If I was one of the 25 people on that call, I would be planning an exit strategy asap. Very shameful.
Exactly! They will soon be replacing most of those 25. I sure as heck wouldn't stick around.
@@wiseowl2020 I agree. Even if I liked working there, I would never look at that company with a positive attitude again. I would be uncomfortable from now on going in there knowing what will happen if I ever quit.
100%
Yeah. I've been in meetings where management just complained about one person (never me though) and they never really made the company look good.
If the employee is so bad, why's she still here? Give her more time to muck things up? Good planning. Lol.
Yes! Yikes!!!
I gave 4 wks notice when I worked as a financial analyst for the treasurer of a $6B publicly traded company. We were short staffed, I was leaving bc of constant 70 hr work weeks that interfered with raising my sons. I did it so they could hire and I could train my replacement. Everyone including the treasurer stopped talking to me, a hire wasn’t made for 6 months…total waste of my life on my end. I was glad to get out. Bottom line: we are a tool for management, not their friend. Replaceable.
Everyone is expendible. Good for you for putting your family ahead of corporate greed.
It’s like that in healthcare-only you have crappy pay, assault risks, and crappy benefits.
@@travelnurseadventures3225sucks for you. Bad benefits? So you got a taste of how shitty the medical field is, not only to their employees, but to patients. If you can't afford treatment, go find a dark corner to die in. That's the field you work in.
Now you know I guess but you should have seen that coming a mile away. Our societal structure on every level is at war with its citizens and also promotes us exploiting each other.
Spread this knowledge and fight well.
Never believe a company that says “we are family here”. You’re not. You are a useful tool to make them money. Nothing more nothing less. Make as much money as you can and learn all the skills you can then move on and upward. Never work for the same company more than 5 years. It makes no sense. You are costing yourself thousands of dollars in pay and benefits
You are better off working for the same company for your entire career if conditions are bearable.
With my company it would have been dumb to leave cause of the pension and insurance that comes with it. Yes, the pay is crappy, but the benefits, sick pay, & vacations make it better. I know many that don't have everything my company has. They jump from job to job and sometimes make more and many times make less. But in the end, they never had a chance to settle where they started to get the benefits from the job.
@@vickieclark5931 never depend on pensions-they could be gone
You are so right!
Depends on where you work. Large corporations usually suck, but small companies can actually be a family.
I learned years ago, the hard way, that when you give your two week notice you make it as short and professional as possible. No elaboration no emotion none of that. Its extremely hard, you want to say things (good or bad) never do it. If you are thinking of doing that, rewatch this video.
At my last job I gave a 2 week notice... They asked me to extend it totaling 3 weeks. When I told them No they let me go that weekend lol..... I was so happy that I stood my ground. Looking back I can thank them for letting me go early I was able to get more time to relax.
Yep, the 2 week notice is for respect for the company. If they aren't happy with that and let you go right away, it was their loss not yours. They actually did you a favor.
Good for u
"You have to stay for 6 weeks" "Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of me leaving right this instant"
100%
Facts!!
“You have to give 2 weeks notice!”
“In 2 weeks, you’re going to notice I’m not here”
Exactly
😂😂😂
This explains a lot of what quiet quitting is all about.
But quiet quitting is about passive aggressive revenge without actually quitting…
@@larslee5341Right, they're probably referring to "Ghosting".
I thought both were just about not coming in. It isn't new though. I quit lots of jobs that way in the 1980s and 90s.
The only reason why the bosses would have a meeting with team about her is to create a chilling effect for those left behind to not resign like she did. I think this a good reason for the rest of the team to start looking for other jobs.
Yes, I hope they were flooded with resignations after that!
And, not give notice.
My ex boss did a one hour presentation about how "we don't need negative people in the company" after a quarter of the staff quit in a span of 2 months. It was weird and petty and I left shortly after.
I think the most liberating thing I learned in all my years of employment is just what "At Will" employment really means. It is very entertaining when you tell HR what it means after they give the notification to you that your employment is "At Will"
It means "I can pack up my desk and leave with or without notice should I encounter bad management." I think more managers need to know and understand this.
If it were me, the first call and pushback would have resulted in my immediate goodbye. Don't take this crap from employers.
Yeah she could have dropped them that day when she saw what she was really dealing with.
I never give reasons for leaving a job. It really is none of their business. In the case where you have been treated poorly, they know they did what they did. If it a case of finding a better opportunity, they know that as well. Work to live, don't live to work.
