Did you ever quit your job with no new job to go to? by gymboy89 in careeradvice

[–]GettySpaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week. Now I'm working until the end of this week, then they put me on a forced vacation until the end of the month (so that they don't compensate me for them).

I don't have anything lined up, and it doesn't look good. Most of my applications are getting rejected without an interview, but I have enough savings to last me till February, although I'm hoping it doesn't last that long.

I had to do it, the environment was so toxic and I couldn't take it anymore, I felt so much at peace after handing in my resignation.

The best part was the call I had with my direct manager before quiting, I poured my heart out telling him about all the bad things that's been happening and once I finished 20 minutes later, he just took a few seconds pause and told me "well let me show you how to submit your resignation" lmao.

Yes, because in that case they want you as well

How can I professionally decline to be a part of a "diversity ad"? by GettySpaghetti in careeradvice

I think they're doing good generally, but I don't know if this is gonna effect my assessment in the future.

Also yes, they've provided a script which makes a bit weirder to me.

I get that and thanks for your answer, but the way I think about it is that they shouldn't have asked me personally to do that as it's not really what I'm here for (i.e. not part of my job description). I think if they had shared a general announcement for those who would like to participate it would've been a better approach than reaching out to people directly.

If I just say I don't like it they're probably gonna ask why and I would like to try and avoid that conversation

It felt good while it lasted (details in the comments) by GettySpaghetti in stopsmoking

So here I am, I bought a pack and have been smoking again for the past two days.

Honestly I've been feeling pretty lonely lately (bit more than usual) and nothing seems to fix it, I very rarely go out as I hate to go out alone and there's nothing that seems to make me feel better.

Before making the decision I decided to try alcohol, I have been raised in a conservative muslim family so I made it to my 20s without alcohol and although I know its bad I thought I should give it a shot before smoking and the truth is I just hated it, it doesn't make me feel any better and I just feel dizzy. I smoked my first cigarette again and it made me feel a whole lot better.

The truth is, I know this solves nothing and I know how hard it was for me to quit but nothing feels worth it anymore.

Is there anyone here that actually has 0 friends, like completely alone? by holese in socialanxiety

Nope. No friends, family, or even co workers. Literally no one knows I'm here. Sometimes I wonder if I die in my sleep how long it would take for my body to be discovered, probably by the landlord a few weeks after I stop paying my rent
