I’m a college student home for summer, and I got this great job as a pharm tech. $20 an hour, which is much more than I’m used to, it’s not too stressful, just all around a great job for a summer vacation.
About a week ago, my boss called me in to ask when I’d like my last day to be, since I’m returning to school in a few weeks. I said august 3rd, so she asked me to put in a written 2 week notice 2 weeks before that. I said sure, they’ve been good to me overall and if this helps them I have no problem giving them a notice.
Yesterday was 2 weeks before the third, so I went in and asked how to do a written 2 week notice (do I need any official documents, would writing it on a post it work, etc). She then told me that they just hired a bunch of new people and today (now yesterday) was gonna be my last day there. She said that I didn’t do anything wrong, there just wouldn’t really be anything for me to do, and since I’m leaving soon anyway they chose me to get rid of.
Again, I had an overall positive experience there, especially compared to other jobs I’ve had, it just bothered me that they were so insistent on a written two week warning but then let me go with only a few hours warning.
