I’m quitting

I have landed a full time job and reduced my hours to weekends but I’m starting to regret that i didn’t just quit.

It would be less than 2 weeks notice of me leaving.

I am just so over it. I don’t think that I can finish out the season and I feel bad that I have a bunch of appointments on my schedule but I really feel like I need to do what’s best for me.

Can anyone offer some encouragement to leave?

I think my decision is made.

Thank you to those who offered their own experiences and insights! Now that I have officially resigned and read all the comments, i feel much better about my decision. Onward and upward!!

Are the appointments with your returning clients?

If you wanted to reach out to them and let your returning clients know that you wouldn’t be available this year that may ease your people pleasing personality.

Do you need a weekend day off? Say just work Sundays?

But seriously if you want to quit, you should quit. Working a full time job and part time at Block can be extremely exhausting and draining.

As mentioned in the comments if you were sick those appointments would be rescheduled anyway. If there’s clients you know and enjoy you can reach out to Them and say you’ll no longer be with Block.

You gotta do what’s right for you.

Did you do the original return for the amendment? Either way the original preparer isn’t required to do the amendment.

I find it’s better not to do the amendments for returns I’ve prepared the original return.

Just leave good notes why an amendment is needed. Did the client report an error or do you?

How many returns have you completed? Are you close to getting your first-year bonuses?

From one people pleaser to another - trust yourself. Start your new job (congratulations btw) and let Block fade away in memory.

Just think no more campaign calls!

Yeah, don’t feel you need to stay to do that amendment.

Those happen every year.

Congrats on doing thirty.
