Handing in my notice next week! Anyone else planning to do that soon?

[Calling]

I have had enough! They don't know it yet but I will be handing in my notice.
Even more, I will be retiring!

I'm hoping to very soon! I just need everything to go through for my new job first 🙂. I think my colleagues will be surprised at first.

@LuckOfTheDrawer congratulations! How do you feel?
I feel positive.

I went for a career break instead. I am on a second day of it. Panicking a bit what to do job wise...

I need my bitch boss to fuck off but i keep in mind (when she's being a bitch) that my DD is Year10 in Sept and I plan to move either at the end of Year 11 or end Y13.
If I stay in this job (and pray new position comes up that I get it) I have minimum 2 years or max 4 years until I go and live by the sea

You probably have transferrable skills.

@BeeBowBeeBow oh no, not another b1tch biss.
How do you cope when bb is being bad? What do you say and do?

Yes, I am planning my exit from the job and sector I am in. I have a long notice though (3 months).

I have updated my CV and I am doing a couple of online courses to improve my knowledge and skills so I can have more options then I will start my job hunt.

In the meantime I have ''quiet-quitted'' and only do the bare minimum required.

I can't fully retire yet but I work part-time only and will continue to stick to that pattern.

Life really is too short to put up with office politics, ridiculous workload and deadlines and pointless meetings and I am simply too old to put up with this.

I did this in October. Handed in my notice while I was still on probation. Left 1 week later.
I went through the full stages of self doubt, panic, dispair… applied for hundreds of jobs.
did some temping which I thoroughly enjoyed. Finally landed my current job, and I’ve been there 10 weeks and I can honestly say it’s the best career move I ever made. I love it.

stick to your guns and follow your heart. Don’t settle. You are worth more ❤️

8 months into a job I'm good at and enjoy but I don't like how the organisation is run even though the people are lovely. I've updated my CV and advised contacts I wish to move on. I hope to be offered a new job in the next few months and be in and out by the 12 month mark.

I accepted a job offer today. Not looking forward to the handing in notice rigmarole at all.

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait.

Thank you! Yes, I'm feeling really positive as well. I've worked in the same place for years, and I just feel ready for a big change.

@Calling, congratulations on your retirement as well 🎉 - have you made any plans yet?

@LuckOfTheDrawer many thanks, no plans in place, very early days...
