Wild that companies think the employees are there are there to enthusiastically help the company, and not just hating their job, but doing it for a salary.
@@Nocure92 I know people who have had the other side of this conversation with me literally (like complaining ab an employee not putting in a 2-week before quitting) and they actually do think this way it's wild. When I mention sometimes that work isn't everything and some people don't really value it in the same way that same person seems to get confused about why someone would think that way every time. It's funny what being a neutral party will end up letting you overhear lmao
This needs to be the most up voted comment on this page. It's not enough that people have lost faith in businesses from an employer to an employee viewpoint. People need to force companies to follow safe and fair policies. It'll probably never happen, we need more unions, and it needs to be something that isn't refused by companies, nor used against potential employees for being a member of them, which both things have happened.
There was a casino which it will be called Rusty nugget LOL... and the guy who was one of the directors told me that I am not rehireable. Even though I did give a four - or five day notice. This is for my resignation. I can not give you two weeks because the job was ready to bring me on. And trust me, it was a better job. So this is Knucklehead said at the end of the meeting you know you won't be able to get rehired back here again. Like this job was my life and it's going to end when I leave. I smiled widely...... and said, "You know I am not worried about that because you will never see me again!" Peace!!!!
Other employers can see that you were marked not eligible for rehire. They will wonder what you did for them not to want you back. Did you quit without notice? Sexually harass all the female employees? Not do anything you were asked to do? As a hiring manager, I am hesitant to hire ppl that have previously been marked not eligible for rehire. Legally, the prior employer can't tell the prospective employer why, and we are not allowed to directly ask candidates why they aren't eligible. We can ask why they left their last job. If we know they aren't eligible, it is easier to discern if they are or aren't being truthful.
I am not from the US so this sounds so alien to me. So how do other employers see that you've been marked inelegible for rehire? Why is that even a public thing? It being public sounds like it's an extortion tool. Wouldn't a company that actually wants you back be actually able to rehire you? Like if they make a better offer or whatever. US labor rights are SO third world man
@BaroTheMadman I wouldn't say it was "public record" per se, but it does go in your file. It has to, so if you try to come back 5 years down the road, they know not to rehire you. Things have happened and people have gone back to work at a previous employer before. However, if the new job you're going for asks the outgoing job if they would hire you again, they can say no, they just can't say why and the "new" job can't ask them or you why. They can just NOT hire you if they're thinking you're trouble.
I can only tell you how Liberated I felt. To play games and try to spite me. They scheduled me to work on the day I was starting the new job even thou it was past the two week notice I had given them. So I showed up for work ;-) Timed it perfectly then just walked over and clocked out. It was the greatest pleasure seeing the alarms blare “clocking out before the end of your shift!”. The supervisor came over and said “What’s this about? This is all for show isn’t it? You didn’t really get a new job did you?”. I proudly told him: Yes I did and it pays 35k more a year than this place does. Oh and it starts in an hour so I have to get going now. Wouldn’t want to be late on my first day! He said: You leav’un us hanging! Where is your Loyalty to our company? We have no one to cover your shift! I’ll have to *gasp* do it myself! With the greatest of pleasure, I took off that dinky little vest. Handed it to him and said “This job is yours now. My loyalty is why I came to work a half shift after my last day of work. Good for you to, or I’d get over time if I worked the full shift. You’d get in trouble again if I did that right? Peace out!” 6 years later I purchased my home. Ever thankful for the opportunity to actually have a full time career with perks and benefits. Plus free banquet food on weekends, supervisor position that reports only to the general manager who then forwards my report to the owner. Blessed
@@innocentonyemaenu6353Gave a manager once a 2 day notice. Yet she hired someone to replace me without notice that wasn’t working out and she expected me to train her… Yet she literally gave another employee no notice at all. When she came into work her badge wasn’t working, yet she was able to get into the office to which the manager had her escorted out by security… companies like this should understand why employees give no notice. The lack of integrity and audacity with some of these companies… I sure hope companies are better than this in Nigeria, because in America it’s a b.
@@SageRhyme I've never been cut early during the 2 weeks. They can't post a job, interview candidates and complete a background check and start your replacement in 2 weeks. Unless they were already looking for your replacement before you gave notice.
I literally had this happen. I hurt myself at work and they tried fighting me on the workman’s comp. I asked my lawyer if quitting would affect the workman’s comp case and he said no so I put my resignation in the next day which would be my last day. The HR manager literally told me I HAD to put in a 2 weeks notice or I would forfeit my workman’s comp claim and that I would be ineligible for rehire. I asked her what part of me quitting effectively immediately would make her think I cared about being rehirable. She said “because you’re desperate to get that workman’s comp money and I can make it to where you won’t see a dime if you dont do what I say!” She didn’t realize the phone in my hand was recording until she received a letter from EEOC and the State Labor Department letting her know she was under investigation. I got a check for $9,000 for the injury and $10,000 for her stupidity. Easiest money I’ve ever made.

