Antiwork

Final two weeks.

So, I told my boss I would be leaving by the end of April three weeks ago. I told him and my coworkers I am going to be starting a small business. He still hasn’t found anyone to replace and has been getting more and more frustrated with me as my time there comes to a close. Well, actually I told him I would work for him 1-2 times a week while my business ramps up. This Monday I left at 5:03 like I am supposed to and the secretary told me that when I left my boss told the project manager, “On the minute.” Like I had done something wrong for leaving when I am supposed to. Mind you the project manager shows up whenever she feels like, and makes all kinds of bs excuses about why she can’t go in to work on time when he isn’t around…


So, I told my boss I would be leaving by the end of April three weeks ago. I told him and my coworkers I am going to be starting a small business.

Well, actually I told him I would work for him 1-2 times a week while my business ramps up. This Monday I left at 5:03 like I am supposed to and the secretary told me that when I left my boss told the project manager, “On the minute.” Like I had done something wrong for leaving when I am supposed to. Mind you the project manager shows up whenever she feels like, and makes all kinds of bs excuses about why she can’t go in to work on time when he isn’t around because of her dog. Everyone in the office including the boss is fed up with her, but for some reason he still keeps her around. In this job I am considered a consultant so I don’t get any benefits and no PTO. I was promised a raise and benefits after two months and all my boss said was, “Let’s wait until you have some more mileage.” It has been nearly 6 months now and seeing as how it feels like I have to pull teeth with this guy after asking for something I was promised I doubt it will be easy to ask for more money or benefits in the future. They are still looking for someone else but honestly with this boss and project manager, I don’t see any reasonable person staying there long.
