So, we've made the decision that I am quitting once this baby comes in November. Actually, I want to quit at the beginning of October so that I have a month with just DD before the baby comes. DH claims he'll be on an "easier" month then too so we are hoping to get in a lot of family time that month.
But, I'm struggling with when to tell my boss. I have a great job and a fantastic boss. I actually feel guilty for leaving because she has been so understanding about letting me leave for my million doctor appointments both when I was really sick with my rash in Feb. and now since I am high risk. It really is a great gig - our hours are totally flexible so we basically set our own schedules. Some days I come in at 7:30, some days at 9:30 and no one ever questions where I've been, etc. And I leave every day at 4:15 unless I have a patient here - which has happened one time.
Since it such a great gig for a "single" working mom I want to be honest and not burn any bridges in case I need to get a job again later down the road. I feel like I need to give them plenty of notice so that I can get someone trained on my studies. But I also have my 1 year review around Labor day and I don't want to tell them too early and not get a good review (which I don't think would happen) or get a raise (which I'd only get for four weeks anyway).
We do have a few PRN people in our group and I might ask if I can go to PRN status so that I can earn some extra cash by helping out with a study that has visits on the weekends or something....but that doesn't help with my struggle on the "when to tell".
Any thoughts or suggestions?
