my new salary is 2% less than my old salary. I don’t see your point.

career advancement was impossible under my old circumstances

it’s quite clear to me that me prioritizing my personal life over work made them insecure about themselves. Not listening to their forced, unasked and unwanted advice made them insecure about themselves. Working in a way that made sense to myself made them insecure about themselves.

When someone defies another person’s personal truth or reality, that has the potential to cause the other person to feel insecure about themselves.

With those people, I end up giving them short and vague responses until they leave me alone. They don’t deserve anything more.

holy shit, leaving was the correct decision. I always felt I didn’t fit in because they expected me to be one of them, always subordinate to them, a useful idiot who would only work as they wanted.

I’m also glad I left. godspeed!

what an interesting point of view. I like it.

Some people care more about money and titles than personal well being.

correct, ironically this applies to this community as well.

should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?
