Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Today marks the start of my first week of unemployment after quitting. My boss and I were into each other, but he refused to pursue anything with me while I worked there because it would’ve been unethical. So I quit.

Worth it.

I wanted to stay in the team. They are a cool gang. So I left that consulting group when they couldn't renew the assignment.

They went bankrupt. Was a nice place, but just not profitable where it was.

My last job that i quit was at the same company that trained me in my apprentenceship. It was a toxic enviorment and looking back i got burned out so heavily due to the stress. Also they wanted to pay me almost minimum wage for a Software developer position. They also put me into Quality Assurance and i wanted to develope software. And yes it was worth it. Despite me now having switched 3 companys in 5 years (one was a timed contract that wasnt extended and the current one fired me due to finance), i am still so glad i did

I moved closer to the city in hopes to get a programming job. Didnt have an effect.

Im most likely going to have to quit my current job after a repetitive strain injury. Thats if Im capable of working another job (lumbar strain).

My boss thought he was Harvey Specter from Suits. He even had a poster of Harvey Specter in his home office.
