Quit my job, last 2 weeks feel really awkward
« on: May 05, 2015, 07:27:11 PM »
I guess this is one of the reasons I hesitated so long to quit. There is at least one person in the office that seems to have it out for me since I started and she's really ramped up the passive aggressive attitude. The entire time I worked at the company I worked hard to try to improve things and I can't help but feel like my name will be dragged through the mud. Having a really hard time with this.

I'm trying to focus on my new adventures but I'm allowing myself to be overwhelmed with the job that I quit because I was constantly overwhelmed with.  Ahhh.

You can't control other people or what they do.  You are free from it now.  It has only been two weeks, It is going to get a whole lot better.  Good luck.

It's 2 weeks and you never have to see those assholes again. Just ignore it and get the fuck out of there.

A year from now this will be hard to even remember once you are enjoying a new life.

Congrats on actually having the balls (courage) to quit! My work place can be very hostile sometimes but i'm not ready to leave until I have another offer on the table. Enjoy!

I'm transitioning my duties off, I want them to be in a good position.  Also it's professional courtesy and I've offered to do some stuff for them on contract basis that is more interesting

This is your chance to say the things that are true, but that no one ever says.  No need to be awful about it, but the next time that one person does or says something passive-aggressive, call him/her on it and say loud enough for others to hear that the passive aggressive attitude is one of the reasons that have led to your leaving.  If you can do all of that with a smile or even a laugh (as in "none of this matters anymore"), then that's the best way.

This is so true. Keep calm, focus on the next adventure, and tell yourself that you and only you are in control of your life.

What you are going through is a really common part of moving on from a job. Things that have bothered you before now, have a lid kept on them, so that the work gets done without too much friction. When you are leaving the lid starts to lift, and what you really think starts leaking out. The same thing happens for people who are around you. It often doesn't even reflect the whole picture -- just the things that had a lid on them.

It is just part of the ending. No need to overreact or take it too personally.

You are almost gone now. So why don't you just punch her in the face?

Just kidding, I don't want to counsel violence. I do however think you should tell her to go fuck herself.
