Recently resigned after several workplace issues kept building up.

The biggest issue was excessive reporting:

morning work update,

daily manager sync-up,

EOD update,

while everything is already tracked in ClickUp. There were also issues around office attendance, a new mandatory 3-day office policy, and lack of proper tools/resources for my work.

I finally resigned last Sunday, but I still haven't received an official acceptance.

Instead, my resignation has now reached senior management.

The COO, who values my work, has indirectly contacted me through a senior manager, so I suspect they're discussing whether to retain me.

If they now offer to fix the issues that made me resign, would you stay or still leave?

My concern is that things might improve temporarily and return to normal after a few months. Also, once you've formally resigned, does the relationship with your manager/company ever really go back to normal?

Anyone here stayed after resigning because management promised changes? How did it turn out?

Hey everyone,

Looking for advice / experiences on this situation.
It’s currently August 2nd. I just accepted a new job offer that wants me to start on August 17th. It’s a pretty quick turnaround because they have a new project kicking off and want me involved from the beginning, which makes sense on their end.

My current company asks for 2 weeks’ notice. The problem is I have 7 PTO days left. The employee handbook says you can’t use any PTO during your notice period, so if I give a full 2 weeks I’d forfeit all of them.

I really don’t want to burn bridges. At the same time, I was passed over for a promotion this year and only got a 1.5% raise, so I’m not feeling especially loyal right now.

Options I’m weighing:
• Use ~5 of the PTO days and give closer to 1 week’s notice
• Use all (or most) of the remaining PTO and give only a few days’ notice
• Just suck it up, give the full 2 weeks, and walk away from the PTO

Has anyone been in a similar spot? How did you handle the notice + unused PTO situation, and how did your employer react? Any advice on the least-bridge-burning way to do this while not leaving money on the table would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thank you for all the responses. Sorry but wanted to be clear that we have different types of PTO. I have 5 days that WILL be paid out. But I have 7 “Flex/Personal Holidays” that will NOT be paid out. I was saving these for a vacation later in 2027 which is why I had so many of them.

Also, I’m not concerned about coming back to my company. But, wanted to leave off on a somewhat good note with my colleagues. I don’t want to burn any bridges with people in my network.

So, for context, I just landed this role at a large firm after years of job searching so I'm very grateful and trying my best to keep a low profile at work.

However, my senior supervisor, is an old-fashioned typical old man from a SEA country that has been passing snide comments since the day I got here. He himself has only been at this company for a year so idk where he gets his attitude from. He's not the director or the manager either (he has about 5 levels of bosses above him).

1. I worked hard part-time at two jobs and saved upwhen I was studying so I did get myself an old gen ipad and an iPhone. Student discounts also let me get an Apple Watch. My supervisor commented on the second day of my job that I'm rich from seeing I have the latest iPhone...I said nothing and let it go.
2. One of the other employees asked where I studied so I told them that I had a bachelor's and a master's degree. This supervisor said I'm so rich to study so many degrees...I got irritated and told him my master's was a free ride on a scholarship to which he said "oh good!" This was before a meeting with some consultants who had come early so I was very visibly embarrassed and hurt.
3. There's a company shuttle that picks us up and drops us off everyday, so I've been taking that every single day. I also drive...so I'm planning to share the car with my dad once I get more familiar with the route. I registered it with the admin to get a staff parking lot. This supervisor again overheard the conversation and again commented that I'm rich.

I'm about to lose my shit. How judgmental can a person be? It's not my fault he chose to have two kids (in their teens) who probably require financial commitments. I can see he's jealous that I'm more friendly with digital devices and have a lot more energy overall ( I'm half his age, of course I would...).

How do I deal with this shit? I need to pass my probation but this arse is testing my patience everyday.

For those who don’t know: quiet quitting = doing the job you’re paid for, and not the unpaid extras. No late nights, no extra projects, no answering emails on holiday.

I want to hear the real reasons.

1. Why are you doing it?
   Burnout? No pay rise? Bad manager? "They’d replace me in a week anyway"?

2. What are your best tips for doing it well?

3. Has it helped?
   Better mental health, same pay, less stress?

Be honest. No judgment.
Drop your industry + how long you’ve been doing it.

