[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your black and white thinking of exactly 2 weeks notice, and rigidity around not being prepared to tell her today when you have a planned meeting... should be discussed with a therapist.[/quote]
Op here- I am a single mom and I'm worried that if I gave more notice, they would tell me to just finish out two weeks and be done. My new job pays once a month on the 30th so already my next check is going to be Sept 30th and that's a long stretch for me financially without getting paid.[/quote]

Then either give 2 weeks notice on Monday when she comes back or do it today.  Is she reasonable?  Do not do it tomorrow before she goes away, it will cause stress.  If she is reasonable then she will understand and let you're last day be x day.

You don't want someone calling her for a reference and ask about notice/how you were during the notice transition and be told you told her right before a vacation.  I ALWAYS ask references about how the employee did during their transition time for leaving that role.  It tells you so much.  People also do backdoor references in my field (you don't put them down, but they contact them anyway/ see them at a function).  Back in the day when I was young I lost out on a role because of this type of reference so I learned to always try and leave on good terms/ help as much as I can with the transition. [/quote]
