Two years shows commitment, any management or owner worth their salt will want all employees to develop either within or out side and organisation. So... you need to develop yourself and your career no one else will more

You’ve worked as a waitress at your parents’ friends’ diner for two years, a job they helped you get when you needed money. Now, you feel ready to... move on and pursue more fulfilling opportunities, but your parents don’t want you to quit due to their ties with the owners. Despite their concerns, staying in the job feels like too much, and you’re seeking a way to leave respectfully while prioritizing your own goals. more

I’ve been unemployed for over 6 months, was evicted and moved in with my friend. My 7 year old is with me, I’m a marketing designer and my last gig... was cut due to layoffs. People are using AI more and more and with tariffs my industry isn’t looking to spend.
Recently I got a job with a friend ironically enough, helping the disabled who are homeless. After 10+ years in my industry, countless pitches and websites, apps and redesigns I realize that maybe that was only for a moment in my life and it’s gone. Now I have to work with people who want to be heard mostly, my time isn’t spent staring at a screen it’s empathizing with people and connecting them to resources although I myself was diagnosed with a disability and was evicted.

Life is never how we expect but somehow it manages to give us what we need vs what we want and if we embrace it, it turns out better than expected.

You are not meant to stay in that job forever. Wanting to leave is a sign that you have outgrown the role. Show gratitude to your Boss and your parent... for the opportunity to learn. Pick up the lessons and move forward and upward. more

The job at the diner served its purpose: it helped you through a difficult moment, gave you experience, and a chance to support yourself. But staying... somewhere just to avoid awkwardness for others isn’t a reason to put your own growth on hold.
Your life isn’t meant to be parked at a roadside stop. You feel the pull toward something more—and that’s not selfish, it’s a sign of maturity. It’s okay to outgrow a role, even one that came with family ties. You can thank your parents and their friends sincerely—maybe even write those who hired you a nice note, and move forward with grace.
Growth often means stepping into discomfort—not just for you, but for those around you. Even if your parents feel uneasy, it’s likely that over time they will come to respect your decision. You’re not rejecting their help—you’re building on it.
So go ahead: explore new paths, apply for jobs that excite you, learn something new. You’re not walking away from the diner—you’re walking toward your future.
