Quit my job

[rsaffle]

Personal note, I just quit my job of 35 years. Left a very large company for a very small one. Pretty freaked out and stomach is doing flips. Worked hard for what I've got but i'm stepping out in faith and into a new adventure.
Wanted to share with my Bat friends. Oh no, stomach is turning again gotta go

Keep that in mind as You start Your new job. 2ndly: DON'T LOOK BACK...EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will find in a relatively short time that You'll be happier than You were before.

Peace and happiness in Your new job!

Congrats Randy and I wish you the best! I’m hoping my next big job is retired Papa. Still a few years away.

I worked for a small company 25 years ago and it was a lot of fun. I went in every day not knowing what was waiting for me other than a challenge. At the end of most days I had a sense that I did something useful. I helped customers who appreciated what I did for them. Or, I helped customers who still wanted to punch me in the nose, but I helped them! Or I did something that made a difference to the company and my coworkers. Then we got bought by a big company. And it was only another year or so that the big company got bought by an even bigger company. Soon I felt like I was Drone #83172 doing my one little thing that barely seemed to make a difference. The pay was much better as part of the big company, but the job satisfaction had been boxed up and shipped out a long time ago.

Good luck and enjoy!

It doesn't sound to me like you quit your job; it sounds like you started a new one! Congratulations!

Change can be scary, but it can also bring growth. All of us cave-dwellers know you're a really talented, creative guy. Your new outfit is lucky to have you. All the best in this new adventure.

Best of luck with the new venture Randy! You’re a talented, dedicated and very kind individual, the new gig/project is lucky to have you.

I agree-- not an ending - a beginning! I've made the jump myself a few times and even though it was occasionally nerve-wracking, it always was for the better. You'll be great!

Good luck Randy... It's a big step and it might seem frightening at times, but if you feel good about your decision you know it was the right one

15 years ago, I left my management job with benefits, insurance and a decent paycheck. I went into freelance. I took about a 60% income cut but got 100% of my life back. No regrets.

Best of luck. You're a doer, a troubleshooter and a problem solver. So I'm sure you're going to do well.