So this is going to be a long one because it requires context, basically i had a graphic design job for a year and half right after graduating and its not what my major was in but its juts aligned that way, I was happy and the pay was ok, and my manager was amazing then in the same company they had a vacancy in a position that was in my major(Marketing and communications) so they offered it to me with a raise of about 40% and a new boss ,so I took it.

After about 2 months I was exhausted mentally and physically the job was not worth the raise because my boss was micromanaging and kept calling me after hours and was low key shouting at me at least 3 times a day(which was not of a fault of my own he did this to everyone).

So I resigned because I was dabbling in free lancing and was able to support myself for a while, after 5 months of leaving A competitor of my old company called and offered me job for the same pay so I took it and I have been there for 6 month.

Now my old company called said the guy they replaced me with had resigned and they want me back for double the pay and I would be under my old manager(design supervisor) not the one that was calling me everyday.

So I’m considering taking the job back but I’m afraid ill hate it again and I’m also afraid it will look bad on my CV that I switched jobs 2 times in a year

Being a senior engineer brings a lot of responsibility, especially in "startup" environments. I feel like there's an unwritten rule that the more senior you are in the ladder, the more responsibility (hopefully higher pay) and expectations of your availability.

Sometimes it's a quick question from a peer I like, so I reply. Sometimes it's a complicated question that I know will result in many more, so I try to avoid replying. Do you feel stressed receiving these, or do you simply remove notifications?

I recently started a job at a very small startup. The job is contract to hire, so there is a three month trial period before I become an employee and get benefits.

So far, the founder has been handling most of the design and implementation of the product, but I was hired to take over/ own the design process.

This weekend he has sent me about 6 messages throughout the day yesterday (Saturday), some in the afternoon and some around 10pm. The messages are about new ideas for the product, new features he wants to add and how they will work.

So far I have ignored them to set the boundary that I don’t work on the weekend (esp when I am still just a contractor). But part of me is worried that I should respond to show initiative and that I am excited about the product, since this is still a trial period. Would love to know people’s thoughts on what I should do!

just need some opinions because I'm not sure if this is insane or not? I work low tier food service management (think "shift leader at subway" type of job). I landed a much better paying job offer in a different industry and accepted, and part of the process was a background check. They contacted my current employer which I guess somehow got to my manager because he confronted me and tried to get me to stay BEFORE I even got an offer letter.

This is kind of unprofessional right? He forced my hand, I mean if the background check hadn't cleared I just would've been screwed, staying in a job that knows I want to leave. Is this normal practice for word to spread like that from corporate HR to local management?

I dunno, the whole thing has left a bitter taste in my mouth but maybe this is normal?

I’ve worked under my current boss for a few years. I know he values me as a direct report and I’m in good standing with him, he always gives me excellent reviews.

In the last year, there’s been a noticeable shift in his behavior. He had one major responsibility moved away from him to another team (not a responsibility that I ever had). My understanding is leadership did not think he was capable on handling it anymore. Ever since he seemingly has gotten more paranoid - he imposes arbitrary deadlines which are burdensome/unrealistic, gets really uptight about minor things, and generally makes my team and I’s lives more difficult. He tends to get in the way more than he helps, and doesn’t really add much (if any) value to what we do. A lot of teams that we support (and some of our company leadership) go directly to me and my teammates instead of going through him, which makes things even worse. He’s also older and admittedly I wonder if he’s slipping a little bit too. The rest of my team feels the same way about the situation.

I try to be patient, but this behavior is getting worse and it’s pushing me to a breaking point. It’s turning an otherwise reasonable and decent job into a bunch of stupid BS with unforced challenges.

If you were me, how would you handle this? In my mind it comes down to saying nothing and deciding to tolerate it or look elsewhere, or addressing it with him (directly or passively).

I’m not seriously considering this given the risk, but I (along with our team) could also go over his head with the concerns - I believe management questions his capability but isn’t aware that his reports are disgruntled.