And I figure that if they give a fVck about what you really thought about the company, they would have come to you for your opinion long before you decided to leave. They're only asking because they're worried about their liability in all of it, and worried about their own jobs.
I recently learned a very hard lesson. I worked for the same people for 21 years. Never, under any circumstance, give more of yourself than what they're paying for. I also see no reason to give them a 2 week notice anymore. These companies don't give you a notice, so screw them
FYI, Dave Ramsey does not allow employees to put in two weeks. If you announce that you’re leaving, they just fire you. Dave always says “when your heart leaves, take your butt with it.”
Ride on
Lol
That seems like a good idea. No need for stringing out a mismatched job if you find a better one.
This is standard at IT jobs and places where you can damage the company equipment or programs. Dave is smart to have that policy. It may be unexpected and upsetting, but it’s the norm for tons of companies
Lol
When she mentioned that they didn't make her a counter offer, I don't think the point was that she expected a counter offer. Rather, I think the point was that if they were so intent on her staying, they might have given a reason to extend her notice or reconsider it all together. A contrast to the bullying they opted for instead.
Exactly. I left a job yesrs ago and our CEO drove to my office to try and counter offer. And face to face he was so amenable. And I didn’t actually ask for more money I only asked to not be forced to relocate like they were originally forcing. And once he was back in his office he was sending douchey emails about it and was suddenly cold about it and denied everything he said he’d be likely to do. So I confirmed I was leaving. The next day I had a bid on my desk and got paid to go home for my notice and was escorted out. But the two weeks off was nice.
I put in my two weeks at a restaurant I worked at for 3 years during college. The boss was mad and I overheard him saying that he thought I was trying to be “hot sh*t.”
Another person got a going away party when they left.
It felt great! 👍🏻
It sounds like your boss was jealous you were leaving for what I assume was a business environment. Why was the other person treated differently and given a party? Were they moving away, or quitting to stay home with kids?
Many years ago, I had a row with the VP of the company, so I typed up a resignation letter on the spot and I told them I would give them 2 weeks notice in the letter. They escorted me out of the building that day, and I was perfectly happy to leave that day. When I offered them 2 weeks notice, I was fully aware they may want me out that day but I felt giving them notice was the right thing to do.. I never looked back. Sometimes you have to cut your losses and just move on. P.S. The VP was a sleeze ball and she had an affair with with one of our clients and split up a 25 year marriage. I didn't want to work with her anymore. She got fired 2 years later. I lived happily ever after.
I am a nurse, and have always been an "at will" employee. I have a good friend who gave two weeks' notice and suffered this same thing. I learned that "at will" GOES BOTH WAYS. They don't have to have a reason for firing you, and you don't have to have a reason for quitting. For the first time in 32 years with a spotless, impeccable record, I encountered an impossible situation (related to some impossible people at work), I met with my boss (a "pumps and pearls" nurse who hasn't been in the clinical area since she graduated from nursing school) with my politically correct nicely worded effective immediately resignation letter in my pocket. I listened to her chastise me and make a "plan for improvement" for me, then I slid my letter across the desk without a word and enjoyed seeing her open the envelope, study my note, and enjoyed even more seeing her big fat brightly lipsticked mouth drop open so wide a truck could have driven through it. There were a few moments of awkward silence as she read my short but sweet note and she said "You don't mean this!" I said "Yes I do. It's been a pleasure and an honor working with my colleagues" I had already cleaned out my locker, and I turned my back on her and walked out.This was my day off, so I did not abandon my patients. Now the company (HCA) has a new policy--the 401K match money is only paid on Dec 31st--if you are fired or resign prior to that time, you don't get your match money. I'm pretty sure this is because of people like me. THANKS, HCA, for lying and disrespecting all the RN's who give so much so you can look good and make lots of money. Maybe this is why your company is going tits up and taking on water.
Good one ☝🏽
Did/had almost exactly the same experience when I left my retail job 11 years ago!
Aren't nurses in high demand right now? why would you make a policy that easily allows for another hospital to compete better in the work force? A policy like this means that only the nurses that can't get better options will be working there.
@@smithrr6 hospitals don’t care
When I gave my 2 weeks noticed they wanted be to give 2 MONTHS with a dollar raise. I told them no, I trained the last 2 months 2 nurses and a lazy travel nurse and then after I signed them off gave the 2 weeks. In nursing, it’s never enough. Healthcare invented Gaslighting and Bullying. One just has to leave. Good job you got out!
