I am resigning

Yes, I am resigning. And I don’t plan on showing hints online and at work, or maybe quiet quitting. I’ll keep being performative, smiles and all, pero once I signed a better offer, kalas agad. No lengthy explanations to my team. I’m done. Here’s why.

Nag-away kami ng manager ko because of a miscommunication during work project. Instead na ayusin niya yung heated argument, all she did was ignore me. 5 months na and until now hindi pa rin niya ako pinapansin sa workplace. I don’t mind at all kasi I know this about her and hindi ito yung first time na ginawa niya yun. We had another friendship fallout prior and basically it affected our work bond dahil sa pagiging avoidant niya, na eventually nauwi sa away inside work.

Then fast forward to last week, kinausap ako ng TL namin and she told me na mapupunta sa isang ka-work namin yung ibang tasks ko. Supposedly those tasks that I’ve been doing lately are to secure my promotional path this year. Sabi niya para daw “matest if kaya din nung isa to weigh us both in” which I call bs, given nga ng situation namin ni madam. Tsaka hindi naman yan yung agreement namin for my promotion prior the fight. My guess? Nahihirapan lang talaga si madam to have to engage with me because of pride and ego, kaya nila ginawa to. Something tells me din na she’s using her power to punish me and get a reaction out of me.

I’ve read cases like these online and tingin ko they’re icing me out. Good thing though nung kinausap ako ni TL, I told her na I don’t mind at all kasi just because nabawasan ako ng responsibility all of a sudden doesn’t mean my capabilities have diminished. Ni-reassure pa niya na maayos naman performance ko dun sa mga tasks, it’s just that they’re trying to see if kaya nung isa naming teammate.

Honestly if that’s the case, then maybe they really don’t deserve me. I’m planning if magre-resign na ako pero I’m still being strategic about it.

I thought of raising this to our supervisor (my manager’s manager) pero I fear it will just backlash on me. Knowing our tl has bias tendencies towards our manager, and wala akong masyadong physical proof to document; most of our deals are done through lip service lang. Plus, I don’t want any more work drama. I’m so over dealing with a passive-aggressive manager, and I deserve a better treatment. I used to love this company. But things are changing badly it doesn’t feel the same anymore. I want a fresh start. Do you think it’s the best idea to resign?
