When I gave my last employer the courtesy of a 2-weeks notice (before leaving to start my own company), the CEO got really irate with me. I was a branch manager and had been very professional; I even prepared a turnover binder and communication to send to clients to let them know about my departure.
When he got to the part about me not being "grateful" for all the money they were paying me (I actually took a step BACK in pay to move into the job because I wanted the experience working as an executive), I told him "That two week's notice is now a two hour's notice. Today is now my last day."
2 week notice is now to day notice cause I'm out 😂
My buddy worked in IT. When he got screwed over he deleted all the documentation that he ever wrote(that they never appreciated) and walked out the door. Screw these companies,they treat us like sub humans.
Appropriate response.
Good
I texted my boss after work that I was quitting.
Business burn bridges with employees and customers all the time.
Well, as a customer, I'll never buy/do business with them. Seen some of 'em
i have a list of clapbacks when i experience bullying on the consumer side because these places are out of control with the toxicity
It doesn't count when THEY do it.
@@sandymakesplansplease share
What about the "bridge burning" that occurs when you leave or get laid off from an organization on good terms. But they won't even bother calling you back for an interview even years down the road for a new role. Its almost a slap to the face. especially more so if you left years ago on your own and on good terms
“We’ve paid you, mostly on time”😅
literally my old boss
funfact: Wage theft is the form of theft that couses the most damage anually. employers steal more from their workers then any crime syndicate and worse then all robbery combined.
My first job at 13 in 1979... lol😅😅😅😅
Imagine going to the branch the check was written on an thenm telling you insufficient funds. Then calling your your manager to explain what that really means because you're 13 after all. Apparently they were bad about transferring enough money into the payroll account. Learned to cash my check the day we got.
My school treasurer had to call the President of the company directly about it because it didn't have all of my tuition money because my last check still hadn't cleared. He was a major donor to the school which is how I found the job. That first year we were paid late probably a good 12 weeks. Thankfully we were paid weekly.
What more do you want?..
@@SrChaliceI hope you guys know this actually is majorly accurate for certain jobs you get
Two Week Notice is a thing of the past. You called me down to HR on Friday and told me to bring a box. You had security walk me out. I am returning the same courtesy.
I have always said that you don't give two weeks for the company you are leaving, you give two weeks for the company you are joining.
Unless of course, you are starting your own company in which case give two weeks because that might not work out.
@@Koppu1doragon when I left my previous job, this is exactly why I gave a 2 weeks notice. I didn't care about the company I was leaving, but I didn't want the company I was joining to think I was the kind of person who would leave without notice
You're only a robot to them @@alexray230
Right
@alexray230 but you don't have to really give 2 weeks...you can just say you are to the new company and take that time for yourself
i stopped giving two weeks notice a long time ago. no job that asks for two weeks notice gives anyone two weeks notice before they fire them, so fuck em.
Only my first job gave me 3 months notice I was being laid off, and the owner was the only other person there. Every corporate place I worked escorted people out of the building after telling them.
If they need a 2-week notice, we need a severance if they give us less.
I had a job that asked for a 30 days notice!🤣 If not they will not consider me for future employment.
In Europe the notice period is mandatory for employees and employers 😂
In Europe it can reach 2 months notice if you’ve been working for more than 2 years on the company.
Europe sound a bit extreme. But how is the employer treatment towards the employees? Is your job reliable or they can fire you on the spot? Is constant laidoff a thing in Europe? You have sick days and vacations to use? I have so many questions.
@@kimc813 I will talk mainly about western Europe (France/Belgium/Netherlands). Employer treatment is not too bad thanks to local and EU regulations. They can fire you only with a notice period, going from 2 weeks to 4+ months depending on your seniorority. The unemployment benefits are more than enough to survive, and in addition to the unemployment money you also have other advantages like free/cheap public transportation, trainings (languages, IT, etc...), lowered prices for some services. If you have problems paying bills while unemployed, you can always ask social services for help (like gaz/electricity bills). The days of vacation days depend on the country (minimum 20 for Belgium, 30 for France). Whenever you're sick for a few weeks, you are paid 100% by the employer. If you are sick mid to long-term, the government pays around 80% of your salary while you're sick and can't work. Also keep in mind that no matter if you're employed, unemployed, a student... you are always covered by the public health insurance
@@kimc813 Now all of this is very nice on paper, but the moment you start earning more money, problems appear. The taxes go up like crazy, you are not eligible for some government help (like gaz/electricity), also having a side hustle is not worth it.. It is even worse for freelancers.
