WWYD- Leaving Job

[DWGal210]

Hi everyone, thanks again for your advice! I have decided to make Friday my last day at the office, and I'm not going back after the holidays. 2 weeks is the standard in my line of work (I am finishing up being an Administrative Assistant in an academic department at a private University), so giving 3 weeks was really a courtesy. Also, coming in a few hours here and there after the new year adds to an eventual 2014 tax annoyance (rather than a clean cut off in 2013), and I do see the University dragging their feet on getting the position posted and hired if I'm still there 'helping out'. That's not good for any body! Also, MENTALLY, I want to be fully in my new life, not still in a limbo of transition. It makes it more real in my mind by cutting the cord. It's something that I've wanted to do for 5+ years, and I finally have the guts and financial stability to DO it.

Congratulations!

I think you are making the right decision. You have already given the school plenty of notice. It is not your concern that they have not even posted the position as of yet. That is their problem.

Yeah that was my thought too.
