One time this happened to me, the gratification of leaving the shift lead by himself felt great when I left. Main reason was the shift had conned new people out of their money, myself included, and the boss blamed us instead of him. Yeah, I was out 🤣
Employers will try to lie to you and mislead you as much as possible to get as much labor out of you as possible, when I was working at a gas station and overnight was not showing up consistently, I told my manager if overnight shift does not show up one more time I am not staying after 10 PM and he said that I would be legally held liable if the store where to get robbed and well, I quit, nobody’s in there because I wasn’t there either, well I didn’t show up and six months later I’m still free.
i did that once, had to call out for 2 days because my ride who also did worked there did not want to go, told me i was no longer needed was like too bad worked till lunch when ii told my ride what happened they replied with screw this play lets just get a new job so we left. they said nothing to him about missing 2 days
Remember folks: if you are an at-will employee, with no contract saying otherwise, then you do not have to give two weeks’ notice at all, you can just leave.
Yes, you can. But it's not neccecarily smart to in many cases. It's very useful to have contacts for future employers, and not putting in your 2 weeks is essentially saying "fuck you, goodbye", and they will NOT have good things to say about that. That being said, sometimes that extra contact isn't worth the 2 weeks of work in a shitty job.
@FinnishArsonist most jobs don't actually care about that stuff. They only call to verify you worked there. If that. Also, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for current or past employers to bad-mouth. I don't particularly agree with that (so long as it'snot slander), but I've heard somewhere that's the case.
Only reason I gave mine is because they have a policy that if you don't give one and you have pto left over you're not getting it. I give and reminded them that I knew about it. They began to drag their feet so I happily sent them a screenshot of their own policy, they tried to pull a "oh we don't instantly give that to you." Funny because after I gave them that reminder I got 4 consecutive payments for each week of PTO I had. I always told my coworkers about that.
Dude I’m 19 and I did summer jobs when I was younger. I did a ton of manual labor and worked at pulling out trees and giants bushes and etc. Anyways, I loved my first year working cause the manager was just SO GOOD and chill and nice so I worked a second year. Big mistake. My second year manager was a pain in the bootie and was a perfectionist and didn’t trust us workers to do ANYTHING. I quit that job within 3 weeks.
Funny enough, my last Manager was mumbling about how someone told him that at his last job like someone said that to him and got under his skin for it 😂 I don't blame them after working for him.
I had to stop doing this in the shower cuz I echo too much and I have to just do it after in front of the mirror 🤣 and I usually don't get to finish those arguments anymore cuz I've been really busy lately.

Such a polite coworker. That was such a nice thing to do. A real son of a gun would have NOT told their establishment the law (since it's your obligation to know the law as an establishment), asked for the check, left, waited about a month, then took the establishment to court for not paying their wages aswell as a MONTH's worth of overdue fees. Luckily, your coworker was a nice lad
@@lolwtnick4362ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT! Congratulations on being an idiot! Literally all you need to prove is 1) you are no longer employed, doesn't if you quite or fired due wages are due each state varries but they have a prompt periodthey are allowed to send it, some states mandate that at terminationof employment ALL due wages are paid immediately (within 3ish days) some others allow for remainder to go on nxet pay period. (timesheets would prove that unless they are lying about that and faking numbers in which case you have a larger lawsuit on your hands) 2) That they didn't pay you your final wages (once again, the pay records crossed against timesheets would prove that unless once again they are faking that as well.) If both of those points are true, and both can be verified by both company records and your timesheets and pay stubs they are breaking laws. You don't have to prove anything, they are legally required to follow the law, it's literally that simple for a reason.
My boss did this. I was quitting to go into placement year. I was talking about it for months. I gave one month notice when I only need to give 2 weeks, if that can is I was a zero hr contract. The week before my last day he put me the timetable and said I never accepted your notice and I don’t have it in writing. He knew I was on holiday that week and state you don’t work for them, you work for us. I just ignored all his call for the next month. It funny because the assistant manager got me a leave cake and did a speech. So clearly they got my notice.
Zero percent chance she would've "taken him to court". She probably was getting paid less than $20 an hour. She was correct about the law- but the threat was meaningless

