One of the final straws for me was when I realized my contributions were consistently overlooked, and my ideas were belittled during team meetings. It became clear that no matter how hard I worked, positive feedback was only given to others, and it was affecting my morale and mental health.
When I decided to leave, I wanted to make a statement. I crafted an email that outlined my experiences and the reasons for my departure, emphasizing the importance of a healthy work environment. I also requested an exit interview to share my concerns directly. To make it memorable, I accompanied my resignation notice with a small farewell gift for my colleagues, thanking them for the good moments we shared. It felt empowering to leave on my own terms, and I hope it helped shed light on the issues I experienced.
