turned in my notice in friday.. 6/1 is my last day. taking 3 days of vacation this week and monday's a holiday moving on to bigger and better things, namely a GREATLY reduced travel schedule. instead of 2-3 weeks each month, i'll likely be traveling only 1 week (or less) every 3-4 months. my kids deserve it and so does my sanity. we were in the middle of a move to Northern Virginia when all of this hit, and this new job is in the same location. i love my job, but it's still a job, and i had plenty of gripes. i'm sure i'll have some gripes at the new place, but this move certainly takes care of a few of the larger ones. if you're in NoVA look me up! we're settling down in Hamilton, VA.
Wow, I'm turning in my notice tomorrow after 28 years for some of the same reasons. I'm actually taking a bit of a pay cut but will enjoy what I'll be doing and who I'll be working for and with.
A year and a half ago I went to my boss and told him I needed a change, stress and long hours were killIng me. So I took a demotion that was a pretty big pay cut, but I was home with the family more. Then six month later he offered me a promotion to a different job that pays more than where I was to begin with. And I’m still home with the family more. Se things are just more important.
Congrats man...I can relate all too well to your situation....The best opportunities often find you! All the best to you and your family!!
done.. the market is INSANE up there all the time, and Amazon is going to make it even moreso. good for me, as i found the perfect spot. 3 acres, close to the action but still rural, and 15min to everything you could ever want. we're very happy and got a decent deal considering the market. we did have an offer on the PERFECT house, but someone came in with a cash offer and took it from us. we were bummed for about 5 minutes, picked up, and nailed down the house we bought. closed a couple of weeks ago and the previous owners are paying us rent until this friday. movers come 6/7, we drive up on the 10th, and our stuff should show up on the 12th or 13th. ready for a new adventure!!