“We no longer own your life so please follow Security out of the door.”
I experienced this in a kitchen, put in my 2 week notice and endured bullying so I could leave with entegrity. On my last day the unaware restaurant manager told me I'm always welcome back, I told him that bridge is now burnt thanks to the kitchen management 👍
Ha! If there was an intended pun, I caught it😂
They don't care about people... in corporate is just business and you are 100% replaceable... don't work for them work for yourself while you work in a job.
I relate to her so much. I managed up the courage to leave a job in April 2021 after working there for two years, thanks to you Ken! I sometimes kick myself in the teeth with the loyalty that’s engraved in my brain.. I gave them a one month notice; same thing the young lady said, I waited to train another supervisor and waited for the new campaign to launch… and I was asked to give another 2 weeks… like.. what? They then had the nerve to ask me in the exit interview if it was because I wasn’t considered for the promotion… which then made me realize.. I stuck it out for two years and not once was I given a yearly raise… the nerve.
I knew there is no ‘law.’ And I always have been an advocate for people giving a 2 week notice & not leaving the company high & Dry.
But after 23 years, and a 3rd new ownership, the lies & deceit piling up,
I decided to just give a resignation email effective immediately & thanking the company.
Told them I’m retiring; which I was. Knowing full well they would NOT buckle down and hire someone in that 2 weeks to replace me. Because they are idiots.
Gave it to them on the last hour before my scheduled 3 days off. HR called me on the 3rd day to see if I was coming in the next morning.
I had to explain what ‘effective immediately’ meant. 🤦🏻♀️
WELL DONE!
I walked away from 11 years at a nonprofit because the CEO was insulted that a client let their car go to repo. I was told I'd be out on a PIP. I stood up, looked my supervisor in the eye and said "Nope!" I threw my laptop and phone in the wastebasket and left it on my desk. Enough said.
@herielina, good for you!!
Why is it leaving a company “high and dry” when u quit but when u get fired that’s not the case for the company?
@@yesthejets3377
I should of said; “leaving my co-workers high
& dry, because they would have to pick up the slack.
I’m surprised this video went viral, maybe I’ve worked in toxic workplaces for long but nothing she said was shocking or new, this is how a lot of corporate managers worked. Especially in banking. People called me while I was on leave. I have had to block every male boss I’ve ever worked for due to out of pocket contact outside of work. Sad
There is no excuse to belittle someone whose given notice. You say "thanks" and start the search process. All these bozos did was give 25 people a reason to update their resume.
I manage a whole department with a small team of 20 people. It is very depressing to me to hear these kinds of management out there. Numerous people have left to pursue different jobs over the years and not once have I ever heard of think of something like this happening.
Check your HR policy on separation. Because the 2 jobs I have left, if I initiate separation, I had to give 2 weeks. If I did not, my PTO would not have been paid out. Just something to check if you’re like me and keep your PTO bank stacked.
If I was one of those team members that saw the way the leaders treated someone that was leaving and harassing her up to her 2 weeks, that would let me know NOT to give a 2 week notice. Sounds to me like these leaders have just taught all of their employees to just leave with no notice cause it'll make them afraid of giving one knowing how they will get tortured up to the last day. I'm glad she got out of that toxic environment and wish her well in finding something much better with much better pay and much better leadership.
2 weeks is a cultural waste!!! Plan your exit strategy, and take the ramp. Own your decision. If you work for others, expect to walk someday. Know how to do. Dignity is one thing, but door mats and dumpster fires are quite another
Great episode Ken , glad you posted and narrated this experience. Its a great example to the young ones and the timid on how to stay firm and confident in yourself. Identifying terribly toxic management and how to deal with them. Total bully tactics on the part of management. So despicable.
Horrible behavior from supposed professional leaders.
What company is this? Call them out.
Yeah, I wouldn't feel bad calling the company out. They tried to ruin her. I think it should backfire and that's the way to get justice. Eye for an eye. Do to them what they did to you.
Where is that cancel culture when you need it.
It is NEVER needed.
That call was NOT for her it was a threat to the existing employees to see what happens to people who decide to leave...
Managers and companies in general will show their true colors when you decide to leave them. Some weirdly view it as a personal rejection even when it isn't. You can leave in the best most respectful way ever and there will still be many employers who take issue with it and make the process hell for you. That's why I never make the mistake of thinking any manager of mine is "different" and actually cares about me anymore. It's just a job, not a family.
