A bit of a vent. I feel like I’m being pulled in a thousand directions and it’s extremely overwhelming between parents, partner, work, friends. I start a new role in a couple weeks, new place wants me to start earlier and current role want me to serve my full notice (serving 2 1/2 months instead of 3). The new job confirmed they would honor my holidays already booked, but they never asked for details and now I’m anxious because my holiday is two weeks after I start!

Tell the new job the details so that everyone is in the loop. Managing expectations is the key to life, personally and professionally.

Thank you. That’s where the anxiety comes in, though your response has cleared the brain fog a bit. Telling them now is definitely better than waiting for when I start! I’ll drop them an email with the details along with some questions about the first day.

All it takes is clear communication. Take your holiday and tell your new employer the dates of your holiday; how would they know what dates to honor if you haven’t communicated that with them? This should’ve been done when you initially discussed your holiday vacay with them.

As to your current employer, 2 1/2 months notice is unheard of. Unless your employer handbook says it is mandatory to put in the notice, then f*ck them. Your holiday starts now and you can put in your notice effective immediately. Alternatively, you could take a 5 week emergency leave at the current employer, and put in your resignation the last 2 weeks of your “emergency leave.” What are they going to do about it? Fire you?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
