#not to mention the health shit like my wife getting covid and stranding us at my sister’s house across the country

#I held out as long as I could but I finally had to resign today #my boss is just too nice to lay me off even though my work produces almost no business value 😭 #like they just did a reorg of the teams that means QA will be stretched too thin over devs #and he’s not allowed to hire any more manual testers #this is not the same situation I was hired into! #I’m a ‘nice to have’ type of employee and they managed without my role for a while #I COULD have made myself indispensable in the last year but I couldn’t be bothered #I was busy writing fanfic and having a baby #not to mention the health shit like my wife getting covid and stranding us at my sister’s house across the country #or my older kid being hospitalized twice for respiratory failure! #so I just did the bare minimum IF THAT #and now a year later it’s all THE YEAR OF EFFICIENCY and all that bullshit #just like the rest of tech right now. bunch of dumbass capitalist copycats… #if my manager weren’t such a good dude he’d have offered my role in exchange for the manual testing hire(s) he CLEARLY needs #I really hope that my resignation helps him either get the new hire he wants or protect the rest of the department from layoffs!!! #I’m so glad I finally got it over with 😭 #I start my new job in May so I’ll have a couple weeks to chill!!!