I witnessed a company employee give their boss a full three-months notice in order to better benefit the corporation in finding a replacement with plenty of time, and for his thoughtfulness, they dropped him immediately and he had to struggle to make rent until his new position started at the new job. Luckily for him, when his new company found out what happened, they hired him sooner so that he wouldn't be surfing someone's sofa or homeless before he got onboard. These companies don't deserve your respect.
A similar thing happened to me. My boss hadn’t noticed that it was my one-year anniversary when I gave my 2-week notice. He was so mad he’d have to grant me vacation time (after never allowing me a day off in a whole year, including sick days!) that he fired me on the spot. As I was packing my things, one of our clients called and when I told them I was leaving, they hired me to help them at their office for the two weeks until my move to another city. They treated me so well I almost changed my plans to work there permanently!
I've not had an enormous number of jobs, and I've always been an above avg employee. That said, on only one occassion did a company "allow" me to work a notice.
I did that once, and wound up having to move because my former boss told every other business owner he knew not to hire me, and said he would do as such when I left.
...and that is why you TRY like hell to have a job lined up so you can go to it. Also do NOT TELL A SOUL where you are going to. Trust me, I have seen people run to the manager with this info in order to look like a hero to their manager
I did get fire after giving my boss my two weeks notice. I guess he did not like the fact that i was leaving and he decided to let me go two days after i let him know
They can in fact sue you for breach of contract. If you think that is out of the question it is only beacuse you have never been important enough for the business for them to consider it
@@iecsao Unfortunately people are very particular when it benefits them, but when it comes to meeting your own obligation that you signed a legal document to honour they revert to - what are you gonna do about it? So called grown up children. You even find an occassional idiot who is not only not ashamed of it but calls it 'glorious' lol
I have seen people fired and laid off and no one gets a 2 week notice. At best you get to the end of the day to clean out your stuff. Most times security walks you out immediately then your manager arranges to have your stuff sent to you.
Companies fire employees “effective immediately” then turn around and expect a two-weeks notice when you resign. Now that’s Unprofessional. It also, makes them a hypocrite.
Companies that fire effective immediately usually give you pay for those two weeks. Sometimes they give severance packages that are even larger. They do that so you won't complain on glassdoor and they make you sign a form to make sure.
@@paulaw418 I've seen it. Small companies maybe not. But larger companies have a reputation to maintain. The huge company I work for now, and the small company I worked for last both had this policy, two weeks pay minimum.
I got so lucky. Left my bedside nursing job and told my managers that I was interviewing for an education position. They were sad to see me go but expressed happiness for me on my new journey.
Same. In fact, my supervisor even told me to look for something else, because she knew I could do better than a minimum wage job. She was very happy when I did find a better job.
@Insert.Name.Here. One section I worked at got closed and we were redeployed all around the area. We had all got on really well and were sad to be parting. The people in the room across the hall wanted our room because it was nicer than theirs. Fair enough. But every time any of us bumped into any of them, they kept saying "We can't wait for you to go, we're so looking forward to having that room." So, on our last day, as the rest of us were busy packing up, our team leader was busy mashing prawns and pushing the paste down the holes in the tops of the radiators.
@@donw4889 I call BS. Anyway, this 2 weeks notice/effective immediatly nonsense is US specific, so in developed countries people are most of the times more civil in that matter.
@zerogravityriding8615 No. Employers that are respectful to employees do deserve notice, Especially if you want them to refer you fairly when your future employers contact them.
I’ve learned in my years of working, that they won’t give you notice when they fire you so I don’t give notice when I’m quitting. Respect goes both ways.
@@Ryliasnow I was forced to resign from a job and got unemployment. The options given by my employer were being fired and never being allowed to work for the company again (this was at a major health provider with multiple locations within 50 miles of my house) or resigning. When I explained how it went down to the employment office they approved me for unemployment. Better than the money was the thought of my former manager having to deal with grief from his manager over why someone "resigned" and still got unemployment. HA HA
I've known so many people who gave notice only to be told not to show up the next day. One lady was retiring. She gave her date several months in advance, president tried to talk her out of it. She said no, I'm 75 years old, it's time. President flips out, tells her that friday is her last day. No party, no thanks for 15 years of doglike loyalty, just get out.
@@jcarry5214🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 wow that’s beyond insane. This is exactly why you don’t show any loyalty to these companies. Same thing happened to me. I was at a job for 10 years. Wasted my youth there . Worked like a dog and when I said I was leaving they said ok bye like it was nothing
I would say it this way: unless a company has been discourteous to you, being courteous is a good path to follow. It's not about owing them anything, it's about not being a dick. Also, when a future employer calls and gets a bad review from this past job, you may find yourself losing a potential job.
I left a toxic job with immediate notice 3 months ago, felt sooooo good. The final straw was them demanding that we give at least 6 months notice when we leave. All staff left within 2 weeks of me leaving and they closed their business until about a week ago. Satisfactory outcome for the workers.
@@nygrl6102also I left that Job to join a union job. The owner of my company literally pays off my unions reps so we dont get paid our proper overtime rates, among other illegal stuff they get away with somehow lol
@@nygrl6102 I swear you lack reading comprehension. Without any union involvement, the workers were able to literately "end" the companies very existence. Why would they need a union? They already have the greatest power an employee could pretty much have. To end the workplace...
I was a manager at my old job.. I enjoyed putting in my two weeks..actually i gave 3 weeks..but i got to give my employees a much needed break from alot of technical things in that period and enjoy my time with them...had rubberband gun fights with them..dance offs..etc..a blast! plus it rubbed in my bosses face how much i was loved and would be missed by customers and workers.
Composing a resume is a skill that can be learned. Additionally, providing adequate notice is a common courtesy. For instance, when I gave two weeks' notice after a decade of service, I received letters of recommendation from both the owner and the chief financial officer. Indeed, exceptional, or even acceptable work is often recognized and rewarded.
@@kalevala29 While you may have been recognized it does not mean it happens 'often'. Most people who quit and move on to a new job, do it precisely because they are NOT being recognized or rewarded. I gave two weeks notice but because there was a holiday during those two weeks the company was saying it wasn't a full two week. It's petty stuff like that, that happens often.
Well they also can't use that against you on your reference which is why they say won't make you eligible for rehire. It's easy for you to just tell the new employer the truth on why you left. Laws protect us more than the employer, most of us just don't know shit.
I just quit my job after 21 years. I quit on a Friday morning and they were stunned. I asked my manager why he was so surprised as after 21 years of loyalty I’ve been harassed daily for the previous 8 months for no reason. He asked for 2 weeks and I asked him if he would have provided me the same courtesy if he fired me? He remained silent and I agreed to stay an additional two days, worked from home and did nothing. They have this expectation of loyalty but it’s never returned.
@@Art_and_Logic Your dad? Let me explain it to you: He ain't loyal to that company...he loyal to paying them BILLS. You don't quit a job without having another lined up, firstly. Secondly, depending on the amount of time he has there, it may cost MORE to quit and go to a new place.
I quit like this at a job once, and a much younger employee was mind blown that I did this. She was so confused that I didn't give a 2-week notice because that's what you're supposed to do. And I love to think I corrupted her by telling her there's nothing they can do about it
I don't even go in. I just call. I've never been in a spot or a job interview after asking why I left and how I left where they job I was going to cared.
This is hilarious because a lot of people from my job would quit and say how happy they are to finally leave, then all of them came back a year later, now talking shit about the other place. People complain so much now, just because they can.
One of the best things being an employee in Italy is they cannot fire you without a sufficient notice unless they can prove you did something very wrong at job. If they cannot provide evidence of your fault, they give to pay you the corresponding wage for the days of notice they didn't give you (which neans, for example, you were entitled to 3 weeks notice, if I fire you today, I pay you today, ahead, for the three weeks you would have worked for me if I had given you the correct notice by time. ) *this does't apply to small companies, under 15 employees.
@@luckystroke126 yes 😅 That's because for smaller business, it's considered "family-run". Plus, smaller companies are more sensitive to ups and downs in budget, so they are entitled to send you away if business is bad and they simply cannot pay you anymore.
Depends on the infringement. Some actions lead to immediate dismissal; however, it is common practice in my country to involve a labour lawyer and hold an official hearing between the employee and employer. Don't know how things are done in the Sates. Generally in SA you are given at least 3 weeks notice of your dismissal.
I would never give someone notice that they're fired, that seems crazy. We do give severance though, which, I would think, is better. You get paid but have the time to look for a new job
"It goes both ways" does not apply to every scenario in life. Look into the billions of dollars of loss caused yearly by employees purposely sabotaging companies they work for, usually when they're on their way out. When an employee does that, the employer can't suddenly go to the employee's house and sabotage their life just because it would be fair. It does not go both ways. See how that works??
while they can, most don't. Most give warnings for bad performance. Layoffs generally come with severance where you'll be paid perhaps too little but something. And if they fire you, you're eligible for unemployment which they pay into. It's not nearly as bad a deal as you're making it out.
I give a two week notice to my former job. (I had some medical trouble. then sometime I quit job earlier) But on thursday of the first week, the boss bring me at his office asking me if I will fake sickness as always to quite earlier.... I said no i will not fake but I will quite now and never come back. I said to him I will never be in a bad position where I have to endure your shity face and behavior like that!.... his face was priceless, he was never thinking that I the moment I decide to quit I didn't care about his authority
woah no way, her quitting and saying she has a new job might mean chances are she doesn't care about her current job that Shes quitting, lol no shit sherlock the girl said she'd rather sell her ass on OBT than work there, derp, I hate people's idiocy
Concerned eith the company's benefits? Like what? I am not a stock owner, I am just a number. Every single position is replaceable. I will work my job, I will listen to the pieces of advice, I will do whatever is required from me because my living, my salary depends on this. As soon as they start to mess up with my living, aka my salary, C ya filth.
I gave notice to try and help the company since I had worked for them for 15 years and occupied a critical position. What a mistake that was, I should have just quit on the day. When they couldn't come close to matching my new offer (literally half the pay), they became very nasty.
@@atodaso1668Best move to leave their abusive vipers nest. Your labour & expertise is what they're paying you for in a wage, if they won't pay you your worth, then it's their loss.

