Hello, just thought I would provide an update to my post if anyone is interested.
I posted a couple of days ago on here regarding my pet sitting job. I needed clarification on whether or not the company could charge me/withhold wages due to me quitting without giving proper notice, which the handbook states as two weeks, even though Texas is an At-Will state.
I'll just make it short and sweet.: As title suggests, I am quitting with one day notice even though common consensus was to provide two weeks. My main reason for wanting to quit was because the owner of the company schedules me to care for her dogs, which currently live in an abandoned home. The problem is that the dogs live in crates for 22-23hrs day, and that since I've been employed (hired Sep 2023) she has run out of food three times and had water shut off (turned back on only because I complained). I've expressed my concerns before but it seems that she doesn't care. I told myself the last time the dogs went days without food that once it happened again, I would quit. And it just happened again. I told her yesterday she was out of dog food and she still has not purchased food so they have not eaten since last night.
I am currently writing my resignation email and will complete my schedule for tomorrow since it's such short notice but will not provide two weeks since they don't deserve it.
TL:DR Ima quit my job because im tired of my bosses dogs starving due to her not giving a shit about them.
