1. Regularly buying lotto tickets multiple times a week.
2. Mentally scripted farewell emails months ago.
3. Already identified ever-shrinking list of preferred attendees to your going away lunch.
Bonus:
4. Inquiring about severance packages and upcoming layoffs, hoping maybe you're on the list.
5. Wondering how far you can stretch your 401k if you cash out now and take the tax penalty.
6. Checking LinkedIn multiple times a week to see who has visited your profile and check out new jobs that have been posted.
7. Still fantasizing about opening a restaurant in the tropical destination where you vacationed last July. Or a food truck in your home town.
8. Thoughts of "maybe working here wouldn't be THAT bad" keep crossing your mind whenever you visit your client's corporate headquarters.
9. Feeling joy for every coworker that escapes and sadness for the former coworkers that inquire about coming back.
10. Laying in hotel room bed at midnight, browsing Fishbowl and taking comfort in the fact that you're not alone.
Lol, adding onto this - feeling jealous of every co-worker who announces they are leaving... and then feeling terror as:
1) your internal clock starts ticking
2) you realize that you’ve been procrastinating on updating your resume, and
3) by the time you’re done with the resume, hiring period is coming to an end and you might just have to endure a few more months of depression
1. You often think about quitting
2. You have enough money to quit
3. You post on Fishbowl about quitting
The feeling of dread. Dread when you wake up, when you are commuting, when you walk in the building, when you turn on your computer... you get the idea.
You start rooting against them
You work at Havas
1. I’m not having fun.
2. I’m not learning/growing.
When both are gone, I’m gone 🏃♂️⚡️💨
The sound of your client’s voice makes you want to die
1. Self medicating
2. Apathy
3. Crying
You're crying everyday AT work.
Taking xanax just to walk in the door
They ask you to quit
You daydream about walking in front of a bus. Not a bus going so fast it will kill you, just knock you down and break your wrist.
The name Ogilvy is on the door
You sigh or roll your eyes on a regular basis
You can’t sleep
You would rather do your taxes
The highlight of your day is taking a shit while applying for jobs and going on fishbowl 💩💩💩
Thoughts on TBWA?
You ask yourself “is it really that bad?” on a daily basis
You walk into the office and your good mood dissipates and the shrill of your boss’ voice breaks your thoughts. The fuck i end up here
You take a really long time to get ready in the morning and drag yourself out the door.
