blaze of glory?

[cyprissa]

How and when should I tell my job to peace out? I've been there for 7 years. I'm a glutton for punishment in a co-dependent relationship with my bitch boss. I've taken on huge amounts of responsibility in the last years with very little to show for it at this point.

DH got orders to PCS to Italy and we are leaving in early June. I manage a huge 8,000 attendee which will take place in early May. I doubt they would fire me now based on how challenging it would be to get someone new up to speed.

im debating on when to let everyone know. I sort of want to tell because then it will be apparent that I give no fucks and maybe my boss will stop taking me for granted...at least for the short term. On the other hand maybe they will hire my replacement and make me train that person for like months which would be kinda annoying. Regardless, I will give plenty of notice...the shortest I was thinking was 6 weeks.

I would say a month, but be prepared for them to say you're done at any time

I would give them as much notice as I could, and not burn any bridges. You just never know.

I sort of fantasize about telling everyone to bite me but the reality is that I never would. I do care a lot about my reputation but it is fun to at least think about it. We can get by without my income but I would like to build up some extra savings for moving expenses and it is going to be a huge transition to go from 2 incomes to one since I make half of our income.
