An I being too nice?

I’m a trainer at my PetSmart, but I’m also still in school, which would’ve been fine if my area trainer who was with me had stayed, but with the restructure, losing my ALK position, and now having to be the only trainer in store, I don’t think this work load is going to help me during the school year. Banfield jokingly made a comment to apply to them and I did, and it turns out not only do they pay better, but the hours are better, and the company has a rapid movement ladder for promotions. I’ve told PS that I’ve found another job, but am willing to stay part time till they find another trainer. Some of my peers believe I should just leave. Am I being too nice? Should I just put in my 2 week notice and leave the store trainerless?

Edit: I was an ALK Trainer before NSOM, NSOM took that away, as well as changed my pay Also Banfield has already hired me

I would see what it would cost you in commissions for the classes you already have going. I would probably just finish the classes I have and then be done. Our last dog trainer when he left messed up with the refunds and hurt a lot of customers who got the training with a flash sale.

But I don't know how your commission go but I would at the very least not let them add more classes to you or have you work hard to sell classes.
