hey guys, I've recently interviewed for a new job which is the job of my dreams and I've found out today that I've got it - I couldn't be happier (in light of all my recent symptoms its really a bit of good news I'm in need of!) However, I'm now really panicking at the thought of handing my notice in with my current employer. I work for a very small company with no more than 6 employees, and my role in the company is very important because it is so small. I feel sick and shakey at just the thought of going into my manager's office with the resignation letter. I've been very unhappy here for a while, I work in a predominantly male environment and the male managers are extremely sexist and inappropriate, making me very uncomfortable here for a number of months. I feel guilty because my managers wife is due to have a baby next month and I feel like they'll need to fill my position asap which could be a struggle. I know I REALLY shouldn't feel guilty about this as they have been really unpleasant to work for, but I just always feel bad about letting people down. I know my manager will probably make me feel really guilty, and like I've messed them around (I haven't) and make me feel like I'm really stupid for leaving and taking a job which he will probably deem as a terrible career choice compared to what his company has to offer (all he cares about is making money).
Can anyone advise on how to feel less anxious about this, or how to go about it? I feel so sick at the thought of it and I'm so scared about the reaction I will get from colleagues.
many thanks x
