I asked to go down in hours at my bookstore/publisher job

I was grateful for the job, and have learned a lot from the owner but she is really hard to work for. She is mean, she snaps, she shoots the messenger (me) and everything is always my fault.

With my new manager job, I don't really have the time (it's more about brain space) to do as many tasks at that job and also remain competent enough to continue being a good employee at either. Not to mention the other jobs I do.

When I asked her if I could have less hours, she said no.

So I guess I am just meant to quit, then?

I want to give my two weeks but I am intimidated by her, and I feel guilty that I take care of all of her tech and computer stuff and she doesn't know how, so if I leave, it'll be really stressful for her.

And I'm afraid she'll badmouth me to other people and we live in a small city.

I need to do what's best for me but I am being a wimp.

I wouldn't feel bad. She created her situation. If she had been smart, she would have said yes, but didn't. The burden is on her as she wanted.

@FoxyGoddess it's true. I have wanted to quit for a while but knew that it would be hard, so wanted to offer working less.

I was hoping after she had some time to think about it she would reconsider when I saw her today. But no

@caccoon You offered what you could and she declined. You can move away free and clear. You did the responsible thing. The results of her actions are not yours to worry about. ❤
