Why I Left My Job in 2022

Work is great. No really it is.  I am grateful for the experiences and relationships I have made through my previous job.  Most employment, especially in a social related field can be very exhausting. Burnout happens very quickly and if you don't have supportive management, it's even worse.  In this episode I discuss why I left my previous employment and discuss some of the details which is personal to me. Sorry this is probably more of a downer episode.  I discuss more of my depression, bits of my thought process and what led me to decide to leave.  Here is a short spoiler, it took 3 months for me to finally decide to submit my resignation.  My hope for this episode, although basically me ranting, is to provide some insight and confidence that it is ok to quit and move on. There is never a good time and when it's a toxic environment we only get to control when we hand in our resignation. What helped me get through this before, was learning that others had experienced a toxic workplace also.  There are books and resources available and have many testimonials. It helps build the feeling that you're not crazy.  Good toxic leadership are masters of "push and pull" or "gaslighting" tactics.  And they appear like kind people, probably too kind.   I have started to paint again (cliche i know) and that for me is exciting as well as doing projects I enjoy. I have embraced a freelancer lifestyle at the moment. If you would like to have a logo or other design work made, please find me on fiverr or message me for details.
