Professionals, I need advice about leaving my position

My boss is very impressed with my work, so I want to do this in a way that lets me keep an outstanding reference.

The exact date of the move isn't firm yet. It's "last week of June, first week of July", so as soon as my wife hear's the exact date they want her to start, I'll probably give notice.
 
Do you have kids?
Are you and your wife originally from Almeda?
Just curious, as I was in a similar situation a few years back.
 
I think that you should do what's best and ask him everything out in front and maybe something can work out, you'll never know. Best to open up now because if something goes wrong you'll know that gave what you can to benefit others. Especially if you have strong connection with your boss, i know you'll want to have that in you forever. :)
 
Atlanta....cool! eerrr, I mean Hot! Folks around here call it Hotlanta! :grinyes:

Good luck to you and glad you are moving over to this side of the country.
 
Also, you'll probably be wanting references from your current employer for your future employment. He'll be thinking a lot more kindly about the extra advance notice, no doubt about it.

I agree with this, I would recommend being honest and up front. Do you have any reason to think that your employer would treat you poorly? If you have had a good working relationship, I would give him teh benefit of the doubt.

Do I give my boss notice now so that there's plenty of time to transition my duties, take the vactaion, and then leave the company two weeks later and feel like a bad person?

Except don't feel like a bad person! No reason to. You're entitled to take the trip that you planned. You earned your vacation based on length of service. No employee stays forever, and the more notice your boss has, the better. If your boss will be hurting from you leaving, the more time he has to transition someone, the better for him and the company. Most companies traditionally expect 2 weeks notice. You'll be giving him a lot more than that. It still won't be enough time to make it a painless (for the boss) separation, but he should really appreciate the extra advance notice. In my corporate world this would be the best approach.:)

Congrats and good luck!!

tell them.. and still take your vacation... your gonna look like a BIG jerk if you go on vacation and never come back

but if you tell them that you need to leave.. and you also still need the vacation-- your gonna get a good reference for giving notice.. and the vacation shouldnt matter because you ALREADY earned that
 
My Grandpa was a big tax accountant, that was a vital asset to the company he worked for

he retired a few years back.. gave notice 3 months ahead.. and spent his last month using paid vacation days

nobody looked down on him.. you have earned them-- so use them or they go to waste
