Curious if anyone can speak to a similar experience. Recently, I implemented FU money and left a role I became unhappy with.

Partly this had to do with an approx 3 yr management shift that had me feel in near-constant state of chaos.

Tried to resolve – do the things, request the meetings, etc. I gave it a go – 3 yrs. I switched <essentially> departments, yet I am feeling so sad for what I left behind, mostly the team.

I am, somewhat, feeling totally blindsided by this surprisingly amount of guilt and despair, even tho when I look at my current situation without my emotional journey, I am beyond grateful and excited for my current opportunity.

It’s like pinch me, this is what I asked to manifest, how did the slot I get open up at just this right time.

But golly, I’m still feeling bad thinking about the team I left behind.

Can anyone else speak to this?

I just left a toxic situation and kind of feel survivors guilt or something so I think I get what you’re saying and I was only there for 3 mos (my tolerance is much lower than yours apparently lol).

I’m guessing it will fade with time.

The grass is always greener on the other side….. Focus on being thankful for…Options. Health. Not being broke.

Sometimes I have to remind myself “There are a lot of folks out that that WISH they had your problems instead of theirs. ”

I totally get it, leaving a team you cared about after three years of chaos can feel heavy.

It’s normal to feel guilty, but you made the right call for yourself, and they’ll adapt.

Embrace this exciting new chapter, the guilt will ease up soon.