I mean they can. I kinda like it more because I can get unemployment but leaving on your own terms is nice if you have something else lined up or you just have had enough.
Exactly. The employee is better off being let go than quitting unless they have something else lined up. Voluntarily resigning forfeits any right to unemployment compensation whereas certain terminations will still cover the employee for unemployment benefits. Termination with cause (eg performance issues) do not qualify the employee for unemployment though the employee can challenge that claim in labor court. I’ve done it & was awarded unemployment as it was determined an unlawful termination (the employer lied about it being a performance issue & I was able to prove that) despite being in an at-will state.
It happened once to me, the HR lady was like, but you are too young to be taking this decision, and I was like if I was old enough to come and apply to this job, do all the interviews they asked me to do, then I am old enough to quit, turns out I find out that they would rather employees not put their resignation and fire them just so they can portray a "better" image of the company
@@87Ahoff87 Incorrect in many states. All it takes is making the offical documentation state a cause for firing you and that automatically disqualifies you from unemployment eligibility, even if it's fraudulent or retaliation because it then becomes *YOUR BURDEN* to prove to the state that the claims made by your previous employer were lies, and that's IF the state will even hear your appeal. I was fired upon discovering my boss had been embezzling from her own company and defrauding the state of sales tax for years and had hoped it was a bookkeeping error or maybe something I didn't understand, but no, and my wishful thinking gave her time to formulate a whole built up lie that I could have easily disproved but the state never even gave me an opportunity to appeal the automatic denial. This is why 2 weeks notice is the worst thing and you wait until you're starting your next job, or have already started if possible, because laws are written to benefit businesses, *NOT* workers.
School will NEVER teach you ANYTHING about work... unless you luck out and have a teacher at some point that ACTUALLY cares about making sure you're properly prepared for the real world, lol
The only thing school has ever been good for is basic people skills Which bullying and outcasting will more or less make even harder to gain. Not to mention depending on where you are you will learn less than any other district. Administration bias and faculty which hates it's students aside only makes for even worst connection and learning room. I personally only graduated because one of my teachers risked her entire job just to convince the actual administration to let me pass Mind you the principal was a perv who constantly tried to hit on her in and out of class He also pulled me aside to more or less intimidate me into knowing he's the reason I passed But that has nothing to do with my original point School as a whole is tainted by corrupted and power hungry ass holes who don't care for their students nor our future The ones who do get paid less and or fired for "controversial" teaching because it isn't the standard which doesn't work on everyone
The audacity to refuse a two week notice while also expecting one! They do realize the notice isn’t a request, it’s a notification and they’re lucky to be getting one.
Lol I guess some bosses don’t understand that a two week notice isn’t a request…it is simply doing them the curtesy of informing them of what WILL happen. 😂
in high school i gave in my 2 weeks and my manager was like okay w/e and then on my last day i went into her office and gave her the usual it’s been great thanks for hiring me speech and she was STUNNED. she was like what do you mean it’s your last day why did i not know about this?? and i was like jen i gave you my notice two weeks ago. and she was like well we haven’t gotten a replacement for you you have to stay on an extra two weeks and i was like nope sorry not my problem n she said you’ll never work again if you walk out that door and i was like jen i don’t think my manager from a retail store job i had when i was 16 is going to make or break my career after college. anyways i already have another job lined up kbye
Gave my regional director 3 days notice because I knew if I gave her 2 weeks notice, she would try to pile my plate with unnecessary tasks. I explained in my exit interview that I refuse to work for a company where my boss says “I don’t see why you can’t work 7 or 8 days in a row, this isn’t California”
@@SulphuricPotatoe I always saw school as a way of finding what you're good at find interests and also a place to socialize with people your age. BUT if you're talking about preparing you for life then I guess you're right
My boss told me I was overreacting over a situation where her sister (another manager) screamed at me and I felt spit on my face, despite my age I was the longest lasting employee there and I had trained both of them, I told her I’d give her my two weeks to find another shift lead (I was the only one opening from 6a-10a) and she said no and I should just try to forgive her sister, I then sent my official two weeks to the store owner and she removed me completely from the schedule, and then they couldn’t open the store until 11a for almost a month 💀 gotta love 40+ y/o beef with a 17 y/o

