Yesterday, I suddenly just got let go from my job of 5 years.
It wasn't a bad break, and I'm actually kind of happy. I've been thinking about leaving for a long while, but things like marriage, boss being on maternity leave, car troubles have been keeping me back from actually taking the step.
Honestly, they've been holding me back in my field since it's such a small company, and one of my bosses is crazy. (like legitimately, psych ward, meds, therapy, etc.)
She would constantly shame me from thinking about leaving before. Thankfully my other boss is more level headed about this whole thing.
It's such a huge burden off my shoulders, and I know I can become a better than either of them if I find the right job, but I still spent 5 years of my life with them, full time. It feels surreal.
In the morning I'm going to start putting my portfolio together and start searching for a new job.
