Working on resolving my issues. I know quitting is not a solution, but it will reduce stress. The work really is not my cup of tea. It turned into a copy and paste validation effort instead of development. Will do my best not to burn ze bridges
Thanks for the commentI just sent an email requesting a meeting today. It will bother me, but I feel like I should talk with him in person about it. Also depending on how things go I can't hold onto my badge, so would need to go in anyway.
I was planning to definitely tell my supervisor through the contracting company in person (although I have only really seen him once since being hired).
My paid time off and sick leave are combined, and I was pretty sick a few weeks ago so pretty much at 0 right now (it accrues sloooowly).
You are right with the depression/anxiety etc. It has always been a problem but manageable, and I don't really like admitting it. It has recently become much less manageable. Trying to be active towards taking care of it
The computer I am using is through the government agency where I work on site. Do I just leave my equipment, put my code somewhere, and go tell my supervisor for the contracting company with a written letter?
There is nothing sensitive about my work, so don't have that to worry about. Sciency stuff and completely open to the world. At this point I feel that even if I stayed it would not benefit either party.
I don't hate my boss which makes it harder. I am the only developer for this piece of the project and replacing me will take time, the schedule will slip and put her in a tough spot.
Do you know if I should tell my boss I see everyday that works for the government agency, or the one off-site for the contracting company I am hired through?
The schedule the project is currently on, me taking any time would be unacceptable (it will slip). Issue with being the only developer on this effort.
Could I phrase it along the lines of I need a week or I need to quit? I don't even know if there is "medical leave".
My life kinda exploded and I let it affect the quality of my work which I am not proud of, but it has been and it has been getting worse. I have finally told a couple friends I am struggling and they want to help (thank you).
