So, I’ve worked at my current job for around three years. I had a really good crew when I first started, and one by one, they all fell off for various reasons. My favorite coworker went and got a job at my old job (same field) and I got stuck picking up the pieces.

There are two owners. A husband and wife. They have been spending a lot of time out of state essentially on vacation and ignoring the shop. Also, my current batch of coworkers are not a good team. They’re not helpful and just don’t have their head in the game. I wouldn’t care so much except it all falls to me to pick up the pieces when they don’t pitch in.

Anyway, I took a meeting with the old place I worked at, and got a good offer. Plus, my favorite coworker from the current job works there, and I’m excited to get the dream team back together.

Why do I feel so bad about leaving? The bosses have been completely unavailable and I get no support anywhere. Hours are going down to zero and I can’t afford to live.

I haven’t exactly been vocal about my problems, because I’ve been trying to act like a leader and rally the troops

I guess I’m just looking for kind words of encouragement from internet strangers.
