So I handed in my resignation letter a month ago, and I'm serving out my final week's notice. I am happier than I had been in months, and this was noticeably evident to my soon-to-be ex-colleagues.
What happened? I believe that the adage "people leave their managers, not their companies" is true - I threw in the towel because I needed a break from my manager. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, here's some enlightenment from this article - "Why Your Employees Are Leaving".
With that move, I've regained my smile, my stress has evaporated, and I'm looking forward to being free from the corporate jungle.
I'm not sure what lies ahead, but I'm sure that a couple of months off to recharge, rejuvenate, and recalibrate will do wonders.
Lots of 'me' time to really think about next steps, plan them out, and then execute. Meanwhile, I'll get back to running, playing football (or soccer), lots of stuff to read, play music, and spend loads more time with the family.
Wish me luck!
