Work dilemma. Halp.

[vicky]

Just go. Keep the new job under wraps until you are comfortable with sharing. The conference may benefit you in the future as far as learning about your trade.

Wait to put your two weeks in until you have two weeks, unless you can go without the money for a while because they could just let you go.

If you tell them now you run the risk of them replacing you now and having no income until June. I would continue working as normal (which would include going to the conference) until you are ready to give your two week notice.

[5hole]

Yeah, I would wait. Gain the knowledge for your new job, and enjoy a week away from a toxic environment.

Go!

Go!

Go. I made the (kind of) mistake of refusing training because I was planning for a new position (and explaining why) and my boss let me go way before I was "ready". It worked out well for me in the end, but if you can't afford to be unemployed until June, stay quiet.

thanks for the feedback. I just needed some outside perspective. we are in the process ofbuying a house so I'd rather not lose the income.

[fuckyourcouch]

yeah, this is not a dilemma. go.

[sparkythelawyer]

Go to the conference.  Consider it an opportunity to make the company pay for you to learn something. 

[azurely]

Yes, you should go. Enjoy the conference and put in your two weeks when you are ready.

[partiallysunny]

GO!

[cheeseandcrackers]

Def go

Plus, you really don't want to have to explain the gap in employment, underwriters are ruthless these days. Definitely go and enjoy it being on their dime

[speckledfrog]

I would definitely go. AT my former job almost everyone who gets pregnant leaves (it's a preschool with no infant care) so before I announced my pregnancy I went to a conference and renewed as many certifications as I could.
