| > In a word, we could call this resignation by a thousand cuts, which makes it unexpected for managers. Eh eh eh, this feels like reading the Phoenix Project all over again: "are you me!?" My first job out of university was a job at a BigCo, right in the middle of a Death March. Nobody at the beginning of the project remained. Most people who "finished it" were new comers like me or "team leads"(tm). The three years I was there my teammates and I tried to push numerous changes and much needed improvements. Every time we had push back, especially by the team leads who literally shouted everyone down; I now have a profound hate for people with loud soprano voice by I digress. I tried my best to raise up problems, find their roots and solutions. I mean, I couldn't be subtle that I wasn't satisfied with what I have seen. And yet when I quit, my colleagues all could point out reasons of why I quit and yet none expected that I would leave. As the article pointed out, you should quit early and make sure your reasons are known; your old colleagues will owe you and this is pretty much the only way they can get the message. |
