i gave my 2 weeks

Original post by Espo22

i wasn't going to post this until my last day but oh well. Today I gave my 2 weeks notice at work. I was actually going to do it april 10th and this way april 24th would've been my last day but because of my whole foot situation i didn't want to be messed up by not giving them time to find somebody else so I did it today. I told them I'll either finish the first week of May if they find somebody and incase it takes them a little bit longer the latest I'll stay is May 14th. I was so afraid to do it too lol but phew a huge weight lifted off my shoulders

Good for you Denise! Are you going to stick to something in the same field you're in now or go into something totally new?



something new, i really hate a job where you sit behind the desk 9-5 and just do the same thing day in and day out and just dont like the whole corporate world. I prefer something more creative. I am in the works of something new but don't want to post now to jinx it lol

thank you



OMG!! I am so afraid to do this so close to the wedding, but I have had 2 interviews in the past week!!
Good for you!!!

Good for you Denise. If you are truly are unhappy then its great that you are making moves for something better!

I am so jealous. I am dying to quit my job, but I don't have anything else lined up and can't make the move until then!

Enjoy the last few weeks!

Good for you! If you werent happy then theres no reason why you should stay there. I felt so relieved when I gave my two weeks at my last job so I know how it feels. Good luck with the new thing your pursuing! Cant wait to know what it is!

Congrats Denise!! So often so many of us arent brave enough to take that step and before you know it, it's 10 years later, and you're still in the same position making you unhappy. I'm so glad you've decided to take the big step. At least now you are almost forced to find something better for you!! Best wishes!!

I hear you 10000% on the whole corporate world part. My division was just sold so now I'm just waiting to see if i'm out or if there is a slight possibility I might still have a job.

Denise, good for you for going after what you want and what will make you happy!!!!

You'll be great...I don't know you but can tell from your persistance and the way you handled your invite crisis you'll be great at any job.

Denise congratulations!!!!! I am actually leaving my job right before the wedding too (of course it's not as soon as you, but June 3 is my last official day), but I just turned in my letter of resignation effective for that date!! It felt great, but also weird....so I totally hear where you're coming from....

....but isn't it an awesome feeling to know you will start a new life with your FH and hopefully find a great new job too!



you know what i remember your whole post about it and when to actually quit, i was going to Fm you to ask you what you did bc some suggested i quit after the HM and get a paid vacation and yeah makes alot of sense but i just decided to do it this way and get it over with now instead of coming back from HM and then doing it all.

But congrats to you, glad it worked out for you and you figured out when to do it.

It does feel great lol its like WOW this will really be a whole new life but i like it. Good luck to you



Yeah I finally just called HR and asked and she basically told me as long as it wasn't the first day of the month I would get medical benefits for the rest of the month, so I did 2 days in (since June 1 is Sunday)....but I will get paid for the vacation days I don't use anyway, so either way I get paid for the vacation....it was the medical benefits that I was concerned about b/c I can't get on FH's until we are married!

But yay! glad it worked out for us

You must be so relieved right now.

Congrats to you Denise!

I would love to be able to do the same thing...but don't have the courage or anything else lined up yet....if you are miserable at work...you end up bringing it home in the end..and that is never good.
