For reference this is an abusive mom n’ pop shop that I’ve worked for for 3.5 years, and the manager has only worked there 2 years. She was hired after me and promoted to manager without it being offered to me because, and I’m quoting my boss: “I thought you didn’t want it.”
So I’ve got this great opportunity at a fine dining establishment, but it’s not 100% yet. Once it IS 100% I intend on either quitting without notice or giving them one week. If I get this job I wanna have some time between then and starting so I have more time to research the menu and practice plates and stuff, but I want to give myself a week to just. Exist. I haven’t had more than 5 days off in 10 years, and a whole week would mean the world to me.
So how would you go about doing this? I’m not trying to be especially nice to my employer, but I need those extra 7 days of pay so I can’t just say “fuck you.” You know? Any and all advice is appreciated.
