I have a dilemma I need help with. So put your helpful caps on and give me advice. But first let me say Nikki over at Now What the Hell do I do? Is giving away a peice of her Homemade Jewelry for Mothers Day! So go enter.
Okay now back to my problem.
As you all know I am leaving my current job at #1 Jewelers, where I am a part time sales associate, and going to work full time as an Assistant Manager at #2 Jewelers.
Also something to know is the Regional Manager for #2 is the former Regional for #1. So without getting into all the drama it's not a comfy situation between my current employer and my soon to be employer. And the RM for #2 is married to the boss I had before the boss I have now. The boss I have now doesn't really like her .
But anyway I'm getting distracted with all the details.
Obviously I am going to give my two week notice, I would never just quite. But I don't want to tell my boss where I am going. And if I knew I could get away with not telling I would. But the Jewelry world is kind of small with people from both stores knowing and talking to each other and I'm sure it'd come out before my two weeks were up and there for be worse than if I just told her.
The thing is my boss is a very ..... well she takes her job very personal. And I know she'll take it as a personal slight that I'm leaving, especially to work for my previous boss.
I mean my boss now kinda views herself as a motherly (abet a mean one) to me. She's always buying me dinner and giving me clothes. Yup, I'm not joking. She spends to much money all the time. Then she'll tell me she doesn't like it anymore and give it to me. She's given me $150.00 boots, Ann Taylor clothes, Nine West shoes. You know I won't be wearing anything from her when I give my notice. lol.
I just don't know. What should I do? Me and my boss have kind of a love hate thing going on. I mean she is a horrid bitch a lot of times, but so am I. And I know in her way she cares about me and this will really hurt her.
And not to mention one of my closest friends is my Assistant Manager now and I know she's gonna take a lot of shit when I leave. Our boss is going to assume she knew the whole time and kept it from her and there for she'll get the shit end of everything for awhile. Our boss can hold a grudge.
I don't know that there is really any solution to my dilemma but to be honest...but I just thought I'd ask for any advice that might be out there.
Come on I need help here. Where are all my peeps? I feel neglected here.
Oh and I am taking a big chance here, maybe a stupid one, cause I was looking at my Active Meter and there are two readers from my exact area of home and work....hmmmm....what are the chances???

Be honest...sort of.
Go along the lines of going where the money is. You want to buy a house somewhere down the road and need more money, blah, blah, blah. You need more responsibility, blah, blah, blah Just don't leave in a way that will slam any future doors for you. No need to knick your own ass.
Exactly, cause I am not trying to leave with any hard feelings. I love my peeps there, this is just a better oportunity for me. What am I supposed to do right? Thanks girl.
Yeah, I agree. Just say that going to this other store is the best move for your family.
P.s love the new look!
Thanks Chantal. Oh and I soooo need help with the new look. So email me!!! PLEASE!
1) I really like your new digs here lady.
2) Just tell them the truth, you're moving, you're wanting to buy a house, these are all the things you need to do for your family. Just cuz she gave you her castoffs doesn't mean you are indebted to her.
Just don't get bitchy.
Just don't get bitchy
I will continually chant that in my head as I talk with her. lol. I'll need to for that conversation.
Thanks.
Figured you'd need the reminder......
yeah, what everyone else said. at the end of the day, you're not doing it to spite her, your doing it because its the right opportunity thats come along at the right time, and although you're grateful for everything shes done for you, you cant stay just because of that.
Good luck when you come to do it.