Bosses when the team member asks for something: _If you don't like it there's the door._
Bosses when the team member walks the door: _How dare you._ 😱
Exactly. Boss told me to go back home if I didn't want to risk my license driving an unfit vehicle. So I left. He changed his mind and told me to stay. I declined. 0 days later I was put on probation for 2 days. Came back, to missing requirements to work there. Soooo I gave my resignation letter, immediately!
If it's so brazen, use it to your advantage.
My ex boss told everyone in a meeting once "If you don't like how i run things around here, you can get the hell out and leave!"
14 people got up and left the company lmao and its a fairly small firm of 21 people including the boss XD
My contract security mgr, federal DHS agency had his state security license DENIED 🚫. He changed his company name & relocated 🤔. When your own company CEO, mgr can't be a employee-security officer that's pathetic.
Exactly
😂 love how he keeps rambling even after the employee left.
they never listen anyway
lmao, they never do.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
I once quit a crappy holdover job that was abusive of their power without notice. I clearly remember the manager saying, "Well if you do this you will not be eligible for re-hire" and the look on his face when I said, "You think I would ever choose to re-apply for this place?" was priceless.
I was 2-1/2 years at a job that a boss didn't want to me leave from, but I had to when it got too neglectful. He won't hire me back even as a freelancer.
I think he meant at your next job opportunity. He's talking about when you put that job on your resume/application the next place uses it for references. You do know they call your old jobs and ask about your work ethnic, right?
"You're burning bridges"
Good, that rickety piece of shit was a safety hazard for the next person to walk on it.
I like to imagine it's the closing shot of a movie....blazing bridge in the background while i ride off to my future 😎
Lol better to be burnt down than walked across again.
For real.
"We paid you less than you made for us. You owe us!"
2 week notice just gives them 2 weeks to dump on you, blame you, try to get revenge on you, and try to ruin your plans.
What do you mean
@@criptik5208 you’ve never had a genuinely shitty upper management, have you?😅
@@criptik5208 A lot of techie places will escort you out early, they will pay you for the two weeks. They like the “team” to see you being escorted, childish -yes.
I believe this happened to me. I gave a 2 weeks, I got an interview and believed I had the new job, bosses knew which job, all the sudden no explanation I did not get job.
Quit, no 2 weeks, got different better job.
@@AFuller2020 Not just tech places. I got a promotion at my current company and my last boss was so childish. He threatened to extend my time in his department, keep my badges and sent passive aggressive emails. On my last day,he told the cleaning lady that I better not leave early. Bosses are some of those most childish people when you leave.
My favorite is when it’s toxic and they decide to treat you even worse since you decided to put in your 2 week notice.
My workplace wasnt as toxic as it was simply dysfunctional. But when I put in my notice, for the first time ever they started trying to micromanage me and put deadlines on my work. When I accused them of trying to milk every last drop out of me they acted insulted.
@Earth yeah, Walmart isn’t the best. I was top level technician at a distribution warehouse and they were trying to force me to work the night shift. I put in my 2 weeks notice after I had to use my sick time because of my dads passing. During my 2 weeks notice I was helping complete preventative maintenance procedures and finished roughly 1 week in and was fired the next day. Even though I had already told the job I was starting I wanted to give my employer a full 2 weeks it almost never works out that way.
Giving a month was worst decision I ever made after chasing my ex. 😅
@@joshh6483 Yeah. At this point, in this society, do what works for you. If it’s not a job that’s paying you six figures and they’re treating you like crap they don’t deserve the grace of knowing you’re leaving.
Wtf is up with that.
Employers do not care about burning bridges, they know suckers aka people are being born every day and someone new will just take what you didn't want at less pay and be none the wiser.
The only job I left with no notice told me I'd "never work for them again" I just said I was glad I made that point clear.
