Advice
So I'm in need of an opinion. Sorry this is so long.
Back story. I went back to an old part time retail job since they were short staffed. I was very upfront about my limited availability with my other job and education. I repeatedly said if it was an issue not to hire me. They hired me anyways but it was a constant battle. Always asking if I could work more than what I committed to and then giving grief when I said I could not.
The past few months, I have had to call off work more than I ever had due to a family death, sickness, and bad weather conditions.
Fast forward to today, I said that I couldn't come in since we had a weather storm warning and road conditions are bad. I have a 45 minute commute. Two other managers were on the schedule.
The manager texted me saying
Really. It's raining. Would you rather just not work here? I don't understand.
I said this back
The weather channel says that travel will be very difficult and there will be freezing. All of the rain will turn to ice. I do not feel comfortable driving when it will be the worst conditions of the day.
Since this is an issue, as well my limited availability, I suppose it would be best to resign. I will email an official resignation letter.
She then called me.
This was the conversation
She asked if I was giving two weeks notice. And I said no because of the lack of my availability. She said she didn't understand and I said my limited availability has been a constant issue. She started crying. I said it wasn't anything personal. Then she said she was disappointed in me. And I said well that's okay. Then she hung up.
Then a few hours later she texted me saying I should give two weeks.
My dearest friend and boyfriend and my mom say that I am not in the wrong and that she should not have spoke to me that way. And I agree. But I am having a hard time with myself for not giving proper notice. All of my responses were kind and professional.
What would you do? I am open to all insight and also if I am in the wrong.
