Today at the restaurant, I gave my boss notice that I couldn't work there anymore. As much as I've enjoyed the experience, I have my priorities set. Studying for my CPA exam and taking my Becker classes come first. I recently scheduled two tests in July, and two in August, so they're coming up soon. Also, my classes are becoming more and more intensive, and I need that extra time to make sure I'm successfully absorbing the material.
As I contemplated leaving, I spoke with my parents about how to break the news to my boss. They told me that it was important to preserve my reputation and reminded me not to burn any bridges. To be perfectly honest, I was just going to tell them "I have to quit" and let it be at that, because this job was just a fun way for me to earn some extra cash for the summer. However, I listened to my parents' advice and gave my notice, so I'll be at the restaurant for at least the rest of the week. Lucky for me, my boss was really understanding, and since I was only working part-time, it shouldn't be too hard for them to fill the holes I'm gonna leave in the schedule. She definitely appreciated me giving her notice- it sucks to get hung out to dry.
As I'm sure many of you know, things can get kinda complicated when you decide to quit your job. It's very easy to just walk away and never look back, but in the end, I think a little courtesy can go a long way.
