I don't give a shit.

Today, I've decided to resign in my job...

I tried to talk to my co workers who are not talking to me but no response. I tried to give them freebies I have so that our tension will lessen but today, no changes. Still, Im ignored and not talked to.

Though I have bills to pay, I decided to resign.. luckily my friend offered me a job. All I have to do is to apply and take necessary steps in my application process.

Is my decision good enough?

I still have until december to fulfill my resignation bec. It says at least 30 days..

Hi,

Can you elaborate on what is happening at work? What do you do and why are there seemingly mean people in that industry?

I had a quick look at your previous posts but I want to see what your thinking is now.

It's difficult to say to be honest. It depends why there is tension between you and your colleagues. You spend about half your waking hours at work and unless you work alone, which you clearly don't, you have to be able to get along with different kinds of people. You don't have to be friends with all of them, or even particularly like them, but you have to be able to work as a team. It's not personal, you just have to put your professional head on for work and do what your employer pays you to do to the best of your ability.

It's difficult to say whether leaving is the right decision because all you've told us is that your colleagues are not speaking to you. I don't know why that is but I do know that most people don't appreciate being 'bought' so whatever the issue is, if you want to resolve it, the only way you can really do that properly is by communicating with them honestly and listening to what they have to say with an open mind, however difficult that is for you.

There are a few factors to consider, do you like your job or do you think you would prefer the new one? Is there much difference in pay, will it impact your quality of life if you get paid a different amount? Are you more suited (skills, qualifications, personality type) to your current job or the new one? If I was in your situation my main concern would be the possibility that you could put a strain on your friendship. If your friend is your boss it changes the whole dynamic of your relationship. History has a habit of repeating itself and if you're having difficulties getting on with your team now, it could happen again, even if it's not your fault. If you can figure out what caused the tensions at work and address the root cause then it could be a fresh start for you. If not you could end up stuck in the same rut in any future jobs.

I hope things work out the way you want them to, I wish you all the best.

If you decide to go , you will just have to make it 30 days.But can they let you go early if you hand in your resignation? Also is there a human relations department you could file a complaint or have some kind of mediation .Are you a newby...would a little time for them to to get to know you change their attitude toward you? Sometimes you have to earn their respect and not just by giving them things ...confront them by being assertive not aggressive. When I decided to retire, I made a list of positive and negative things about retiring. I had to work a full year with a toxic person who was my supervisor,before I could retire.I was too scared to be assertive and confront her with how I was feeling. . It took it's toll on my health.I could barely sleep and started having digestive issues .Also, not to sound negative but sometimes when you Quit...you trade one evil for another...you may not have to deal with these people any more but there will be some kind of new challenge. I made it but I'm having a lot of troubles forgiving her.Shes still getting to me and I'm not even working there any more.All i know now is I need to forgive her in my heart to release the negative feelings that are eating me up.I will never forget how I felt working there though.I know I made the right move to retire but like I said it did not solve all of my challenges.Best wishes.
