Quarrantine

March 29th, 2009 at 09:15 pm

Now my 7 y/o is sick. My house just needs to be quarantined.

I called up my Mom cause I just am frustrated at this point and am nervous about the implications I am leaving with my job. I'm a great student and a great worker, but this is just apparently not meant to be.

She is an employer (she owns a McDonald's... although instead of sick children she deals with people going to jail) and told me resigning likely would be the right thing to do.

I feel crummy about it. I just started on Monday and after working only 10 hours left on the 3rd day early, called in on Thursday, Friday, and by this point I'm sure they have had it with me.

Its all legitimate but doesn't help the feeling. I wanted to give them a heads up in case they check their email... but the timing is just off & if anything is screaming now is not the right time - its this.

I'll call them tomorrow morning to follow up but yeah, I feel crummy about it because this is not my usual work ethic but my family has to come first. The timing is just really bad.

    I'm sorry it's not working out for you. Family does come first (for you, anyhow). The employer might feel differently. You could certainly offer to resign, or tell them you are ready to. They may welcome the offer so they don't have to go thru the hassle of getting rid of you themselves -- or they might surprise you and be willing to "start over" when you are able to go back. I hope everyone gets well soon.

    I agree with lizajane. You need to have a conversation with your employer.
