Sorry I haven't been around much!!! (Especially after everyone has always been so supportive of me.) Being on the other side of leaving me job, I don't have any regrets at all!!!

I talked to my old VP on Friday. They still don't have a replacement for me. They had a computer person up there for 4 hours the other day because I wasn't there to easily fix the problem. One of my biggest pet peeves when I was there was them dumping this pile of credit card receipts on my desk at the end of the day like it was trash for me to sort through. There would be some missing, or some that had no matching invoice in the system, or amounts didn't match, etc. some days ur would take an hour just to get to the bottom of the missing/incorrect ones so I could close out the day. Whenever I asked the owner to do something about keeping those straight, he would always claim they were too busy and acted as if this was so big deal since it was only wasting my time, stressing me out, and causing me extra work and extra hours there. Now that he's having to do these himself, they are all required to keep them clipped together and in transaction number order so that he can batch them into a deposit in under 10 minutes.

I tell you this as an example of what I knew would happen. It didn't matter how many times I tried to get things changed while I was there, they don't care until they have to deal with it themselves. They won't realize what they had in you until you're gone. As long as you are there and doing the work of two people, they will keep taking you for granted and giving you the work of two people.

You're too smart and too valuable to waste your talents on people who take advantage and do not appreciate you. And I don't know that I'd ask for an exit interview. (Those convinced against their will, are of the same opinion still.) I'm actually glad I just left without ever having told the owner anything about my reasons for leaving. And it's amazing how little I care now. I just released it and let it go. It was only hurting me to stress about it and it would have made no impact on them. 😘
