I asked him if he was serious and he said he needed dedicated full time help. I asked “so, you can’t find help, but you’d rather have me quit than work part time?” He said yes. “Effective when?” I asked, he said I could just leave now. So I left. He’s texted me three times and I haven’t even looked at the messages. Might as well enjoy my nights and weekends for a while. His logic just doesn’t make sense to me.
