So, you just hit the Lotto and decide the "right" thing to do is give your place of work a 2 Week Notice.
Here are a few things Ive been Pondering.....
1) Everyone will know where you work, leaving you a target with no escape! You will recieve phone calls and have people just randomly showing up. How many times have you tried avoiding someone and they choose to show up at your work? Happens to me all the time! Now you will have Media, Family, financial institutions, and anybody begging for money or has a sad sad story to sell. How much could you take? how much would your work take?
2) Are you ready for all kinds of akwardness in the way your co-workers will treat you? They are working paycheck to pacheck and working to survive and your there, why? Are they Jealous? Are they talking behind your back? Have you tried really hard not to talk about winning the lottery? Even saying you bought a new car will send thier eyes rolling. Even if they are happy for you and everything is roses, these thoughts will creep in and thats when the akwardness starts.
3) Your Boss......Will he look at your 2 week notice and tell you your services are no longer needed or will he be willing to let you work the whole 2 weeks? I find this topic interesting because essentially by winning the lotto you have one upped him. Money is success and now you have more than him. His questions will be based on.........Are you going to work or have your head up in the clouds, what will office morale be(see 2), will he be easy or harder on you, and does it matter.
Is giving a 2 week Notice even an Option? Would it be better to take off and go into hiding until the whole circus calms down? and after thinking of thses things would you put yourself in this position and why?
