Beanies,

I sent my resignation letter yesterday. When the General Manager called me and asked me why I decided to quit after 10 years, I cried. Unexpectedly.

I did not cry because I was sad to leave the company, but because I felt so sorry for myself for having to go through that for 10 years.

Before yesterday, I knew the company did me no justice, but I never thought that I would feel so sorry for myself until then. It’s like now I am on the outside looking into the life I have had for 10 years. I cried when I looked back at what I have endured.

The company knew that they were not being just to me and yet they did nothing. Because I did not say a word. So they continue to suppress me.

I finally had the courage to leave because I received another job offer, from a company that did not use my weakness against me. I decided to join the new company because of its people, and I am also leaving this company because of its people.

Funny, I thought I am someone who would jump at money. But here I am, I stayed 2 years ago because of people, I decided to leave because of people, and I also decided to join the new place because of people. Funny, really, I must be getting old 🙂

So beanies, don’t be like me. Please love yourself.

    Omo transient I’m tearing up..

    because you’re so brave and I’m so happy for you. 🌷

    Beanies also told me in my Love Feb post too that I needed to love myself and put myself first. So I did, or tried my best to learn to love myself and stand for myself. I’m happy that you’re choosing this path too. I think it’s the correct one.

    I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of us. I’m so proud of Beans.💕

    Well done. We spent way too much time at work to feel miserable at it. I understand so much not being valued even if the company knows your value, just because you said nothing. I’ve learned from that and I’m so glad to learn you also have.
    I also understand so much why you cried… and I also tell you it was something you needed to do. Everything out. ¡Penas fuera! as we say in Spanish.
    Wishing the best for you in this new job. Fighting!

    Looking back you must be only seeing the figure 10 right now. But you probably know that not every moment of the 10 years was bad. We do tend to focus on the amount of time we’ve spent on sth when it doesn’t work like we expected it to but only focusing on that will drain you because you can’t change it anymore. What you can do is to focus on what’s next and how you spend your today and tomorrow. I’ll make it easy for you. You did a great thing by quitting your job. You must be so proud of yourself . You’ve lived a good day. And what’s gone is gone but you’ve gained a valuable experience even if it’s that good people matter and you only need good and worthwhile people in your life.

    @transient I am sorry that you had to go through this for as long as you did. I am also very happy that you decided to put your happiness and wellbeing ahead of a organization that did not value you. I wish you all the best with your new job.

    Listen, you did the right thing. If you feel undervalued, unfairly treated….its best to leave. I know because I have gone through this. Don’t be so hard on yourself and good luck on your new job. I hope you have wonderful experience working and growing with them in your new job.
