Need suggestions - not sure how to handle!
Here?s a little background ? my family lives about 3 hours away in a neighboring state. After DD was born a year ago we decided that it made sense to move closer to them as we want her to grow-up close to family. DH is a teacher so we?re tied to the school calendar as far as his job search goes. In February he applied for a position near my family but didn?t get the job. About a month later my job was relocated, so I started looking for jobs both here and near my family. I ended up getting a few offers here and decided to take one in May. Since DH hadn?t had any movement in his search we thought we?d be here for a couple more years. Well, the school district he interviewed with earlier this year recently offered him the job as the original candidate fell through. So we?ll be moving in 6 weeks. I like my job and my manager and feel awful leaving after only a few months. How do I tell her this? I will of course offer to work remotely, but this co. generally has a strict policy of not allowing employees to work remotely, so I?m not hopeful it will work out. We?ll be living w/my parents at first so it?s possible that I stay here until October or so if the house doesn?t sell. While this fits for me personally it doesn?t professionally and that makes it really hard. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I?d like to give them at least a month?s notice. TIA for your help.
Re: Need suggestions - not sure how to handle!
Do you need both incomes or can you live off from just your H's income? How does your H feel about you staying in current city until October if your home doesn't sell?
Personally if may be there until Oct. I wouldn't say anything until Sept. It's going to take a month-ish to close on your home so you're going to know a month in advance when you're leaving. When you know when you're actually leaving, write a resignation letter stating when your last day will be. When you meet with your boss, let them know that you'll be moving and are interested in working remotely and see where that conversation goes. If it's a no, then thank them for your employment and give them the resignation letter.
