I recently moved to a new state (NC to be exact) and had a bit of hard time finding a job at first. Plenty of options and interviews but nothing stuck. I started working at Lowes about a month ago and it has been going well despite not quite my desired job. Good people, good hours, decent pay cant complain.
This last week I was contacted by a remodeling agency I had applied for. Who after interviewing, called me back the same day and offered me the job. They knew I was already employed and offered me to start in two weeks with a near 4$ per hour increase from my current pay rate at Lowes. I took it gleefully as I loved working in the remodel industry,(it was what I did before I moved here) and definitely could use the extra pay.
Now to the hilarious part. I go to work this last Friday and I ask my supervisor about putting in my two weeks. He’s super a cool dude whom I’ve gotten along with well and has always treated me with respect. He was a bit bummed at first but happy I had found something better and he helped me send the notifying email to the right people. Another guy who started the same time as me walked past us and upon letting him know, he said he was planning to do the same thing today!
Supervisor was again shocked but happy for us both.
Fast forward to this Tuesday and my supervisor tells me what a hell of a night he had at work Monday and that it’s nothing new. He then causally tells me that he also just put in his 2 week notice cause he found a job with less bs and more pay. Our department manager walked past us noticeably glaring and we both just laughed and high fived as I congratulated him.
Before I left on Tuesday yet another worker in my department said she plans to put in her two weeks on Wednesday(today). Making 4/6 people in the department working on a 2 weeks notice, leaving only part time employees to deal with the fallout of all the full time ones leaving haha!
I am off until Friday but I cannot wait to see the shit show that will be this weekend.
