Looking back, the next 3 months were the best of my life. It was like I took a leak and SWN was gone. I spent time with my family, traveled, had a few job interviews and by the time I accepted an offer, I had a salary 15% higher than what I was making at SWN. I no longer had to listen to Dill Whey spew his BS, nor did I have to pretend my unimportant work was important.
That was the hardest part about SWN. Pretending, falsely convincing myself, that unimportant work was important. Let that sink in for a minute. The next time you're sitting in a meeting listening to your manager ramble on- ask yourself what they're actually saying. They're saying nothing. They've been saying nothing since 2016. There has been no direction since 2016. The company has been at the mercy of a nothing-man since 2016. Yeah, there are a few mundane tasks to complete here and there, but difference making work doesn't exist. Eventually, you realize you only exist to make Dill Whey's fat paycheck exist for as long as possible.
