Was I hired by mistake ?

Met my boss the other day for the first time irl, our interview was online, and they said “I hardly recognised you without the beard”. I haven’t had a beard for a couple of years now.

I plan on not going to my weekend shifts because I didn’t received half of my pay twice in a row.

They only paid me half of my salary twice in a row. So I am not working another hour until I receive my money. What do you think ? I already talked with my boss about the issue and he told me to come in my rest day to “solve” the problem.

And guess what? I’m leaving my job the second week of May and heading to Bogota. I landed a fully remote, part-time position in my field that pays well, has a flexible schedule, and allows me lots of room for creative freedom and growth.

NEVER GIVE NOTICE

My wife gave notice today – and they termed her as of today to not have to cover her insurance into April … They don't respect us giving notice, stop respecting them with a notice – leave on the day you want to, preferably during the first of the month to screw them out of insurance premiums and then utilize the hell out of it ….
