When did you realize it was time to leave that job?

When I cried on the way to work I knew it was time to leave. My boss was toxic and I felt 100% good when I handed in my resignation.

When I was a teen I worked for big box retailer, I loved it! Until they switched my black female boss for a short white napoleon...he was always watching every move I made! I felt like he thought I was a thief. I knew it was time for me to go when he asked me where you get that scanner from? Who told you can use it?? I almost bashed his head in with it. I went to the break room for the rest of the evening and never returned

When I started getting depressed, dreading going to work, feeling irritable at the thought of me having to go, and being on the job and wishing I could just turn around and go home.

All this plus I realized I was on track to be working 7 days a week with the increase in my workload.

When I started caring less and less about my quality of work. When I started waking up with headaches. When I started taking breaks to look for a new job. When I realized they’re thinking of giving me an increase in work, but not an increase in pay. It’s time to go!

This is a bit on the dark side, but I knew it was time to quit when I had began feeling suicidal about my job. My coworkers used to make jokes that I would eventually leave for lunch and never come back.

When someone I don’t work with but casually say good morning to saw my face and asked if everything was alright. Being there makes me miserable. I don’t speak to anyone in my department. I feel so isolated. I’m the youngest one in my department but since I’ve gotten there it feels like none of the senior level employees have made any real effort to train me or show me how anything works. I feel so detached at this point but it’s been very difficult to find another position. I’m a black women in tech btw.

Was being held back from a promotion by my boss for arbitrary reasons. I talked to the CEO who admitted the reasons weren’t legit but asked that I wait two more mo the for the promo. I got the promo two months later and then resigned two weeks after that. They then had the nerve to act SHOCKED that I was quitting. SMH.