I stand by the “today is my last day” style. Companies are bullies and would fire you on the spot. Alerting them it’s your last shift is way better for your mental health
Yeah, try that in New Orleans. They'll fire you on the spot and you'll miss out on those hours. That's why I always quit at the end of a shift. And don't even _think_ about putting in your two weeks. They'll fire you on the spot for that too.
Your parents and grandparents flipped shit and broke things when they were told they were getting let go. Now you deal with their punishment. You'll be fired on a Friday afternoon with 10min to get your things and an escort out of the building.
I worked with a great boss. No way I would not give notice to her. Her replacement had a chip on her shoulder. Threatened my job within 10mins. I decided to quit within a minute. Finished up some work for an hour. Said I was quitting. Clocked out, walked out the door
Not always.. sometimes there's just no where to move in the company, and your best bet is to take a promotion elsewhere for more pay. You can have a great boss, but money always talks.
This myth needs to die. Yes a bad manager will cause people to quit....however that doesn't mean a good manager can magically make people want to work a crappy job. If the job is crappy (hard labor, bad work life balance, bad hours, low pay, bad benefits, long hours, bad holiday schedule.....ect) people are going to quit regardless how awesome the boss is.
Or like me and my dad, you play with them until retirement because you know all the power plays that they don't. My managers in their 20s get annoyed that I'm getting old with health problems. Me: secretly changed my contract to 6 months notice with Head Office and the older manager. 😅😅 So I either work my last 6 months unless I'm sick or the give me 6 months pay upfront. Know your labour employments laws and your contract laws. 🙈🙈
Idk, I guess it depends on where you work. Quitting immediately just puts pressure on your coworkers. Sure it doesn't benefit you (maybe) but why be a jerk to your fellow workers? If you don't want to do 2 weeks, do a week.

When I quit my job back in 2018, I gave 3 days notice. The assistant manager came to me and was like "You're quitting without giving notice?" I said "Dude, my last day is Friday. Today is Tuesday. How much more notice do you need? Not like people getting fired are notified 2 weeks in advance."
I've been saying this for a long time now. We talked about how companies don't give you notice when they let you go, however companies want notice when you let them go. Stay elevating.
Well, you're probably getting fired for a reason, so you are a disgruntled employee at that point and, depending on what field you are in, can do irreparable damage to the company. It makes sense, but it doesn't mean it fair.
@@mikep3813well the employee doesn’t want to work for you anymore & they found a new job, leaving immediately just makes sense for them. See how this goes both ways. The employer is not the main character in anyone else’s life but theirs.
@JoanneNjeri-ef6sz obviously it depends on the situation, but to write off giving two weeks' notice just because they can fire you without notice is kinda dumb and will do more damage than good for both parties involved in the long run. If you have only been in the employees shoes and not the employers shoes as well, you may not understand fully.
I got laid off from a job once. There wasn't notice. Company didn't care about giving me two weeks to prepare for the change. In fact, they waited specifically so they hoped I wasn't even at work when they wanted to get rid of me. I scheduled vacation, and the manager refused to approve it but kept telling me to go ahead and take it and she'd approve it later. The first day came, I showed up to work anyway, and the manager marched on the floor, all smiles, calling out for me, hoping I didn't show up. When I walked out from behind a machine and said I was there, that smile just dropped into the biggest scowl I'd ever seen, and I got taken into a small room to get my severance package sorted out. Short version of this: Company Loyalty is a one-way street, and it isn't going to be in your favor, ever.
It sucks, but that is why I always say that you should never do anything for the company unless it is written. Never trust the "we will figure out later", because that is just an excuse to put you at fault and clean their hands of the problem. If you want to me to do X, send me an email or a formal notice requesting X. A corridor ask is not going to do it. Oh, you need me to do an extra day, and you are offering two holidays in exchange?? That is amazing, now send me the email and I will send you a confirmation. What is that? No, sorry, "we talked about it, I swear" ain't going to cut it if they try to blame me for missing a day.
Of course there was no notice. Lay-offs are not fun for anyone. Would you have been productive at work after getting the news? Most people aren't. Would your mood be a great boost to morale for the people who aren't leaving? Most people's wouldn't. Would you do something stupid if given the chance? Maybe not, but some people have. Companies won't take the risk. There is no reason to keep someone around when they've been laid off and most people don't want to. Your severance package is compensation for a number of damages caused by your termination without cause, including the lack of notice.
That's why you record, whenever they say anything outb of the norm. Come back with a rec device and say "hey, that thing you said is what you said, right?"
@@brettski74you're missing the point. They want you b to do x to make life easier for them but will not reciprocate. But unlike the company, you might not be able to handle a sudden loss of income. And not everyone can save even if living beneath their means.
I put in a two week notice at the job I worked, I was a salesman I did my best to prepare management for being down one salesman by explaining all the contracts under my name (about 9 or 10 jobs) I worked with the manager to explain all of them and give as much detail as possible. After I left not even a week goes by and I hear from some friends that still worked there that he was talking shit about me and how I left them high and dry and didn’t help any. Point being, companies couldn’t care less about you even if you do it right. So fuck em and go live your life, it’s just a job.
I just sent a resignation out saying today was my last day in this corporate job that was draining all my energy and wasn’t even paying me my worth. I have another job lined up. It feels good.
I was always told to give two weeks notice. When I was a young man I was moving my family out of state to a new job in a less expensive area and gave my employer two weeks notice. I was really depending on that last two weeks pay to make the move. It made my employer very angry that I was leaving so he let me go immediately. Somehow I was able to scrape the money together to make the move. Literally limped into our new town on bald tires and totally broke. Best decision I could’ve made. Got back on our feet and even had more time with my family.

It pays to know your labour laws. Here in British Columbia Canada if they end your job you get 1 week of pay for 3 consecutive months worked, 2 weeks for 12 consecutive months worked. So yes, I give 2 weeks notice at a minimum.
@@darrenskjoelsvolddepending on the job it's not worth the 1 week of pay. If you're considering not getting rehired to not be a punishment, then it's worth forfeiting the 1 week of pay and just quitting.
it all depends on the country and labor laws that apply in case it is not specified in the contract. The employer can request that you give them a 3 months notice, as long as you sign that paper, it's considered legally valid.
Most companies will not allow you to take PTO once you have submitted your notice. So in most cases, the rest of the vacation would be unpaid time. The idea is that they front load all of your PTO for the year, but you technically accrue those days as the year progresses.
Cause if you tell someone they are done in 2 weeks they will not do their work or worse sabotage the company. Note one of the few things employers will ask your previous employers is if you gave 2 weeks notice.
I worked at a manufacturing plant once as a machine operator. I enjoyed my job and had a great manager. Upper management was horrible though. They eventually fired my manager without notice, just walked him out one day. They installed a ‘yes man’ to his role who was hyper focused on “safety issues” such as wearing ear plugs and safety glasses at all times, even in the break rooms. It didn’t take long for us machine operators to start looking for other jobs. This industry is very specific, there aren’t a lot of people who know how to operate those machines. After the company refused to listen to us and start threatening us, we all left without notice at around the same time period. There were a few that stayed, but that was because the company offered them big bonuses and raises to do so. That was 8 years ago and I’ve never regretted by leaving that place.

