I LOVE my manager!!!!!!!
So, today was the deadline to RSVP for our out-of-state training (which I obviously shouldn’t attend) AND payday, hence the perfect day to quit my job.
I wrote Mr. Manager a nice note saying, “it’s not you, it’s me” and informing him that I’ll be leaving for Canada in April for an indefinite period of time to help my mother.
He said he was sorry to lose me, took my note, didn’t open it, and promptly handed it back. “He’s what you’re gonna do,” he said, with a little smile, “if you’re willing, stay on until Friday, do some filing-- we’ll pay you the same rate-- and then quit on Friday. That way, you roll over into the next period and you’ll have health insurance, on us, until the end of March.”
I just stared. That’s such an awesomely nice thing to do. Then he asked me what I planned to do until I left for Canada and, when I said temping, he said that they had been considering hiring a temp for a few days and would think it over and see if they had enough work to warrant bringing me on again short-term.
YAY!!!!!
(I didn’t mention grad school though. It’s the most widely known secret in my office at this point. . . )