I used to work at a bar 2 years back as a highschool gig. I got this job at a much better place full time and put in my two weeks (which in my state, you can just quit…two weeks is just a formality) and my boss excepted it. The day before quitting day, my boss tried making his yes man inform me I was still working the full weekend. I went to my boss and he told me “oh no, the two week notice starts the week AFTER you put the notice” keep in mind I was already working at that full time job at the time as well. I called his bs, he got mad, begged me to work the weekend, I said maybe and didn’t return for the days they tried bullying me into. Bosses will try their damndest to try to milk you dry, especially if your of millennial or gen z like me
In every state 2-weeks is a formality. Also, how can you work in a bar in high school. When almost every state requires sellers of alcohol to be over the age of 18-21. Maine is the only state that allows people at 17 to work in places that all a minor to sell booze, and most bars won't let anyone under 21 in. I think you aren't telling the truth.
If anybody EVER gives you strife when you put in your two weeks the proper response is: “The two weeks notice is a courtesy you just lost the privilege to. Goodbye.” And explain that to the next place you seek to work at. If it’s a place worth working they’ll understand.
I used to work in a bakery with a wildly toxic, "We'RE fAMiLy" vibe. I ended up dipping eventually, but had a friend that stuck around a little longer. They finally found another job and put in their two weeks, only to see themselves being scheduled waaaay after their last day. My boss said she assumed they were just being dramatic and genuinely got pissed/panicked/angry when they were told that assumption was their problem.
Yea so did I. I worked at Chick-fil-A, and they were so serious about the we’re family shit. So glad I got fired. Made me realize just how toxic they were now that I work at my new job.
It's always so important to know your rights but it feels like while workers laws aren't outright hidden from people, no attempt is really made to make sure the general public is aware of their workers rights
See that just seems crazy to me. Here in Australia, every industry and some specific jobs are covered by what's called an Award. Basically, second-level worker's rights specific to that industry. I've never seen an employment contract that doesn't tell you which Award you're under. I don't know if they're legally required to but I find it hard to imagine that every company would voluntarily put that info in there
Big true. I live in a country where workers rights are extensive, seen as extremely important and unions are everywhere but barely anyone knows more than how much PTO they have let alone that their bosses can't walk all over them so none of that actually matters. If most people would do something against that so many factories would stand idle...
When I turned in my two weeks notice at my first job, my boss said, "I don't accept. Just kidding. We'll miss you. Good thing you'll be here to help with back-to-school things." My two weeks were up a week before back-to-school activities started. Idk what he was thinking.
@@VictorianRabbit3456They'll try to withhold your paycheck, even though it's illegal these scummy managers know that minimum wage high schoolers/college students can't afford to take them to court
they act like they have a gun pointed to our heads. like nah it’s not that hard to find another job, it’s hard finding the right job that treats you with respect tho.
We have the amazing ability to have *every specific law of our state* shown to us at the press of a button. Some parts about my generation I despise but I just love this
My brother had a lot of coworkers quit for various reasons, mostly because of issues with a new manager, and his work expected him to pick up slack for them and treated him worse than the new hires. They probably figured he wouldn’t quit because he had stayed, and didn’t want the new hires to quit when they were already short staffed. He put in his two weeks and then when he went to work to see they scheduled his last two weeks with horrible hours and mostly consisting of the only thing he hates doing, he told his manager he wouldn’t be coming in the next day, or any other day. Then he texted his coworker groupchat saying bye and then left the group before they could kick him out, as they always do when someone quits. Petty, but kind of legendary
Yup, and laborers are realizing they don't have to put up with that shit. Nuances apply ofc since not everyone who recognizes their shitty employment situation has the ability to do that but at large its good that people who can are more willing than ever (by ever i mean last 2 decades at least) to respect themselves enough to shove it to shitty employers
Had to use this law once. My employer held on to my last paycheck. 4 months later when she received the notice we settled out of court for 10x the original amount
Important lesson to do your homework when you quit. I'm leaving my job in March most of the supervisors know that I'm changing careers to go to school. One of the higher-ups at the company that I worked at heard when that I was leaving and told me that I would never find a place that could make as much money while I go to school. Then I also explained how my pension, vacation time, lieu days and sick days legally had to be bought out upon my leave as a full-time worker. Which was equivalent to a half-years salary. And explained to him that because I was hired from the union and not by the company, I could be hired back as a fill-in for the summer when the majority of people are on vacation. The look on his face when he realized he had no legal decision in this was priceless. Even if you don't wanna quit for the money. Make sure you know the best way to stick it up to your terrible boss.
To be fair, if coworker gives you two weeks notice, they're just saying "I hate this job, but I tolerate you" Just take it, don't try to fuck them over and just let them go because they're being generous to you.
Gen Z faced a global pandemic as soon as they were out of high school. That's like facing a Sekiro boss as soon as you finish the tutorial in Animal Crossing. The fact that society collapsed in on itself as soon as they joined it taught them a very important lesson: _Do no harm, but take no shit_
As a GenZ who never put together in my head that the pandemic happened in *2020* and therefore means that a bunch of GenZ were in their first few years of adulthood and college/uni or just entering, holy shit! This makes so much sense!
@@ATF- Funny. Every single one of my Gen Z friends either didn’t go to college or dropped out due to the pandemic. My cousin did stay in college, I believe. I have said endless times how grateful I am that I was able to make it through college and high school before it hit. They were the only good things in my life. Y’all missed out on such amazing experiences. If you can, go to college. They say there is a college triangle. You can only pick two things. Grades, sleep, or social life. Somehow I balanced all three pretty well. Definitely go for the experience. It’s a waste of damn time unless you are definitely going to use your degrees. I thought I might, but things went to sh*t for me. It was definitely a blast for those four years though. I always tell everyone to go. Definitely don’t just work crappy jobs and live with your parents. If you end up in massive debt, so be it. Apply for grants and if possible scholarships and just go to a mediocre school so you can stay in a dorm.
You're making it too deep man. Every gen faces some kind of crisis as they age. This one is just lucky to age up in a workers economy. If we do get a recession and jobs become more scarce you'll see that individial gains are meaningless if you don't change the system.
Remember: 2 week's notice is an act of kindness towards your employer and coworkers. It is NOT required. If you're being mistreated, you do NOT have to wait two weeks to leave!! Giving notice is for employers who treat you like a human. Giving notice is nice if you want a good reference. You can't get in trouble legally for not giving notice.
The same happened to me. I had to essentially threaten about a lawsuit because they kept saying that they "lost the papers" and I needed to keep coming in because technically I hadn't done my two last weeks.
I did the same exact thing not too long ago up here in New York. I gave him a 2-week notice and they tried to withhold my pay after the two weeks saying that because I didn't work there anymore I wasn't entitled to the money that I earned while working there still during those two weeks. I brought up every single code that they were violating which happened to be actually seven due to the type of work I was doing and I gave them a quick calculation showing that if they didn't pay the roughly $1,900 that they owed me for the two weeks worth of work that I did. It would almost triple by the first week that they didn't pay me and there was already stacking interest due to them not paying the first week worth of pay. They ended up having to settle for $2,700. All because they want to be spiteful that I left because they were hiring new people on that had no prior experience in the field for more than what I was making as someone who had been there and was taking on managerial roles.
i remember when i quit my job at the sawmill. i said to my boss "i'm moving on to other things but there is no way to train my replacement in two weeks" on that day i gave my two month notice. quitting dose not just effect you, think of others and how they will get along after your gone.
@@bezier108 100% if they have done you wrong. i just can't help but think the employer saying "no you are young, angry and the realty of life, rent and food has not set in yet. i will not accept your resignation tell you claim down" is a stand up and honest deed. there is also the difference between leaving and quitting.
I quit and my boss acted like it didn’t phase her. She was fired a month later because the company realized that she actually didn’t do her job and I wasn’t actually being a whiny young adult trying to cause “DRAMA”. 🙂
Not necessarily there are so many laws, rules, and regulations unless this was the owner of a small business they probably wouldn't know this. There is a reason larger companies have legal departments both to ensure the company is compliant with whatever legal requirements exist it can get complicated really quick
French here and quitting my job - in France we have two main ways of leaving a job: quitting in a dry manner, like "hi here is my official request, you have 2 months to deal with that, at the end of these two months I'm OUT", and there's the "amicable" quitting that involves a sort of severance package + makes it easier to get social help to have the time to find another job. Except ofc the average employer will push for the former quitting to not have to pull money for the quitting employee. My advice in that situation is to go for the second style of quitting, they have a month to get shit done + the employee can have the assistance of a union to make sure the employer is not fucking around and negotiate the amount of money to get more than the legal minimum on top of providing legal advice. Anyway, that's your sign to unionise.
This literally happened to my coworker. They’re not taking him seriously, they think he was hotheaded and not thinking straight. I had to sit him down and tell him that those assholes don’t get to dictate what he thinks, feels or does. If he wants to quit, he can give his two week notice and if they put him in the third week schedule, that’s on them. He can’t allow them to manipulate him.
My ex boss is like that (i still love her shes the only reason im at this job she just works under another person now whos starting to piss me off) but like to explain my insane devotion to my “boss” (the one I like) she helped me get diagnosed (autism and adhd) and I lost motivation like 4 times during that process so like id die in her place given the chance. She is legitimately the only reason im hesitant to leave because Im not sure ill find someone who I trust as much as I do her at another job but there have been several instances where Ive second guessed my perceptions and shes just been like “no no no continue”. The new boss I think is starting to realize that my “boss” created a monster because I asked to work 10 hours instead of 12 to which she did not answer so I asked again and she acted like I was insane for daring to ask so I was like alright and decided in my head to start searching for a new job she messaged me like a few days ago and said I could work 8 instead of 12 if I wanted. Which I appreciate it but I would’ve appreciated it a lot more if you hadnt tried to use my poor memory and focus against me less than a weak ago
I'm so glad, as an gen z, My managers accepted my wishes when I gave em my 2 weeks notice when I quit. I had to have my mom teach me how to quit properly, since she was more experienced in both an regular employee and an manager in her experience. (Not blaming the chick in the video. If the place is too toxic to work in and can't handle the stress, then thats perfectly reasonable to quit and never look back. I hope she finds an better environment while making money)
Lupus taught me that IF I am able to show up today, I will work. If I don't show up its because I can't. If I'm late, my late presence should be a welcomed surprise cuz I will be working that day. Here's the thing, I wanna work and want my job...but I'm not gonna die for it anymore. I can find new jobs.
I gave a month’s notice at my last job because I work this kids and I really cared about the job I was doing! I gave them ample notice and even made sure my last day coincided with the beginning of a week long school vacation to give them MORE time to fill my position. My supervisor screamed at me in his office when I informed him lol
There’s one a friend of mine did. “In lieu of payment”. Whoever quits immediately has to pay the other one month salary. The company was owing him one month salary, so he wrote them he’s forgoing that to fulfill the condition to terminate his relationship with them immediately. He quoted the section of the labor law. They kept quiet when they realized they didn’t have a case
I feel like I'm the only one who has bosses who accepted, were still nice, and blessed me on my way when I gave my 2 week notices. One boss even gave me a goodbye party since it was around my graduation time, too.
that's probably the result of the shorts/tiktok creators constantly telling us about these easter eggs in the law and if it ever ends up helping me out i don't mind
EASTER EGGS HAHAHA I think this is the perfect summary of my generation's approach to life. Silly names for serious topics we might know more than our parents because of strangers in the internet and playing the system as if it was a board game
A 2 week notice is a courtesy, not a request. It is "Hey, here's time to hire my replacement." It's also "in 2 weeks and a day, I won't be showing up anymore."
Older generations don't appreciate there IS actual knowledge on the internet and the younger gen that knows how to harness it can run circles around them.

