How to tell my boss I'm applying to MBA - Need recommendation letter
[#permalink]

Hi everyone,
I'm am currently applying to an MBA for a 2021 intake. I've worked for almost 4 years, always at the same company. I have discussed with my direct supervisor about my plans because he is really open minded and I knew he would have supported me. In fact, he said he was really happy to write the recommendation letters for my application.
On the other hand, I have still to talk with my partner about it; actually when I joined the company I told her that I was going to apply for an MBA in 4-5 years and the time has come, but she was not so happy to hear that and she said she couldn't understand the reasons behind my plan (I'm Italian, it is not common to apply for an MBA if you're not an MBB). She is anyway my first choice as the second person to write recommendation letters. I'm going to apply in Round 1, so deadlines are in September.
How would you recommend to approach the topic? Or should I wait to talk to her and think about other solutions for my letters?
Thanks in advance!
