[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had to quit and we always ended things on a good note. My new position is not working out for me. I have been with them for two months. MB is generally always late even though she works 8 blocks from her home. I have done many duties outside of what was expected and MB has just stopped being appreciative of it. The reason why I am quitting is I came down with a bad flu bug last week. I missed 3 days. That Friday MB and DB told me they were worried I was not interested in continuing to work for them because I missed days. They basically accused me of lying that I was sick just so I didn't have to go into work. They went on and on about how they are worried I missed those days because I don't like them. I am beyond upset because they basically called me a liar. It was going pretty good besides MB being late but I have been livid.

I plan to quit this Friday but I don't know he or what to say. I just can't work in a position where my bosses think I'm a liar and not into the position. I never gave that indication and for them to say it must be them is BS. I stay at least 15-20 minutes talking with MB about random things. Now I feel very uncomfortable and don't want to stay. Help me learn how to quit. [/quote]

Hmmm... hard to say without being there, but they sound like first time parents and first time employers, is that right? This might be salvageable.

The conversation they had with you leads me to think they're feeling insecure about themselves as employers- like they think they've done something wrong that lead you to lose interest- now, you say you would not do that and I believe you, but this is still a new position/relationship, so they don''t necessarily feel confident of that fact quite yet, especially if they're feeling unsure of themselves. Not saying they went about it right, but it might be a miscommunication- but you're the only one who was there, so feel free to correct me :)

As far as her being habitually late (if you feel the other issue can be conquered), you should sit down with them and discuss how everything has gone so far. Suggest that they extend your hours (and your pay!) so that there is ample time for her to get home and you to inform her of the day's happenings without infringing on your evening.

Also, STOP doing things that are not part of your job. That's just asking for burnout.

Good luck in whatever you decide!