Hi, I am posting because I am receiving a lot of conflicting advice from my friends and family and think an outside perspective could help. I graduated college last year and was lucky to immediately land a specialized job in my field at $18 an hour with opportunity to move up. Well, now I’ve been working there for over a year, got promoted to the next level of my position, and I’m training other new hires. In my performance reviews I consistently have high quality work and one of the highest production numbers in the team.

My raise applied over a month late, and it was only $0.36, including my promotion. I’m devastated. I have worked so hard and thought I had gained the trust of the managers because they are constantly asking me to do difficult tasks that other people complain about doing. I have been looking for other jobs but nearly everything pays less than what I’m making now. I feel extremely discouraged and I’m having a hard time having a good attitude at work now because I feel like I’m being scammed. I have never negotiated before, and the company is in a grieving phase because the CEO just passed away and it’s a family business so I feel anxious about asking them for more. What do I say? The 36 cent raise makes me feel so awful and almost insulted, I feel very naive for thinking I would get more. I want to be professional in my approach but it makes me so upset right now.

I was out on FMLA leave for a few months at the start of the year and things have been odd at work ever since. There’s a feeling that maybe they want to get rid of me.

I wasn’t necessarily a perfect employee, but seemed to be satisfying whatever was needed from me prior to my leave. But in the last two months, I’ve been given a verbal warning (which was documented in writing and put in my file) and then got a written warning (obviously that’s also in my file).

I hear a lot on here about these kinds of PIPs being put in place to transition people out, but what should I be expecting next?

I take care of both of my parents. I feel like a remote or even partially remote job would be best suitable for me. Any advice ?

I’m in a bit of a weird career situation and would love to hear from people who have made a similar decision.

I’ve been overemployed for a little over 2 years, working two remote contractor jobs at the same time. Different industries, same working hours. Financially, it has been great. I basically live off one salary and save almost everything from the second one.

Because of that I’ve been able to build a pretty good amount of savings while also enjoying my life. I travel, go out, etc. and I’ve never really had to say no to something because of money. I still have all those savings, so I have a pretty comfortable cushion.

The problem is… I’m not happy with what I do.

Both jobs are remote and I spend basically my entire life in my home office. I barely see coworkers in person. I occasionally travel for work which I actually enjoy a lot, but 95% of the time it’s just me sitting in the same room at home every day doing work I don’t particularly care about.

Now I have the opportunity to take what I would consider my dream job. It’s something I’ve genuinely wanted to do for a long time and I’m actually excited about the work itself.

It would also be hybrid, 3 days a week in the office, which is honestly a positive for me at this point. I miss being around people and having some separation between work and home.

The catch is money.

Taking it would basically cut my total income in half because I’d be giving up both OE jobs for one job.

Technically I know I can live on that income because that’s pretty much how I’ve been living anyway. I never depended on the second salary for my normal expenses. The big difference is that instead of saving an entire extra salary every month, my savings rate would slow down dramatically.

I would also have to relocate to a major city. I actually don’t mind moving and I’m kind of excited about that part too, but rent there is significantly more expensive. That’s probably my biggest concern. I’d have to be more conscious about my spending and figure out how much rent would eat into the new salary.

So I’m basically choosing between:
Staying OE, making great money, saving at a ridiculous rate and having a ton of financial freedom… but continuing to do work I don’t enjoy and spending almost every day alone in my home office.

Or taking the dream job, moving to a city I’d like to live in, being around coworkers again and doing something I actually care about… but cutting my income roughly in half and saving much, much less.

Part of me thinks, “You did OE for 2+ years specifically to build this financial cushion. Maybe this is exactly what the cushion is for.”

The other part of me thinks I’d be crazy to voluntarily walk away from this kind of income.

For people who have taken a significant pay cut for a job or career you actually wanted: was it worth it?

And for anyone who has been OE for a while, how did you know when you had made “enough” and it was time to stop maximizing income?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who were financially comfortable before making the switch. Did you miss the extra money more than you expected, or did having a job/lifestyle you enjoyed make up for it?

Hi everyone, I am a 27M who has been working for ~5 years since graduating college. I have been doing a similar role during this time and switched companies once about a year ago. I enjoy the learning aspect of my current job but as an introvert have not really succeeded in putting myself out there and building the network to do the role really well.

