And my mouth says another is usually a problem.

This time, not so much.
My brain said 'fuck this', my mouth said 'Ok, that's my 2 weeks'.
On April fools day, I'll be unemployed for the first time since I was 16-ish, minus a semester or 2 in college.
I didn't enjoy telling the crew I built that I'm leaving, but I got good feedback. I can be proud of that. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, it's time to go.

Congrats!

Congrats.

I’m calling the lid on April 17th. That gave my boss about 7 weeks to find my replacement. 4.5 weeks to go, but whose counting

Agreed. Life is too short to be unhappy, both in your personal and professional lives. I had that realization a few years back, and took the hard step of quitting a long term position back in 2023, and I came out the other end in a much better spot.

It's nice to have the financial flexibility to do that, whether it's just for a short term job/company/career change or a long term retirement.

Congrats. New opportunities can be great. I hope you make the most of it. When I quit most of my co workers said "I could not afford to quit". I said I could not afford to stay. That was more than 20 years ago. Wish you the best.

Congrats. I did the same thing two weeks ago, about a month ahead of my planned schedule, but I decided enough was enough and a couple of paychecks won't make a material difference to my retirement plans.

Congrats. I've been in that situation a time or two. It's not always that you're not enjoying what you're doing but rather the conditions under which you are being forced to do it.

All the best!

Congratulations!
