I’m 22 years old, working to pay off my husband and I’s student loans and my husbands car. I put in my request today. I didn’t have enough PTO because they refused to let me work from home when I was sick in January.
I work as a social worker for children. Two of our team members are leaving in the next 3 weeks, so I, and my other coworkers, will have at least 20 clients on our case load. They want us to see them 2-3 times a week (not possible). If I leave my clients will be neglected and my all ready overworked coworkers will be wrecked.
So I told them they can either let me appeal, work virtually when I am at the meet, or I’ll put in my two weeks notice. It sucks because I love my job, but I’m going to pick trying to race in Portugal in June versus making $20.24 an hour. My supervisor emailed me saying he wants me to have a work life balance so I can try to work 20 hours in 2 days before the Thursday-Saturday meet and I told him that’s not possible. I need to be there Monday to Sunday due to COVID protocols. Wish me luck tomorrow as I will know for certain if I can compete (the meet is April 7th-9th and I waiting to see if I was offered an international classification slot)!
