    That's awesome Matt. When it comes to talking to a current boss you need to remember how they would treat you should they fire you or more so how they've treated you the entire time you've been employed with them. If its good than be cordial, if not then...

    Hes actually a good boss. But they don't offer any benefits. And the season is only 8 month. And after my current hospital stay i kinda really need some benefits.

    And hopefully he keeps my nephew on. But I have a feeling he will let him go since I won't be here anymore. Cuz let's be honest my nephew is a dumbass. Its his second season doing this and still makes the same dumb mistakes

    Congrats Matt!

    Do you feel like you will leave your boss in the lurch?

    That's too bad about your nephew.

    You've mentioned that place couldn't survive without you...are you feeling guilty?

    Like you said, you need health insurance...which is your priority.

    Try not to feel too bad...you gotta take care of you! :curls::muscleflexing::militarypress:

    HELL YEAH!

    Wise advise, at least be polite. As a former leader of mine once said regarding an issue I had with a manager in another unit, "you never know who you will work with or who your manager is going to be tomorrow"

    Frame it that way. Something like "this is a hard choice because I do enjoy the work and you've treated me well, but I need XYZ and that's forcing my decision". Insurance is a big deal especially nowadays.
