I just don’t want to feel defensive and I got defensive. I appreciate both your last replies @seesaw and @purple, Violet,Blue.

I’m typically very self critical as it is, and I’ve been very down on myself lately. I come on here for support, to feel validated and reassured. That’s all I’m looking for.

I feel good about my decision to leave my company. Once I realized that the CEO himself is a bad leader, I realized there’s too many battles to fight in my current work environment to truly succeed there. And they’re failing as a company. The writing is on the wall.

I found a Director level role for which I qualify and will apply! I’m excited about the prospect of leAving. And most certainly I will apply any lessons learned going forward.

Thanks again you two. I really do appreciate the kindness.
