This is my first job out of the gate. Two months in and I knew almost immediately it wasn't the right fit. I'll spare the full list, but my mind is made up — I'm leaving. I'm also leaving the industry entirely, so references and burning bridges genuinely aren't a concern for me. This is purely about the money and doing the decent thing.

The timing problem: I'm booked on a company-paid flight to a conference in two weeks. The flight is non-refundable, but the hotel, registration, and other costs probably aren't.

• Quit now: the flight money is sunk either way, but giving notice now lets them cancel the hotel/registration and reassign the trip — so they waste less overall.
• Take the trip, quit right after: they've paid the full amount on someone who was always leaving.

Since I don't care about the professional fallout, the only things I'm weighing are the money and basic decency. Quit before, or take the trip and quit after?

Does anyone else get frustrated with how booking tee times works right now?

This doesn't really apply if you play the same course at the same time every week, it's more for those of us who jump around and aren't afraid to take a GolfNow deal.

I know there's not much that can be done about it, but I'll grab a deal thinking I'm going to play alone, then end up paired with another group, and then get stuck behind a league that just teed off. You don't find any of this out until you're already standing there.

I just wish courses gave more visibility into what to expect when you book a tee time. Anyone else feel like this or have any tips on how to avoid this?