When I gave my two weeks notice at my last job, I was immediately offered a 40% raise (which I knew was less than my male co-worker). Then I was asked to stay past the notice so he could go on his Hawaiian vacation.
For real? What idiots! 🤣
Wow 40%! I’m an acute nurse in covid unit I was offered a dollar 🧐
I worked for a terrible manager who I complained about. She threatened to fire me if I didn't withdraw my complaint. I refused and left that same day. Never think that they are your friends. They will throw you under the bus. Put yourself first always. I'm in a much better job now. Never looked back.
I do agree with no giving two week notice! Whenever you people get fire I've never seen anyone getting two weeks notice in order for them to get a new job!
That's a good point. Sometimes people will get notice on a layoff, but never with getting fired.
Lol
I give two weeks notice when I leave, but I've also been in leadership/engineering roles where it's professional courtesy. Six weeks is probably the end of a project they feel they can't finish without her. To me this sounds like a poorly run engineering firm.
Depends on what her contract and terms of employment said
@@mugentuner we don't know all the details, but no one can force her to stay either. My words on that meeting would be "f*** you guys, Im leaving." Public humiliation isn't okay either.
@@brad885 yeah that should have been a walkout on her part and give a piece of her mind professionally
I quitted same day for 2 practices that always belittled me. Had owner crying the Monday evening I said was my last day. Both female doctors were so abusive verbally towards me. Didn't like my uniform, or that "I looked young for the role". Like what? I look young because I am young. Just tell me you don't want to pay me what I'm worth and I move on. Fortunately I found a lot nicer ppl to work for
Wow. Unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this (I don't have TikTok). My daughter works in the medical field and has told me crazy stories about the bullying she has dealt with (and sometimes left jobs over). I've not really ever dealt with this myself and haven't quite known what to think about it since, while I love my daughter, I know I'm only hearing one side of the story. But I am realizing that there really are some poorly managed companies out there that allow bullying to continue, both in management and employee to employee. I'm proud of this young lady for leaving and I wish her all the best. Learning this lesson now will serve her well in the years to come.
No it’s not one sided, your daughter is right, Healthcare is notorious for gaslighting and bullying-sad cause it’s a profession that deals with caring for human lives!
@@travelnurseadventures3225, 100%. My daughter often comments that she doesn't understand why some of her co-workers ever got into their profession if they don't believe in caring for others as human beings. She is a CNA, so it isn't a high paying job! As far as hearing only 1 side of the story, I was simply acknowledging that my child is not perfect (no one's is), so there is always room for her to have had missteps now and again, but from the type of behavior she has described, agreed, it would seem the healthcare field is rife with gaslighting and bullying. So sad and so unnecessary. It does nothing but downgrade everyone's ability to provide excellent patient care. "Team work makes the dream work." I don't know who said it originally, but when people work as a team and pull in the same direction toward the same goals instead of having all the infighting and bullying, it can be a beautiful and joyous thing.
@@Jan-jk5li G*d Bless your daughter working as a CNA-CNAs are the eyes and ears of the hospital! I worked all through nursing school as a CNA-should be required before going to RN school, MD, PA, NP etc 🎉
@@travelnurseadventures3225, thank you so much, and agreed! It is good prep for the other levels of medicine. ❤
I bet management wonders why productivity dropped and more people are leaving. Having some experience leaving jobs I tell them I am leaving and do they need two weeks notice. (Most don't). Unless I am burning a bridge. Then I make sure they remember the fire.
And for those of you who believe in NEVER burning bridges, you have not worked for the right company. By the way, I am 65 with 44 years experience still playing the game. I quit giving a wet poop about what management thinks of me over 20 years ago. I am hired to fix things and get things done. And I do not suffer fools. Labor or management.
Two words. Law suit. Hostile Workplace Harassment. That would be my advice from 25 years of Human Resources
Lol, I guess in the corporate world. In Healthcare, hostile work environment is expected.
Nice to see you on the air I watched you today because I got fired for no reason . As I went to a knew job that I got 2 days after . I looked you up ! I find you interesting since you know a lot of what’s good for you and what’s not and my goal was DONT give up . Thank you for your insights . From NJ !
