Not 2

Dear Friends and Family,

And just when I thought I was in my final countdown mode, I found out my boss is on vacation all next week. This gives me three options:

1. quit before he leaves: This is an unattractive option because I'm not ready (e.g. I haven't cleared my phone and computer yet) and it'll put a damper on his vacation, not much of a damper, but a damper nonetheless.
2. quit while he is gone: I'm sure the first thing that my boss' boss would do is email my boss on vacation and let him know. He'll wonder why I couldn't do this before he left for vacation or after he came back from vacation. I also like my boss more than my boss' boss so I'd rather have the conversation with him. He's earned that.
3. quit after he comes back: This seems like the least unattractive option of the three. It does mean I'll only have two weeks of transition and it does mean I'll have to put in my best faith effort at working next week. And it does mean I need to rejigger my to do list a little. And I'm not sure if I'll take this Friday off after all, but I guess this is the path I'm headed down.

I'm not sure it's the best option. Come back from a week at Jamaica. Have your employee quit on you. But, what's option B? Not much better, truth be told.


Cheers!
