26F. I’ve been working for a small company as an accounting department manager for about 3 months. The job is something I enjoy, which is handling AP, AR, and Payroll.
The issue is that my boss is an old man, like in his mid-70s. He’s a micromanager, constantly berating me for things that can easily be fixed. Like he’ll literally scream at me and slam his hands down on his desk and threaten to fire me over something as simple as not picking up the mail early enough in the day. (I pick it up at 11 am every day, he was yelling at me about it at 10 am this morning).
It is so mentally exhausting and draining to deal with this on a daily basis. I have nightmares, can barely sleep in general and have pretty much altogether ruined my diet/exercise routine from the stress. I’m jittery all the time and have to constantly walk on eggshells while I’m at work for 9 hours a day.
I want to quit today. Like take my lunch and not come back. But I feel guilty that my coworkers that I actually like will have to pick up the slack until they find a replacement for me.
How do you get past the guilt when quitting a job? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
EDIT: I WALKED OUT AND WON’T BE BACK! FUCK ‘EM!
