[off-topic whine]
Really? You’re quitting
now? Eighteen years and you send the director a 2-weeks-notice text while you’re
on vacation? When you come back, you say you just don’t like her leadership
style, but you’ve never mentioned this before? You skip today’s staff meeting
so none of us can talk with you about it? We have fiftieth-anniversary
celebrations happening. There is a festival coming up. You’re in the middle of
building an already-under-contract traveling exhibit. You’re the only one who
can do this. You aren’t headed to another job. What happened to that
professionalism we all thought you had?
Ouch. This reminds me of when I resigned my job, and I wasn't heading to another. Though I gave a month's notice. Now I feel guilty! (Actually, considering everything they got out of me, not really.)
ReplyDeleteYes, a month, not two weeks when most of the two weeks is spent out of the office. Or at least I'm assuming. Do not feel guilty.
DeleteWoof. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteWow. I wonder if there is something private going on with her.
ReplyDeleteWe are wondering a lot of things, it was so sudden, unexpected, and oddly mean-spirited (out of character). And it's not a her.
DeleteWhen I first read this, I wondered if "you" was you. I can totally understand how people reach some sort of breaking point and do something that other people perceive as reckless or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWow. How inconsiderate.
