HokeyReligions Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I found a new job. I start on July 13th. I gave a 2-week notice to my manager. She got in a snit and called me on Thursday (yesterday) and told me to leave now. Ok. No big deal. I expected it - others have been done the same way. Except that I hate it for the two people who I was training to do my work after I was gone next week! We were planning on working this weekend to get the remaining special projects done and train fully. Of course, the department manager doesn't give a poop about that. Since she accepted by original resignation she had to pay me for next week too - so I get a weeks paid vacation on top of paying me for my unused vacation which was 85 hours. So I get a check for 125 hours above my final two week pay. Smell that rose baby! What a beotch that woman is. The company has lost about 15% of its workforce because it's losing contracts and clients under the new management. It's also losing good people - even in this economy! I actually had two job offers when I selected one and quit. Plus - I got a call on Wednesday from another place I applied (I really want to work for them) and they were asking for my demob date because they want to talk to me in October. I am going to keep that option open and see how this new job goes. In spite of that twisted weirdo that was my manager - I got great references from the people I actucally work with! Now I'm just holding my breath hoping that the witch doesn't try to sabotage my new job since I don't start until the 13th. If she does then I won't even get unemployment - but boy will I ever put up a fight! She made a point (and HR backed her) in saying I was NOT fired -- which actually I was since she had accepted my resignation and then decided to terminate my employment a week early. And by telephone. She even had IT close my computer remotely -- while I was in the middle of working and with no advance notice. If that's not fired - what is? I'm just so happy to get away from this place. I was there for 4 years and watched new management run the place into the ground. The company's name is mud in the industry now - especially when it lost all it contracts with the big oil company that was this one's backbone. I have a week paid vacation! OH! And my new job Pays More and has better benefits -- its a larger company with a good reputation!!!! :) Link to post Share on other sites

imani Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Congrats, Hokey. I'm not familiar with the background on your job, I am so happy you are yet another one who is able to move on and get out of a bad work situation. Yes, even in this economy. Good for you! Your Independence Day came one day earlier. Enjoy your few weeks off. Link to post Share on other sites
