Month: February 2022

((RANT)) I am directly my yuck towards the American people in this sub. Damn near every situation posted to this sub can be solved by FIXING your resume, looking for a new job while you have a job, get the new job, then leave your abusive ass place of employment. Or, anonymously report your employer to the Department of Labor using the shitty emails, and the shitty hand written postings that your employer put on a wall. Or, have a friend pretend to be customer that “accidentally came across” one of the shitty abusive new rules that the dumb ass manager thumb tacked to a wall. That friend can go HARD on twitter, yelp, the local new station, their suppliers, their vendors, the local church, fliers on every car in town, the cars at the local hospital, etc to expose the abuse. Oh I almost forgot… If you are struggling…

I’m going to paraphrase a text exchange I just had with a former employer. A little backstory: Here are just a few highlights from the past five years of my life. Found a job listing on an industry specific website with a vague description, no mention of compensation, and a very strongly worded prerequisite for any who dare to heed the call: No lying. Embarrassingly, I actually liked the idea of a falsehood-free workplace. having found myself countless times on the receiving end of, shall we say, strategically redacted truths and or bold faced lies from coworkers and employers alike. Doubly embarrassing that it took me a few years to uncover what I now understand to be one of a few universal laws of human behavior: We project our own shortcomings on to other people, because we incorrectly assume that everyone behaves like we do when no one is watching…

Looking for if there could be any potential repercussions my employer could use against me for not giving '2 weeks notice' as I am employed full time. I have scaresly any paid time off saved up as I've been off due to covid and returning is very off-putting due to having time to look around for better employment. I currently have a new job already confirmed through a friend so I don't need a reference from my current employer. Curious as I have no doubt they would make my last two weeks as taxing and unbearable as possible and I wouldn't mind skipping out on that entirely as I have 0 intention of returning to this company after I leave, thanks
