Hello, first I must say I’m loving this thread. I’ve been stuck in a job that I absolutely hate for the past eight months and was just hired doing something that I previously did and absolutely loved. This thread helped me get out of my current position. I know it’s antiwork but I have found a position I know that I will love because you guys helped me see toxic things in my workplace.
I put in my two weeks notice on August 15th, however I did my math wrong and said my last day would be September 2nd. So I technically gave a three week notice.
However, things just keep getting worse at my current position. I’m given the cold shoulder since I put in my notice, my boss is doing random drawer checks, cracking down on us for failing something that literally was out of our control and she has no right to yell at us about, and so much more. On top of that she’s treated me like shit since I gave my notice.
I have my schedule for this full week and am scheduled to work on Saturday. I’m really tempted to say that my new employer would like me to start sooner rather than later that way I can have a week off before I start my new job because I’m so burnt out and get the hell out of my current job. The issue is that I:
A: don’t know how to do this.
B: put in my notice on August 15 for September 2 – am I right in thinking that’s 3 weeks?
C: have been scheduled for a Saturday and it’s a lot to do to leave the company so a last day is preferably a Friday, and I really don’t want to screw over my one coworker I like for Saturday. But I literally just cannot deal with the toxicity anymore.
Any advice on how to do this? I have such high anxiety and this job just makes my anxiety worse and makes me feel lesser than anyone. I’m scared to do this and want to go about it in a professional way. I just cannot do one more week because I am so mentally drained and angry and burnt out and upset with how this company has treated me.
