Throwaway:
I told my boss I would like to negotiate on cutting down my hours I have worked there for 15 years and I really need a break.
I wanted to keep my foot in the door so asked what the minimum I could work and still be employed and keep my leave hours, we negotiated on two days.
I have given until the end of the year for replacement or staff changes.
(I have another job for the other days)
My boss was quite angry that I didn't inform them that I was applying for other employment and that it was rather rude.
I said I'm telling you now with plenty of time.
Did I need to tell her prior that I was looking for something else.
