[quote=Anonymous]Because telling someone "I find your overbearing and your children are not kind to each other and have no schedule" feels mean when you are leaving. "You job creep all the time and don't care about my schedule or the fact that I am punctual and never call out" does not feel fruitful when you have no intention of staying and just want a graceful exit. Even "I think we have grown apart" or "this job is not really meeting my needs anymore" feels hard when you just want out. So, family emergency is "easier" and allows an easy, no push back, no angry feelings exit on all sides.

She may also have not lied. She may have had a family emergency (sick parent who passed quickly, sister in abusive relationship who moved in with them) and either it is resolved and she needed a new job or it is not resolved but she wanted something that would be easier to manage. I know being with kids all day is hard and demanding and can be frustrating. She might have just wanted to sell blenders and pans at Macy's and not have to give so much emotionally while dealing with a family issue.

She was also probably not interested in getting into any of the specifics while at her new job, so she just hustled away. [/quote]