I feel for her. When I was laid off from a job they gave me a 2 week notice which I appreciated, but I wish they would have just walked me out. I worked in a department that worked with upper management closely and no one spoke to me AT ALL until the last day. When two people did and asked how I was doing, what was I going to do I looked at them, smiled, picked up my things and walked out the door.
I worked somewhere for years and the manager was abusive, a bully, and had a big ego. He used a lot of manipulation, could be nice one minute and mean the next. He lied too. When someone gave a 2 week notice, he chased them out the door the same day. He always tried to make himself look good and trashed the employees behind their backs
Really, most just do the 2/3 weeks notice because they care about the business not struggling to fill role. Plus leave with a reference. If she did not care, she could have just left. So they reward her by minimizing her ability? Truly mean and uncalled for.
A team call about me would result in my sending a company wide email explaining my side and leaving that day. Forget the two weeks.
Years ago a man whom I loved decided to dump me. I was blind-sided and in shock. Of course there was another woman--anyone who buys that "It's not you, it's me" crap is a fool. I thought he loved me, things were going fine, and I had planned on a future with him. There were many things I wanted to say, but instead I wrote him a kind letter stating that although it was not my wish to part, I respected his opinion. I thanked him for the good times and wished him well. A few years went by and he contacted me, said he was sorry, he had made a mistake, and wanted me back since I was the best thing that ever happened to him. I ghosted him, refusing to even answer the phone. I WAS the best thing that ever happened to him, but the best thing that ever happened to me was him dumping me.
Yes, but did he give you two weeks notice?
@@peteranon8455 Ha ha. I think he counted on a few more days of nooky , but I'm pretty sure he spent the next few nights high and dry.
In the UK we have to give 4 weeks notice.
I don't think a 2 week notice is necessary when a company can fire you at anytime. Does a company say hey we are going to let you go in 2 weeks. Yes, if you plan on working at that company again a 2 week notice is a good idea, if you have no plans of ever going back just resign on the spot
All those people just learned to not give 2 weeks to these people. What a joke.
That's right. My mindset would be to resign effective immediately. Give them the letter an hour before my shift ends lol
That's called "installing fear into new employees" . I'd say ok. I'll stay for a month ...and show up at lunch everyday.
BTW, the 2 week notice WAS customary, before about 1970. When almost every stats adopted "at will" hiring and firing, the 2 week notice went away or should have. Back in the old days, the company also gave 2 week notice.
Just found this video. This hits close to home as my current employer is so similar. The culture is awful. I cam imagine them handling me leaving with a "bullying" response. They have no care, empathy, leadership, value, respect for anyone. During my 4 years there, several employees have passed away. They didn't even care to attend 2 of them. That's how much they DON'T CARE. I need to get out but don't want to jump into anything else that could be even worse. I know what I want and am working towards it. But in the meantime, working in a toxic environment is very hard.
This is an example of Narcism in the workplace, textbook example of manipulation followed by a public smear complain. Go follow Dr Ramani channel for more information on how to identify and deal with these people
Love the reaction videos!
Egregious
Difference between employer and employee is that the employer is the pay master and holds all the cards. I have seen employers just blocking emp access cards, the employees hang around for a few more hours to know they are terminated.
This was me , I’m a pastry chef an this is literally just like what I went through. My boss is trying to keep me through thanksgiving. An im already in transition for my new job.
Hope your new job will be a lot better!
You have your new job already lined up. Do not jeopardize your new gig for this old one.
Hopefully you learned from that. All the companies are happy aslong we are productive and they they stated we are a family but once you we a mistake or we are planning to leave for better, we face reality!!
Disgusting they should be in jail that is defamation of character . Tell her to get a lawyer
If I were her, I would’ve just left without the 2 weeks notice if they were to treat me like that.
Hey, just curious when upon putting in a two week notice if you are fired abruptly after that, would you potentially qualify for unemployment benefits since you were terminated?
The company I worked for, if you walked in the boss’s office and give a 2 week notice. They would say - Give me your keys and clean your desk out now. Then they would stay with you and walk you out. Then they would change the door lock combination. That is how the real world works.
Always have a recording on everything even on zoom calls. depend on your state laws as well. Yes, talking we people in American only 🇺🇲
Had to give 4 weeks notice, gave 2 days short of 4 weeks which they insisted I owe, I think not, left when I said but knowing how they dealt with my notice was the nails in the coffin for leaving in the first place, never go back to a job either, history books
I don't usually give a week or 2 as notice... but this time I tried to be nice and professional I gave this company that i work with a week notice..... then they walked me out the same day without saying anything, they said they still gonna pay me for this week and they just don't want me inside of the facility anymore
I'm in an at-will state which means you or your employer can terminate employment at any time for any reason.