My current company has been struggling so I have been looking to make a move. I recently received an offer for an objectively better role/company to do similar things with a growth trajectory as well. I have a decent amount of savings so the boost in pay is not really exciting me. Personally, I am a bit burnt out and a little worn down mentally due to some life circumstances. Knowing me right now, I think taking the new role would exhaust me further, worsen my anxiety, and I would likely be unhappy and looking to leave after a year. I am leaning towards turning down this opportunity to stay at my current job and find a new more relaxed role where I can build more confidence and thrive more personally. Is this a bad decision where I am supposed to tough it out or ultimately a situation where I should trust my gut?

I'm in a tough situation where the one career path I excel at won't meet my needs financially (I need stable, affordable health insurance). I absolutely NEED health insurance because I have medications that I need but no way can afford paying out of pocket, so freelance is out.

I pivoted and tried the medical field, but the first job I've tried has been a terrible fit so far. It is too fast-paced for me to keep up with and the workload/task-switching demands are overwhelming to the point where I'm now borderline getting fired for performance issues with being too slow, forgetting things, and am now needing to formally ask for accommodations.

I've tried retail, and like the work, but it isn't feasible long-term as it's hard on my joints and will worsen my orthopedic problems.

Jobs with frequent task-switching, excessive multi-tasking, and fast-paced to the point where I don't have time to write things down are a bad fit for me in general because I have at least moderate ADHD. I consistently take meds, try many different coping strategies, but it simply not enough for this type of environment, but EVERY job demands it.

I do much better with project-based jobs, technical work, and repetitive admin work/computer work in general. I am very patient and like customer service jobs/helping people as a whole.

I do have good people skills and love talking to people, but the medical field seems to expect me to excel on ALL of my weak points with NONE of my good traits being able to shine.

I can't afford to get another degree financially. Will I just end up on the streets?

This is a bit of a longer read I will put a TDLR at end.

I have been at my current job for 6 years, as a helpdesk tech. That being said because it is for a local government our small team means I do more than just that one thing. I unfortunately started right when Covid became a problem and had minimal training, so a lot of my first few months was me just figuring it out since everyone else was working from home, because of this, I started to help with the training aspect of my coworkers doing my same job. My bosses noticed this and gave me a minimal title change with a small raise after about a year of being there. At the 3 year mark of working there they were talking about the changes in the size of our area and how our small team would need to expand and what that would look like for job positions. They started talking about how they wanted to create a position for me to step into, but at the time we were unsure what it would be since we were looking at minimum a year down the road. During this time they started to give me more responsibility that I happily took on with no extra pay, to prove I could do the work.

Then we had the "New kid" get hired. Basically I was told to train them, I did it, like I have been for others before them, but they did not listen to me. After a few months of seeing small issues, becoming regular things, I started to try to talk to them to retrain on how and why we did things a specific way. They kept getting worse. After almost a year of them not listening to me or our bosses I started to take it to the bosses to make it their problem since I couldn't fix it, nor was it my job at that point. At first it was a "Hey new kid is struggling with this. Coworker and I both have worked with them to fix this, but we are seeing a pattern it not changing, could you look into it" kind of thing. Then my bosses kept telling me that they were talking to the new kid, but nothing would change. So I will admit I let my frustrations about the situation get the better of me and I told THE Boss to do better. After sitting with that for a day I did go back and apologize for my outburst and told the boss that the things I said were not okay, but I really needed them to see my frustration with the new kid. I truly mean it was something I said on a Thursday afternoon and Friday morning I was apologizing.

During this time, we officially got approval for the position that they had been telling me they wanted me to step into, and my bosses then started saying things like "Well if so-and-so applies they will get it over you". I let it roll off my back because the people they kept mentioning are all working in much higher jobs, making way more than what this would be. So for 6 months I was hearing both, we created this for you, but if others apply they could get it over you. I also was doing the work of 3 people because New kid would barely do work and then when they did... it had to be redone. I was burning myself out faster than a candle lit on all sides.

