I'm in the process of "ghosting" my job

Thank you and happy chatting!
probably internalized capitalist propaganda about how employees are supposed be loyal and nonsense like that. sounds like you should accept the new offer, and giving no notice is pretty funny.
That's what my shoulder devil is saying. I took the job. That's a done deal.
The coworker I mentioned quit on them when they were both in Florida and they didn't come back to help figure things out. All I got for saving the business was a 50¢ raise. That was a year ago. I have a feeling I would never get another raise either.
I'm not sure about the internalizing capitalist agenda stuff - but if it were me (and I have been in a similar position in the past) - you probably know how shitty life is about to get for all your soon-to-be former coworkers.
Even if they are awful, you may think they don't deserve the shit show that's awaiting them when you (the person who takes up the slack) bails.
The thing is, it's already shitty for you, and nobody is going to look out for your mental health/prosperity but you. And worst case, your former coworkers can find some place else to go.
I'm glad you accepted the offer, now the only (minor) challenge will be sticking to it despite pleading from your manger/counter offers.
This is the closest to my thinking. Deep down I like my old coworkers as people. One of them is my sister.
The real answer is I'm a lot more replaceable than everyone thinks. If anyone would have taken the last three years to memorize the easy parts of my job that I have written down everywhere their transition shouldn't be that tough.
I'm off to my first day back at the other job, so hopefully that will be the experience I need to realize how much better I'm about to have it
