I'm done

I am quitting my job today.  I feel bad telling my boss Chris, but besides that I am excited about this decision.  I have been miserable at work, every day I come home from work and bitch about the way the company is heading.  My new boss does not want me to grow as a professional he wants to keep me in my place and make sure I do all the work no one else wants to do.  I don't think he even realizes how much I do here.  I created the Accounts Payable department from scratch.  On my first day I needed to contact a vendor to create our check stock since no one had even thought about it.  David will learn when I am gone how much I did, but that will not be my problem.  When Chris hired me he looked at my resume and noticed I had not stayed at one job for over 2 years yet in my career.  I told Chris during that interview I was ready to settle down and I was ready to stay the long haul with my next position.  I guess I was wrong, but at the time it was true.  I have been here for 18 months and the department I was hired to create is created and now it's someone else's job to see it through the next phase because no matter how much I try I am not being supported by the power that be.  I know Chris is unhappy at his position too, but unlike me he needs this job, he has 3 kids and two houses to pay for. I am lucky in that area since I am single and have very little debt.  I hope Chris understands.
