It is official!

Or at least a little closer to official. My boss has committed to the following:
  • On July 1, he will either have defined my part time role or he will accept my resignation letter.
  • The week of July 7 will be spent transitioning all of my knowledge to the new MBB for one of my roles- regardless of their actual start date.
  • The week of July 14 will be spent transitioning a project to one of my BBs and transitioning my staff to my boss.
  • I will be paid as a Full Time employee during the transition time, even though I will only be doing only as much as I have to do.
  • July 18 will either be my last day or the start of my part time role.
I was very blunt. And I sent him an e-mail last night so that he could be prepared enough to cover all of the transition plans in 30 minutes. I'm still disappointed that he had 4 months to deal with this and still didn't take care of his side of the deal until I forced the issue. One more confirmation of my opinion of corporate life.... But he knows that I won't stay on full time. We'll see what happens next!

Hey, thanks for this. Whew! We were just talking last night about what the outcome had been. So now the question is just whether or not they want to keep you part time.

I think it's a budget question. The big boss had us all fill out "time estimates" on project work. He is talking about billing for some of those hours. That usually means a $ crunch, so that may impact my ability to stay. On the other hand, having a 20 hr/week"floater" could be nice for them in that situation. No way to know.... I'm just sheeping it, as best I can!

To be honest Angela, if they went on to start charging out your time would be super simple to get the biz to pay for. Am more worried about all the other staff hanging about doing duck all to the best of my knowledge.

Dont go soft on him! He doesnt deserve it after wasting 4 mths of your life...

Don't worry. I'm not feeling particularly soft about any of this. Annoyed, yes. Disappointed that he was unable to manage this without blunt intervention (as opposed to prior subtle prompting), yes. Soft, not so much////