Therefore I never gave a two week notice
Now that I am an employer, I don't hold anyone to that expectation either.
These managers have no issue leaving you high and dry, however feel so entitled when you do so and would retaliate so as long as they can get away with it.
I give 2 weeks but it doesn’t have to be personable
Many companies nowadays are so arrogant. If you work for one of these toxic companies, not only should you not give them any notice, just quietly clean out your office over a couple weeks time, then just stop showing up. Don't even bother telling them that you left their employ. Let them figure it out. F* them!
I'll give them a 2 day notice meaning I will leave this place today.
They want you to give a 2 weeks notice to be curtious but want to fire you without a moments notice
Let that sink in
In this area for decades and across industries, of you give a 2 week notice you should expect to be fired with cause (they provide a justifiable cause) up to and including bad things to have on your record. Sometimes you can immediately quit before the t's are crossed and the i's dotted thus preventing a formal termination; no guarantees what end up in the company's records. Most companies expect a 4 week notice for an executive position.
I've noticed the lack of leadership and professionalism from those in management positions at alot of these jobs. It's sad.
You're not going to get an employee to stay, regardless of notice, if you insult them. No reasonable person will tolerate disrespect for longer than they have to.
This is defamation and needs an immediate lawsuit against it and toxic work culture.
Is there an update to this one?
Ken, I learned on TikTok that its 'Prerogative" and Bobby says it in the song. I was shaken.
They won’t let you speak in the teams meeting? That’s when you get in the chat and let everyone know what’s up. What are they gonna do, fire you😂
Absolute clownery.🤡🤡🤡
Agreed. I would've said: Ok, thanks. Now it's my turn and tell my side of the story to the entire team, exposing these shitty people. Period.
This is what entitlement looks like in a company's leadership.
After 8 years I gave my 2 weeks. 2 hours later got a surprise phone call they were around the corner to pickup the company’s property
I’m going to need proof.
Those managers showed their a$$es. They completely uncovered their true hearts 😮
Corporate Abuse / bullying. It’s wicked leadership
Wicked indeed.
She could leave seconds after her notice... she is not a slave.... She could get up and walk away anytime.
Were not your damn slaves!
Wow!
Working in politics -- now journalism -- I have a truckload of horror stories about the workplace. Just make as much money as possible and try to retire early so you can enjoy more time before you die.
Omg! This poor girl!
Omg ! The same thing has happened to me 😢!
2 week notice is only if you planning to one day maybe come back to work for that company. Otherwise you are wasting your time. Employees are only well oiled machines that are replaceable in a day or so. Better use those 2 weeks to rest and prepare yourself for next chapter in your life.
Companies have the at will employment that you sign . Were you can Be let go at any time or any reason. A two week notice is a courtesy for the employer. But you dont have to give them that. You can do a at will resignation and turn their turn the tables on them
Everybody knows , if they dont i sure as hell told you guys , it hurts too much , i quit
My old boss would pay you minimum wage the last two weeks.. and Florida is a right to work state so you have very little legal recourse.. you just leave
That's illegal
I would have told them that as soon as I left the phone call, it would be my last moment with the company.
Always amazing to me that employers are so quick to teach all the other employees not to give two weeks notice.
why is it 'amazing'?
@@kikiriki8742 You're nitpicking my phrasing a bit, but the point is it's against the company's interest to take actions that discourage other employees from providing notice, so it's amazingly stupid that they keep doing it.
@@roshinobi Not nitpicking, just trying to understand what you meant. I wasn't attacking you. Sometimes, it's not easy to read what's on these threads because the screen, especially if you're on your phone, might not show the full message. The way you explained it, I fully agree with what you're saying.
That company sounds like a bad ex-boyfriend. Girl you did the right thing.
No. If you’re not going to go back to that company - which I would plead you to never do - leave when it’s best for you. Two week notice is a joke. Your employer wouldn’t give a two week notice if they laid you off.
This sounds like a really young person working for a small firm with poor management. None of what she’s describing is normal.
I came here fully expecting Ken to say something incredibly stupid, but I was pleasantly surprised. My only issue, is his surprise that this would happen. He’s obviously when been living in a bubble and has no idea what it’s like for regular people trying to navigate the work place.
