Ahhhh blissful thoughts. The inevitable email depicting my dearest sympathies has been sent... "Friday will be my last day. Let me know if you need anything".
Basically sent it right after the holiday (New Years) and effectively gave them the equivalent of a 3-day notice. Feels good man knowing that I have 0 fucks to give. I gave them the same ounce of care that I've been given when management denied my vacation hours that were going to expire at the end of the year. The Manager was clearly spiteful and wanted to play politics, so they declined my PTO. That was basically the final straw after a lead-up of tons and tons of other bullshit. I understand that we can't always take vacation - that's why I never ask during busy times, go-lives, etc... This wasn't a busy time. It was just a resentful manager that wanted to be an arsehole.
I've said it before, but all it takes to make a fucking awesome job a piece of shit job is just ONE manager away. Folks, if you like your job - I don't care how good you think you have it, you're one turnover away from going to work and hating every minute of it. All it takes is having a manger like the one I just quit on where they clearly value jobs as a higher priority than family... And it clearly shows when you've been married and divorced twice and are batting for third heh. But I'm sure her 3rd will be the winner she is looking for. Couldn't possibly be something internally that has resulted in all those marital issues.
Goodbye consulting world, I won't miss you in the slightest. I've chased the carrot long enough, it's time to stop and smell the roses for once. Cheers folks.
