J/K I don't have morals
However, I do have an office politics issue. I wrote about this before but everyone ignores my happy threads.
The kid I got hired with is, unbeknownst to the library, quitting in December. He told me, in assumed confidence, that he already knew he'd been accepted to <college hours away from our city> when he took the interview/got the job, but didn't tell anyone and he didn't know how much notice to give as this is his first job. I told him the standard is 2 weeks notice, but a month would probably be a better idea. That was a couple of weeks ago.
Well, I get talking to the head librarian about when she would prefer I schedule my classes so I can be available for the maximum amount of hours should they need me. She said that since she doesn't know the other three pages school schedules (we're all <local college> students) she can't tell me. She really needs morning people THIS semester, but she doesn't know about next. She might be short a night person next semester, or shorted a morning person again. As far as I know I register before everyone else. I can't register later or I won't get into my classes.
Heres my issue: Do I tell my supervisor that the kid plans on quitting, thus opening up more hours and maybe pushing through the process of having people set their school schedules (or at least pick a time when they'll be in class i.e. Mornings, Evenings, Mid-day)? Or do I keep my mouth shut? I doubt they'd outright fire the kid (not that it matters), but I'd almost feel bad. Then again, I have to pay rent and he doesn't. I don't want to come off bad to my coworkers more than anything.
