Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
The responsible part of me thinks that I should hang on until mid-late July and make as much as I can, but the other part of me is like, why work the extra month, early June is fine. I think that I might ask to reduce to a four day work week starting in early June, but then that would make me even less motivated... senioritis is hard, but income is nice.

maybe there's some way to change up the work you're doing?

Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
I like the work that I'm doing, that's not really the issue. The issue is that in four months, I'm moving across the country and pretty much devoting the rest of my life, or at least a considerable chunk of it, to legal work, so I'd rather take the time to not work and go do fun stuff while I have a chance and the weather is nice. I've been in this office for almost two years now, the longest that I've ever worked anywhere, and I'm ready to get out.renc56 wrote:very truebitter_melon wrote:The responsible part of me thinks that I should hang on until mid-late July and make as much as I can, but the other part of me is like, why work the extra month, early June is fine.

It just is what it is. I've been working full time plus a side gig since pretty much the moment that I left college (at multiple jobs), and I've been living at home rent free the entire time. I have substantial savings, so I'm pretty much trying to negotiate with the schools that I'm still between to the point at which I've decided that the debt burden would be acceptable, and then I'm gonna choose an end date.renc56 wrote:I feel this on every level.

Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
Makes sense. I would weigh your options (to quit or not to quit) but at least it's good knowing that you don't have as many costs to deal with right now.bitter_melon wrote:It just is what it is.

I'm coping with hulu, learning everything about the law school, and reaching out to lawyers who went to the law school I decided on.

Well yes, it is nice knowing that if I quit, I will only lose out on future income, I will not eat into my savings all that much because my current cost of living is so low.renc56 wrote:Makes sense.

Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
hahhaa...I almost walked out a few weeks ago because I got so pissed off at a coworker but my boss was so much in my corner about it I couldn't (plus boss has been super supportive of this whole process so I don't want to leave her in a lurch). I was originally going to peace out mid-May but my parents convinced me I needed to stay a little longer than that to save money and then it was June 30th but boss is out that day so I don't want that so I'm staying long enough to help through the July beginning of month tasks (busiest time for my job) but leaving before I can be forced to help with the quarterly federal filings.MrJD2020 wrote:I'm gonna be the Oprah of this thread when it comes to giving advice about when to quit your job:

Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
I keep getting new projects to start and am receiving even less support than usual on finishing things. Like, I'm not the one who is going to be left holding the bag when I leave because I'm the one who is leaving! This is not going to go smoothly for anyone and I feel like I'm the only one who realizes it right now.

Re: Official Senioritis / Quitting Thread - Class of 2020
I've never understood why, but this has been my experience every single time that I've given notice that I was moving on to another job. It's like, suddenly they realize that I'll be gone soon so they try to get me to finish as much as I can, even though I've already started to mentally check out, and if I don't finish something someone is going to get f'd over, and that person won't be me.guybourdin wrote:I keep getting new projects to start and am receiving even less support than usual on finishing things.

And how about those projects that are due before you're going to be gone and you're generally like "yeah ok I'll do...something I guess" because that's where I'm at with some things I have to have done later this monthguybourdin wrote:I keep getting new projects to start and am receiving even less support than usual on finishing things.
