My employer ran me into-the-ground, and my wife forced me to type of my resignation letter on April 1st. I hadn't had a calendar day -- not weekday -- but calendar day off, all of 2021. I had all vacations canceled since holiday 2019, sans one where I had a legal responsibility I could not shrug (and even then they barked) in early 2020.

I finally resigned after being up almost 4 days straight, on Wednesday, April 21st (actually gave my boss a heads up the night before), with an end date of Friday, May 21st.

I found another job, more pay too. I have had a half-dozen other offers with the same or more pay. It seems the stimulus and other factors are making this a workers market. But I think we've really un-balanced the market at the same time. The level of abuse by some employers, due to so many people not bothering to work, is part of the problem.

H1B Visa abuse also became rampant, as well as organized crime spiked to $2T last year. That's bigger than most western government GDPs!

That wasn't the point. I'm just saying a lot of people are in that boat.

And no, I didn't take the position with the biggest raise either. In fact, anything but having to be at my computer 20 hours/day was a 'raise.' I took the job with the best work-life balance, even if I was another 90 minutes farther away from my wife.

People have options. Unfortunately I think the state over-upset the market.

In my case, my former employer took it way too far. They know it. Some admitted it. It's one of those things I just left and that's that. There are also good people there now dealing with my absence. I feel for them as well.
 
I’m sure it wasn’t hard to find your replacement. You tended to oversalt the french fries as it were…

Don't confuse me with an USF grad!

I was their manager, and told them to over-salt the French Fries because ... hey, they're USF grads. They cannot measure.

I was limited by who I work with, hence why I left.

Good for you. Glad it worked out. A worker's market is a feature, not a bug of our new administration.
