What the title says, I’ve worked here almost 2 years, getting paid minimum wage working over 35 hours a week. I recently got accepted into a great remote finance internship that will greatly further my career, so I finally gave my two week notice. For context, we only have 5 other workers at my restaurant, which is greatly understaffed, and one of my co workers just put in his 3 week notice yesterday, he’s worked there for over 4 years. The reason he’s quitting is because they gave him a hassle when he took time off for his uncle’s funeral, and my mangers husband who’s a co manager, told me how he didn’t believe he was talking time off for the funeral, and implied he was just calling a day off, I recorded it and sent it to my co worker, he quit the next day.
When I told her I was putting my 2 week in, her face started twitching, and yelled “are you serious?” I replied with “yes”, she continued with “you can’t just give me 2 weeks, I need more time to find someone else, first him and now you.” She walked away and didn’t talk to me the rest of the shift. Later my co worker called me telling me she called him into work on his day off to talk to him, asking him “did (insert my name) say anything this week for you to quit” he told her no and that he was planning this for awhile, she than said “I bet his internship is fake, he couldn’t land a position at (insert company name)” I can’t believe she said something like that behind my back, who knows what else has been said to her husband and others.
As you can tell it’s super toxic environment, it’s a restaurant and one of the most dirtiest places I’ve ever seen. So tell me, am I making the right decision?
