I'm Free BABY!
The day you leave your job, a part of you is excited to start a new chapter, a part of you is afraid that the next job or endeavor will be worse than the current situation, and a part of you is hoping that you are indispensable and somehow your manager will see how valuable you are with the company that you have worked for 1/3 of your day, every day for the past several years and ask you to stay.
In a way, a job is like a partner; it can be a bad lover, a great spouse or an annoying tax collector. Whatever the case, most of the time you go back to it. Being “married” to your job is not an understatement. You have a life outside of it, but it, whether you enjoy it or not, very much brings a structure to your life, socially and professionally. You work the hours, you come home, sleep, wake up and do it again. Until the weekend. Maybe. And you crave the acknowledgment and acceptance that comes with your status, position, seniority peers and bosses. Even if stressing out is part of the deal, we often tell ourselves it is a ”good” stress that makes you feel important and productive.
A close friend has just informed me that she has left her job. In this recession; in a time where every creature with a mouth, big or little, is hoping to find a stable feeder, she is leaving her job. Three people are taking over her portion until they get a replacement. But she made the leap so she can start a new chapter and perhaps her own business.
She told me in corporate, it seems that all the money is going into other people’s pockets except your own and that she hopes to never work for corporate again. For the first time this weekend, she slept a nineteen-hour weekend.

I recently left my job and guess what? The week after–I start getting calls on how to do this and how to do that? Am I obligated to do any of that? I’m no longer on the payroll and have helped out but when do I draw that line when enough is enough where you have multiple texts and missed calls? And when I finally say, “Am I obligated to do so?” They pull the…aren’t you Christian card?
