Oh Crap!

I just found out that Director Dan has resigned. His last day is Friday.

This is not very good news because I've been working with him to build our working relationship to a point where, in December, I could ask him to support my plan to go back to school full time.

With him out of the picture, my situation becomes much more precarious. The chances of me losing my job or having to resign in January are greatly increased.

I'm going to talk to him today about my plan and get his thoughts.

I'm totally freaked, though.

Update: I spoke with Director Dan about his departure and I told him about my plan to go back to school and he said that he would let his boss know that he and I had agreed to allow me to flex my schedule to go back to school.

We'll see how it turns out.

Still freaked.

Don't sweat it. How much of your job can be done by someone else at the company? If the answer is "Not much", then you're in the clear. It costs almost 30k to advertise, interview, and cover the new opening. It'll probably only cost the company 6-10k to send you to school over the course of a few years. A much better proposition from a cost-benefit point of view.