Yeah, that's kind of the point of me leaving in the middle of the day lol.
Lol
Is that what ppl do nowadays? Quit and then ask to come back? I must be old-school bcuz I've never heard of anyone doing that. The problem with quitting with no notice is when you apply somewhere else then that new job uses your past jobs as references before they decide to hire you. They will call your past jobs and ask about your work ethnic.
Here's a tip: Read your employment contract. In the US, nearly all employment contract has a line that says "employment is at will". If you leave without notice, you're not breaking ANY rules. Don't feel bad either, because your company can also fire you for any reason without notice.
It's funny how the employee is considered unprofessional and not eligible for rehire. When all they did was follow the company rules on At Will Employment.
@@skyranger1366 Company management operates on double standards. What a surprise.
Even if your employment contract doesn't say that if you live in a right to work state employment is often "at will" for both parties. Meaning you can quit at any time without notice, and you can get let go at any time without notice or cause - but still not for protected classes such as race, religion, etc.
XD my first job be like: "I'll write you down so you can never be hired here again."
Me: oh, well that's fine. If we want to be toxic about it, I'm getting a job with 401k benefits, life insurance and health insurance where I have no copays. I'm also set on 40 hrs a week and $20/hr flat. Sooo I don't care 😘
Them: "this is your first job! You're young! You don't know what you're doing."
Me: you're serious? Uhhh 3 years at a fast food establishment.... I'm ready to move on to studying bugs at their base pay. Lol
That's good. Don't bathe in the achievement too long. Set a goal, like breaking six figures in three years. Or something like that.
That's awesome
You must have had that conversation in your head, SO many times. Good for you for finally having a moment to use it.
I’ve left many places, they’re still running. Everyone is replaceable.
last job i that quit, my supervisor literally threatened me like he wanted to fight me. in response, i calmly ask him, "do you want me to clock out?".
he froze and just stared at me like a deer in the head lights. he was expecting me to play his narcissistic games i guess.
i went and clocked out right then and never went back. thing is, i was the most competent worker of the bunch. i received a bunch of text messages asking me to at least give him two weeks notice and stating that i was treated "nothing but fairly" and they don't deserve me quitting like that. lol.
My case wasn't as hostile, but it was a similar kind of deal. I was the top performer and the numbers proved it, so the manager wanted me to delay my plans to resign. When I considered how awkward my last two weeks would be after refusing to stay longer, I decided to turn in my badge and not even show up the next day.
Make sure you send an email letting them know you voluntarily quit, and cc that email to your personal, non work related email. That way if they turn around and "fire" you then you have legal recourse.
This is what i did btw
What recourse? It’s a job, you think the billboard lawyer will take up your case for free?
@@AFuller2020 yes? Most labor lawyers work on contingency, meaning they take a cut of the winnings and nothing if they lose. If you have an open and shut case they’ll usually take you.
Unemployment I think you meant. Can't get it if you quit, but do something that would make them leave you.
@@seyumaiayami3536 Oh no, depending on your profession retaliatory firing can be very harmful. Most of the very good paying jobs do a background check. It's better to have a paper trail and prove them a liar, then having to deal with them in labor court.
“You need to respect your elders“ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that coke stash was pretty great
A former employer of mine tried to guilt trip me... It was so pathetic. "You're leaving me? Over money?"
"Uh... Yeah"
I had a somewhat similar response when I mentioned to a shift lead that while I believe in a strong work ethic, I don’t believe in picking up the slack for others, whether they’re here or not
“Well I always have to pick up the slack for others”
“But you chose to be in a leadership position. And you get paid way more than I do”
“So this is just about money to you?”
