It’s maddening that you can’t simply convey that to them.
If these were the kind of people interested in the conveyance of practical, realistic, useful and truthful information, you wouldn’t be leaving. The beauty in elegantly crafted work? Entirely lost on that sort. Yet every excellent worker I have ever known has not only seen but thrived on creating just that. When work, especially creative work of any sort, is The Very Best, it stands out, and good people know and love obviously exceptional work.
The loss is theirs, but as you imply, it’s much, much more than just losing one employee.
Glad you’ve made the decision to go, and honestly the whole clashing arrangement sounds like oil and water – integrity vs greed – so chances are excellent that at some point they would make the decision for you if you were not making it yourself now.
Watch your back on the way out, and best wishes for a better workplace.
It’s scary how you are taking words right from my mind.
Sorry about that. Just in case it would help you to hear these words, I sent them your way. It’s a simple case of been there done that, and I wish I had allowed myself to see the situation as clearly then as I did when I replied to you. But for me, all that was a long time ago, and all is well these days. Thank you for the kind wishes.
Your written English is excellent, so I had no idea you are not a native speaker. Please know we’re good!
But if I may add one last thing – don’t forget to watch your back on the way out. Just as you are leaving because this is not a good fit for you, there is someone else just as happy to see them come in and relax all those high standards. So don’t talk about your plans, don’t give away details of your job hunt, act like you’re 100% happy to be there and you’ve seen the light and want to work there forever (nauseating, I know) and just for a little while until you’re out, don’t trust your coworkers to keep your secrets.
My DMs are open should you ever need them, and I wish you the very best.
