Quit my job today

[onmywayParticipant 502]

I’ve been working full-time at a University as a tech-guy all the while doing a full-time MA degree in IT on the side. It’s been hell, but I just graduated. No student loans, 5-6 years of living expenses in the bank.

My work situation has gotten worse and worse over the last 6 months, and today, when my boss handed me my new job description as a bulls~~~ student admin assistant (not related at all to my degree) with no pay increase, I told them to gtfo. I looked her straight in the face and asked the c~~~: “Did you honestly think I would accept this? You will have my resignation within the hour”.
They’re back-pedaling like crazy now, shocked out of their minds that a young guy like me has the b~~~~ to turn them down. Thank God for my “f~~~ you fund”!

I have three interviews lined up already, so I don’t think it will be too hard finding a new job.
And in the meantime I will enjoy my summer vacation chillin in solitude away from old c~~~s.

Peace out bros!

Awesome man. Let us know if we could help you in any way. Any certain jobs you want us to look out for? IT I’m assuming

MGTOW. It does things.

Thanks guys!
I’ve actually gotten two job offers from IT-consulting companies, but to be honest – I don’t want the 80-hour work week kiss ass career they offer. Personally I’m on the outlook for a low-stress decently paid IT gig. I live in Scandinavia, so I’m applying for jobs out in the middle of f~~~ing nowhere. I just want a cabin and my music gear!

Fan-f~~~ing-tastic. I suspect you will be FAR better off out of a university setting [breeding ground for feminist s~~~ storms].

Strong work. I nominate you for MGTOW of the month, is there a second??

Yep. Your an IT. Finding a new job shouldn’t be a problem. You will find the one that fits. Wish you all the best.

I resigned from my last job 21 months ago. I was working as a hospice nurse and my workload was brutal. I had a caseload up to 50% higher than the women on my team. Constantly called on to bail the females out, I couldn’t get help when I asked and when I took vacation, my patients got their visits only when there was a crisis. I moved into admissions, which was supposed to be 4 days / week. I get oriented and they then tell me that they’ve changed the position to 5 days a week. You guessed it, you do admissions all day, cover for other staff on vacation and do your charting on your own time, finishing at 10 pm each night.

I noticed that they split my previous caseload with 2 females when I moved to admissions.
After 2 weeks I told them that the job was not going to work for me and told them if they didn’t have patients for me to see then I would consider finding employment elsewhere. 2 months goes by, I’m miserable in a job for the first time in 10 years. I turn in my resignation and there is shock from the people I’ve been telling that I couldn’t stay in this position. I give 2 weeks notice. They ask me what I’m going to do and I tell them I’m going to retire.

I turn in my equipment, cell phone, badge and supplies on my last day. They call me into the supervisors Queen Star Chamber and tell me that they have fired one of the females and that I can have my caseload back. I made plans to travel for a couple of weeks and they told me to take all the time I wanted. After one week, I start getting emails asking when I was coming back, they encouraged staff to email me and basically act as fluffers.

I get back to town and the next day is the day that I would need to return to work. I already know how they operate and the level of support they offered me in the past wasn’t going to improve. I wrote an email the night before the return date, thanking them for a great opportunity, but I was going to decline.

I put my home on the market 2 months later and got an offer after 10 days. A month later, I had all my s~~~ in storage, plans for an on call mover when I found a place in South Florida. I lived in motel rooms for a month, bought a condo with cash, bought an 18 foot Hobie Tandem Island 2 seat ocean kayak with an 18 foot sail. I have almost 2 years of living expenses in savings and two 401k’s that I haven’t touched.

I’m MGTOW, I love my life, I’m more content than I’ve ever been and I live off 1650.00 a month from social security and have money left over. No debt, no mortgage, no car payment. I am truly living in paradise. It can be done and you don’t have to have boatloads of money to do it.

I hope that you all find the path that you seek. Sometimes when you go through unexpected s~~~, there is gold at the end of the tunnel.

I get why you aren’t liking the consulting gig, but I honestly wish I had done that myself when I was a younger man. You gain a ton of experience in different environments and will accelerate your career.

You also have to figure that if you’re traveling a lot, then you are expensing just about everything. Your personal expense drop to bare minimum. It will a lot harder to go that route at a later date.

I’ve know several people that either went into business for themselves after a couple years, or found I niche cushy management job about 5 years before their piers.

Ok. Then do it.

Smart planning creates opportunities such as this… excellent work!

I just talked with a guy last night in a similar situation. He works part time and has a landscaping business he’s just started in addition to his full time job. He’s nervous about leaving the full time job, but I told him to get busy on his landscaping business and turn the part time gig to full time. My exact words were don’t jump out of the plane until after you put on the parachute. He said he was just too scared to do it. I think I talked him into it, but I told him to prepare first. We’ll see if he goes for it. Congratulations on your big move. Well done!

Awesome story, Meshak! Loved reading it!

And thanks for the feedback, guys. Will keep you guys updated!

Update:
I put in my two weeks notice. My boss is freaking out, because she just realized that she will have to hire 2-3 women (or a solid IT MAN for much more cash) to fill my work-load, as I’ve been doing a lot of programming work that was not originally in my job description. I’ve documented everything and have been very professional about it all, but since nobody but me can code in my department nobody understands the documentation. At all! Hahaha!

I’m just sipping coffee and watching it all burn. All the bosses are currently in a 3-hour “urgent meeting” according to their outlook calander. #nof~~~sgiven

Luckily my team-leader has been very understanding and cool about it, so I will have a nice reference there, so no burnt bridges.

I wish you the best of luck. Long time ago YouTube took down a video of mine that said don’t put up with work if it can’t offer you at least one of three things.

A life of leisure.
A life of good money.
A life of living your passions.

If the job isn’t fulfilling, lucrative, or easy as f~~~ than what are you even doing? Just be some guy on welfare. And if you’re in some conservative state f~~~ing rob houses or something. F~~~ that… I’m not putting up with anything in life that can’t meet me halfway.
