I feel guilty

twoitalians

I'll be going back to work in another week and a half but I feel awful because I'm going to be giving my notice because I accepted another job offer while on leave. I thought about giving notice now but I want to make sure that my leave benefits don't get taken from me and I needed to keep insurance through the month. I feel guilty because today two of my coworkers said they miss me.

It's not really like I was looking for another job, they came to me through a recommendation by a friend, but the hours will be less stressful while having a young baby and it is closer to home so I won't be gone so long because of the commute. It will be better in the long run but I can't help but feel bad like I'm letting down my friends at my old job. Have I gone about this all wrong?

Agreed. Also explain to your boss that you are doing it for the shorter hours and less commute.

Family comes first. If it is better for you in the long run, you will be happier.
