Oh dear. So, I have decided to turn in my resignation for the job that I hate on Thursday. I just found out that another employee is resigning today. We are a five-person company. Oh, dear.
It's not your problem, but I understand feeling loyal, even to a job you hate.
With any luck, the fact that 2/5 of their staff is leaving (at the worst time ever to leave a job) will make them realize they are doing something wrong and will fix it.
Yeah, I don't feel guilty, or like it's my problem really (well, I had a brief flash of that, but I got over it), but it's gonna make the last two weeks here SUCK.
You could just leave without giving them the two weeks since it's not your chosen profession anyhow. You can tell them I told you to do it. And that I don't feel in any way bad or sad about it.
I need to expand my counseling hours, so that I can eventually (years from now... sigh...) get my therapist license. So I've applied to a couple community counseling center - type internship gigs, which I'm hoping I'll hear about this week.
But whatever I do, it'll be counseling-related. Marketing for marketing's sake (as opposed to promoting my own work) is done. Woo!
Making Marketing people suffer is a good thing. It builds character, which they need desperately, and may make them rethink their chosen career. So you're doing them a favor.