“Well, yeah. When I accept a job, I’m selling my labor”
“You’re sounding ungrateful. You should be thankful you have this job”
“Why? I can pay my bills and still have money left over just from my other job. I literally don’t need this money to pay my bills”
After a few seconds of silence, I said “the company is not loyal to me and I’m not loyal to the company. This is just a business transaction. I get paid to do the job of one person, so I’m only going to do the job of one person. Want me to do more? Then pay me more”
The only reason I’m still there now is because the shift lead got transferred out of state. I will not stand idle while someone tries to gaslight me
Hahaha yeah, its just business, nothing personal
This would’ve never happened if they had that pizza party
I can't believe this comment. lmfao you are speaking to my heart!! A while back I went to my boss discussing all the issues in my department. Her response was if I could just cheerlead everyone to push through a difficult time they would throw us a pizza party.... I was dumbfounded! The fact that they would try to act like a pizza party would make 4 months of being overworked and underpaid better. We were not high schoolers! everyone we worked with was a full grown adult
I NEVER understood requiring 2 week notice when I can be fired overnight. It’s just bad form. JOIN A UNION!
Indeed. It is just crazy how they treat people!
A union doesn't solve all your problems.
Florida is a "at will" state. You can be let go for nearly any reason. If you apply to a job, be sure to read over the employee HR forms 📂 many 2020s era firms add SOPs about lawsuits, EEO complaints, pay issues 🏦.
@@phantom8926well it sure helps with a few of them, and that's a start.
@@DavidLLambertmobileFlorida At will is another form of low wage, slave state.
Put in a 2 weeks at my last job because they'd been good to me, I was just sick of the industry I was in. They went from overall pretty nice to belligerent towards me over every little thing, and I put up with it for a week before I just cut contact and stopped going in.
"this is my last day" feels sooooo good. The "you can't just leave that easily, there's paperwork!" response is also hilarious. I guess you'll be filling that out yourself because I'm out. hahahahahah
I love how an employee has to give two weeks notice, but the company can ace you at the drop of a hat.
Just stop showing up, seen plenty of people do it and get better jobs.
Thank you for everything, Josh. After watching your videos I realised that I need to take of myself the best way possible. I tripled my salary within the year.
At my last position (which was a very toxic corporate environment) I gave them a month's notice. My manager was very understanding and professional, and I thank him for it, but the director above him had a ridiculous reaction. He acted like I owed them my life because they hired me and "invested their time in my development" which was absolute BS because there was no on-the-job training. They just threw me into projects that had nothing to do with my actual job title.
Welcome to my world
@@MJ98.You gotta get outta there
@@chrism6880 yep
bosses are so dumb. I hope some day I will be the boss that is understanding and good to his employees. I wanna be the ceo that people admire to work for, unlike most bosses now of days.
Enjoy bankruptcy and being step over 😂
This is why you'll never be in charge. Enjoy running the company into the ground. Only when you've been worked over and become completely jaded, no longer giving a care about anyone other than yourself will you be put in charge. Why do you think your employer cares so little about you in the first place?
You do not become the CEO by being amicable and agreeable. You become a CEO by being disagreeable and ruthless. At the end of the day it's just business.
Nothing in this world is stopping you from starting an S Corps and learning VERY quickly how jaded a lot of middle managers are
Being a good leader doesn't always mean you gotta be a yes person or rubber stamp for anyone. I gotta have grit
"We've paid you, mostly on time." Has anyone else ever had a paycheck bounce before?
I did…crazy ain’t it, I was sent the bounced payroll check
My first one at my current job due to them "changing accounts"
Not bounce just not paid on time because we switched to a different company. Also had time when my hours were missing...😮💨
I quit a dealership one time and the general manager told me “you know, we’ve invested a lot in you in this last year and a half…”
Really? Cuz I was only there for 8 months and received zero training. If my name wasn’t on my shirt, he would have never known it.
I just did this yesterday, no 2 weeks notice as the boss was toxic af, best I've felt in a while.
👏🏼
2 weeks notices like tips are voluntary courtesies. They're not required and you really don't get negative consequences.
Especially if you already have the new job and have no plans of ever going back to the old job.
"You're burning a bridge." Thank God!
About time you noticed.
I like playing with fire 🔥😎
"Too bad you're not on it."
Yet they can fire you without giving you a 2 week notice
The funniest part is how he says: "You can go back to your cubicle and I will pretend you never told me you are going to quit" Door closes. Then it opens again, and same story begins.
This is some unintentional comedy which will loop that video forever. Groundhog day style.
