Quitting time - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Quitting time - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog I got an email from Red in the Philippines, who took a major step towards happiness at work last week: Red writes: I have been your follower and i really admire your writing style. In fact, I have adapted your style in my report writing. I just talked with my boss this morning (after reading your article on fear about being fired now what vs. so what) and told him that I have reached my quitting point and I am resigning effective March 31, 2010. You know what, I felt a sense of relief deep inside and it was really great. Though I dont have a job lined up, I believe that it is worth resigning from this suckie job. It has sucked my life out of me. I do not want corporate world anymore after March 31. I am pushing through with my passion: weight training, teaching wellness in High School, and blogging. Thats fantastic and this is what more people need to do: Leave jobs that are slowly sucking the life out of them instead of making excuses for why quitting is impossible right now. Ive talked to many people who have quit bad jobs and almost all say it was the right thing to do and I only wish Id done it sooner. On the other hand, Ive never heard a single solitary person say I quit a bad job last year I only wish Id waited 6 more months to do it. Of course, the current state of the economy makes this choice more difficult. But no less necessary. Related posts Top 10 bad excuses for staying in a crappy job. How to know its time to quit.