@Tilden Cats Yep, that's *definitely* the reason people are becoming homeless. Not rising rent prices, mental instability, drug use, trauma, lack of support networks. It's those darn kids refusing to work regardless of their rights that's the problem.
@Tilden Cats Hey, so, uh, literally go choke on a cactus. I'm 26 and I fought and scratched and clawed and worked my ass off to make it out of homelessness and I can still only just barely afford my rent with an associates degree I wish I could afford the time to use as a transfer degree to get a mechanical engineering degree, and a year of Shift lead manager experience, several years of service industry experience, a year of retail experience, a year of warehouse experience, a year of construction experience, a year of security experience, several years of electronics assembly and repair education, and basic network security education/ knowledge with the tiniest bit of coding education and knowledge. I'm also neurologically and psychologically disabled. I have medical certification from specialists and letters of disability but have been repeatedly denied any disability assistance. 40 hrs/wk is very physically demanding for me but I do it because I have to. And I'm the exception, not the rule, for being able to make it even this far with how difficult everything has increasingly become. So, sincerely, I hope your level of difficulty to survive in life increases to the the same levels we experience and the level of capacity to overcome it you can maintain decreases to the same levels we have struggled to achieve due to many new intense and ongoing misfortunes you will soon encounter.
@Tilden Cats Yeah, I already finished crying about it for December last week. I'm good on that until towards the end of January. We are currently in the "remind those who don't, can't, and/ or won't understand it how unethical it is and why that makes them a shitty person" phase of the cycle.
@Tilden CatsI'm pretty sure we're gonna be in the "arrest, try in court, imprison and or execute congressmen, senators, judges, district attorneys, and other various executive, judiciary, and legislative sofficials about it" phase of our long term sociological cycles in the next few decades.
@Tilden Cats My predictions? Yeah, I'm not *terribly* confident it'll go *quite* that far. How nations handle coups/revolutions/rebuilding after natural eventually inevitable societal collapse has been changing slightly since the industrial and digital revolutions.
I’m 29, and worked many jobs due to bad management and not wanting to run the store on minimum wage. I’ve managed many and even started businesses and sold them to make cash. Long story short, the two weeks and the three days technically aren’t even legal laws. You can leave that day. Best yet you technically don’t have to tell them. It’s common decency to do so, and give notice so they can find replacement but it’s absolutely not mandated of you depending on your state. My state they can fire you for no reason, yet you are told you need to put a two weeks in if leaving…. But I’ve never given any company unless I truly loved them the chance to know or hire. Why? Because they didn’t give the number of employees I’ve seen fired the chance to find a new job. They can’t decide what they want and don’t want but treat their own workers differently. 😂 I’ve ran my own business now for over 3yrs and haven’t worked for the “man” in over 5yrs.

