I work in the death care industry and I got an offer and a much better location. Higher pay, management title, etc….. but I still had a lot of open cases and files that needed to be polished before closing out completely.
I let my manager know, sent out an email expressing my gratitude to the director of operations, and gave them my last day date and they agreed. I started closing things out, but wasn’t even a quarter of the way done. Came into work today and HR said we’re not letting you finish until the 19th sorry bye.
I feel HORRIBLE for leaving things half finished and my families will be confused and feel like I left them in the lurch at such a delicate time in their lives. Don’t know what to do from here. Don’t start second job until the 24th.
