Little Rant: Why I Quit My Job

So, I quit my job after my boss refused to approve my leave for a trip I had planned months ago. I had asked for it well in advance, but they decided my trip wasn’t as important as a colleague’s leave. When they denied me, they tried to get me to shift my leave dates, but that wasn’t possible for me.

I wasn’t about to let them manipulate me into staying, so 40 minutes after hearing their decision, I sent in my resignation. Maybe they thought they could pull some kind of power move, but honestly, they underestimated me. Now, they’re going to be short-staffed during the exact time they wouldn’t let me go.

I didn’t want to resign, but I wasn’t going to stay in a situation like that. Feels like a win. Also, not stressing about losing a job feels kind of good.
