Archived quit job or take an loa

[Tay2323]

I've been with Target for 5 years and I recently got a job offer and I'm considering either putting my two weeks in or doing an LOA.
I of course would not tell Target that I got a new job if I were to take a LOA. Would saying personal reasons be okay? Or since I'm in school, should I say an educational LOA?
I've also thought about working one day a week instead.
I really don't know what to do.
Can anyone offer any advice on what I should do?

I would go the 1 day a week/few weeks route. We have several team members who do this and can work more during holidays etc.. it also helps for when they need to call people in and if you dont have anything to do.

Go LOA and then ditch them if your other job works out.

Educational loa. They can’t turn it down.

So they turned down my one day a week request...Has anyone had to deal with doing an LOA? What should I expect and how long does it take to get approved?

Also we have no HR right now so no one has been able to give me a clear answer on exactly what to do...
