I’m planning on quitting my job but I am working out of town. I have a couple of interviews lined up in a different city but I am on the tail end of a large construction project which I am in the field managing. I feel like I’m having to babysit the project Monday-Saturday 7AM - 5PM. It’s becoming unbearable. How do I juggle interviewing when I am extremely busy on the jobsite and working in one of the most toxic environments I’ve ever been in. I don’t want to ruin relationships but I have to go

Take a day or two off. It's your PTO. The project will be there when you come back.

Most companies are doing virtual/phone interviews for the first step right now- maybe get through a few of those and then you’ll know if it’s worth taking time off.

Yeah take PTO or something. I usually try to schedule interviews like early in the morning or in the last hour of the day. I would either come an hour late or leave an hour early or so. Don’t have to take a full day leave. Usually Hiring managers are pretty flexible.

It doesn’t surprise me but the overall things that happen behind the scenes just for people to get decent work and stay in business just wow…