I did my Thesis and Dissertation on 'toxic management' ... While still employed. As you can imagine that did not go over well with my bosses. After the news got around about my studies, it took them another 4 years to fire me. Even then, they couldn't find a way, until I got hurt and was in the hospital and couldn't call in. They couldn't fire me for 'non-performance', because I was a stellar employee, so they fired me for not calling in for 3 days. They had a policy that if you don't call in for 3 days you can be terminated. Since I was unconscious in the hospital and I couldn't call in, and you can't fire somebody for that, it turns out you can fire somebody for not calling in. Corporate America baby!!! 🤦🏻
Nailed it! Two weeks notice is a thing of the past. When my daughter was seventeen. She told me. She wanted to quit her part time job at the movie theater. I told her to do the responsible thing and give written notice. Cause in my generation that's what you did. Later that day. She came home early. Saying when her manager read her two week notice. He released her right on the spot. To this day, I feel guilty giving her such bad advice. I'm her Dad. She trusted me. I didn't recognize the world is changing. And not for the better. 😢
The problem is, when most people give notice, they've already mentally quit. They view the two weeks as a chance to get paid for goofing off or ripping off the company. As a security issue, lots of companies will make the termination immediate.
I had a company do this when I gave my three weeks notice, but they paid me for those three weeks, while I looked for a different job. It was such a toxic work environment, but apparently my bosses bosses boss. Was a great guy. He stepped in after I qualified for unemployment due to the toxic work environment. My boss was fired after I gave my exit interview. Man, that felt good. I kept a file on everything she did to make my life hell.
Worked at a crackerbarrel, did every job except front of house, told them i was joining the marines, out of nowhere my recruiter told me my ship date to meps was pushed up and i had 3 days to get ready, told my General Manager and he said " Sure buddy! No problem! Just dont forget to leave the apron and uniform and dont forget to visit us on leave! " in broken english, he was a cool ass moroccan guy, witty and down to earth and respectful, best GM i ever had.
I did this same thing 6 months ago. Not regretting it a bit. To them you are a never ending resource because there’s plenty of other people who will take your job. Do what makes you HAPPY!
You said the quiet part out loud. Never understood why companies are allowed to ditch you without warning because “it’s an at will state” but it would be a detriment for our careers if we dare not to give ‘em two weeks to theoretically replace us (and I know they don’t because after someone quit I had to take on their work without a raise)
True! I left on short notice once, but the company had to hire two full time employees to handle my position. Within a year, the company's mismanagement caused it to go bankrupt. The owner of the company had hired all 3 of his daughters into management positions. One had an affair with the VP, one micromanaged to the point that nothing got done, and the youngest left after getting married.
This. I gave a job unofficial notice like 2 months out because I was moving states and I knew the month I would be leaving, but didn’t know my official last day. I still gave 2 weeks notice when I figured out my official last day. The entire time leading up to it I kept asking my manager if she had figured out a replacement and that I was happy to help train them so that it would be a smooth transition for our team (at that point I cared way more about my coworkers than her). She kept telling me that she was working on it, but not to worry about it. Two days after my last day she texted me asking if I could come in for her because she was sick (this was a constant anytime she didn’t feel like coming in, but I was usually fine to pick up the extra hours). It was so satisfying to remind her that I didn’t work for her anymore. She acted like she was surprised and said, no I thought we had one more month? And I was like feel free to check my letter of resignation that I submitted two weeks ago to check the date when you get in. 😂

Employment is mutually beneficial. I once quit a job after the boss told me that I was on "his time." Let me say this as clearly as I can ... EMPLOYERS RENT MY TIME FROM ME! I don't "owe it" to anyone and no one else "owns" it!
Veronica speaks for mostly unsuccessful, unhappy job hoppers who will consistently underperform and act like they're the glue holding a company together.
I gave 2 weeks notice when I left a job because I respected my manager, and he gave me a reference for my new job. I straight up quit a job at Walmart at the end of my shift due to piss poor management and unreasonable expectations. People quit bad management.
my previous job at quality wall disrespected me on a daily basis, so I announced at the end of last day that I quit. When asked about 2 weeks notice I said that I give zero fcucks and expect my papers to be sent to my home via postal office. They even had the audacity to call me 5 months later begging to return because they lack people in quality control department.
@@lukas8708 Yup. Good employees are extremely hard to find these days. You think the businesses and managers would wise up and show respect, but for inexplicable reason it’s the opposite, just more and more abuse 😤🤦♂️
How ironic. My 23-year-old sister wrote a scheduled email to her manager and HR to send at 9:30 p.m. yesterday. She wrote the email on Sunday and went to work Monday to return company equipment. She did her job as usual. Her manager messaged her this morning, asking if she had jury duty. Two hours later, she replied, “Hi. I sent you and HR a resignation email.” He said, “Oh, I didn't get the email.” She didn't reply. She didn't tell any coworkers she planned to leave the next day. Sis even packed her tiny Ferris wheel off her desk in her work bag and left after work. I'm proud of that girl for leaving the toxic corporate world.
@@anncokafor *Please ensure that you are not in contractual work first because if that is the case, you must fulfill it, or there will be financial/legal penalties* . However, if that's not the case, you owe no toxic employment or employee explanation. Silence speaks louder than words. If you leave quietly, you will save yourself from the heartache of negative vs. positive people in the toxic environment surrounding your leave. A few months ago, I also left my position as a manager for a global operations company. I gave them a three-day notice because of my P.A., good co-workers, and incredible employees.
You usually are required by law to give the employee or the employer sufficient time to permit transfer of knowledge. Sending an email on a weekend and not returning to a place of work is not a very mannered way to do thing, no matter that its a toxic workplace. You are not a kid, you indicate you won't be working with them and they have 2 weeks to close the files you were working on. You could actually tell them (or HR) at that time you prefer to leave immediately, especially if you believe it has an impact on your health. Working in a place is a contract, the employers has a contract to give you work everyday and not get rid of you if they don't have a good reason, you have a contract to do your job in exchange for pay and give them time to replace you once you leave. This would not apply if you have been working there for less than 6 months and if you are not a full time employee. Hell guys, learn to be respectful, the other employees even bosses are humans too.
@@EarendilTheBlessed There is not a single law on any books that requires 2 weeks notice or absolutely anything similar. Get the boot out of your mouth.
A friend of mine gave almost a Month's notice and 2 days later, her boss came back and said her last day was at the end of that week (2 days from now). She was moving and hadn't lined up a job and really needed the $ from the last few weeks...and her boss knew this. So he intentionally screwed her over. Take away: Do what's best for you. Take care of yourself before making sure the company is ok.
Sounds like something that warrants a conversation with a labour lawyer. I don't know what jurisdiction this happened in, but I'm pretty sure that a case like this where I live would not go well for the employer in court. You're not going to get "make it rain" money, but probably those missing weeks of pay plus legal costs and some punitive damages to discourage similar behaviour in the future. You might even be able to find a lawyer who will take up the case on a contingency basis. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Yep the "trickle down" mafia do this kind of abuse just out of their sheer sadism cruelty total absolute power over everything in society vengeance and spite and to send their evil "message" to threaten the other employees because they can total abuse happens often. This is why don't give them any notice because if you do they will only use it to hurt you further. Everything they do is nothing but lying thieving plotting against you how to bleed you dry and destroy you and any ability to genuinely afford a home or family
Louisiana is a right to work state. Either party can terminate the employment at any time, for any reason. Even non-competes are questionable in their enforceability here, though I have no personal experience with them. Edit: My comment is meant for reference only. I have no idea where the OP is.
I had a boss come in and fire me for cause. He said I wasn't doing my job but I knew the real reason was we ran out of money. I closed my book, grabbed my bag and got up to go and he said "you don't have to run off. You can clean out your desk and say goodbye to people." I just looked at him and said "I already did that a week ago." It was the best feeling ever.
Similar thing happened to me. Knew it was coming and had previously taken my stuff home. Even had photocopies of my licenses and certifications on the wall in place of originals. When the boss asked me if I needed a moment to gather my things, I told him "except for my staff, there is nothing of value here", handed him my keys, and left.
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 It was the best feeling I ever had at a job. Walked out on my own terms, head held high and they knew I knew it was all BS.
I gave a company 2 weeks notice, then used my vacation days that I never used for my last 2 weeks. They also said I wouldn’t be rehired and I told them “god willing, I will NEVER have to work at another hotel. If it gets to the point I need a job from you, I got bigger issues”
@@markthompson4885technically, I’d already put in for the vacation time before, and the hotel was well aware I was going through a lengthy process to get into a much higher paying job for years. I was just so fortunate that I was given the job 4 days before my week long scheduled vacation
@@markthompson4885look up the labor laws for your state. in 20 states plus DC, your employer is legally required to pay out unused PTO (unless you have unlimited PTO obviously). if you live in one of those states, go get your bag
All you have to do is process your ideas through logical filters and it becomes clear that no employer who wishes to succeed in their job could ever possibly give any employee a two week notice. You're thinking about it from the perspective of "they won't do it for me, so I won't do it for them," but you have the ability to cause them problems that they could never possibly cause you, because life is more nuanced than "everything works the same both ways."
I worked with a guy with that same mentality. "They won't give me a 2 week notice when they fire me, So I'm not giving a 2 week notice when I quit." I kinda agree with it too.
If you get fired for cause, you don't deserve notice or payment in lieu of notice. If you are laid off - ie. terminated without cause, you'll likely be paid out a notice period, any unused vacation pay plus a severance, but hey, if you'd rather just continue working a notice period and not get any of the rest of it, have at it! If you quit without notice, there might not be any major consequences. On the other hand, if you have that attitude about quitting, you probably have a poor attitude to work anyway. If prospective employers don't catch wind of your tendency to quit without notice, your unreliable attitude to work may come across in other ways which won't serve you well.
Firing need notice? Wow? So u gonna tell a worker that's gonna get fire to stay & let him have the chance to destroy everything before leaving? Outstanding(suicidal) move I would say....
@@Rnckoworks both ways. 2 weeks notice to a job gives them a chance to screw you over. Maybe cut you out early and you lose a paycheck you still needed/expected before you start your new job. I don't think giving notice to firing someone works, neither does giving notice to an employer to quit.
@@bluelunarmonkeytarot8533 "I don't think giving notice to firing someone works, neither does giving notice to an employer to quit." Only applicable to some basic desk job with computer. If it involves labour, its entirely different story. You underestimate the impact of even 1 floor cleaner to the whole chain of business. It can be the difference between finding a cockroach in premise or a perfectly normal shop. And never look down on the workers internal unionisation movement. The worse it can get is when your whole group of workers threaten for EXTORTION by saying they'll go-on-strike without immediate payout & they know u can't afford it right now. There are literally crime and syndicate specialises in human resource recruiting SCAM that do exactly this. The labour law will always favour the employer & the entrepreneur that take risk & creates JOB (more job = more tax) & protects them. Otherwise you wouldn't even get a job on the 1st place. Its only suck it up or go try urself at open a business.
Ots so crazy to me. US. Everything is corporate. Where I’m from, we wonder why someone is showing up late. Maybe depression. Try to help them. Of course. We make much less money, but others in family try to compensate. I say this, my brother missed alot of work. He was also Iraqi commando. He worked at fish market owned by a Muslim Saudi, but he give my brother time. Didn’t fire. At place like i worked at, nissan and Walmart. There’s no consideration. They just fire.
TRUTH!!! They can fire people in my state with no notice at all. I was doing 2 different jobs while there with zero compensation. I was just DONE. If they have that right, so do we.

