Hey, everyone! Thanks for the great feedback and congratulations!

Strange day, all around.

First thing this morning I talked to my supervisor to determine how much notice I'd give. He prefered 4 weeks, so I agreed. Then he went into meetings, and, I found out about 20 minutes after he had my notice that his next meeting was to let someone else go.

Of all of the days, today was the day the company announced a 5% staff reduction as well as salary reductions beginning in June (after I leave). The only things that would have been better for me would be if my name had been on the block and they'd offered me a package, which also may have saved someone else a job. Otherwise, I take this all as the universe telling me I've made the right choice.

My resignation letter was short, expressed thanks for opportunities, and that I will be helpful with the transition. They will put an announcement on our Intranet, and I've asked they include my new title and company so no-one assumes that I was part of the collateral damage.

Thanks again for all the tips and ideas. I think the next 4 weeks are going to fly by!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~
