Hi guys,
I am facing a conundrum and was hoping for some insight from people more knowledgeable than myself I'm a hospitalist and recently got accepted into a fellowship program that starts this year. My job requires 120 day notice. The contract doesn't say what happens if you give less than 120 days notice. My boss is known to be pushy and try to sway people to stay longer than they intend to if they are trying to leave. He's also a bit wily. I need to be out for personal reasons by the end of February or March at the latest. So I am trying to figure out how to navigate this. On top of that, a family member will be needing my help medically, so if my boss doesn't agree to let me go within the next 60 days, I could use medical leave.
I didn't get any bonuses that I would have to pay back.
-What's the best way to navigate this?
-Talk with my boss about resignation first and see how much he will work with me? Then use medical leave to ensure I am out by the time I need to be?
-Or get on medical leave first then resign?
-Should I even tell him about the fellowship or just leave it at "my family member needs me"?
-Or is there another way to think about this that I have not considered?
-Would using medical leave go on some record that would make it trickier for me to get jobs in the future?
Any help/ insight would be much appreciated!!
