Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Call it a third life crisis, but when I got out of therapy today I got a call from my boss and pulled the trigger. It's wild how privileged I have to be to be able to do something like this.

Thank you.

It's not quite the same because I'm a "professional" quitting a job "at the top of my field" but I just can't do it anyone. I've dreaded coming into work every day for months and I'm just at a breaking point.

I was in the same place 2 months ago. The first month after I quit was healing. I eventually looked back and realized it was the company, not the career, that was toxic. I don't regret quitting, it was kinda sudden but boy I was gonna burst if I had to go back one more day. Job market seems dry AF right now, but oddly I got 4 calls today out of the blue.

Luck and healing homie
