Oddbean new post about login | logout @7502a322 of course. And if I were your employer I wouldn’t hold that against you, especially if you were always a standup dude that gave the company all you could. I should say I have experience in what you are talking about. I worked for a company in Denver that was making gobs of money, so much that they easily could afford to be really dysfunctional. They wouldn’t hire people on. I had to work through a temp agency and really good people had to work through a temp agency for years.
@7502a322 I ended up quitting to relocate to Alaska in an attempt to save my first marriage. I had to give a little less than two weeks notice because the next company wanted me to start sooner. They got a little tweaked that I wasn’t giving them two weeks notice. I responded to them saying they never gave me any commitment, so I don’t feel real bad about giving 9 days notice instead of 14. The next day they escorted me out. Those type of companies deserve to fail but they won’t.
@7502a322 moral of that story is I was way better off relocating than sticking around there hoping they would figure it out.
@90aca61c I think there should be some reciprocity. If you require two weeks notice before I quit, you should give me two weeks notice before you lay me off. If you wait until Friday at quitting time to tell me that I have to work all weekend, I should be able to tell you Friday at quitting time that I'm not able to work the weekend. Most of that type behavior is poor planning on management's part and they want superhuman behavior from you but shitty leadership from them.