If a company isn't required to give you notice, you shouldn't give them notice. If they want you to have to give notice, then they have to give you something for it like.... Oh I don't know... A NOTICE PERIOD?
My biggest problem with the two weeks notice is that even though it's considered "best practice", at the end of the day you're not in the phone call when future employers call the place. Some bosses take it personally when you put in notice. It's apparently illegal for ex-employers to badmouth you, but how do you know they are?
With that said, despite the bad product design, give the two weeks notice if your boss hasn't written you up or any of that stuff and the relationship is decent enough. Better to have a 1% chance of them being useful in the future than 0%. If they want to be douches about it and fire you then, so be it.
Only gave 2 weeks once. Got canned that evening by them by phone call in a very low level IT job, as if I was a threat lmao
It's okay, while they were generally nice people--they cared more about animals than people and it doesn't surprise me they closed down a few years later.
@@droptozro Hey if they're shut down then you're free to put them on your resume without consequence and if you're asked what happened there you have an easy response.
I'm from Europe and the 1-2 month notice is a thing but if you really want to be nasty you can quit whenever you want it you can remind your soon ex-employeur that that period is for TRANSFER to another person and not for working 200%
I worked for a company in the early 1990’s that was pretty ruthless (firing’s, veiled threats and trying to get you to work OT for nothing). However, even they were careful when it came to references for future employers to read. One employee was caught stealing from them (he really was) and they sacked (fired) him. I asked them what the were going to say if asked for a reference by a potential future employer of this person. To my surprise, given their usually MO with employees, the local manager said “we have to be very careful what we say in a reference. Unless we can absolutely prove something we can’t say anything bad about a former employee, they can sue us.” So I asked what they would write in the reference. They said a bad reference usually states “ X worked for ABC Ltd (Incorporated): from August 1st 1990 to April 4th 1993.” And that is what they said they wrote for him. Most employers know that this very short statement is a coded ‘bad reference’. UK practice I know, however I can’t imagine that any Anglo-sphere jurisdiction would be much different. Or am I mistaken, would like to hear from those with experience of this.🧐🙂
I already knew that managers at my most recent job weren't allowed to give references (they have a phone number you can give to future employers that just confirms dates of employment). Still, I figured that it would be better not to burn bridges if I didn't have to. I gave notice and then one day later... I had to.
I use to work for wayfair as a customer service agent. It was the best job I have ever had. Early in my time there, they decided they wanted to switch our location from being both sales and support to just support so about 200 sales reps came in two weeks before christmas to find out their last day was yesterday.
Wayfair is awful.
@@goodmorningsundaymorning4533 yea, I left as it was going down hill fast
pretty much. job treated me like shit but i want to quit 3 days after being hired back due to workplace harassment. like whyd you even ask me to come back when all your gonna do is verbally assault me for 6-8 hours a day
You're burning a bridge.. my favorite
What was really funny was giving two weeks, getting written out of the second weeks scheduel, and asked to stay late on last day.
Telling your boss that its your last day and he says "You need to respect your elders!" 😂 😂😂
Bro was sniffing that paper
same thing with my bf. He was getting paid 45k as an engineer went to his boss and asked for a raise. The boss was like "we can maybe give you a little money for gas but if that's not enough, you should reconsider working here". Nothing happened so my bf went there like two months later two quit because he had a new job where he gets almost double and his boss was like "What did we do wrong? You are the second engineer to quit this month, we can't afford to loose so many people" smh..
My old service manager talked shit about me to my union after I quit. My Business agent just brushed it off because the guy was a pain in the ass.
Once you give your 2 weeks notice do not sign any papers unless it is related to compensation.
What makes u say that ohmygosh? Have you had experience of signing something and it went bad?
explain
Actually I am wrong. These days even compensation is a trap. Don't sign anything. Once you get dishonorary discharged call your lawyer. Fight it in court.
@@The-Right-is-Right Because they will trick you into signing a document stating that you accept fault for the termination.
They will fire you, or sue you, or recoup losses, or theft, or harassment, or blah blah blah.
They do shady shit, lie to you, hope you don't read the document and just trust them, and then BOOM, your butthole is gaping wide open as they come in with the pole.