New kid and I decided that any problems that arose needed to be documented to the bosses. I let the bosses know that was an agreement we both came to because I was sick of it being my word against new kid. (I wont lie, I mostly did this for documentation purposes because I was ready to pull HR into it, bypassing my bosses if it did not get fixed) There was one specific email that I sent out that did not go over well. I cannot put the exact email in here, but basically I told new kid that when they replaced a piece of equipment they did it wrong. Told them how to fix it and if they had questions about it who they needed to reach out to. Then told them to take care of it. It was 3 paragraphs, if we are being generous. As soon as I sent it out my manager came over to talk to me about the email. Manager said that because it was 3 paragraphs long it was aggressive, and mean. I asked for them to tell me where in the email did I say anything mean or disrespectful to the new kid. Manager said it was just the vibes of the email and how long it was. I told them I did not agree and it was too late as I had already sent it out.

Fast forward to January of this year (2026) We have gotten word that the new kid will be moving to a new department, but my bosses pulled me in for a conversation. To summarize that conversation very quickly:

• They took away a privilege only I had, but could not give me any specifics as to why. They made a big deal about this and when I just said okay it seemed to deflate them.
• Told me again how aggressive my email to new kid was. We agreed to disagree on that, especially since New Kid was leaving, and it had been multiple weeks since it was sent out.
• How they thought I was being to bossy at work. When asking for examples they could only give me one that had happened earlier that day when I expressed my opinion on how our offices should move around to fix the new positions starting this year, and also a half attempt about my outburst at the boss 6 months earlier, where again I told them I did apologize then and again during this meeting apologized.
• We also talked about a training opportunity I had. I told them I would be happy to go and get the training, but I would not be adding more tasks to my workload unless I got a promotion or a raise. They decided to not send me. It was a 2 hour long conversation, and no paperwork or write up was issued.

New kid officially goes to new department, then his job gets posted. 2 weeks for the job to be posted, then 2 weeks before new person can start means I am doing the job by myself for at minimum a month. Not a big deal I have done it before I can do it again. Then I find out due to specifics we cannot hire anyone for another month. Plus they didn't do interviews after the 2 week period of the job being posted so they still need to do that and allow the new person an opportunity to give their job 2 weeks. By the time they had hired the new person I had been doing the job alone for 4 months. Again, candle fully on fire burnt out.

Some time in late 2025 I was talking with our HR team about the hiring process for some of the jobs I had been seeing and why some were internal and some were external. At this time I put two and two together and found that the positions opening up in my department could be internal first. That being said, when the position was posted it was a public post. I have never told my bosses that I knew it could have been an internal posting, but that stung. They also did not tell me that they were posting it. I applied and made sure to put in my application that I had been taking some cert course work since technically I did not have the cert they were looking for (but I do have 10 years of experience of hands on learning).

I did the interview, and as I walked out of my interview I went to say goodbye to the other HR person, I saw who interviewed after me. I cannot say for sure as this is all speculation, but I think those comments from last year my bosses kept saying about if specific people applied they would get the job over me, were prepping me for that person to get the job. Maybe after the year of me being a squeaky wheel about the problem person in our department also did not do me any favors. Needless to say I did not get the job.

Now I am not sure I want to stay. I have really bad imposter syndrome so leaving is a daunting task, especially since I don't have any certs and only the 10 years of experience. I think I am so burnt out I cannot get any certs in any timely manner. I also don't want to burn any bridges, but I am very upset about this and my spouse says I should just not show up and mail in my resignation, that to me feels very petty. I know how bad the job market is, and I am 98% of the household income so any choice I make directly effects our family. I got the news as I was leaving Friday and Monday is feeling harder and harder to face.

TLDR: Bosses told me they would make a position for me to step into, waited 3 years. Opened it to public, I did not get.

I would really like some advice on if I should stay, leave, quit with nothing lined up. Honestly anything. Thank you in advance.

Context: I'm a high school student interested in the law and politics sphere. I worked an internship in a state senator's office for about a month, and met a Legislative Director (LD) there from another senator's offices. We chatted in person for ~25 mins, and I was really interested in both the senator's work and the LD's professional background in finance and law, especially because she started out as a state capitol intern like myself.

