I'm a little older than you, but back in March (it was a Tuesday) I woke up and said to myself "today is the day I resign". I didn't have another job lined up. I just knew that I was done with being a Department of Defense federal contractor. I stayed home for 3 months (not even actively looking for a job), and then got a great job where I can work from home. I have no regrets. I would encourage anyone who can financially afford to "take a little break" to leave their job, take a breath and then get back out there. I FULLY realize that this isn't something that most people can do, but if you can, do it.
Omg I love this!! Yes 100% agree. We all work SO hard for most of our life and are warranted a little break to recenter especially if we aren't liking our jobs. Such an inspiring story!! That makes me so happy it worked out for you. ❤
I can relate to how you feel about your ex role 😂 I’m supposed to consult internal clients too and I definitely don't care or know much to help them haha
To the old guard telling you to stay: "Never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with"
Great and inspiring story! We need part 2 now!!
Yes! best advice ever :)

"Big serious words" made me giggle. Your values are way better!
Hahahah 😂 you can tell I already didn't fit in! Aw thanks haha!
You were too good for them@@ifycadeau
They put me on a PIP 😭
That can be so frustrating :) just remember if your personal goals don't match what they're measuring you against, take it with a grain of salt!