It's best to not put yourself into that situation and not be bullied into signing anything, epically that you haven't read.
They might also try to get you to forfeit your PTO, or retirement, or stocks, or whatever.
They ARE NOT YOUR FIREND, don't trust them.
@@ohmygosh6176fight what exactly?
When you give notice, they use that time to abuse you. I gave a company 30 days notice as a motel manager and trained my bosses. They were getting drunk and having temper tantrums way past closing demanding I remake their bed. I am not stupid. I gave them the sheets in a basket and told them to do it themselves (I am not going into an occupied room full of drunk men). If they were not the owners, I would have them thrown out by the police.
Everytime I gave notice it was a horrible experience. I tell people, start your own business.
@wheresimpreza plenty of ways to make 6 figures in a few years. Stop crying in comment sections and go do what you gotta do.
@@ripvanwinkle3432 Fall into a coma and wake up 50 years later to collect social security like you?
If an employer wants you gone they will fire you on the spot. So why would you return a courtesy? Just quit when it's time to move on and obviously have something else lined up.
I dream of quitting like that... My work environment is toxic af...
Mine too. I'm looking for other options, because I'm not doing it anymore.
Do it. I did. In my last 2 jobs.

At will employment? I never give notice. If they want me to give notice then they need to pay me severance if they fire me. Simple.
The boss is exactly like Colin Ferrell's character from he movie horrible bosses lmao.
That's when you send them e-mail after that. Just to have confirmation of you giving resignation and not just "leaving" job. And yes, you can resign - there might be consequences depending on contract but they NEVER can refuse you. And not all written in contract you have is legal - if it's not, it can't be used against you. Even if they threat you with lawyers.
I dealt with that myself. Also shitty boss.
You aren't slave, you are person wanting to live.
Last job I quit on the spot was in February. I was threatened to be removed off the property and trespassed. Then they refused to let me come get my pay check because you know, I was trespassed. I had to have a family member go get it for me. I have no respect for employers anymore and dying respect for the law who protects them.
Edit:
The job before that, I gave my two weeks and they made that two weeks hell and did everything to make it awful. I was a delivery driver. They moved me to a packing shop where they package and roast coffee. It was extremely hot on top of it being summer. We are no longer land of the free. Enslaved by corporations and enforced by law.
Man, I enjoy your content more than any other on these topics. This was fucking hilarious and true. I'll like and share to try to get you more subs. Hahaha.
Nope always look out for yourself and not your employer.
I don't ever give notices to anybody but friends and I won't until they give notices for being fired 😂 2 way street. Aside from lay offs I have never heard of anybody being fired and be given 2 weeks to find a new job.
Basically "What do you mean, I don't own you? When did slavery stop?'
Best thing to do is to quit the day before you start your new job. That way you leave scrambling and they don't have time to investigate where you're going and ruin your chances
I had a manager once tell me she was a little shocked that I was leaving. 🤣 come on be for real, you won’t even remember my name once I clock out for the last time.
I once had a boss who literally fit that parody to a T including the coke
Lol. Facts. Was let go at 3:30 PM on a Friday. They had to get that last spreadsheet out of me.
"Let's just fight. If you win I'll stay for 6 months."
Dude best deal ever.
Don’t even give them that, just leave.
I literally just went back to school and went part time at my workplace, told my boss to not give me shifts for these specific times because of school, she fought me about it and said "you need to know your priorities, after all this is a job that you're getting paid for", like ok? I went to school to find a better job ma'am 😅
I've never been fired with a notice, so it's fair to not give a notice when you leave.
The paradigm has changed for sure.....BUT this two week notice rule has been BS for at least past 50 years. just remember, in America, EVERYONE works for someone.
It's scarry how accurately this depicts my current situation.
My boss does blow in his office, I'm overworked/underpaid and 60% of the time, the company doesn't pay on time 😂😂😂😅
Damn I hope you find something better
When you finally retire, would you just walk out or give notice? If my employer is toxic, I’d walk out.
My current job is acting like they are doing me this huge favor by letting me work a flex schedule so that i can earn my doctorate degree. Mind you, they do that kind of thing at mcdonalds.
