Saturday job change

March 8th, 2009 at 07:03 pm

Currently I work 2 Saturday jobs, alternating at each office. A few weeks ago I found out that during the summer, we are not scheduling on Saturdays beginning in mid-May in the one office. This is the job I was looking to replace for several months now. Even though the economy is certainly not the best right now, I figured I would see if I could work every Saturday at the other job. So last Saturday when I worked there I asked the boss if I could pick up an additional 2 Saturdays/month. He said that he thought it would be possible, just had to have the receptionists take a close look at the schedule. Well, by Tuesday of this week I got a call from the office telling me that I can start every Saturday beginning in April!

This position definitely involves more of a commute, but I believe it is well worth it. I will be grossing at least $180/month more because of more hours & increased hourly rate over the job.

Now, I have the dreadful job of confronting my other boss and letting him know my future plans (which involves me working there only 1 more Saturday). I absolutely dislike confrontation like this, but then I guess no one enjoys it...

    The quicker you tell him, the better you will feel. Kind of like taking off a band aid!! It's really great news.

    creditcardfree-You are right. He won't be able to do anything about it anyhow.

    Really, all you're doing is bumping up the schedule of no Saturdays from mid-May to mid-March. He shouldn't be too upset about it, right?

    I am with CCF and the band-aid theory! The last time I had to give this type of news I was stunned by the virtual lack of response I received from the employer. She just said, "okay" and that was it! I was happy that I didn't have to offer reasons for my change. It went really well, and I am sure yours will also!
