My job pushed and pushed to get everything done by the first of the year. They ran out of work for me and let me go. They now want me to write a letter of resignation.
I told them a month ago I was starting up my own business but I wasn't giving notice, yet.
My business is direct competition with them. I actually sold my previous business to them and all my employees were hired by them.
Everyone knew within two weeks of my announcement against my wishes because I knew if it was out there it would cause a lot of personnel issues. Well loose lips sink ships and when my coworkers found out they all are leaving.
One is going out to another competitor just on the edge of our area. One is leaving for a higher paying job in a different field. Another is falling back on his llc and doing his own thing. The only one left is a relative of mine who says he's leaving but that's been lip service for over a year.
They are losing two other employees that they can't replace due to hire no shows.
There is no way they can hire anyone to work for them in the near future. Totally screwed.
Wish they could get their shit together as they are leasing the property from my family and they can purchase it, have the money but, we'll, suck at personnel skills.