Corporations will offer you no loyalty while expecting all of yours.
This needs to be the most up voted comment on this page. It's not enough that people have lost faith in businesses from an employer to an employee viewpoint. People need to force companies to follow safe and fair policies. It'll probably never happen, we need more unions, and it needs to be something that isn't refused by companies, nor used against potential employees for being a member of them, which both things have happened.
You better believe it.

She said, "Ineligible for rehire", like it was a punishment.
There was a casino which it will be called Rusty nugget LOL... and the guy who was one of the directors told me that I am not rehireable. Even though I did give a four - or five day notice. This is for my resignation. I can not give you two weeks because the job was ready to bring me on. And trust me, it was a better job.
So this is Knucklehead said at the end of the meeting you know you won't be able to get rehired back here again. Like this job was my life and it's going to end when I leave. I smiled widely...... and said, "You know I am not worried about that because you will never see me again!" Peace!!!!
Other employers can see that you were marked not eligible for rehire. They will wonder what you did for them not to want you back. Did you quit without notice? Sexually harass all the female employees? Not do anything you were asked to do? As a hiring manager, I am hesitant to hire ppl that have previously been marked not eligible for rehire. Legally, the prior employer can't tell the prospective employer why, and we are not allowed to directly ask candidates why they aren't eligible. We can ask why they left their last job. If we know they aren't eligible, it is easier to discern if they are or aren't being truthful.
I am not from the US so this sounds so alien to me. So how do other employers see that you've been marked inelegible for rehire? Why is that even a public thing? It being public sounds like it's an extortion tool. Wouldn't a company that actually wants you back be actually able to rehire you? Like if they make a better offer or whatever. US labor rights are SO third world man
I've had a company tell me this...gave them a week and a company tell my spouse the same thing...he gave about a week and a half. Crazy
@BaroTheMadman I wouldn't say it was "public record" per se, but it does go in your file. It has to, so if you try to come back 5 years down the road, they know not to rehire you. Things have happened and people have gone back to work at a previous employer before. However, if the new job you're going for asks the outgoing job if they would hire you again, they can say no, they just can't say why and the "new" job can't ask them or you why. They can just NOT hire you if they're thinking you're trouble.
“At Will” can go both ways .

Yes. It was pure liberation. 5 years of anxiety and frustration. Gone. Just like that. I walked out the doors and into my life. My actual life
I can only tell you how Liberated I felt. To play games and try to spite me. They scheduled me to work on the day I was starting the new job even thou it was past the two week notice I had given them. So I showed up for work ;-) Timed it perfectly then just walked over and clocked out.
It was the greatest pleasure seeing the alarms blare “clocking out before the end of your shift!”. The supervisor came over and said “What’s this about? This is all for show isn’t it? You didn’t really get a new job did you?”. I proudly told him: Yes I did and it pays 35k more a year than this place does. Oh and it starts in an hour so I have to get going now. Wouldn’t want to be late on my first day!
He said: You leav’un us hanging! Where is your Loyalty to our company? We have no one to cover your shift! I’ll have to *gasp* do it myself!
With the greatest of pleasure, I took off that dinky little vest. Handed it to him and said “This job is yours now. My loyalty is why I came to work a half shift after my last day of work. Good for you to, or I’d get over time if I worked the full shift. You’d get in trouble again if I did that right? Peace out!”
6 years later I purchased my home. Ever thankful for the opportunity to actually have a full time career with perks and benefits. Plus free banquet food on weekends, supervisor position that reports only to the general
manager who then forwards my report to the owner. Blessed

Better than the money was the thought of my former manager having to deal with grief from his manager over why someone "resigned" and still got unemployment. HA HA
They give you severance
“Will I get fired if I don’t give you a 2 week notice?” 😂
😂😂😂
🎉😅
Oh such irony, such irony.
That was my thinking: "So if I don't give you two weeks, are you going to fire me?"
Then you get to Collect unemployment 👀
Crazy how only when you're leaving they want to get a new employee but never when they're overworking you 😂

These videos are so realistic and accurate as to what goes on at most companies these days. I am loving Veronica seriously.
A two-weeks notice is a courtesy. Unless a company has shown you courtesy, you owe them absolutely none.
I've known so many people who gave notice only to be told not to show up the next day. One lady was retiring. She gave her date several months in advance, president tried to talk her out of it. She said no, I'm 75 years old, it's time. President flips out, tells her that friday is her last day. No party, no thanks for 15 years of doglike loyalty, just get out.
@@jcarry5214🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 wow that’s beyond insane. This is exactly why you don’t show any loyalty to these companies. Same thing happened to me. I was at a job for 10 years. Wasted my youth there . Worked like a dog and when I said I was leaving they said ok bye like it was nothing
I would say it this way: unless a company has been discourteous to you, being courteous is a good path to follow. It's not about owing them anything, it's about not being a dick. Also, when a future employer calls and gets a bad review from this past job, you may find yourself losing a potential job.

I left a toxic job with immediate notice 3 months ago, felt sooooo good. The final straw was them demanding that we give at least 6 months notice when we leave. All staff left within 2 weeks of me leaving and they closed their business until about a week ago. Satisfactory outcome for the workers.
This is why we need unions. It's the only way workers have any power.

