And I should change this HOW?

 

Dear Mrs. XX XXX:

Please accept this letter as notification that I am leaving my position with XXX on May 1st, 2007.

I'm sorry to put you in this position but at this time this job is just not right for me. I took this position, leaving another, under the impression I'd have better hours so I could spend more time with my family. When we started we were told we'd have 2 weeks of days, 2 weeks of nights, and every other weekend off. At no point when I signed on with VAS was I told that day shift was any time before 12PM and nights any time after 12PM. That didn't come to light until a month or so after I'd started. I have taken the liberty of attaching my last 2 months schedule along with this email. For the last two months I have not been home for supper (6PM) with my family ANY day I have worked my scheduled shift, not once. If I wasn't scheduled for 6 or 6:30PM I was scheduled for 11:45AM as my day shift, which made it so I wasn't off until atleast 8:15. I have kids to raise, and these hours make it nearly impossible. With children that are young I don't see them for more then a half hour a day, while I get them ready to go off to school. They go to bed at 8PM and I don't get home after working my "day shift" until 9PM. I can't even help them with their homework, and they are the ones suffering more then any one. And to add insult to injury, Shane and I are not even on the same days off. Being as I have no method of transportation, I am stuck at work or home all of the time, even on my days off. And lets face it, its not really THAT hard to have 2 people, even in opposite positions, on the same schedule as far as days on/off. Not to mention the fact I am continuously scheduled for 8 or more days in a row, which as I am sure you know is against the labour laws. These hours just no longer are working for me and its too stressful for me to stay where I am. Its not that I don't enjoy working here, or that I don't like the people, it's that it is all too much.

If I can be of assistance during this transition, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Jamie Dawson

Sounds pretty good to me Jamie, I would maybe not go into so much detail...unless you are trying to get them to change your schedule as a last resort.  Hope this means I won't get any Jamie time after May1st though! Ha ha!
