None in the last couple years. However, I have left jobs at tops in the economy and at lows in the economy. Doesn't make a hoot of a difference to me. I try to live a life based on faith.
Essentially dropped out of high school in '77 to pursue professional sports. Was eventually blessed with an opportunity to earn a PhD in Chemistry. Left athletic sponsors when the arrangements no longer fit and was blessed with suitable alternatives. Earned an advanced degree "owning" only a few sets of clothes, a '74 Jeep CJ5 (
) and a Rottweiler. No money to my name at that time. But, a decade later, and after having quit a few unsatisfactory bio/pharma jobs, ended up as point man in a start-up biotech. Put $100M to work for one of the richest guys on the planet.
Now that environment is toxic and it is time to leave.
I have a plan of action. No expectations it will work out. Actually, I have many contingency plans without expectations. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up working at Harkins Theaters asking, "Butter with that popcorn sir?"
Here's my bottom line advice WSSix. Faith fulfills the spirit. Believing one is in control is an illusion. Give it up. No fear.
Two hours and fifteen minutes 'till resignation time. New chapters in life are exciting.
