How do you feel about leaving a long-term committed job?

[bobalife]

I gave a month notice to my workplace, recently it’s slowly hitting me that I have 1.5 week left at my current job… it makes me quite sad… I didn’t realized how emotional it was for me.. whenever someone say they’re sad I am leaving, it makes me extra sad.. when my director almost cried, I felt like crying with her or if a client gets sad/cry, I felt like balling my eyes out too 😭 ngl I did end up crying to a co-worker though😅😂

My co-workers has been constantly getting at me playfully for ditching them and it makes them wanna leave too lol. But it made me realized how much they will miss me just as I would missed them.

Definitely felt crazy and surreal I’m finally leaving after being here for such a long time and how much I’ve contributed my heart & restless soul here… my supervisor sent out an email on staffing update about my transitioning with the impact I’ve made on representing our company’s cultural and other accomplishments has really shook me… and quite touching🥺

Bittersweet indeed 🤍💔

I just left my job a couple of weeks ago. I decided I wanted to retire and do other things with my life. It was a good job and I liked my boss and my co-workers and I accomplished a lot in the 2 years I was there.

I still think of the job and i maybe wonder if I might have made a mistake but over the last two weeks I got a lot of home improvement stuff done and feel like i made the right decision.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[bobalife]

Much deserve, your welcome!😊

[DrPepper12]

Very sweet and touching! Hope you're off to new challenges and more coworkers that become friends

[bobalife]

Thank you☺️ I definitely have a new chapter ahead of me. Nervous but excited.

I have done it. I don’t get emotionally attached. At the same time, I loved on to the next job.
then had to leave after 1.5 years. to another job as a mom… then 3 years later… back to work and had to leave my little babies… they were in good hands with grandma till I get home. That was a bit more difficult… at the end… kids grow fast and not always with them is healthier. They missed me more 😂. I will soon leave my current job after 10-13 yrs… but I am not emotional about it.

It has been somewhat emotional for me when I leave a job, and I've left a few of them. What is kinda sad is the people that I've worked with, and developed a professional friendship with. I won't be seeing them any more. Yes, we may stay in touch from time to time, and see each other's LinkedIn posts, but it's not the same.

Im thinking about leaving my job of nearly 10 years soon as I want a job to earn more money and more sustainable hours. I know a lot of people will miss me and I will miss them but I have to do what I have to do, hopefully if I can find another job first.

I would feel instant relief and happiness. I’ve at Walmart for 8 years and it has destroyed me mentally.

[Dongie]

You're too young for that. Find something better. It's their.

[Peridot25]

It’s funny people say you’re too young for something but it happens anyway.

[Dongie]

I guess it must be true.

[Kingofkings1992]

no one is stuck at a job. If you don’t like it, then leave

[Peridot25]

@Kingofkings1992 You mean just up and leave like that?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes, find another job. There’s plenty of jobs available

[Peridot25]

Cool! Maybe I’ll quit my job now and look for a new one in the process.

[DishLady]

When it's your time to leave, it's your time to leave. That's simply how it is. There's some sadness and all that, however you're leaving for a reason, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Nikki1989]

It is fine if you have an even better job to go to.

[DoggyDude]

Leaving any position in which you strived along side decent co workers is always sad.

[DoggyDude]

Oh but usually the right thing, if you decided to leave, the sadness is always going to happen but if you decide to go and have plans to move on (or will be glad to escape the work) its only a tinge of sadness.

[lightbulb27]

was painful. but in hindsight, I should have left on my own well before. there is new life and new challenge after, so embrace the change.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've had a few jobs I miss now that they are over. It's nice, but every job isn't going to have that.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I've only ever missed the people I've worked with never the job, therefore I still keep in touch with some of them, and never looked back!

[HawkPerception]

Everyone goes their own way in life at some point. You have to trade comfort for more experiences. That applies to every aspect of your life.

[zagor]

I guess it would depend on why I was leaving. I've never really regretted quitting a job, though there were things I missed about some of them.

[WhitneySnow]

I’d probably feel the same way you do when I get a real job

[Dongie]

Yeah, but they're going to make some great memories. New adventure awaits.

[LiamJHayden]

I have never experienced that and as I own my company hopefully never will.

[Metalbarbie]

Congratulations. It's bittersweet like you said. You'll make better memories at the new place.

I've been at my current job for almost two years.

I'm looking for other jobs and can't wait till the day I leave.

I liked it at first but not anymore.

It's a shame cause the other people are really nice

[vicphilips]

I'm going to say something off topic, what's the secret to looking so gorgeous?

[NathanDavis]

if I gotta... I gotta

[Kelly6]

can't tell if don't have experience of it
