I work as an hourly employee for a company in California. The position is not what was described or expected at all. This place is super disorganized, full of drama, and it seems like there’s some shady business going on at the company within the industry. I started 11/1 of this year and my boss had originally been somewhat flexible with my schedule but as time has gone on she’s changed her mind a few times, then cuts hours here and there because the CEO is a cheap bastard. There is a serious lack of transparency and professionalism all around so being upfront or open with my boss and/or HR is not an option. I need to do what is in my best interest and cover my own ass.
I received a way better offer for a new job elsewhere and have already accepted it.
Typically, I know 2 weeks notice is preferred and the courteous thing to do but I have not given notice yet. My start date at the new place is 1/9. I’m planning for my last day here to be next Thursday 1/5 because I really can’t afford time off in between jobs. Because of the current circumstances at this company I’m fearful if I put advanced notice in they will just ask me to leave immediately or cut my hours down significantly. Any advice would be helpful on how to proceed or what protocol would be in this situation?
