I just quit my job!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I just did that! I have been laid off since January and was offered re-employment a couple of weeks ago. I had 10 days to decide if I wanted to return but asked for additional time due to a death in our family. I changed my mind 4 times in the last week but learning that a friend of mine lost her dad yesterday made me realize what I had to do. The work environment was very toxic, for several reasons, and hearing about my friend's dad made me realize life is just too short. I don't want to spend all day in a place I hate when I could spend that time with my DS and family instead.
Since I will now be losing my unemployment, we will have to start pinching our pennies, but we will be alright. I am kind of scared that maybe I made the wrong decision and also sad that I will not be working with some great people anymore. But then I remember the not so great people and all the other crap I had to deal with and I can't help but be happy that I never have to deal with that again!
And I was very lucky to have such a supportive DH and family members that reminded me of what truely is important in life. So for now I am just going to enjoy the time I have with DS and maybe look for something part time down the road. Wow, I didn't mean for this to get so long but I just had to share with someone!

Re: I just quit my job!
Story of my life! i was also laid off when I was pregnant then offered re-employment later after LO was born. I accepted then ended up resigning a week later. It just isn't where my heart is anymore and I, too, also think life is too short so I am just enjoying my time with my family instead.
Congrats on making the decision. I know how scary that can feel. When I resigned just days after starting, I ended up crying in front of my new supervisor about how scared I was of the jump I was making! I think it's normal that you feel that way but things will work out, you'll see. Have fun!
