I'm in the process of "ghosting" my job (hexbear.net)

So, I've worked at my current job for around three years. I had a really good crew when I first started, and one by one, they all fell off for various reasons. My favorite coworker went and got a job at my old job (same field) and I got stuck picking up the pieces.

There are two owners. A husband and wife. They have been spending a lot of time out of state essentially on vacation and ignoring the shop. Also, my current batch of coworkers are not a good team. They're not helpful and just don't have their head in the game. I wouldn't care so much except it all falls to me to pick up the pieces when they don't pitch in.

Anyway, I took a meeting with the old place I worked at, and got a good offer. Plus, my favorite coworker from the current job works there, and I'm excited to get the dream team back together.

Why do I feel so bad about leaving? The bosses have been completely unavailable and I get no support anywhere. Hours are going down to zero and I can't afford to live.

I haven't exactly been vocal about my problems, because I've been trying to act like a leader and rally the troops

I guess I'm just looking for kind words of encouragement from internet strangers.

Oh, NewLeaf, you’ve come here and you’ve brought good and wealth, but you have also brought your bad habits as a backslider. You’ve lusted after , and you have abandoned your job — your crew that you raised. You have abandoned all because he was sick and you have sinned. So say it now — “I am a sinner.”

I am a sinner

Louder, "I am a sinner"

I AM A SINNER

I am as sinner and you have abandoned your job

I've abandoned my job

say it, say it louder

IVE ABANDONED MY JOB

IVE ABANDONED MY BOSS
