    Human body - r/AmItheAsshole Posted by u/Justmarried2022 3 hours ago AITA for quitting work while I was on my honeymoon.

    Art - The title has the whole story. I f26 just got married to my husband 30.

    Font - I told my boss six months ago that I would be going on my honeymoon over the last couple of weeks. He approved it and I have the email to prove it.

    Font - About a month ago, two weeks before my wedding, I checked in with him that he had someone to cover my clients while I was gone. He freaked out and said that we are shorthanded right now and that it would hurt the business if I go away. I reminded him that I had given him six months notice.

    Font - That is when he said the stupidest thing I have ever heard. He said that because I gave him so much warning he didn't feel a sense of urgency and kept putting it off.

    Font - My wedding preparations have not been a secret. One of my colleagues was a bridesmaid and my boss was invited to my wedding and RSVPed his regrets he would not be attending.
  • 07
    Font - So I told him that while I understood his position, unless he was willing to pay me and my husband to go away on a whole new honeymoon, I would be going on my honeymoon. And that he needed to find someone to take my information about my clients.

    Font - He tried calling me on the Monday of the first week. I ignored it. He tried Tuesday and I answered. He wanted to know where I was. I told him I was visiting with my family in Morocco while I was on my honeymoon. He lost it. He said that we had agreed that I would postpone my trip. I asked him if he had agreed to pay for my honeymoon? He said I was being ridiculous and that there would be consequences for my career for acting so childishly.

    Font - So I quit. I said that he could consider this conversation my notice and that I would email him when I had a moment. Then I blocked his number. I emailed a friend who had been recruited to a different company in my industry and asked if he still wanted me to come work there. I had my interviews while on my honeymoon. I start after Thanksgiving.

    Font - I popped into the office on Monday to work my last two days, not really I knew my stuff would be boxed and security card deactivated. My boss told me I did this to myself and that I not be getting anything more than a basic reference from him.

    Font - I didn't mention my new job. My father said that I handled it poorly and that isn't how it's done. He isn't a boomer but he may as well be. My old boss is pissed and my dad isn't angry just disappointed. But I don't think I'm the asshole.
