So last week I emailed my boss to let her know that I was putting in my week and a half notice. I told her to call me whenever bc she was on vacation. She calls late in the evening and got really upset with me. She goes on about how next time I leave a job I should give them a two week notice and what I did was wrong. (I know it was wrong on my part but keep reading to understand why it’s a week and a half) She states that she’s 20 years older than me so she knows what is right and what is wrong. I continue to tell her how appreciative I was bc we honestly had a weird work friendship. She acts like the boss but also, in her words, she wanted to be like an “older sister” to me. So after I expressed that, she says “you know what don’t do that to me. I know what you are trying and it’s not going to work on me. It is what it is. I asked you if you could do it after I get back from my vacation and this is not right.”
So here is the background info. I let my boss know that I expect to be here for about a year (a month in since I started). The job I have pays me little for the crazy amount of work that I do. It’s not a career path I see myself for the next 5 years. 2 months ago I started to look for a new job but wasn’t super deep into it. So when we had a meeting she asked for the millionth time again if I was planning to stay. I let her know that it could be less than a year. My boss constantly asks/convinces me to stay. So it gets pretty annoying. 3 weeks ago, this company that I had applied for awhile back before this current job sent me an email that they’re looking to hire immediately and are interested in me.
Before my boss went on vacation we had our little meetings. I told her about them reaching out to me and there’s a possible meeting soon. She was being nosy af but she can’t match what they’re offering me. She understands so she knew that I 100% was not going to stay. She told me to let her know about the appointment date I have with them and she said “if you do plan to leave, could you do it after I get back from vacation?Like 2 weeks after. ” And I said sure I can try but I can’t guarantee it bc it’s immediate hiring. Also, I am quite offended that she wants me to quit 2 weeks after she gets back from her vacation. She did that to another girl who worked with me and I honestly just think it’s ridiculously selfish. Why should I accommodate to your schedule when this is my decision and career? Am I wrong on that? After the phone call, I am convinced that she was only mad at me bc I wouldn’t accommodate to her.
So my thing about this whole situation got me feeling annoyed and confused. Ever since that call she has been extremely petty. I have 2 days left and I still work hard. I’ve sent her emails regarding the work I do and she ignores the emails and doesn’t respond back to me. But she can responds to the other coworkers who sit besides me? weird.
I see what she’s doing and I’m utterly disgusted by the unprofessionalism she is displaying. She took this way too personal.
