Congratulations to my nephew @keith_standel on his HS graduation!!! You did it, Keef! I’m so proud of you. You know your Dad was screaming and clapping the loudest when you moved your tassel. #lovemynephrew #upwardsandonwards https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhp0lljR3z/?utm_medium=tumblr

After 14 years of working full-time in higher ed, 20 years overall at a university including my college and graduate students years. I’m THRILLED to be "graduating" and I'm ready for a rebirth. . As an orientation director, the pressure put on me last year was intense, but I was excited by all the creativity. However, all spring leading into this summer the demands were bigger with no more staff and actually less money (thanks furlough and paused 2:1 employer retirement contributions). Between a hugely over-enrolled first-year class and the job of welcome TWO classes of students to campus for the first time during welcome week I hit my limit after 5 incredibly tough years at my current job. . So last month *while tempted to quit on the spot* I set June 4 as my must-be-out day which meant my 2-week notice deadline was May 21. Well, I beat my deadline by 2 days. I resigned from my job last AND signed an offer letter for a Learning & Development job in tech that I am SO excited about! I had a lot of wonderful supports along the way that helped me believe that I could make the jump and I did. . My current supervisor who only supervised me since March (and is leaving himself) asked me to write my career highlights and accomplishments for my departure announcement. . Let me tell you it was CATHARTIC. . Another dear colleague is leaving the field as well and at his zoom send-off he joked that it was like "being at his own funeral." He's not wrong, people only say nice things when you are gone. . My advice if you are in a toxic job: write your job "obituary." . Since no one bothered to recognize me while I was there I did it myself! It was empowering for me to write it and it's just icing on the cake that part of it's being shared on my way out. . #jobchange #toxicworkplace #upwardsandonwards #careershift #transformation #careerpivot #grief #healing #recovery #selfcare #mefirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CPV5AM2hiJV/?utm_medium=tumblr
