I got a great opportunity to work at a large international company making roughly 30k more per year and I took it. I’ve known for a month I just had to wait for background checks to clear and well they cleared me for hire yesterday.
So this morning I go into work and give them my notice (with a couple options). They chose instead to terminate me on the spot. Luckily I have enough in savings to cover the check I will miss, however Christmas may be delayed. I feel terrible for my kids hell I might just put everything on a credit card and pay it off when I get my sign on bonus.
Lesson learned I will never give 2 weeks again, it’ll be “Today is my final day I start my new job Monday”
