Secret Plan
I have a secret plan that only my husband knows about. I haven't told anyone my plan because of self-preservation. My plan is to put notice in on my day job (Job#2) on September 13. Why am I doing this you ask? I need to give a little backstory before I can fully answer that. I have been employed at Job#1 for a little over three years. The pay and schedule were(are) great, but I was/am the only part-time employee and tended to get overlooked because I only had morning office hours. At my 3 year anniversary in January, I tried several times to schedule my annual review with my boss. Seeing as he is constantly traveling for business and I left at noon everyday, I never got in to see him or when I did he would say it needs to wait for another time. Needless to say, I was feeling a bit unappreciated. I hadn't had a review/raise in 2 years and I couldn't even get my boss to discuss. So at this point, I started looking for another job. I eventually applied for my current day job or Job#2 and was hired. The pay is 60% less than Job #1 but more hours so my bi-weekly pay is greater than or equal to what I was making at Job#1, but if I wasn't going to be appreciated at Job #1, this is what I needed to do. I immediately let my boss know that I was quitting (effective immediately) but that I would be more than happy to work in the off hours to keep things current for him until they could find a replacement or absorb my work into the department. I fully expected him to say "see ya when I see ya, don't let the door hit you in a$$ on your way out", but that wasn't what happened. He asked me what requirements needed to be met for me to continue doing my job (in addition to Job#2) until it was no longer mutually beneficial. I said, of course, that I wanted more $$$ and I wanted to come and go as I please (for me that means very early morning or weekends). He agreed with no hesitation. So, here I am with one more job than I planned on. What to do? What to do? to be continued...
