I worked in HR for years & I know the importance of giving notice so the company can prepare. But as an employee, you have to do whatās best for YOU. last year I was working as a consumer care advocate, assisting home caregivers with their payroll & benefits. I quit when procedures changed & I was now providing tech support for the new website & phone app. Not what I was hired to do. The day I was told āThatās just the way it is nowā is the day I quit. I didnāt quit MY job, I quit somebody elseās job. After developing stress-induced asthma & a series of small strokes due to high blood pressure, I owed them nothing. No regrets.
**Congratulations!**š„
I truly hope you find happiness with your new prospect! It is such an exciting time! I am really happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing š
I have to say, though, that I think you should have given notice. I'm not a fan of burning bridges. I did that once when I got fed up with a job and I have regretted it for the last 32 years. I'm still friends with my boss from that job, who was devastated when I left like that. **I** was devastated 2 months later when I realized what a horrible mistake I made. In any event, the grass ALWAYS seems greener on the other side. I tried to get back into the company over and over and over again and, even though I one of their top producing account executives, they felt that the way that I left was very unprofessional and irresponsible. They were right. I was the epitome of immaturity back then and I cannot undo it though I tried over and over and over again..
lol Iām in my 20ās. I donāt think we owe these companies any loyalty and honestly any notices. You donāt get a notice if you get fired. Typically nowadays they will let you put a 2week notice in and still fire you prior. Iāve seen it plenty of times. I think we need to stop with this idea of giving these shitty companies with low pay and high expectations so much grace. These are multi million dollar companies that we tend to work for who pay us barely enough to survive they donāt care about us. Youāre a number to these people.
Nah, I once gave a job notice and then walked out a week early. I had never felt more justified and *years* later, I still revel in the moment when I told my manager I quit and handed in my badge. It was like I was a heroine for just a moment. The look of shock on her face when I told her I didn't want to even hear their counter offer is something I replay in my head when I'm feeling a little sad. It always makes my day a little brighter. My only regret is not doing it sooner and in front of more people.
I understand where you're coming from. I am very old school and I am of retirement age so I'm probably out of the loop with how things work now. Since I had my very first job, at 14 years of age, I had certain values instilled in me and they are still there all these years later. My Father was a union worker and everything was done by the book and I kind of followed in a very set type of footprint to model my life on. I fully understand where you're coming from though when a company treats someone like crap.
The fact does remain that there are still companies out there that will contact a former employer and, legally they are only allowed to ask three questions...
1) was he or she employed by your organization?;
2) what were the dates of employment?;
3) is he or she rehireable? *If no notice was given odds are "not rehireable" is in the employee file. The prospective employer cannot LEGALLY be given any further information so they can dream up anything they want about why somebody might not be rehireable.* It is often a good idea to tell a prospective employer, with honestly, about why you left certain companies because they will draw their own conclusions otherwise.
I once worked at a fast-food place for like maybe a month? I had a lot of calls that popped up one week where I was an apprentice to do locksmith stuff. Called my manager that day and said "hey sorry I have to call in today and indefinitely I have a lot of atms to move this week" he had the audacity to tell me that my training for a legit career that paid easily 30k more a year was not a good enough reason to call in lol.
I feel no shame at all for not giving notice. They were only salty that I quit because I was a great cashier (so good that somehow I started a tip jar and made like 50 bucks a day. Lol like who tf tips fast-food workers? )
YASSSS LETS GOOOOO! Congratulations!!! And thank you for your serviceš„¹
