So a while ago I was going through some heavy mental health issues. Tbh im still dealing with them but i decided to explore other work opportunities (im a CNC set up machinist).
I found a good job opportunity through a friend that currently works at an Aerospace manufacturing company that pays a couple dollars more starting and has great career advancemend potential, I interviewed and was offered a job litterally before I got home from the interview.
While I really liked where I was currently working as it was comfortable and I wasn't micromanaged at all, I felt stagnant and I really want to get an opportunity to get into programming. I've already invested a few thousand dollars of my own time and money learning this skill, putting myself through college and everything and my old boss gave me zero interest in allowing me to move into this position. Even though he's been looking for a “unicorn” programmer for over a year. I offered to get my certificate in Mastercam and learn all responsibilities and other programs needed to fill the roll and he basically avoided my question.
I was supposed to work my last weekend shift starting today. But I got a call from him yesterday basically saying he's “giving me the weekend off”.
I don't know how to feel about this. I partly feel it's some last minute wierd power move? Like dude. So now I get to start my new job on the 2nd short 36hrs of work on my last paycheck.
I just love the whole: you owe me 2 weeks notice. I owe you zero notice.
