I was offered a new job yesterday hooray! And have decided to accept it. It's going to be better hours ::currently work 1 to 11pm:: and also solve our daycare situation while allowing me to be close to LO all day. BUT. I'm dreading talking to my current boss. She had no idea I was looking, and I know it's going to be a bit of a scramble for her to fill my spot. So...help me come up with a script or offer some words of encouragement? This was my first "big girl" job out of college, and while I'm good at it and find it very rewarding most days, it's just not going to work with having a young family. I won't see her until Wednesday to start, and I know I'm going to be obsessing over the next 3 days. Gah! This decision was supposed to relieve some stress, not cause more!

  • I wouldn't worry about it too much. I would just let her know you would like to turn in your 2 week notice and if she asks why I would let her know that you have accepted a job that has better hours for daycare or something to that effect. If she is mad o

    I think you just need to be upfront and honest. I just went through a similar situation and loved my boss and coworkers, but the decision was best for my career growth and my family. You can't feel bad about putting y

  • You should let her know you're putting in your two week notice. But, you'd like to thank her for the opportunity she's given you over the time you've been there. Thank her for everything you've learned and your accomplishments in the company.

  • I would tell her basically what you said, that you greatly appreciate the opportunities you were provided at this job, you learned a lot and enjoyed working for her, but you had to do what was best for your family.

  • Congrats! I just accepted a new position as well! As far as your old manager two weeks notice. Maybe while out to lunch? She will understand, unless you are making 7.6 million a year, those hours aren't ideal for a family life and everyone needs to advanc
