Six Months After My Heart Stopped, I’m Finally Letting Go

Six months ago, I was basically dead—well, dead adjacent. Today, at 59 1/2, I’m alive, retired, and, honestly, still terrible at dealing with work drama. After my birthday heart attack, I realized I could either fight for my health or keep fighting with coworkers. I chose my heart. Rehab, therapy, and a lot of awkward gym selfies later, I’m stronger, but still haunted by the ghosts of office politics. Now, as I finally cut the cord with my job, I’m struggling with letting go of those endless emails and the feeling that I never quite fit in. How do you move on when you were never good at the game to begin with? Any advice for a newly retired, socially awkward survivor? I’m all ears. 🫀💬 #retirement #careerchange #workplaceadvice #JobCareer

Celebrating Two Years Since My Career Pivot

Two years ago, I made a bold decision to switch industries and take on a new role that challenged everything I thought I knew about my career path. As a 31-year-old woman, the transition was both exciting and intimidating, but looking back, it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. The journey hasn’t always been smooth—there were moments of doubt and plenty of learning curves. But with each challenge, I discovered new strengths and built confidence in my abilities. This anniversary isn’t just about marking time; it’s about celebrating resilience, adaptability, and the courage to pursue growth. Have you recently marked a milestone in your career?

Taking the Leap: Leaving My Job Without a Backup Plan

Last week, I made the bold decision to quit my job, even though I don’t have another position lined up. As a 29-year-old woman, this choice was both terrifying and liberating. For months, I felt stuck and uninspired, dreading each workday and questioning if this was really what I wanted for my future. After a lot of soul-searching, I realized that staying just for the sake of security was holding me back from real growth. I’m nervous about what comes next, but I’m also excited to rediscover my passions and explore new opportunities. Sometimes, you have to let go of the familiar to make space for something better.

Taking the Leap: Leaving My Job Without a Backup Plan

To be honest or not in my exit interview?​

Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’ve been at my current job for 7 years, and in October, I took what seemed like a perfect new role. But things took a turn. Two months in, my original boss got promoted to the executive level, and I was assigned an interim boss while they searched for a new VP. That new VP started in late February, and let’s just say, he’s not a great fit. He’s harsh, berates the team constantly, and refuses to offer guidance. I’ve had breakdowns because of how he treats me, and it’s clear I’m not the only one feeling this way. I’ve found a new job that’s a promotion, and I plan to give my notice. They do exit interviews, and I’m torn about being honest. Should I tell them that the toxic boss and the last-minute change in leadership are why I’m leaving? Or should I just keep quiet? #ExitInterview #ToxicBoss #CareerChange #HonestyAtWork #WorkplaceDrama #JobCareer

If Your Job is Making You Miserable, Get Out ASAP. 🚪💥

If you're stuck in a job that's draining you, just leave. I spent six months in a toxic healthcare job, hoping things would get better or that I'd get used to it. But every day, it got harder to go to work. Every day, it took all I had to not drive the other way. Even when I wasn’t at work, I was miserable thinking about my next shift. 😞 It sucked knowing that my passion had turned into something that made me so unhappy. If this sounds familiar, trust me — there’s a way out. I took the plunge and found a job in traveling healthcare, and I’m SO much happier. The dread is gone, replaced by excitement. ✨ If you’re stuck, start looking for another job now. It’s not like this everywhere. You deserve better. 💪 Have you been in a similar situation? How did you take that first step to make a change? 💬👇 #CareerChange #ToxicWorkplace #MentalHealthMatters #JobSatisfaction #DoWhatYouLove #EmployeeWellness #JobCareer
