Leaving my second job earlier than intended (I gave two weeks notice about a month ago) to take an extra class. By leaving earlier than the intended date in July, I forfeited my tuition reimbursement that I would have received in June (about $900). Now, in taking the class, I find out the professor is incompetent, and between that and some other things I have going on in my life, I’m dropping the class, which I’ve already paid for, but now won’t get reimbursed for in June since I left my job…I know, probably some bad decisions all around…
