thesadness | 11 years ago | on: How do I go about quitting my contracting software job (telling two bosses)?

Quit, with no two week notice, but offered to transfer all my stuff before leaving. Did it in the middle of the day and it broke the contract I had signed with them. After I came back from lunch they took my laptop, made me sign some secondary contract with HR, then had two guys escort me from the property. It was kind of brutal. I suggest doing it closer to the end of the day or even have everything ready for just leaving afterwards.

It's actually pretty fine if its before the end of the three month period. At another job the contracting company just gave the other companies money back.

I feel ya. I lost my job, got cheated on in both my long term relationship in which we had moved in together for, and so I also lost my place and my furniture and had to move back in with my dad... twice now... starting every thing over from scratch sucks dude. You feel super shitty and bad about yourself and then you end up taking shitty stressful jobs out of depression. I turned 27 this year and I was sleeping in my old bunk bed for months and months. I'm just thankful I have my dad and I actually asked him for help. I have a few workplace friends at my new job, none close or anything, its just nice to talk to them about things unrelated to how depressing life is. That and not moving in together with an SO when you're in your 20s is the only life advice I got. People always give me the global perspective bs: "At least you weren't born in Syria right now..." or what have you... but that doesn't help much, eh?
