It was suggested I make this a separate post- Employment woes

[AstoriaGirl]

Hi all,

It was suggested I make this a separate talk Shite post, so here we go.

I started a job late spring, and though I had some yellow flags, I thought I could manage. It's pretty much been 6 months of constant anxiety tension pain, and recently I realized I'd rather be quarantined for 2 months with Ebola than go back to the office. Last night I sent an email to my boss saying that I was concerned about my fit in the office, which she ignored all day. When I came in this morning, I felt there was a 50 percent chance I either quit or was fired. Well, its 40 minutes till the end of the day, time has not been made for me to express my concerns, and so as soon as my boss's meeting is over I'm handing them my termination letter. I don't have anything else lined up yet, it I have confidence now that the future uncertianity is better than how shitty I feel constantly. In addition, my husband basically came to me yesterday and said "you're a withdrawn person since you started this job and we all want you to quit and worry about figuring it out later". I put my heart into this job, answering emails at parties, responding to updates within 10 minutes of my alarm going off, bending over backwards, but I just do not feel that the culture of this office is one where I can succeed.

Quitting a job for cause and not for another opportunity is the scariest decision I've ever made as an adult. But I know if I don't know, in 6 months I'll just be even more upset and pissed at myself.

Please send #thoughts&prayers
