Resignation

[crowdog66]

I just phoned Ipsos-Reid and resigned.

The person I spoke with, who has been my contact ever since I went on sick leave, was very friendly and cooperative and understanding. I'll get $18 and change in vacation pay, and although they don't usually give letters of recommendation, she's going to speak with someone higher on the HR chain who might be able to arrange one for me.

Finally walking away after holding onto the possibility of the job for so long is both a relief and damning. I feel like I've failed even though I know that it was the best thing for me to do at this point in time. In fact, my contact even invited me to apply again at Ipsos-Reid in the future if I'm able to do the work, although I'm sure that it's an offer they make to everyone who resigns.

How very tired I feel.

You had to do what you had to do - and you did it in a way that didn't burn any bridges.

Thanks. And you're right -- I was very careful to do it in a civil and open manner.

I'm sure this will hurt less in a couple of days.

No, they don't make that offer to everyone, believe me.

I know it's both relieving and disappointing at the same time, but don't let it get you down. *HUGE HUGS*

*snuggles* You did all you could, and it seems to me that they realise that.

:: Hugs:: It was a tough decision, but you did the right thing and you left them on probably the most positive note any employee of any company could do. I'm proud of you for it.
