How To Quit A Job?
The story
How do you quit a job that really depends on you?
I've been with this corporate company for over five years. When I started, I really enjoyed it—different team, exciting projects... but things changed. I was moved to a new team last year after I politely mentioned to my previous boss that I wasn’t feeling it anymore. Then, I got shifted again, and now I’m with my current team for the past month and a half. I've honestly never felt worse about work in my life. I absolutely hate what I’m doing now; there’s no interest, no motivation. I feel sick every morning, and my Sundays are just filled with dread. Anxiety and depression have crept in.
The tricky part is that I’m working on a brand-new project, and I’m one of the most experiencd people in this field here, so they’re really counting on me. Like, heavily relying on me. If I left, it would seriously throw a wrench in their plans. But I’ve hit a wall and feel like I can’t do this anymore. Not one more day. They’ve even told me no vacation or sick days are allowed for the next few months due to the workload, and my boss subtly reminded me about the two sick days I already took. That’s when it really hit me—it’s time to go.
But I’d be quitting without another job lined up, and that worries me. Plus, I feel guilty about leaving them in such a tough spot, and I dread how my boss might treat me during the notice period. I really need advice here. 😭

man I totally get where you’re coming from 😓 it’s tough when you’re stuck in a job that’s eating away at your wellbeing...
Feeling burned out can be overwhelming for sure! Taking care of yourself should be a priority though no job’s worth sacrificing your peace of mind!
Quitting without another gig isn’t ideal but trust your gut and instincts! :) Something else will come your way eventually 💪 you’ve got this, it’s all about doing what’s best for you!!!
