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!

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
