You might loose your business if I quit? cool story bro

I'm so sick of this in my job. I work for a small contractor who owns maybe 15 trucks (semi trucks) and I finally put my foot down and quit for a better company. I've gotten a few texts this week about how he's trying so hard now to keep the company afloat. Like… cool. I've been here for over a year and given out my all and have not seen any changes that make me want to stay. I'll make a list. This is mostly for me so I can look back and read these the next time he tries this in like 2 days. 1.”Fantastic maternity leave.” I worked until I was in early labor. Didn't ask for restrictions until 7.5 mo. Until then I was still doing all the heavy lifting I probably shouldn't have been. They gave me 30% of base pay which I never ever…


I'm so sick of this in my job. I work for a small contractor who owns maybe 15 trucks (semi trucks) and I finally put my foot down and quit for a better company. I've gotten a few texts this week about how he's trying so hard now to keep the company afloat. Like… cool. I've been here for over a year and given out my all and have not seen any changes that make me want to stay. I'll make a list. This is mostly for me so I can look back and read these the next time he tries this in like 2 days.

1.”Fantastic maternity leave.” I worked until I was in early labor. Didn't ask for restrictions until 7.5 mo. Until then I was still doing all the heavy lifting I probably shouldn't have been. They gave me 30% of base pay which I never ever make. Which amounted to 400 bucks a week before taxes. I normally make 1500-1700 a week. I stayed away for a whopping 3 weeks and came back because I couldn't afford not to.

  1. Broken equipment that kept costing me money. I'm not moving, I don't get paid. My truck has had the same oil leak for over a year and it's still not fixed. Not even over maternity leave. The new company is offering me a truck that still under warranty.

  2. Salty about being offered a promotion because the manager left for a week and didn't come back. No call no show for a week. Phone was off too. She came back and was immediately given the position back.

  3. Linehaul sucks. Read some previous stories. They are on a mission to micromanage me and make my job as hard as possible. The new job says I never talk to them unless I can't find a trailer or something.

  4. Night hours suck with kids. I've got two under 2. New job is offering me second shift work which is fine.

  5. I haven't had a weekend ever. I took Saturdays originally to give the manager a better chance at finding babysitting. The flat out told me I'll never get Saturdays because they need it as an incentive for the new guys

  6. They gave out my information to my stalker and deleted the email that I could've used in court.

  7. New job is offering 6 figures with the way I work.

Please tell me why I feel bad about leaving?
