Tried to quit my "real job" in IT, and they basically asked to negotiate a part-time deal for me. The big boss supports it, but the guy in the middle is being snarky, trying to cut me off. I've been in class for CAE plus doing 40hr/week remotely. Now the middle guy informs me he either has to resolve or accept my resignation tomorrow. I gave them a "terms" outline, and told them I'm OK whatever they decide. I gave them a weeks notice before I left for class, burning vacation while they figure it out. Of course, I had to step in and put out a fire for them, and now they are giving me grief. The whole "two weeks" thing is outdated. My only concern is the reference, and I have that worked out with the big boss.
