Leaving my main job soon

I'll be leaving my main job at the end of the year after more than 24 years. I can't take any more from the idiots who are trying to tell me what to do when they've never done it themselves. Fortunately I have another business building up but losing a fair chunk of our household income will be something to get used to...

Thanks everyone. For me, history is repeating itself. Thirty years ago I was in a job which had been absolutely great, and then came a change of 'management', which meant ignorant ws telling me what to do and then expecting me to clear up when their 'methods' didn't work.
I vowed after leaving that job (BTW my successor lasted three weeks) that I would never work in such conditions again, so I became self-employed. The best decision I ever made, as you can choose who you work with. For 24 years I've been working part time in a charity, managing the lot. Then a change of trustees, who don't have a clue but who accuse me of upsetting the smooth running of the charity, which I've been running all that time without their laziness and self-satisfaction.
So I'm out at the end of the year, having given nearly four months notice. My choice, and I'll just wait for reports about how they get on. I have a business my wife and I have been building in the background, so we will not be without an income, but there will be a dip until the business takes off properly, which it will, as it thrives in recession.
A bit poorer, temporarily, but happier, and in control of my life again.
I work in property and things was good at the start. Then we was taken over but things did not change much. Then we was taken over again and things got better. Now we have been taken over again but now i think we are to big and the people at the top dont care about the custommers but just making as much money as they can. Its not the sort of company i want to work for so i am thinking about leaving

Why would rookies think they can tell you how to do a job you've been doing for 24 years?

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic They like the power!

I did the same thing in my early 50s. Best decision I ever made. Best of luck to you.
Be safe.

I'm planning to get a different job , I have similar issues.

It's always a good idea to stand on [u]two[/u] legs.