Yep, I had a job with Sprouts and put in my two weeks notice. I was nice about and they paid my last check two weeks late. They kept holding onto it telling me to call again each day, I put in the wage theft claim and all of the sudden my check gets overnighted to my house. I got an extra thousand dollars for a 400 dollar check lol
FYI, 2 - Week notices can also backfire depending on whether more people are performing your duties. In my department where I work, after a person submits their two week's notice, the employment is immediately terminated on friendly status. In some states, the company has to pay out those two weeks, but not in Texas. Of course, there is a valid reason for this. Our company has a lot of information they don't want going to competitors. As such, once they know a person has submitted their two weeks, they get them out of the building to prevent any possible theft or destruction of company data.
In most states he wouldn't even have to sue. Call the wage and labor office, and not only do you get yours, everyone else that had these issues gets their money too.
Knowing the laws that can protect or harm you is just smart. I have used laws to get a heavy handed landlord to accept the fact that we were leaving without notice and we received our full deposit back as well. They entered our home without notice or permission several times for non emergency repairs. They knew they were screwed and settled on our demands in writing without arguing.
Let Granny pipe in. The two week notice thing does not apply to you. You are what is called an "at will" employee. You have no contract. Meaning, you can quit at any moment without repercussion. This is why they can fire you on the spot. However, if you are maybe an office worker, that signs a contract with that company, you are bound in the contract to give notice when you are going to quit. This way they have time to fill an actual position. They also have to give you notice of being fired, in most cases. Unless you pose danger to other employees. Then, they can just tell you to leave. So, if you work fast food, Walmart, or a mall job, two week notices don't apply to you.
In any office position. two weeks notice is what you give if you don't want a bad reference or a ding on your history. If you list this employer in your work history, they can say you did not give 2 wks. Not a good look
@@kerplunkety I believe that's what I kinda said. Office jobs can be a bit different. However, they were talking about fast food jobs and the like. Of course if you quit on the spot, you probably don't want to use them as a reference.
This may be country dependent (maybe state?) but I've NEVER been with or heard of a company in the US that has to give employees notice that they are being fired, and I've been working in a corporate office setting for many years. Quite the opposite in fact, if you are being fired, they can have your access shut off while you are in a meeting with your boss & HR telling you that you are being let go, and you just walk out (sometimes with a security escort). One the other hand, I've never signed an employment contract that requires me to give two weeks notice, it's just what you do so you don't burn that bridge and they give you a good reference. Now I'm not talking about layoffs which usually happen differently, but unless it's a massive layoff situation, they still aren't required to give you notice then either.
@@iamfbjreturned Not a clue. Lol Maybe for another fast food job? But, if you're fast food, just don't use that one. Lol pretty sure it's not their first job. If it is, just pretend you haven't had a job yet, and do better. They don't fire folks for nothing. Fudge the date gap, and move on.
This is nice to see. It's not one of those 'life hacks' where he was trying to get free money. He did the respectful thing and when that respect wasn't returned he stood his ground and showed he was serious. I wouldn't go as far as to say today's generations of workers are smarter though, each generation has to learn from the mistakes of the last. We just have more to work with.

I had a boss that wouldn’t accept my two weeks. Instead he helped me develop my career into a different field within the company; even gave me a reference to a good college, which the company helped subsidize. This was almost 10 years ago, but it help tremendously.
Good job you got roped into a job that THEY decided for you when you wanted to quit and you let them push you around until you were the perfect worker for them. Good fucking job being a moldable fool dude. 👍
DUDE do you hear yourself? All you really did was let them turn you into a moldable moronic fool, by letting them reject your notice and letting them make you into the perfect worker for them. Use your head more dude you got played.

A boss of mine did say I was overreacting once, I stayed the first week, halfway through the second week he was back on their bs and I just didn't show up to work. A day later I saw an email begging me to still showup. He wanted to meet later then went loosey goosey with my last check. That place sucked and I found out a couple years later there was a class action against the company for unpaid overtime and some other stuff. Amazing.
Imagine a boss refusing to accept the fact that you are quitting
I had that done. I quit on the spot my manager was like no you can't.
One time this happened to me, the gratification of leaving the shift lead by himself felt great when I left. Main reason was the shift had conned new people out of their money, myself included, and the boss blamed us instead of him. Yeah, I was out 🤣
Imagine thinking you can tell people wether or not they can quit, 😂
Employers will try to lie to you and mislead you as much as possible to get as much labor out of you as possible, when I was working at a gas station and overnight was not showing up consistently, I told my manager if overnight shift does not show up one more time I am not staying after 10 PM and he said that I would be legally held liable if the store where to get robbed and well, I quit, nobody’s in there because I wasn’t there either, well I didn’t show up and six months later I’m still free.
@@nunyadambusiness3530 that is so messed up, think what your boss said to you was illegal not quitting
Imagine if you were getting fired and you said “Nah, you’re overreacting, I don’t accept” lmao
For real like “come on your over reacting you don’t wanna pay my unemployment”
They would have you arrested for trespassing in a heartbeat.
i did that once, had to call out for 2 days because my ride who also did worked there did not want to go, told me i was no longer needed was like too bad worked till lunch when ii told my ride what happened they replied with screw this play lets just get a new job so we left. they said nothing to him about missing 2 days
This is the comment right here. Lol
For real, it doesn't seem to work the other way around, does it. Lol
They literally do. It’s fucked up.
Remember folks: if you are an at-will employee, with no contract saying otherwise, then you do not have to give two weeks’ notice at all, you can just leave.
If they can fire me at any moment, I can quit at any moment. At will employment goes both ways.
Yes, you can. But it's not neccecarily smart to in many cases. It's very useful to have contacts for future employers, and not putting in your 2 weeks is essentially saying "fuck you, goodbye", and they will NOT have good things to say about that.
That being said, sometimes that extra contact isn't worth the 2 weeks of work in a shitty job.
@FinnishArsonist most jobs don't actually care about that stuff. They only call to verify you worked there. If that.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for current or past employers to bad-mouth. I don't particularly agree with that (so long as it'snot slander), but I've heard somewhere that's the case.
@@iCOOKIEmischief i suppose I exaggerated a bit, but if you are a disrespectful employee, that will be noted if you have them down as a contact
Only reason I gave mine is because they have a policy that if you don't give one and you have pto left over you're not getting it.
I give and reminded them that I knew about it. They began to drag their feet so I happily sent them a screenshot of their own policy, they tried to pull a "oh we don't instantly give that to you."
Funny because after I gave them that reminder I got 4 consecutive payments for each week of PTO I had.
I always told my coworkers about that.
We don't quit jobs, we quit bad managers. This guy in the example had a boss that was a perfect example of this.
Dude I’m 19 and I did summer jobs when I was younger. I did a ton of manual labor and worked at pulling out trees and giants bushes and etc. Anyways, I loved my first year working cause the manager was just SO GOOD and chill and nice so I worked a second year. Big mistake. My second year manager was a pain in the bootie and was a perfectionist and didn’t trust us workers to do ANYTHING. I quit that job within 3 weeks.
Yep. I cant say I love working ever because I don’t, but every place I’ve left is because of bad management and supervisors.
Funny enough, my last Manager was mumbling about how someone told him that at his last job like someone said that to him and got under his skin for it 😂 I don't blame them after working for him.
That's how my husband quit his job at Target and Chipotle in his younger days. The bad managers.

