Due to a lot of work drama and being pushed around, i put my two weeks notice in about a month ago. My boss had asked me to stay an extra week because the only other reliable employee was on going to be on vacation a week after I would be gone. I decided to stay that extra week because it ended that pay period and leaving with a full paycheck seemed to be a good idea. Well that last week on two separate days there were 4 of us scheduled to work, but two people were no shows so it was down the the boss and I on those days. During this time the boss (who is also the owner) told me that her and her husband had been talking and said that they would be pretty much screwed when I and the other reliable girl leave. And the other girl is moving out of state in a couple months. After making it clear that I was still leaving on what would atleast be a semi-permanent vacation she said she would be in touch and that any time i wanted to come back just to call and she would put me back on the schedule.
Well that was just about a week ago, my plan was to go back to school, right now i can get a few of the college classes that i need to finish out my bachelors degree for free. I would have to wait a couple weeks and then be in class 5 days a week pretty much all day, so that rules out a part time job. Money isn't an issue, so that wouldn't be a problem for my husband and I.
So today i went in to pick up my last paycheck, sat around and talked to the other girl that was working. She said she missed me and really wished i would come back and gave me a heads up that i will probably be asked to come back pretty quickly. Just about then the owner walks in mentions to me that her son (who helps a lot with the business) freaked out when she mentioned that i quit. And told me that she was fed up with the other people and that she may need me to come back soon cuz she cant put up with them anymore. Not only this, but she was working on a business deal where if it worked out she wouldn't be able to be in the shop very often. Now there were only 2 of us that she trusts with the keys to the business and the other girl will be gone by this time if the new stuff works out. So that leaves just me, and she made it clear that she needs me to come back.
My husband and I are hoping to move in about a year, so I'm trying to come up with the best idea for the next year. Right now I'm trying to go through the pros and cons on going back to school or back to my old job. So please put out any ideas, thoughts, or opinions out on this subject you have because right now its a toss up.