I was a manager at my old job.. I enjoyed putting in my two weeks..actually i gave 3 weeks..but i got to give my employees a much needed break from alot of technical things in that period and enjoy my time with them...had rubberband gun fights with them..dance offs..etc..a blast! plus it rubbed in my bosses face how much i was loved and would be missed by customers and workers.
Two weeks is only necessary if you need them as a reference.
Composing a resume is a skill that can be learned. Additionally, providing adequate notice is a common courtesy. For instance, when I gave two weeks' notice after a decade of service, I received letters of recommendation from both the owner and the chief financial officer. Indeed, exceptional, or even acceptable work is often recognized and rewarded.
@@kalevala29 While you may have been recognized it does not mean it happens 'often'. Most people who quit and move on to a new job, do it precisely because they are NOT being recognized or rewarded.
I gave two weeks notice but because there was a holiday during those two weeks the company was saying it wasn't a full two week. It's petty stuff like that, that happens often.
Not true. In most states, if you give an explicit, bad reference the person can sue for defamation and loss of wages.
Well they also can't use that against you on your reference which is why they say won't make you eligible for rehire. It's easy for you to just tell the new employer the truth on why you left. Laws protect us more than the employer, most of us just don't know shit.
I’ve NEVER been recommended by another job. That is NOT a thing they do. POACHING EMPLOYEES… yes. But giving a outstanding review, no
I just quit my job after 21 years. I quit on a Friday morning and they were stunned. I asked my manager why he was so surprised as after 21 years of loyalty I’ve been harassed daily for the previous 8 months for no reason. He asked for 2 weeks and I asked him if he would have provided me the same courtesy if he fired me? He remained silent and I agreed to stay an additional two days, worked from home and did nothing.
They have this expectation of loyalty but it’s never returned.
I tried to get my dad to quit his job but he's too loyal to them. I don't get it.
@@Art_and_Logic Your dad?
Let me explain it to you: He ain't loyal to that company...he loyal to paying them BILLS. You don't quit a job without having another lined up, firstly. Secondly, depending on the amount of time he has there, it may cost MORE to quit and go to a new place.

One of my favorites is giving them the ole 2day notice, as in I quit today
Thats cold bro xD
I quit like this at a job once, and a much younger employee was mind blown that I did this. She was so confused that I didn't give a 2-week notice because that's what you're supposed to do. And I love to think I corrupted her by telling her there's nothing they can do about it
I don't even go in. I just call. I've never been in a spot or a job interview after asking why I left and how I left where they job I was going to cared.
"You'll be ineligible for rehire."
Girl, I wouldn't have quit to begin with if I cared that much. 😂
😂
... Doesn't that mean the company is ineligible to reemploy her?
This is hilarious because a lot of people from my job would quit and say how happy they are to finally leave, then all of them came back a year later, now talking shit about the other place.
People complain so much now, just because they can.
The only negative for not putting in a 2 week notice is losing PTO. If she's used her vacation time, it hurts no one.

You can "Prefer" all you want... YOU are not in charge anymore.

I guess I was working for an exceptional company. They gave me a month's notice and another month of severance.
One of the best things being an employee in Italy is they cannot fire you without a sufficient notice unless they can prove you did something very wrong at job. If they cannot provide evidence of your fault, they give to pay you the corresponding wage for the days of notice they didn't give you (which neans, for example, you were entitled to 3 weeks notice, if I fire you today, I pay you today, ahead, for the three weeks you would have worked for me if I had given you the correct notice by time. )

A company NEVER gives a 2 week notice when firing someone
Depends on the infringement. Some actions lead to immediate dismissal; however, it is common practice in my country to involve a labour lawyer and hold an official hearing between the employee and employer. Don't know how things are done in the Sates. Generally in SA you are given at least 3 weeks notice of your dismissal.
at the company I work we have a 3months notice, they do respect it actually
In the US, I'm sure.
Here in Germany, we have a 4 week notice both ways.
They actually do that all the time.
I would never give someone notice that they're fired, that seems crazy. We do give severance though, which, I would think, is better. You get paid but have the time to look for a new job
It’s the OBT for me. Say you’re from Orlando without saying you’re from Orlando 😂
The fact that companies will fire you without any notice is why I won’t give two-weeks notice. It goes both ways.
you are right
"It goes both ways" does not apply to every scenario in life. Look into the billions of dollars of loss caused yearly by employees purposely sabotaging companies they work for, usually when they're on their way out. When an employee does that, the employer can't suddenly go to the employee's house and sabotage their life just because it would be fair. It does not go both ways. See how that works??
@@sheer_1shut up
while they can, most don't. Most give warnings for bad performance. Layoffs generally come with severance where you'll be paid perhaps too little but something. And if they fire you, you're eligible for unemployment which they pay into. It's not nearly as bad a deal as you're making it out.
@sheer_1 how's that boot taste?

Veronica leaves no crumbs. When she says something, you can hear the finality in her voice. I love her.

Chances are if she's quitting she's no longer concerned with the company's benefit
I give a two week notice to my former job. (I had some medical trouble. then sometime I quit job earlier) But on thursday of the first week, the boss bring me at his office asking me if I will fake sickness as always to quite earlier.... I said no i will not fake but I will quite now and never come back. I said to him I will never be in a bad position where I have to endure your shity face and behavior like that!.... his face was priceless, he was never thinking that I the moment I decide to quit I didn't care about his authority
woah no way, her quitting and saying she has a new job might mean chances are she doesn't care about her current job that Shes quitting, lol no shit sherlock the girl said she'd rather sell her ass on OBT than work there, derp, I hate people's idiocy
Concerned eith the company's benefits? Like what? I am not a stock owner, I am just a number. Every single position is replaceable. I will work my job, I will listen to the pieces of advice, I will do whatever is required from me because my living, my salary depends on this. As soon as they start to mess up with my living, aka my salary, C ya filth.
I gave notice to try and help the company since I had worked for them for 15 years and occupied a critical position. What a mistake that was, I should have just quit on the day. When they couldn't come close to matching my new offer (literally half the pay), they became very nasty.

Truth...my manager was the only reason I quit. She was the worst manager I've ever had in my 47 years on Earth.
Facts... bosses/ low payment
Not always.. sometimes there's just no where to move in the company, and your best bet is to take a promotion elsewhere for more pay. You can have a great boss, but money always talks.
This myth needs to die. Yes a bad manager will cause people to quit....however that doesn't mean a good manager can magically make people want to work a crappy job.
If the job is crappy (hard labor, bad work life balance, bad hours, low pay, bad benefits, long hours, bad holiday schedule.....ect) people are going to quit regardless how awesome the boss is.
I’ve found that being extra considerate to employers isn’t really something that usually benefits you because they really only care about themselves.
Or like me and my dad, you play with them until retirement because you know all the power plays that they don't. My managers in their 20s get annoyed that I'm getting old with health problems.

I've been saying this for a long time now. We talked about how companies don't give you notice when they let you go, however companies want notice when you let them go. Stay elevating.
I have always said "they don't give you two weeks notice when they fire you so why should I give you notice to quit?"
Well, you're probably getting fired for a reason, so you are a disgruntled employee at that point and, depending on what field you are in, can do irreparable damage to the company. It makes sense, but it doesn't mean it fair.

I got laid off from a job once. There wasn't notice. Company didn't care about giving me two weeks to prepare for the change. In fact, they waited specifically so they hoped I wasn't even at work when they wanted to get rid of me. I scheduled vacation, and the manager refused to approve it but kept telling me to go ahead and take it and she'd approve it later. The first day came, I showed up to work anyway, and the manager marched on the floor, all smiles, calling out for me, hoping I didn't show up. When I walked out from behind a machine and said I was there, that smile just dropped into the biggest scowl I'd ever seen, and I got taken into a small room to get my severance package sorted out.
Short version of this: Company Loyalty is a one-way street, and it isn't going to be in your favor, ever.

Never trust the "we will figure out later", because that is just an excuse to put you at fault and clean their hands of the problem.
If you want to me to do X, send me an email or a formal notice requesting X. A corridor ask is not going to do it.

...How cheap and awful. I bet she was looking to fire you for being a no-call/no-show, and for taking and "unapproved" vacation.

Of course there was no notice. Lay-offs are not fun for anyone. Would you have been productive at work after getting the news? Most people aren't. Would your mood be a great boost to morale for the people who aren't leaving? Most people's wouldn't. Would you do something stupid if given the chance? Maybe not, but some people have. Companies won't take the risk. There is no reason to keep someone around when they've been laid off and most people don't want to. Your severance package is compensation for a number of damages caused by your termination without cause, including the lack of notice.
That's why you record, whenever they say anything outb of the norm.