Literally all you need to prove is
1) you are no longer employed, doesn't if you quite or fired due wages are due each state varries but they have a prompt periodthey are allowed to send it, some states mandate that at terminationof employment ALL due wages are paid immediately (within 3ish days) some others allow for remainder to go on nxet pay period. (timesheets would prove that unless they are lying about that and faking numbers in which case you have a larger lawsuit on your hands)
2) That they didn't pay you your final wages (once again, the pay records crossed against timesheets would prove that unless once again they are faking that as well.)
If both of those points are true, and both can be verified by both company records and your timesheets and pay stubs they are breaking laws. You don't have to prove anything, they are legally required to follow the law, it's literally that simple for a reason.
My boss did this. I was quitting to go into placement year. I was talking about it for months. I gave one month notice when I only need to give 2 weeks, if that can is I was a zero hr contract. The week before my last day he put me the timetable and said I never accepted your notice and I don’t have it in writing. He knew I was on holiday that week and state you don’t work for them, you work for us. I just ignored all his call for the next month. It funny because the assistant manager got me a leave cake and did a speech. So clearly they got my notice.

Imagine an employer thinking they can't accept you quitting. Like what do they think they can do at that point, fire you?
I mean they can. I kinda like it more because I can get unemployment but leaving on your own terms is nice if you have something else lined up or you just have had enough.
Exactly. The employee is better off being let go than quitting unless they have something else lined up.
Voluntarily resigning forfeits any right to unemployment compensation whereas certain terminations will still cover the employee for unemployment benefits.
Termination with cause (eg performance issues) do not qualify the employee for unemployment though the employee can challenge that claim in labor court.
I’ve done it & was awarded unemployment as it was determined an unlawful termination (the employer lied about it being a performance issue & I was able to prove that) despite being in an at-will state.
It happened once to me, the HR lady was like, but you are too young to be taking this decision, and I was like if I was old enough to come and apply to this job, do all the interviews they asked me to do, then I am old enough to quit, turns out I find out that they would rather employees not put their resignation and fire them just so they can portray a "better" image of the company
That's exactly what they'll do to be petty and try to bully you into not quitting so you don't lose a paycheck they know you're probably depending on.
@@87Ahoff87 Incorrect in many states. All it takes is making the offical documentation state a cause for firing you and that automatically disqualifies you from unemployment eligibility, even if it's fraudulent or retaliation because it then becomes *YOUR BURDEN* to prove to the state that the claims made by your previous employer were lies, and that's IF the state will even hear your appeal. I was fired upon discovering my boss had been embezzling from her own company and defrauding the state of sales tax for years and had hoped it was a bookkeeping error or maybe something I didn't understand, but no, and my wishful thinking gave her time to formulate a whole built up lie that I could have easily disproved but the state never even gave me an opportunity to appeal the automatic denial.
This is why 2 weeks notice is the worst thing and you wait until you're starting your next job, or have already started if possible, because laws are written to benefit businesses, *NOT* workers.

He also pulled me aside to more or less intimidate me into knowing he's the reason I passed
But that has nothing to do with my original point

The audacity to refuse a two week notice while also expecting one! They do realize the notice isn’t a request, it’s a notification and they’re lucky to be getting one.

I used to work at a bar 2 years back as a highschool gig.

I went to my boss and he told me “oh no, the two week notice starts the week AFTER you put the notice” keep in mind I was already working at that full time job at the time as well. I called his bs, he got mad, begged me to work the weekend, I said maybe and didn’t return for the days they tried bullying me into.

In every state 2-weeks is a formality. Also, how can you work in a bar in high school. When almost every state requires sellers of alcohol to be over the age of 18-21. Maine is the only state that allows people at 17 to work in places that all a minor to sell booze, and most bars won't let anyone under 21 in. I think you aren't telling the truth.
If anybody EVER gives you strife when you put in your two weeks the proper response is: “The two weeks notice is a courtesy you just lost the privilege to. Goodbye.” And explain that to the next place you seek to work at. If it’s a place worth working they’ll understand.
I used to work in a bakery with a wildly toxic, "We'RE fAMiLy" vibe. I ended up dipping eventually, but had a friend that stuck around a little longer.

