As of now, the plan is for me to quit my job at the end of January, to focus on my art. H believes I can make more money arting, and well, I'd like to at least give it chance. We're also planning to start TTC later in the year, earlier if we decide not to travel to Japan in the fall.
My dilemma is, our department has 4 people. 4 is a relatively new change, for the longest time we only had 3. 4 people makes scheduling a lot easier. My one coworker though, is due at the beginning of February (Surprise pregnancy. she found out when she was 5 months along). Which means our 4 person department would go down to 2 people. 2 people is not fun for scheduling. Both of my other coworkers are older, and one still has a kid at home. I like my job. I like my coworkers, and a major reason I haven't quit yet is, it's pretty dick to quit during the holiday season and inventory. I've discussed this a bit with my pregnant coworker, and she thinks I should give at least a months notice. I'm now wondering, if in addition to that months notice, if I should offer to stay on to help train or help with coverage until a new person is found and comfortable enough to be on the floor by themselves. H scheduled a trip for us at the end of January/beginning of February a few months ago, so I need to be off those 2 weeks, but could easily work a few shifts or whatever to make the transition easier for everyone else anytime thats not those two weeks.
Thoughts? Am I overthinking this?
