Promotions haven't been worth it for 30 years. Most people stick around cuz it's a PITA getting a new job

If promotion means becoming a manager... no thanks.

That would be the dream, but it hasn't panned out, and my long notice period is hampering me. I'm not going to continue slogging it out here indefinitely, and I don't need to.

I don't need any additional anxiety to discourage me from getting out of this before I just burn out and am in a worse position.

I saw a handmade sign in a floating workshop for ships, it stated "Please Resist Entropy". That has inspired me ever since. It sounds like you are resisting entropy and good for you. Wish you better times and a better job. o7
