Relief over fear

I gave my two week notice Monday morning, and I just want to share this message if it helps even one person. We all have different circumstances which I understand so this won’t be for everybody.

I feel relieved. Not scared. Not panicked. No regret.

I actually felt this huge emotional release after i hit send, like when you’ve been holding something in for way too long and finally let it go. If that sounds soft- idc.

For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was taking back control of my life instead of just reacting to it.

If you’re unhappy, burned out, or feel stuck, don’t ignore that voice forever. Fear keeps a lot of us frozen, but sometimes the scariest step is also the most freeing one.

Just wanted to put that out there for anyone who needs to hear it.

@a3 Really? If anyone is at this point I doubt bonus is an issue because WF has been finding ways to reduce and eliminate bonus for several years. My suggestion is stay the course as long as you can unless you have enough money to live on because so many unemployed flooding the job market.

This board doesn’t reflect reality for most employees. A large portion of Wells Fargo roles don’t receive bonuses, so that isn’t a factor for everyone.

Wouldn't it be too risky to give your notice before the bonus payout date? Remember the kind of company we are dealing with.

God bless you. I'm sick to my stomach every morning before work. The only thing keeping me going is I know I'm close to the end of the WF road, one way or another.
