I work at a tiny school and when I quit over a week ago, my VP and Dean told me I was unprofessional and that I’d be forcing my colleague to take over my job. I rescinded my verbal resignation and this past week, not one administrator has looked me in the eye, talked to me directly, or in any way acknowledged my threat of departure. It’s made me feel so worthless - they couldn’t even check in to see if I was okay or if something was wrong. I know it isn’t their job to take care of me and that they’re busy, but I just don’t think they care.

I don’t want to be here anymore and have a great position lined up with incredible leadership that I can’t wait to work for. I feel so guilty for creating more work for my colleagues and am so ashamed that I rescinded my resignation the first time. I just want this to be over with.

Please wish me luck and tell me that my kids and colleagues will be okay. I just want this to be over with. I just want it all to be okay.
