Quitting your job without another one lined up is the ultimate flex
I did this!
me too. i hated that job, couldn’t sleep or eat. i had prepared my letter of resignation and had been carrying it in my bag for a week or two, not knowing exactly when i would tender it because this job and the people who I worked with were soulless ghouls.
i had a week of vacation scheduled to begin on a Friday and a meeting scheduled with my boss and my bosses boss scheduled for Thursday pm to discuss an upcoming project that they had pinned my name to.
i go into the meeting and they start yapping at me about the new project and yada yada yada. i couldn’t sit there anymore and listen to them. i just said, let me just stop you guys right there and i reached into my bag and pulled out my letter, signed it, slid it across the table, and walked out. their jaws dropped. i gave them two weeks but never showed my face there again except to drop off my laptop. this was at one of KC’s larger employers. felt great.
