Leaving My Job

[Wesley Crusher]

Guys,

Tomorrow is the day that I sit down with my boss and let her know that I am leaving the company. A new opportunity has been presented to me that I cannot turn down. As I am not a believer in closing doors or burning bridges, my #1 priority is to leave on good terms. I will be 100% honest about why I am leaving and offer to do everything that I can in order to make my departure as painless as possible (stay 3 weeks, work extended hours, come in on the weekends, train my replacement, etc...).

I know it is silly, but the guilt is definitely hitting hard right now. I love my team and I hate to think about letting them down. I'd hope that they understand and support my decision to leave, but a part of me fears that they'll take it the wrong way. A co-worker left last week so I know that my timing isn't ideal, but given my responsibilities and my involvement in just about everything, I don't think there will ever be a good time for me to leave. I am sure you all can relate.

I never thought I'd feel like this, but here I am. Am I alone?

Best,
Wes