It's always so important to know your rights but it feels like while workers laws aren't outright hidden from people, no attempt is really made to make sure the general public is aware of their workers rights
True
💯
See that just seems crazy to me. Here in Australia, every industry and some specific jobs are covered by what's called an Award. Basically, second-level worker's rights specific to that industry.
I've never seen an employment contract that doesn't tell you which Award you're under. I don't know if they're legally required to but I find it hard to imagine that every company would voluntarily put that info in there
Big true. I live in a country where workers rights are extensive, seen as extremely important and unions are everywhere but barely anyone knows more than how much PTO they have let alone that their bosses can't walk all over them so none of that actually matters. If most people would do something against that so many factories would stand idle...
Because they aren't. There's more and more benefits to corporations by ensuring noone knows them

My brother had a lot of coworkers quit for various reasons, mostly because of issues with a new manager, and his work expected him to pick up slack for them and treated him worse than the new hires. They probably figured he wouldn’t quit because he had stayed, and didn’t want the new hires to quit when they were already short staffed. He put in his two weeks and then when he went to work to see they scheduled his last two weeks with horrible hours and mostly consisting of the only thing he hates doing, he told his manager he wouldn’t be coming in the next day, or any other day. Then he texted his coworker groupchat saying bye and then left the group before they could kick him out, as they always do when someone quits. Petty, but kind of legendary

Important lesson to do your homework when you quit.
I'm leaving my job in March most of the supervisors know that I'm changing careers to go to school.
One of the higher-ups at the company that I worked at heard when that I was leaving and told me that I would never find a place that could make as much money while I go to school.
Then I also explained how my pension, vacation time, lieu days and sick days legally had to be bought out upon my leave as a full-time worker. Which was equivalent to a half-years salary. And explained to him that because I was hired from the union and not by the company, I could be hired back as a fill-in for the summer when the majority of people are on vacation.
The look on his face when he realized he had no legal decision in this was priceless.
Even if you don't wanna quit for the money. Make sure you know the best way to stick it up to your terrible boss.
Never give notice unless you're on good terms and you're expecting to need them for a reference.
To be fair, if coworker gives you two weeks notice, they're just saying "I hate this job, but I tolerate you"
Just take it, don't try to fuck them over and just let them go because they're being generous to you.

I have said endless times how grateful I am that I was able to make it through college and high school before it hit. They were the only good things in my life. Y’all missed out on such amazing experiences. If you can, go to college. They say there is a college triangle. You can only pick two things. Grades, sleep, or social life. Somehow I balanced all three pretty well. Definitely go for the experience. It’s a waste of damn time unless you are definitely going to use your degrees. I thought I might, but things went to sh*t for me. It was definitely a blast for those four years though. I always tell everyone to go. Definitely don’t just work crappy jobs and live with your parents. If you end up in massive debt, so be it. Apply for grants and if possible scholarships and just go to a mediocre school so you can stay in a dorm.
You're making it too deep man. Every gen faces some kind of crisis as they age. This one is just lucky to age up in a workers economy. If we do get a recession and jobs become more scarce you'll see that individial gains are meaningless if you don't change the system.

