So basically… I’ve been at this job for roughly 6 months. I’ve never quit a job this fast. My last job I was there over 5 yrs and the job before that was about 4.5.
I’m only part time but when I was hired I was working ~50 hr weeks 6 days a wk sometimes w/o benefits (but I get OT so I guess they felt it was fair) ive really only stayed bc the hourly rate was actually decent (coming from a low salary full time job with benefits)…but soon figured out why…bc the turnover here is higher than the heavens. My job is basically a care provider for a group home. The company sucks, but did a very good job maintaining their internet presence so I didn’t know how bad it was. Without getting into too deep they’ve had license issues and other things I can’t really get into here but it just sucks tbh. We have NO staff at the house I’m at now.. i went back to college this fall and cut my hours to Friday-Sunday.
I’m the only “consistent” person minus the 2 supervisors. When I first went back to school it was ok they worked around it. I went form 6 days/week to 3. Now they don’t have staff and they’re scheduling me on days I need off to study.
I didn’t do as well as I needed on my midterms and my classes are ramping up so I’m leaving. I know this kinda screws my boss bc now they’ll have to cover ALL of the shifts or pull employees from other houses and they’re stretched thin. But from the jump when I was hired I stressed that my school was a priority.
I am very very passive. I am a people pleaser. At my last job I was leaving to return to school after being out for over +6 yrs and my coworkers/boss were really supportive/happy. But I’ve seen people leave here and have seen how they get treated after it’s made known. It sucks. No one knows I’m about to leave yet I’ve continued to go to trainings/meetings like there’s no problem.
I was going to give them the courtesy of a month to find someone and so I could help train but recent events have unfolded to where I’m just going to do the traditional two weeks bc I mentally/emotionally cannot take it. There have been things that have happened where I feel like my future career (nursing) could be jeopardized too.
Ok anyway my question I guess is what’s the best way to leave? I see my head supervisor Sunday and plan on telling them. they’re a hothead. Should I have something written out as well? Should I just do an email and CC everyone that needs to be included? I’m worried about the reaction, I know I shouldn’t be but ah…I don’t need to give a reason right? I can just give notice?im worried if I give them reasons they’ll try to appease me or “make things work” bc they’re desperate for staff.
Idk okthxbye and TIA!! This was not a short one I’m sorry
