I’ve been slowly telling people these last few days, but since it’s been finalized, I can at least put this in a public entry. I gave my two weeks notice at work today. Then, found out they only need me for one, so Friday, October 3rd will be my last day at Yahoo!.
Why? It’s a long story. The short version is that I was not doing my job well — I wasn’t in a position that was a good fit for me. Unfortunately, it was a position I was more or less forced into… and I didn’t explore my options for transferring out until it was too late.
I’ve been gradually telling people here at work, and working with my boss at trying to tie up loose ends, of which there are many. It’s been a long, weird five years. I’m definitely not leaving the same company I joined, that’s for sure.