I put in a two week notice at the job I worked, I was a salesman I did my best to prepare management for being down one salesman by explaining all the contracts under my name (about 9 or 10 jobs) I worked with the manager to explain all of them and give as much detail as possible. After I left not even a week goes by and I hear from some friends that still worked there that he was talking shit about me and how I left them high and dry and didn’t help any. Point being, companies couldn’t care less about you even if you do it right. So fuck em and go live your life, it’s just a job.
I just sent a resignation out saying today was my last day in this corporate job that was draining all my energy and wasn’t even paying me my worth. I have another job lined up. It feels good.
I was always told to give two weeks notice. When I was a young man I was moving my family out of state to a new job in a less expensive area and gave my employer two weeks notice.

Somehow I was able to scrape the money together to make the move. Literally limped into our new town on bald tires and totally broke. Best decision I could’ve made.

Veronica came PREPARED. When she was start talking about Amy, the double standards are SO clear.
I worked at a manufacturing plant once as a machine operator. I enjoyed my job and had a great manager. Upper management was horrible though. They eventually fired my manager without notice, just walked him out one day. They installed a ‘yes man’ to his role who was hyper focused on “safety issues” such as wearing ear plugs and safety glasses at all times, even in the break rooms. It didn’t take long for us machine operators to start looking for other jobs. This industry is very specific, there aren’t a lot of people who know how to operate those machines. After the company refused to listen to us and start threatening us, we all left without notice at around the same time period. There were a few that stayed, but that was because the company offered them big bonuses and raises to do so. That was 8 years ago and I’ve never regretted by leaving that place.
What were the other things? Because requiring to wear PPE is standard practice, I don't see why people would leave because of that

They couldn't fire me for 'non-performance', because I was a stellar employee, so they fired me for not calling in for 3 days. They had a policy that if you don't call in for 3 days you can be terminated. Since I was unconscious in the hospital and I couldn't call in, and you can't fire somebody for that, it turns out you can fire somebody for not calling in. Corporate America baby!!! 🤦🏻

@@plain_meI’m so sorry that happened to you. There should be laws to protect people who are unconscious in the hospital. 😢

Nailed it!
Two weeks notice is a thing of the past. When my daughter was seventeen. She told me. She wanted to quit her part time job at the movie theater. I told her to do the responsible thing and give written notice. Cause in my generation that's what you did.
Later that day. She came home early. Saying when her manager read her two week notice. He released her right on the spot. To this day, I feel guilty giving her such bad advice. I'm her Dad. She trusted me. I didn't recognize the world is changing. And not for the better. 😢
The problem is, when most people give notice, they've already mentally quit. They view the two weeks as a chance to get paid for goofing off or ripping off the company. As a security issue, lots of companies will make the termination immediate.
@@kurtamesbury6679
Which is why, you don't need to give notice. Just quit.
I had a company do this when I gave my three weeks notice, but they paid me for those three weeks, while I looked for a different job. It was such a toxic work environment, but apparently my bosses bosses boss. Was a great guy. He stepped in after I qualified for unemployment due to the toxic work environment. My boss was fired after I gave my exit interview. Man, that felt good. I kept a file on everything she did to make my life hell.
You have to know whether or not you live in a "right to work" State. No timeline or REASON to fire an employee or to quit.
That's okay. Fool her once and she'll never be fooled again
Worked at a crackerbarrel, did every job except front of house, told them i was joining the marines, out of nowhere my recruiter told me my ship date to meps was pushed up and i had 3 days to get ready, told my General Manager and he said " Sure buddy! No problem! Just dont forget to leave the apron and uniform and dont forget to visit us on leave! " in broken english, he was a cool ass moroccan guy, witty and down to earth and respectful, best GM i ever had.
I did this same thing 6 months ago. Not regretting it a bit. To them you are a never ending resource because there’s plenty of other people who will take your job. Do what makes you HAPPY!
You said the quiet part out loud. Never understood why companies are allowed to ditch you without warning because “it’s an at will state” but it would be a detriment for our careers if we dare not to give ‘em two weeks to theoretically replace us (and I know they don’t because after someone quit I had to take on their work without a raise)
True! I left on short notice once, but the company had to hire two full time employees to handle my position. Within a year, the company's mismanagement caused it to go bankrupt. The owner of the company had hired all 3 of his daughters into management positions. One had an affair with the VP, one micromanaged to the point that nothing got done, and the youngest left after getting married.
This. I gave a job unofficial notice like 2 months out because I was moving states and I knew the month I would be leaving, but didn’t know my official last day. I still gave 2 weeks notice when I figured out my official last day. The entire time leading up to it I kept asking my manager if she had figured out a replacement and that I was happy to help train them so that it would be a smooth transition for our team (at that point I cared way more about my coworkers than her). She kept telling me that she was working on it, but not to worry about it. Two days after my last day she texted me asking if I could come in for her because she was sick (this was a constant anytime she didn’t feel like coming in, but I was usually fine to pick up the extra hours). It was so satisfying to remind her that I didn’t work for her anymore. She acted like she was surprised and said, no I thought we had one more month? And I was like feel free to check my letter of resignation that I submitted two weeks ago to check the date when you get in. 😂
Because they are legally required to pay into unemployment.
Is it that they "won't" or "can't"

This is in Orlando! OBT is a main street. Orange Blossom Trail

Employment is mutually beneficial. I once quit a job after the boss told me that I was on "his time." Let me say this as clearly as I can ... EMPLOYERS RENT MY TIME FROM ME! I don't "owe it" to anyone and no one else "owns" it!
Employers buy your time with wages
@@ve_rbOnly if you let them.
@@ronaldviens7862 obviously
OBT 😂😂😂😂 Orlando, Florida people know that Orange Blossom Trail "OBT" is the stroll. 😂😂😂😂
I once gave a two-week notice, but my manager said, "Why wait, you can leave now."
Boss power move.
That's typical
Wow. 😂
It's happened to me at the last 3 jobs I've had. I even try to give up to a month if possible
That one is especially fun when you ask “Would you rather consider it me resigning or you firing me?” Because… unemployment.
Nothing stops them from dropping you immediately when you give a notice.
Yea there is lol unfair dismissal
It's better for both sides 🤷
Only in the USA

