Worked for a Fortune 500. 2022 I had enough. Non union, two stints of 21 days in a row being notified at last minute in the middle of little league season. Saturdays on short notice. In early, out late. Berated if I left on time. Tried like hell to train and motivate people. They didn't care. To keep sanity in my house I would call off for my wife to give her a break which put me at the verge of termination for attendance. I only used 2 sick days for myself when I absolutely needed them.
2023 wife got sick around V- day. Used FMLA for all my sick pay and floating holiday (company time). Started a new job in that time and walked the FUCK away. Getting paid from both for additional 3 weeks and have left over vacation that I'll still get paid from old fortune 500.
Now. Union job, leave on time, less responsibility, more pay. Everyone here seems happy. On occasion I feel bad for no notice. Miss some people. I'm sure that feeling will go away soon.
HR asked if I thought I should have given notice. Then went fishing for info. Remember they are only there to protect the company. She didn't care about my situation. Just how it would affect the company. Place sucked my soul dry.
Much love to ALL!
