Yes.

Where I was working had just made some people redundant, so I wasn't feeling particularly loyal. My boss had left (for personal reasons), so I was the only developer. On top of that I found the work environment frustrating, due to having to sit next to someone whose job was to be loud on the phone (I don't mean that disparagingly, I accepted that he was doing his job and not just annoying), and I was suffering with massive imposter syndrome. I'd just inherited some money (enough to get by for six months) after my granddad died, then my shoelace broke as I was tying my shoe.
