Feel horrible
As I sat in my manager's cube today I realized why I have been dreading coming into work lately. I found out that I got the job with the IRS only two days after being offered my job here at Northwestern. My manager has been so ecstatic about me staying and I dread coming in every day and not saying anything that I will be quitting. I have to tell her this week to give them at least two weeks notice. My last day here will be January 13th.
So here is what makes it that much more difficult: Jenny Kress, one of the main controllers that we work with in accounting who is notorious for being mean and pretty much nobody likes, has sent an email to my manager saying how much she has enjoyed working with me and she can see why they pushed so hard to keep me here. I was shocked! She is NEVER that nice to ANYONE. She even gave me a compliment on the phone last Thursday, I almost fell out of my chair. My manager forwarded that email on to the head of our department.
I wish I could just disappear and avoid having to quit. I love working here and I love the feeling of knowing that I am appreciated. But I am also very excited about getting my dream job and moving to Chicago, which is something I have to keep a secret for the time being. This is so stressful. Oh, yeah, and they only wanted to pay me $27,000 for doing this. Maybe I sound stuck up and greedy, but I worked my ass off for 4.5 years to earn my accounting degree and the $36,500 that the IRS is offering me makes me feel a bit better about leaving.
Will someone please be me for the next few weeks so I don't have see the disappointment on my manager's face?? Or do you have any advice about how to make it any easier?
