PracticalPack3431's journey

I had a tough experience today when I submitted my resignation as a Marketing Coordinator at my current company. During my meeting with the VP and my Director, the VP immediately expressed that I was leaving at a really bad time and was essentially screwing the team over. She even asked me to push back my start date at my new job, which I firmly declined since I signed my contract and my start date is set for the 18th. I felt that giving them 13 days' notice was more than enough, especially since I could have left with zero notice if I wanted to. The conversation felt really awkward. While she did compliment my work, it was sandwiched between her claims that I was unprofessional for discussing my departure with coworkers before formally notifying them. I acknowledged that maybe I shouldn’t have been gossiping about my Director, but honestly, the management has been problematic, and I’m not the only one who feels that way—six people have left the team in the past ten months. I didn’t expect to feel so judged during this meeting. I’ve been feeling down about potentially letting my team down, but I also recognize that I’m making the right decision for my career. It’s just frustrating to be met with such negativity when I’m trying to move on.
