"Getting out of the business" resource thread

Very jealous.

I will burning though my 401K after unemployment runs out, if I don't secure a job first.

I'm assuming a layoff will come any month now. Really would be surprised to still be employed at this shop in 2025.

 

My review was so-so. I’d improved somewhat in the last year but not enough.

There was an incident a few weeks ago when I almost walked off the job. There was a situation where there was an emergency of sorts (I can’t go into too much more detail than that). Someone on Twitter asked a question about a service change we made. There are very specific words we can and cannot use in these situations. I asked my supervisor for guidance about how to respond. I responded exactly as he suggested. He saw the Tweet, said we never use that word. That he was deleting it and redoing it himself. I said he replied exactly as he told me to but he said he didn’t say what he told me.
A few hours later, I asked one of my coworkers who witnessed the whole thing if he said what I thought he did and my coworker said yes.
Next time this happens I’m walking off the job.
