    Default Your last Job.

    I'm curious what type of workers you all are

    On your last job, whenever you left, did you:

    1) Leave without giving notice.

    2) Give a 1 week or less notice.

    3) Give a 2 week notice.

    4) Tell them to STFU and leave as soon as you found something else?

    5) You don't work.

    6) You were fired.

    This needs to be a poll. I always do my best to give the traditional 2 weeks notice, although it's usually a bit shorter than that. As long as the employer tells me that they're well covered and can handle it, it's no problem.


    In terms about your sig, I like how when it was Mark the mods took all that action to keep things on the downlow. When it was Maniac in Leadfoot's sig, all they did was compliment it. Funny how that works I guess. Oh well.

    I left without warning because they pissed me off. They didn't give me the promised raise, didn't offer me the promised benefits, AND tried to bill ME for part of a Worker's Comp dr. bill.

    I worked at CVS, I was a "Photolab Technician", I liked doing the photo's but they made me do other bull shit like carry shit upstairs, trash, run cash register, face the store, vacuum, ect.


    EDIT: I am jobless. Fucking gay, but better than CVS.

    I gave my 30 days notice, they pissed me off one day, and then I walked out. Sent an email to my boss and told her I wasnt returning. I had a new job lined up already.

    People say I shouldnt burn bridges, but those dumb fucks at Bellsouth never did anything for me anyways!

    I think i have some bullshit happen to me, we were rearranging the office when everybody put their belongings and personal items in/on their new desk. Now imagine you new supervisor(who doesn't know her elbow from her asshole) tells you that that was her desk that you moved into and you gotta move. I just told "her move it yourself im done here bitch" those were my last words before i walked out

    Sometimes when you give the two week notice, the job tries to make those last two weeks hell by putting you on some bullshit project or assignment

    my last job was applebees and the manager made me really really mad because I called out cuz I was sick and he said you have to bring a doctors note..well i didnt have the money to go to the doctors and didnt have insurance..I said ok I will..the next day I didnt call or show up for work, and they called and called and called..well two days later I called back and said obviously I quit..then the manager rambled on about how I'm not doing the right thing and I shouldn't just quit without having something else lined up especially since I have a son..I said dont worry I have something else and hung up..

    None of the above. I worked in public accounting and one of my clients wanted to hire me out as their on-site accountant. I told one of the partners at the firm about it as soon as they made the offer, we both knew it would happen eventually. I stayed while they looked for my replacement, plus, I had to do everything that has to be done to move 600 miles so it was about 5 or 6 weeks between notice and my last day.

    Job before that, I gave about 6 weeks notice as well because we had to hire and train someone.

    I've always done my best to give a full two weeks. You never know when you'll need than reference, even if you hated the job.

    I used to work Roadside assistance for a company called auto rescue.

    Those fools were fucking crazy! Expected me to be on call 7 days a week for a measly $400-$450 a week check plus I paid for my own gas, and killed my car in the process.

    so it was more like a 300 dollars a week.

    god I hated that job!

    i worked at a vet for 3 years as my last job and was sick of all the BS, but i didn't have a backup job -- so i asked my dad to help me out with bills for a few months and bounced the hell outta there lol. Gave them less than a week's notice right before the busiest damn time of the year. long story short: i fucked them. (just returning the favor)

    Funny thing about the mic situation is we had a worker named LUKE. Well one day, we had a big meeting in the back room and there was like 4-5 out there in the front and Luke was one of them. I'm cracking up as I type this, lolol. Anyways, he walks by the video section and someone gets on the mic and says "LUKEE IAM YOUR FATHERRRR", impersonating Darth Vader, lololol. CLASSSIC !

    Damn, you were nice!

    My last job, contracting from several power companies........after being with the company I worked for (for about 4 years), I was promised a $3 hourly raise, and a $5000 bonus upon completion of the last project. So after the project was completed, I got a $1 hourly raise and a $500 bonus. (Greedy mofos!)

    Well, lets just say, I still got my "bonus"........I paid off one of the supervisors, and turned in about 4 weeks worth of work (not only did I do this, but the work/info I turned in was fabricated! There was a 5% chance it was correct, so it all had to be redone), this being after I quit without anyone but the supervisor knowing. In those 4 weeks, I was on vacation (FL, CA, NY).

    A few weeks later I got a call from our boss, bitching, complaining, etc.........."How can you do this? You were one of our best guys, if not THE best!"
    ME: You know we talked about the bonus check I received, you said there was no mistake on the amount; it was only 10% of what you promised, so I made sure you "kept your word". Is there anything wrong with that?
    He was pissed!!!
