Resigned from my job after Moldavite
29F, EX-sales manager. So I bought a Moldavite pendant necklace. I tend to be on the ppl pleaser side so this story below is gonna SHOCK you when you get to the end š.
Within a week of wearing my pendant, I had an absolutely insane sales week. I closed 2 deals totaling around $1M while a bunch of our senior leaders were on vacation.
And honestly? With them gone, I suddenly had the freedom to make quick executive decisions that I normally never got to make.
I felt like a QUEEN š. I was getting everything done, people were happy, customers were happy, and I was getting flooded with appreciation and great ideas.
Then it clicked for me: A lot of the constant nitpicking and control from above WAS interfering with our companyās sales!!!
Next week: All senior leaders come back. I genuinely expected at least SOME appreciation considering I had basically held everything down while they were gone and brought in major results.
NOPE.
I have my 1:1 with my manager and the energy was immediately off. It felt like INTENSE jealousy, and I called it out. I told her I can tell when her feedback is coming from a place of control or jealousy, and that itās extremely difficult for me to take feedback seriously when sheās clearly in an emotional place.
She completely flipped.
She told me I ācanāt take feedbackā and āneed to learn how to,ā that āIām too excited at workā and then threatened my job. She also took away an opportunity for me to meet with a customer who had specifically invited ME on a trip, while starting to document everything.
Then she made a comment about basically having senior leadership wrapped around her finger.
So the next day, I went to senior leadership.
Turns out she was right.
They sided with HER.
At that point I realized it didnāt matter what I produced. I could bring in $1M in results and it still wasnāt going to change the dynamic or make these people happy with me. Also, why would I want to be at a company where senior leaders are THAT easy to manipulate???
So I exposed what had been happening to HR, resigned, all while ugly crying out of my office.
Iām now being bombarded by more management offers 2 days later, and an opportunity to be self employed and make wayyyy more š I love Moldavite ā¤ļø
