Morning all,
I am about to leave my job to become a full time carer for my 2 (soon to be 3) kids. My wife already does this and claims the relevant benefits so it's just a case of signing me up for carers allowance too.
On to my question! I've only had one job before this one, and handed my written notice to the manager in person (retail shop) and it wasn't very fun. Currently in an office job, my manager is the other end of the room in his own office. Can I just email my resignation? I know it will then prompt a chat but I think I would rather that then instigate it myself and do it verbally.
I've gone over the scenario as many times as I can and asked my wife countless times about the process. Any advice welcome on this and how to survive the month long notice period of them going into chaos. (It's a small team)
I will just do the direct social way if it takes the shortest amount of time just to get it over with tbh. Because being autistic I dread having to have a 5 to 30 min phone call or irl chat, but, because I have ADHD too it's not as much as I dread having to sit for an hour writing an email just to say more or less the exact same things and take even longer to do it because one hour doing a boring task easily turns into a whole day and then I have got absolutely nothing else done that day. I always feel so much better after it's done and dusted too, like a weight has been lifted off my soul.
How interesting. I also have Autism & ADHD but will still do whatever I can to avoid social interaction. Though had noticed after taking medication for ADHD I was better at handing social situations i.e phone calls.
I definitely agree with the weight, right now I can feel the burden in my chest.
