I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

    I quit my last job without notice because I had one lined up (but it turned out I couldn’t start immediately) and in retrospect my rent situation would have been a lot better if I’d just scrupulously covered my ass for a month. And I’m lucky enough to have the kind of job where people call back within 12h of me submitting a resume but that’s exactly because I do the kind of 100% essential jobs that have a coinflip’s worth of shitty bosses and the kind of pay that leaves you paycheck to paycheck if you’ve had bad enough luck and/or life choices in a particular year. I guess I could’ve just called places and got some temp work from the first employer to offer but then I’m still having to cover my ass but now against the devil I don’t know while learning a whole new set of policies that I’m only gonna use for one month before I’m learning the next ones. If you’re in a secure enough position in your life that you can just quit because you have a good enough balance of savings and demand for your skillset then please take a moment today and practice gratitude to whatever entity or lack thereof that you attribute your good fortune to.
