Neither did I!!! I quit a job I loved of 16 years in medical education because my conscience would not allow me to continue. My boss (who was also one of my best friends) hasn't spoken to me since I resigned 2 1/2 months ago. Breaks my heart.

I pray that this awakening will bring about the change we so desperately need.

I agree with Hugh. You did the right thing. It had to be very hard so prayers for you. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

You are one of the people who did the right thing even though it was not to your benefit. There are a lot like you but not nearly enough. You have a brain and a conscience. I haven’t had to do that since I am retired but I would have. I quit jobs before for much lesser reasons. I have also been fired because I spoke out against management. It all turned out well at the end. You will be fine.

Well, I had the luxury of quitting because my husband has a successful business. I can't imagine how I could continue to do my job feeling like I do about healthcare now. I told her the reason why I resigned, but I don't think she wants to know any details - they might just make her think twice about the "work" she does. We must have the courage of our convictions, right? I truly believe because of all this, there is a place/job for me where I can make a difference and find purpose.
