This wasn’t recent but recent enough that I still want to say it. I’ve spent years working and networking to get into a certain elitist “hard to get into” agency just so I can tell them to piss off out of spite. Well, it finally happened, and I managed to waste a grand total of 5 people’s time just to reject their offer in the end because I wanted to watch the world burn. Nothing I do in my career will ever feel as good as this. Yes I’ve burnt all those bridges but yknow what. Worth it.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?
