That would be the dream, but it hasn't panned out, and my long notice period is hampering me. I'm not going to continue slogging it out here indefinitely, and I don't need to.

I don't need any additional anxiety to discourage me from getting out of this before I just burn out and am in a worse position.

I saw a handmade sign in a floating workshop for ships, it stated "Please Resist Entropy". That has inspired me ever since. It sounds like you are resisting entropy and good for you. Wish you better times and a better job. o7

Fuck the notice lol

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 6 points 5 months ago

It's contractual, I'm going to serve my notice period.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Good luck! Everything will work out eventually.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

fair enough, and I'm sure you know what you're doing. I've always felt that I'm in a much, much stronger position saying I'm employeed but I'd prefer to work for you rather than them suspecting that I just need some job, any job ya know

anyway, hope you work it out

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks, it's the culmination of a lot of thought and a previous attempt by my manager and I to rework things to make it better but hasn't really worked out. Onwards and upwards, I'd still intend to find a job during the 3 months notice period before I'm set loose so ideally I won't lose the "tempt me away" factor before I get a new gig.

Only if he still has any fucks to give

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or bills to pay. Or mouths to feed.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 2 points 5 months ago

If they think about those, there are still fucks left to give.
