Less than a month for me. I like it so far. Less stress and I don’t work as hard. Previously I was in my agency for 8 years and promoted up into management for the final year and a half. I likely would have stayed longer but being subjected to a pretty sloppy merge with forced new policies, protocols, and less efficiency did not sound appealing to me. I gave my two cents in what needed to happen to make the merge successful, but it largely fell on deaf ears. My new director had little idea of what it was that I actually did and had no knowledge of one contract. She didn’t know what she didn’t know sort of thing... once I put my notice in they certainly were okay with the door hitting me on the way out and didn’t ask why I was leaving and didn’t seem to care. I got the last laugh since they fumbled on that one contract and took quite a financial hit once I left.

Good thing is I was able to milk working from home for the beginning of the stay at home order before taking two months off for the remainder of the time. Kind of good timing since I got to spend a bunch of time with the little one who stayed home and couldn’t be in pre-school.