Veronica speaks for us all in corporate America. Love these shorts.
Not just corporate America: corporate Everywhere.
Veronica speaks for mostly unsuccessful, unhappy job hoppers who will consistently underperform and act like they're the glue holding a company together.
I love the voice actress that portrays Veronica. Her attitude and approach are inspiring.
I gave 2 weeks notice when I left a job because I respected my manager, and he gave me a reference for my new job. I straight up quit a job at Walmart at the end of my shift due to piss poor management and unreasonable expectations.
People quit bad management.
As long as you understand that you’re also quitting your coworkers and probably making their lives more difficult as they work to cover your shifts.
As a Walmart employee I can guarantee they would hire you back if you quit on the spot. I’ve witnessed this scenario multiple times 😂😂😂
100 percent. I’ve even given more time for managers I liked and respected. Good managers are extremely rare these days.
my previous job at quality wall disrespected me on a daily basis, so I announced at the end of last day that I quit. When asked about 2 weeks notice I said that I give zero fcucks and expect my papers to be sent to my home via postal office. They even had the audacity to call me 5 months later begging to return because they lack people in quality control department.
@@lukas8708 Yup. Good employees are extremely hard to find these days. You think the businesses and managers would wise up and show respect, but for inexplicable reason it’s the opposite, just more and more abuse 😤🤦♂️
How ironic. My 23-year-old sister wrote a scheduled email to her manager and HR to send at 9:30 p.m. yesterday. She wrote the email on Sunday and went to work Monday to return company equipment. She did her job as usual. Her manager messaged her this morning, asking if she had jury duty. Two hours later, she replied, “Hi. I sent you and HR a resignation email.” He said, “Oh, I didn't get the email.” She didn't reply. She didn't tell any coworkers she planned to leave the next day. Sis even packed her tiny Ferris wheel off her desk in her work bag and left after work. I'm proud of that girl for leaving the toxic corporate world.
This is how I want to leave, quiet chaos.
@@anncokafor *Please ensure that you are not in contractual work first because if that is the case, you must fulfill it, or there will be financial/legal penalties* . However, if that's not the case, you owe no toxic employment or employee explanation. Silence speaks louder than words. If you leave quietly, you will save yourself from the heartache of negative vs. positive people in the toxic environment surrounding your leave. A few months ago, I also left my position as a manager for a global operations company. I gave them a three-day notice because of my P.A., good co-workers, and incredible employees.
You usually are required by law to give the employee or the employer sufficient time to permit transfer of knowledge. Sending an email on a weekend and not returning to a place of work is not a very mannered way to do thing, no matter that its a toxic workplace. You are not a kid, you indicate you won't be working with them and they have 2 weeks to close the files you were working on. You could actually tell them (or HR) at that time you prefer to leave immediately, especially if you believe it has an impact on your health. Working in a place is a contract, the employers has a contract to give you work everyday and not get rid of you if they don't have a good reason, you have a contract to do your job in exchange for pay and give them time to replace you once you leave.
This would not apply if you have been working there for less than 6 months and if you are not a full time employee. Hell guys, learn to be respectful, the other employees even bosses are humans too.
@@EarendilTheBlessed law in which state/country? Do you happen to have the statute handy also?
@@EarendilTheBlessed There is not a single law on any books that requires 2 weeks notice or absolutely anything similar. Get the boot out of your mouth.
A friend of mine gave almost a Month's notice and 2 days later, her boss came back and said her last day was at the end of that week (2 days from now). She was moving and hadn't lined up a job and really needed the $ from the last few weeks...and her boss knew this. So he intentionally screwed her over.
Take away: Do what's best for you. Take care of yourself before making sure the company is ok.
Sounds like something that warrants a conversation with a labour lawyer. I don't know what jurisdiction this happened in, but I'm pretty sure that a case like this where I live would not go well for the employer in court. You're not going to get "make it rain" money, but probably those missing weeks of pay plus legal costs and some punitive damages to discourage similar behaviour in the future. You might even be able to find a lawyer who will take up the case on a contingency basis. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Yep the "trickle down" mafia do this kind of abuse just out of their sheer sadism cruelty total absolute power over everything in society vengeance and spite and to send their evil "message" to threaten the other employees because they can total abuse happens often. This is why don't give them any notice because if you do they will only use it to hurt you further. Everything they do is nothing but lying thieving plotting against you how to bleed you dry and destroy you and any ability to genuinely afford a home or family
Your friend was a dumb ass. Who quits and tries to move with no job lined up and no $?
❤solid advice
Louisiana is a right to work state. Either party can terminate the employment at any time, for any reason. Even non-competes are questionable in their enforceability here, though I have no personal experience with them.
Edit: My comment is meant for reference only. I have no idea where the OP is.
"I'd rather sell my ass..." priceless!!! Abs are hurting from laughing so hard! Thank you!
I had a boss come in and fire me for cause. He said I wasn't doing my job but I knew the real reason was we ran out of money. I closed my book, grabbed my bag and got up to go and he said "you don't have to run off. You can clean out your desk and say goodbye to people." I just looked at him and said "I already did that a week ago." It was the best feeling ever.
Similar thing happened to me. Knew it was coming and had previously taken my stuff home. Even had photocopies of my licenses and certifications on the wall in place of originals. When the boss asked me if I needed a moment to gather my things, I told him "except for my staff, there is nothing of value here", handed him my keys, and left.
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 It was the best feeling I ever had at a job. Walked out on my own terms, head held high and they knew I knew it was all BS.
Based.
@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 you KNOW its bad when you have a framed photocopy instead of a real cert
I gave a company 2 weeks notice, then used my vacation days that I never used for my last 2 weeks. They also said I wouldn’t be rehired and I told them “god willing, I will NEVER have to work at another hotel. If it gets to the point I need a job from you, I got bigger issues”
my last job would not let me use vacation time after i gave two week notice
@@markthompson4885technically, I’d already put in for the vacation time before, and the hotel was well aware I was going through a lengthy process to get into a much higher paying job for years. I was just so fortunate that I was given the job 4 days before my week long scheduled vacation
@@markthompson4885 See thats why you put it in and get it accepted BEFORE you put in your 2 weeks
@@markthompson4885look up the labor laws for your state. in 20 states plus DC, your employer is legally required to pay out unused PTO (unless you have unlimited PTO obviously). if you live in one of those states, go get your bag
@@markthompson4885
That sounds illegal. At the very least, they should pay you for that time. I understand losing sick pay, but not vacation pay.
I've been through alllll these situations, exactly! Employers want a two week notice but won't give us one.
All you have to do is process your ideas through logical filters and it becomes clear that no employer who wishes to succeed in their job could ever possibly give any employee a two week notice. You're thinking about it from the perspective of "they won't do it for me, so I won't do it for them," but you have the ability to cause them problems that they could never possibly cause you, because life is more nuanced than "everything works the same both ways."
😂😂😂😂I didn’t give a rat arse when you let Amy go last week 😂😂😂
I worked with a guy with that same mentality. "They won't give me a 2 week notice when they fire me, So I'm not giving a 2 week notice when I quit." I kinda agree with it too.
If you get fired for cause, you don't deserve notice or payment in lieu of notice. If you are laid off - ie. terminated without cause, you'll likely be paid out a notice period, any unused vacation pay plus a severance, but hey, if you'd rather just continue working a notice period and not get any of the rest of it, have at it! If you quit without notice, there might not be any major consequences. On the other hand, if you have that attitude about quitting, you probably have a poor attitude to work anyway. If prospective employers don't catch wind of your tendency to quit without notice, your unreliable attitude to work may come across in other ways which won't serve you well.
@@brettski74keep kicking that 👢.
And im someone whos held 2 jobs for atlest 8 years. Gonna laugh when you don't get any notice.
Firing need notice? Wow? So u gonna tell a worker that's gonna get fire to stay & let him have the chance to destroy everything before leaving? Outstanding(suicidal) move I would say....
@@Rnckoworks both ways. 2 weeks notice to a job gives them a chance to screw you over. Maybe cut you out early and you lose a paycheck you still needed/expected before you start your new job. I don't think giving notice to firing someone works, neither does giving notice to an employer to quit.
@@bluelunarmonkeytarot8533
"I don't think giving notice to firing someone works, neither does giving notice to an employer to quit."
Only applicable to some basic desk job with computer. If it involves labour, its entirely different story.
You underestimate the impact of even 1 floor cleaner to the whole chain of business. It can be the difference between finding a cockroach in premise or a perfectly normal shop.
And never look down on the workers internal unionisation movement. The worse it can get is when your whole group of workers threaten for EXTORTION by saying they'll go-on-strike without immediate payout & they know u can't afford it right now.
There are literally crime and syndicate specialises in human resource recruiting SCAM that do exactly this.
The labour law will always favour the employer & the entrepreneur that take risk & creates JOB (more job = more tax) & protects them. Otherwise you wouldn't even get a job on the 1st place.
Its only suck it up or go try urself at open a business.
Veronica is so kind. I was going to hand in my resignation 30 minutes before I knock off. That way you eliminate any unnecessary discussions.
Just leave the keys at her desk walking out.
Or just finish the day and never come back. To that job lol.
I went to lunch one day and my boss asked where I was. I said I was taking a permanent lunch break.

Ots so crazy to me. US. Everything is corporate. Where I’m from, we wonder why someone is showing up late. Maybe depression. Try to help them. Of course. We make much less money, but others in family try to compensate. I say this, my brother missed alot of work. He was also Iraqi commando. He worked at fish market owned by a Muslim Saudi, but he give my brother time. Didn’t fire. At place like i worked at, nissan and Walmart. There’s no consideration. They just fire.
TRUTH!!! They can fire people in my state with no notice at all. I was doing 2 different jobs while there with zero compensation. I was just DONE. If they have that right, so do we.
Exactly. Never give 2 weeks notice, it does not help you. Sometimes they will fire you right then.