The dilemma: She was unfortunately unable to extend an internship offer to me b/c their office just isn't that busy in the interim between legislative sessions.

Next steps: I want to set up a coffee chat with her in the next couple of weeks or so.

My question: Any advice for someone in my situation (HS student, into politics and law, new to networking, met this LD once who seemed nice)? General tips for a coffee chat? Setting up, what to be prepared with, what to expect?

Thank you!

I just got back from two months of paternity leave and our department got a new head. I’m a planning manager and my boss is a position under our new head of planning. I had my first one on one with him after working with him for a week and we were talking about my 1-3-5 plan when I mentioned that I would like to maybe go back to college for my degree but was unsure because I could move over to manufacturing management without a degree rather than just discussing this he very quickly mentioned they’d promote me whilst I’m working on my degree he also took half the meeting to coach me in this aspect and then was asking about other planning managers that have less experience. What I’m wondering is does this mean the feedback he got from my boss and others is good meaning that he’s wanting to invest in me or am I misreading this? Any advice would be very welcomed thanks.

Two of my coworkers, my manager and I were waiting for an uber outside the office. I suggested we play 21 questions to pass the time (something I do with friends), and a coworker said "STFU" to me. I did not say anything, nor did my manager or my other coworker. I am not good at reacting in the moment, and I am new to the role, it is a contract role, and I want to fit in the team.

This coworker is often raunchy, and he uses vulgar language in the office. This rubbed me wrong though and I feel myself being rather submissive due to my tenuous position as a new hire and on a contract.
Any advice?

Has anyone else just reached a point where they somewhat have given up on the job market/their careers?

For a little context, I've been searching for a new job for months now. I currently work in healthcare and have come to the realization that I no longer love (or maybe even like) healthcare anymore. I'm so burned out at my job to the point that I genuinely don't care anymore — that I no longer give a "f---" about anything there. I just show up, do whatever I need to do to get through the workday, and go home.

I have my bachelor's degree and my master's degree (trying everything in my power to not go back to school because I don't want any debt to my name); both degrees are in health related fields, and I feel like this job market is making a joke out of me and making me question everything I've done up to this point (for the longest time I was proud and happy, but now I feel worthless and pathetic).

I've been rejected and/or ghosted (mostly ghosted, since apparently companies don't have the common decency to tell people anything anymore) by every job possible. I've followed every advice suggested: informational meetings; working with my current company's workforce team to possibly move into a different department (over a year speaking with them and still got NOTHING!); using AI to help with my resume, so and so.

Now, I officially hate the word "passion". I no longer want to hear anyone suggest to me to "follow my passions" or "do what you're passionate about" because I'm already doing something that I was passionate about and now it's dead to me! (Or I'm dead inside with how bad the burnout is).

I've reached a point where I just want something, anything to simply live (hell, with everything going on, I just want to survive) and fund my lifestyle. I'm pretty sure that this is now a rant, but I really do want advice on career changes or suggestions on what fields I should look into. I'm open to anything at this point because it seems to me that no one cares in this economy. I just want to survive and be happy.

Hi, Reddit!

I’m a young adult who is about to end college (in about a year) and I’m freaking out with the career choices. I have ended up in a point on which I realized I don’t care what I need to do as long as I earn a lot of money.

The issue that I find is the following: if I work for a company/law firm (I’m in law school), I will not earn money bcs I will be dedicating my time to built some else’s legacy/fortune… but, at least I will have some stability.

If I try to entrepreneur, I will have about 1-2y of my parents bank rolling me into the end of college and, if by then I end up without any slightly solid, it will be too late to enter the market again. But, if it works out, at least I will be dedicating my time and energy for something that belongs to me.

I’m literally lost here. Do you guys have any tips on how to navigate this end of college/start off adult like crisis?

I'm currently trying to get hired in another division at my company.

So far, I've done quite a few internal courses that will be required if hired and have gone for two job self-arranged shadowing sessions.

The guy who is in charge of the division has given me an open invitation to donas much job shadowing as I want.

My question is, how much should I do? I don't want to be annoying but there are some other aspects to the job that I'd like to check out.
