MF_James posted:Long ago in an office far far away, when I actually enjoyed my job and had just been brought into a new position as a junior admin, I worked out of our clients office, 3 floors a few hundred people, nothing too crazy. There were decent facilities on each floor that you could actually use at pretty much any time. Well, today the one on the floor I worked on was full, so I decided to go up a floor instead of down (downstairs was usually empty so pretty private) so I could chat with a few people after finishing my business. I go into the bathroom, saddle up to a urinal and start doing my business. Another guy walks in, lines up with the urinal next to me, I hear him undo his belt and then the belt buckle hits the tile. Yeah, dude just drops it all to the floor and does his business; I never again dared go up to the 3rd floor, there be monsters. He Donald Duck'd you.

Anyone out there resign from a job before having the next one lined up? How'd it work out for you? I know its against the Golden Rule but I'm leaning towards doing it. I need to move across country and get closer to family for reasons, and it's timing up with my lease expiring in January. I've put a few applications out but haven't heard anything yet. I figure I'm going to bounce either way. I'm probably just trying to rationalize it to myself but I should be OK. I'm an RN working in informatics so I figure worst case I can always go back to bedside care if IT jobs dry up. Florida winters beat the hell out of Colorado's, and a few weeks on the beach might do me good.

Thanks for the input. I should have mentioned I'm originally from the South, came up to Colorado from Florida a few years ago. I agree Colorado is awesome but I miss the slower pace and affordability of the south. I'm single with no debt and decent cushion for savings, and family to stay with in FL while I job hunt. I'll probably keep pumping out applications up till the move point and see if anything lands. A few jobs in Memphins, TN caught my eye. A little research tells me that Memphis might not be AS terrible as I initially thought it to be.

I've romanticized hiking the AT but after climbing a few 14ers out here I realized that I don't particularly enjoy walking for hours at a time.

We're pretty large in Florida and we always seem to have clinical informatics positions open at hospitals. In fact, at the hospital I work at, we just had one of our clinical informatics people leave so I'm sure we have an open position. Our Corporate IT offices are also always hiring informatic type people as well. I'm looking in the panhandle and maybe near Jacksonville. I'm sure my preferences will loosen as the clock ticks.

I mentioned my contemplation a few weeks back but today I  .The boss understood me wanting to move closer to family, no issues there. They might be open to allowing me to work remote for a few weeks/months while they post my position and get someone hired, have to wait and see what the Director says. No job lined up yet but I have a couple of phone interviews scheduled for next week. Worst case scenario is I chill on the beach through the end of December then start hitting it heavy come January 2nd. It'll be a big benefit to be able to interview in person instead of video/phone.

Our CIO recently sent out an email about new Company jackets for IT, for the low cost of $60. There isn't even a great logo, or witty saying embroidered on it. Which got me thinking of good IT tag lines for clothing apparel... "Can't reproduce issue. Closing ticket."

I received an offer for a new position on Friday, close to family. Now I'm just wrapping up projects and killing time until I can get out of Colorado next week. *Side note: I'll be moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, so I'm gonna have to get temp housing for 2 weeks while I look for apartments etc... I haven't been paying attention but it seems like cities have wised up to AirBnB and are taxing the poo poo out of them now. $450 in taxes and fees for a 14 night stay.

So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. On a side note: thanks everyone for the thoughts/advice on handling onboarding at the new job. People have returned back from vacation and things are slowly starting to pick up. There is still no structure to the onboarding/orientation but I have a laptop and access now, so I can keep myself busy.

Didn't hear a peep. Not so much as a "go gently caress yourself". It's weird here. Previous teams I've been on, when we got a new team member, we did everything we could to make them feel included and valued.

Seriously. Even if its just a hand-wand. Just heard back from $prospectiveJob. Made a counter-offer, waiting to hear back but I think I'm going to take it either way. I am going to try and push the start date out as far as possible, to give time to see which way the wind is going to blow. Need to figure out what to do with $currentJob, which I greatly dislike. I'm still on orientation here, and no real projects or responsibilities. In the few months I've been here, several people have been walked out and people are fearing for their jobs. In that light, a part of me is wondering just how big of a notice I should give... AreWeDrunkYet posted:Careful, if companies start laying off people being the new guy can make you an easy target. True. Thankfully this is at a hospital that I've worked at before, just another team. I have lots of contacts so worst case scenario I think I could hop somewhere else in the organization. Worst worst case scenario, I go back to caring for patients at the bedside (hopefully things don't get that dire). *For those who have never used a bidet, you're missing out on one of life's great luxuries.

My current job is such that if I never saw these people again, I'd be just fine. I had a great team at my last job which makes all the difference. There wasn't a sour apple, everyone enjoyed working with each other for the most part, hit up happy hour together etc... Helped that we could WFH 2 days a week so we limited our time together.

My current job is crappy enough, and the pay raise is significant enough that I'm willing to roll the dice. I'm relatively young and single. If I had a family to feed than things might be different.

Well, I got the job offer. Midway across the country from family, 40% pay raise and 60% WFH (100% currently). About the same amount of job security as my current gig. I was pretty confident about taking the job but this rapidly accelerating cluster has me second guessing.

I'm starting to get the feeling that the great new job offer, which I've accepted, is going to get rescinded due to all this craziness. Only good thing is that I was slow playing my current job and haven't yet put my notice. Bad thing is that my current job and team is the worst, and it looks like I'll be here for the foreseeable future.