I love how that last line "and I'll just pretend that you never said that." perfectly feeds into the loop. lol
I was fortunate I only had two jobs my entire career that I was glad to leave (and one of them laid me off a couple months before I was going to quit - thanks for the severance package!) Other than that quitting was always a respectful deal with notice given and sad farewells to coworkers and managers I truly enjoyed working with.
Honestly the only reason to give 2 weeks notice is for a hassle free exit or because you might want to come back. If they don't have a PTO payout to hold hostage, it might not be worth it. Only reason I didn't just quit on the spot at my last job is cause they had almost 2 weeks of PTO to hold hostage and I actually liked my boss.

I heard from a customer that my former boss was complaining that I gave her 1 day's notice that I found another job.
Pretty interesting considering she gave me zero notice before cutting my hours and forcing me to get a new job to pay bills.
An older coworker of mine had gotten laid of from a great job, at his next job some years later that company was hiring people of his skill level for more pay and better benefits. He applied and used his current at the time manager as a reference. Well he found out his manager sabotaged him by telling them he was unreliable, right after telling him he might get a crap raise for doing such a great job. So instead of putting in a notice he talked to the people looking at his application and they said they knew the manager was doing shady stuff like that for all his employees. So he secured the position then waited until end of day when the manager gave out there checks and said, “ok just wanted to let everyone know todays my last day, my toolbox is open take what you want” the manager laughed thinking he was joking. Bruh never even answered his calls the next week 😂 started his old job back with better pay than he would’ve gotten through his old progression.
Always get that check First Ladies and gentlemen.
This vaguely reminds me of the convo I had with my boss last year which is sad
"Appreciate everything you've given me" should be replaced with "Appreciate everything I've earned"
The threat of a bad references was the only thing traditionally keeping people from leaving same day. But references dont hold the same weight they did 40 years ago. That, and if you hated your old boss, do you really want to rely on their interpretation of your work as the deciding factor of getting a new job? If they ask about my last job I tell them in a cordial and professional manner that I felt disrespected despite my hard work and tell them I dont feel my last employer is a rilable, professional or unbias enough to give an accurate reference.
2 week notices arent for the manager, theyre for the coworkers I like. In general, Ive had really good work environments with coworkers and a manger i loved that ive left for higher income potential and I gave them a 2 month notice. They were super supportive and sad id be going, really was a work family. Then ive had Jobs where I couldnt give two craps about my coworkers and my manager was a bitter harpy who used work as her outlet for her bad personal problems. I just no-call no-showed.
I found a higher paying job. I just quit my old job. Didn't give them a notice or nothing. 😊
I just didn't show up. I'm sure the managers are more than qualified to find a replacement
This is why at will employment is the best sometimes. Because no matter what if you think about it everyone is an at will employee.
The alternative is slavery my guy. Which, that's what they WANT, but pesky laws are in the way, currently.
For people who work in a state with right to work laws, when your boss gets upset just tell them, “if you’re upset about the laws, speak to your local representative.”
I actually did give my two weeks notice, but only because I'd been working on getting another job for the past four months and I was just putting in 8s and going home anyway. I had more than two weeks vacation and I wanted them to pay me for it.
My bosses boss was at my exit interview, and he made a statement along the lines of, "well, I guess this is ultimately MY fault for not following up with you about a few of the things youve had issues with." He said it in that way that most people would respond with "oh no, it's not your fault" but you see, I'm an honest guy so I just stayed silent. After a few seconds of awkward silence he stood up and walked out as he cleared the door, he glanced back at me only to see me nodding.🤣
"We have consistently over-worked you and under-paid you, are you not grateful for that?" That is sad and funny
My feeling is that, assuming my new job pays better, I have proof that my time is worth more than you are paying me, why would I put in another two weeks at the lower rate?
Josh reminds me of the TV show Burn Notice. Great show!
I saw that my toxic job would mistreat employees who gave their 2 week notice. They weren't allowed to work from home, couldn't call clients, and basically had to sit and do grunt work. The exit interviews were more like interrogations. It just encouraged people to quit on the spot, or in my case, I put in my notice right when my boss went on vacation so I could avoid the worst of the backlash.
