I am in the process of getting the paperwork done on a new position. I plan on giving 3 weeks notice to my current employer.

Anywho they have lined up a poo ton of projects for me over the next few months and will not have anyone with the knowledge to complete the work(its a small company) . I know everyone thinks they are irreplaceable, but in my case they are going to be stuck until they find someone with my sweet skillz. I feel kinda bad for them but I cant pass up a 50% raise and growth opportunity

Anyone with advice for the reaction I should expect would be greatly appreciated.

They should understand. If they don't they don't give a f about you and you're better off. Do you think they may try to match the raise?

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking as well.

maybe, but the growth opportunity is a big reason in me leaving too. My job is straight for right now (26) but I'm not trying to do it for the rest of my life. There isnt any significant movement upward at my current company. My boss is the owner...

Just did the exact same thing with my employer I'm leaving tomorrow.

Seriously, worst time of the year for us is about to hit....its already started a little bit.

The hire date for my new job got pushed back so they let me stay here and train the new person in my place.....they are already considering firing her.

poo is about to hit the fan here in like a month.

My boss and co workers tell me every day how much they hate me but are happy for me at the same time but its also my fault everything is going to poo.

Can't wait to get out!

Good for you, Boo. Are you still doing sales?

Yeah, but now I will be affecting my income and earning wayyyyy more commission than I do here. Also doing everything on my own, instead of having to rely on my mgr as a team.

Basically a great opportunity for me. As bad as I feel for everyone here....its time to move on.

Lesson of the day: If you have a position where things need to be done quickly and efficiently and it involves computers, don't hire someone over 45 unless they have proven to you beyond any doubt they can use them!!

Sorry, I know its ageism....but its the truth.

so, yeah Congrats KD....fug everyone else. Its all business. They could close next week and you would be out of a job. Gotta worry about yourself before worrying about the awkwardness.

If they don't want you to work out your notice, they will let you know.

they'll get over it. if they are a good company they'll figure out how to go on without you. If they can't then they don't really need to be in business.

also congrats Boo!

I'm in a similar position. My boss is moving up the ladder in June and if they don't offer me his position I'm leaving too, so they'd lose their top 2 managers in a short time. Oh well fug em!

Sweet. I just moved from project management to sales a few months ago and I love it. $$$$

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
