mcjeff215 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I've probably gained a reputation for starting "my job sucks" threads. I quit today!! Ironically, this is the 7th anniversary of my start date! I AM FREE!!!!!! On to the new employer.... and hopefully my own business. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to work for another "man" now to cover the bills while I get started. I actually offered my services on a contractual basis to my current shop, you know, don't burn bridges... build them. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into avenues that offer ways to contract out your services... eventually you'll be able to start your own business with any luck. Can you grab some clients away from your old company?

IDBillzFan Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Did the same thing a year ago, and in the words of Kramer "I'm living the dream, Jerry." Congratulations. Life on your own terms has more meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a hurry, taking my sweet time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
