So today at work, I resigned from my position. It was a really really hard thing to do. Mostly because I do like the people there, but I don’t like working with them. It is kind of weird what has been happening.
When I first went to work, I was thinking it would be familiar to the pleasanton one. However, I think what took me back was that it felt more corporate, and didn’t have the family warm feeling. It could have been also that I didn’t feel like I got a good initial experience. Which kind of permeated throughout the entire work time.
You might be wondering what I consider a good warm initial experience. When I first started on the job, I had given them a one month notice before I got onboard. So I was expecting they would have everything ready for me.
I come in and the first day, I do not have a labtop, no business cards, no cell phone, no key fob to get into the building, and really nothing to do my job. I was also expecting that I would have a lunch with the engineering team, and that the boss would be taking us out so I could meet everyone. However that didn’t happen, and I really got this feeling that the place was really closed off, and not what I would really like.
Anyways, what got me to quit was that I was burnt out with doing drawings. I had signed up thinking I would be doing more estimating, programming, and checkout. Instead, all that I ended up doing was drawings. Mostly because they didn’t have enough people to do drawings, so I ended up having to do it. I was also under the impression that I would not be working under Zach. So when I had my review with Zach, I was slightly taken back. So anyways, I thought long and hard, and if I took out knowing Zach and Adam, I realized that I didn’t want to stay there.
I did forget to talk about that last straw, I had gone up to my supervisor and said “I don’t want to do drawings anymore.” I was super pissed, and I guess he didn’t understand, because he ended up giving me more drawings to do. 
So I turned in my resignation letter, and the boss was pretty mad. He and the other 2 guys in charge wanted me to stay. They tried to convince me that I didn’t have to do drawings anymore. But I could not see it happening, mostly because I could only seeing them letting me program for one month, then I would go back to doing more drawings.
It was fun while it lasted, because I liked some of the people that worked with me.
One of the fun things that I did was buy this t-shirt from zoe wear. It was part of their flash friday sale. So I think Sherri will like it, even though gifts is not her love language.