Bosses expect you to give them a 2 week notice for vacation or quitting, but they can just cut hours/fire you without notifying you at all, done on a decision made a day before without any preparations
😂😂😂 you need to respect your elders 😂😂😂 WHAT 😂LOL THATS CLASSIC
I recently gave notice that I'd be quitting a job that I took on about a year ago to supplement my income and to build up my savings. Told my manager that I'd be quitting after the following week. At first, he took it well. He asked if I found another job and I explained to him that I'd saved up enough money to go without work for a year and use that time to work on my coding skills to become a software engineer. What I didn't tell him was that I already had the right amount of money saved up since 3 months ago, but chose to stick around until the end of the year because I knew the holiday season was going to be rough (I got myself a pricey new gaming PC out of it, so it wasn't all for nothing).
The next day, right after I clocked out to head home, he says he wants to talk to me and says that he "doesn't want to hold me back from my dream" but would really appreciate it if I stuck around for a few more weeks. The company is cutting hours next month in response to a decrease in demand (now that the Covid surge has worn off), yet he claimed that the next few weeks are going to be terrible without me and that a high performer like myself would make the transition more bearable. He said that he knows I probably have my mind made up already, but he just wanted me to think about it. I went home and decided to come visit this channel for some inspiration since I haven't been here in a while, and I thought about it. I thought about it so much that I struggled to fall asleep.
I thought about a volunteer position I had a few years ago and how I stayed at that organization longer than I should have before realizing that they were just going to depend on me for everything and never grow into their own. I thought about the job in question and all the moments I had in the past year that made me want to rage quit. That time the restrooms had no water and I had to make do with the cheap, sticky hand sanitizer that they had instead. That time I got a paycheck and saw that I wasn't getting the overtime pay that I was supposed to get paid because of some esoteric rule that I couldn't find the official source of. Those times I had to perform the duties of a team lead without a team lead's pay because nobody else knew what they were doing. All the times I saw colleagues slacking off and taking frequent "restroom breaks", combined with the knowledge that they got paid the same as me (or more, if they had simply been there longer). Getting a raise only to see that it wasn't even close to an inflation adjustment. The certificate and a hat that I was given during the holiday season for my high performance... The certificate was printed on A4 paper! They couldn't even use something a bit more durable or get it laminated or something to prevent it from getting bent out of shape! He even followed up a few weeks later by showing me some performance data demonstrating that I, working alone, was performing so well that he couldn't keep up with my numbers even when working together with one of the team leads. I didn't really care for the certificate, but I'd hoped that at the very least I would be rewarded with a regular, predictable last two weeks free of any hassle or passive-aggressiveness. A simple "Thanks! Go pursue your dreams; you've earned it!" is too much to ask for?!
After checking the time and realizing that I'd only be getting 4 hours of sleep at best, my anger boiled over and I made up my mind. Not only was I going to reject my manager's request from the previous day, I was going to teach him the lesson that my time is not free and that NO ONE is entitled to it! I got my 4 hours of sleep, drove over there before the shift started, turned in my badge to the security person at the front, and went back home to get some more sleep. So much for ending things on a good note! I never performed for the company, for my manager, for my team leads, for my colleagues, or even for the hope of more pay. Others may say that I should've just held back, but I'm the kind of guy that likes to challenge himself; I like to see how far I can go. I worked harder than I needed to for what I was being paid, and I did it all for me!
Many factors contributed to my decision, and this channel was one of them. Thanks!
Employers want "right to work" and they can terminate you without notice for any (or no) reason, but they always forget that the employee actually has that same option.
Sometimes you gotta feel bad for the boss, because they are more stuck than you are.
An indignant supervisor at walmart went as far to mark me as "job abandonment". I gave a few days notice.
In india we have to give a 3 months notice. That's basically corporate slavery at its finest.
I know this is satire and it’s supposed to be ridiculous but it’s actually painful to watch because it’s spot on.
I definitely worked for that guy before.
BTW if you give ANY notice and they decline to let you quit, that's illegal. Call a lawyer. Immediately. State Bar Association can help you find one.
Been there, done that... So many times...
Love the white powder on his face the whole time 😂
