“Congratulations on resigning”: the unexpected gift that a young woman received and went viral after leaving her job

“Congratulations for resigning.”

His message dates back to March 23. “I quit my job two days ago, prioritizing my life, the one that is little talked about and is worth more than any figure in the bank account. In my case, having mental health gives me the creativity I need to help people and/or companies create their brands, increase their sales, humanize their business strategies,” he said.

Currently, the young woman resides in Cipolletti. From there he answered the call: “My brother gave me the cake. He made me laugh and at the same time moved me. First because it was a highly original act and then because behind that gesture there was a recognition of my decision.”

Why did you decide to quit the job you had since 2019?

In relation to why she decided to leave work, she stated: “I felt that stress was taking over my days, it was difficult for me to sleep because I was overwhelmed with work without having a clear objective and organization.” And she clarified: “I was prioritizing my mental health, which does not mean that the company left me poorly. Quite the opposite.”

The posting of Reserwho studied Social Communication and continues training in Marketing and Digital Advertisingexceeded 60 thousand likes and received another thousand comments on LinkedIn.

“I received a lot of love, and also many people wrote to me telling me about their situation and their experiences, empathizing 100% with me and my feelings. There were also people who judged me, but hey, it is also part of the maelstrom of the networks,” she said.

Then he said: “I came across comments from people from different countries telling me that reading my post gave them the strength they needed to leave a job that they were not enjoying and that was affecting their health. Others told me that after 20 years they decided to prioritize that, assuming the risks of leaving economic stability even when they were older to find another job in a labor market that bets – unfortunately – on younger people.”
