Ask Amy: Vacation plans have expanded too far
The week before she started this new job, she got an interview for a great PA program back East.
Now — a month into her new job — she has been accepted into that PA program. She will have to move across the country and be in place 10 months from now.
The question for you is: When should she notify her new employer that she will be leaving?
— Dad
Dear Dad: Congratulations to your daughter! Her (and your) persistence paid off.
She should not feel any pressure to announce her plans until she is farther along in her current employment. Depending on the culture at the office and her relationship with her employers, I think that giving them six weeks’ notice is generous and ample, giving them time to conduct a search, and for her to potentially help to train her replacement.
Dear Amy: Each day my husband and I read your column, state our answers, and then read your response. We’re really good. You’re better. Your vision is broader.
Your response to “Sick of Being Hit Upon” is modern-day, spot-on perfect, every word.
Thanks for our fun way to start our day.
We’re learning and getting better because of your responses.
Thank you!
— Betty
Dear Betty: Wow! Thank you so much. I owe you two some donuts.