Remember: 2 week's notice is an act of kindness towards your employer and coworkers. It is NOT required. If you're being mistreated, you do NOT have to wait two weeks to leave!! Giving notice is for employers who treat you like a human. Giving notice is nice if you want a good reference. You can't get in trouble legally for not giving notice.
The same happened to me. I had to essentially threaten about a lawsuit because they kept saying that they "lost the papers" and I needed to keep coming in because technically I hadn't done my two last weeks.
I did the same exact thing not too long ago up here in New York. I gave him a 2-week notice and they tried to withhold my pay after the two weeks saying that because I didn't work there anymore I wasn't entitled to the money that I earned while working there still during those two weeks. I brought up every single code that they were violating which happened to be actually seven due to the type of work I was doing and I gave them a quick calculation showing that if they didn't pay the roughly $1,900 that they owed me for the two weeks worth of work that I did. It would almost triple by the first week that they didn't pay me and there was already stacking interest due to them not paying the first week worth of pay. They ended up having to settle for $2,700. All because they want to be spiteful that I left because they were hiring new people on that had no prior experience in the field for more than what I was making as someone who had been there and was taking on managerial roles.
Bro what codes did u enact cause I AM STRUGGLING trying to find which ones to pull out to my manager 😭
The scariest worker is a worker who knows their rights💪🏾💪🏾
My worker's rights are too strong for you, disdainful employer!
It's not always about "smart" it's about who has more power.
i remember when i quit my job at the sawmill.
i said to my boss "i'm moving on to other things but there is no way to train my replacement in two weeks"
on that day i gave my two month notice.
quitting dose not just effect you, think of others and how they will get along after your gone.
I don’t care, if they suck I’ll quit on the spot
@@bezier108 100% if they have done you wrong.
i just can't help but think the employer saying "no you are young, angry and the realty of life, rent and food has not set in yet. i will not accept your resignation tell you claim down" is a stand up and honest deed.
there is also the difference between leaving and quitting.
I quit and my boss acted like it didn’t phase her. She was fired a month later because the company realized that she actually didn’t do her job and I wasn’t actually being a whiny young adult trying to cause “DRAMA”. 🙂
How the turn tables! Karma's a real byotch! Glad you were proven in the right! ✌🏾😎
The fact your boss didn't already know that, let alone that he couldn't say no means he wasn't qualified to be the boss
Not necessarily there are so many laws, rules, and regulations unless this was the owner of a small business they probably wouldn't know this. There is a reason larger companies have legal departments both to ensure the company is compliant with whatever legal requirements exist it can get complicated really quick
In the boss' defence, aint noone reading the law unless it pertains to them
No one knows all the regulations until they need to know them.
Not doctors. Not lawyers. No one.
Incredible that the boss’s response was to commit wage theft and that he was shocked to learn that wage theft is illegal.
French here and quitting my job - in France we have two main ways of leaving a job: quitting in a dry manner, like "hi here is my official request, you have 2 months to deal with that, at the end of these two months I'm OUT", and there's the "amicable" quitting that involves a sort of severance package + makes it easier to get social help to have the time to find another job. Except ofc the average employer will push for the former quitting to not have to pull money for the quitting employee.
My advice in that situation is to go for the second style of quitting, they have a month to get shit done + the employee can have the assistance of a union to make sure the employer is not fucking around and negotiate the amount of money to get more than the legal minimum on top of providing legal advice. Anyway, that's your sign to unionise.
This literally happened to my coworker. They’re not taking him seriously, they think he was hotheaded and not thinking straight. I had to sit him down and tell him that those assholes don’t get to dictate what he thinks, feels or does. If he wants to quit, he can give his two week notice and if they put him in the third week schedule, that’s on them. He can’t allow them to manipulate him.
My ex boss is like that (i still love her shes the only reason im at this job she just works under another person now whos starting to piss me off) but like to explain my insane devotion to my “boss” (the one I like) she helped me get diagnosed (autism and adhd) and I lost motivation like 4 times during that process so like id die in her place given the chance. She is legitimately the only reason im hesitant to leave because Im not sure ill find someone who I trust as much as I do her at another job but there have been several instances where Ive second guessed my perceptions and shes just been like “no no no continue”. The new boss I think is starting to realize that my “boss” created a monster because I asked to work 10 hours instead of 12 to which she did not answer so I asked again and she acted like I was insane for daring to ask so I was like alright and decided in my head to start searching for a new job she messaged me like a few days ago and said I could work 8 instead of 12 if I wanted. Which I appreciate it but I would’ve appreciated it a lot more if you hadnt tried to use my poor memory and focus against me less than a weak ago
Daily reminder that your boss doesn’t own you and you don’t deserve to be gaslit into staying ❤
I'm so glad, as an gen z, My managers accepted my wishes when I gave em my 2 weeks notice when I quit. I had to have my mom teach me how to quit properly, since she was more experienced in both an regular employee and an manager in her experience.
(Not blaming the chick in the video. If the place is too toxic to work in and can't handle the stress, then thats perfectly reasonable to quit and never look back. I hope she finds an better environment while making money)
"I'm not accepting your notice"
That's cool. The notice is a courtesy. I could just walk out and not come back if you'd rather
Holy shit. He didn't win a big W for himself he won it for everybody in that room! Cuz now they know about it!

Here's the thing, I wanna work and want my job...but I'm not gonna die for it anymore.
I can find new jobs.
I gave a month’s notice at my last job because I work this kids and I really cared about the job I was doing! I gave them ample notice and even made sure my last day coincided with the beginning of a week long school vacation to give them MORE time to fill my position. My supervisor screamed at me in his office when I informed him lol
There’s one a friend of mine did. “In lieu of payment”. Whoever quits immediately has to pay the other one month salary.
The company was owing him one month salary, so he wrote them he’s forgoing that to fulfill the condition to terminate his relationship with them immediately.
He quoted the section of the labor law.
They kept quiet when they realized they didn’t have a case
I feel like I'm the only one who has bosses who accepted, were still nice, and blessed me on my way when I gave my 2 week notices. One boss even gave me a goodbye party since it was around my graduation time, too.

@@matiassanchez1362 Hey. It's a mnemonic. A legitimate strategy for memorization.
Knowing your rights and how to protect and advocate for yourself is the ultimate power move.
A 2 week notice is a courtesy, not a request.
It is "Hey, here's time to hire my replacement."
It's also "in 2 weeks and a day, I won't be showing up anymore."
Fun facts your boss also can’t tell you you’re not allowed to leave early. You can still be fired but they have no authority to HOLD you there
Fun fact : no more torture oh no I definitely don’t wanna leave 🙄
That would be KIDNAPPING if they tried. Or forced labour, enslavement, take your pick.
Older generations don't appreciate there IS actual knowledge on the internet and the younger gen that knows how to harness it can run circles around them.
Gives the same energy as “you’re not allowed to break up with me” 😂
God bless these kids. I'm 25 working my way up the corporate ladder and I respect the shit out of the way they refuse to be bullied and manipulated by employers.

I' m amazed at my granddaughter she is dangerous smart. She knows laws and stuff that never occurred to me.
People in power are counting on people that know their rights. People with housing are avoiding law students in my country because they know their rights and when landlords are bullshitting! It's a legit problem, but that makes stories like that one so much more glorious!
Old people underestimate us and try to keep us quiet, then when they realize that we aren’t as stupid and arrogant as they try to make us seem they throw tantrums 🤷🏻♀️ generation by generation our fucks to give and will to kiss ass decreases and our will to stand up and put our feet down increases
@Tilden Cats Yep, that's *definitely* the reason people are becoming homeless. Not rising rent prices, mental instability, drug use, trauma, lack of support networks. It's those darn kids refusing to work regardless of their rights that's the problem.
@Tilden Cats Hey, so, uh, literally go choke on a cactus. I'm 26 and I fought and scratched and clawed and worked my ass off to make it out of homelessness and I can still only just barely afford my rent with an associates degree I wish I could afford the time to use as a transfer degree to get a mechanical engineering degree, and a year of Shift lead manager experience, several years of service industry experience, a year of retail experience, a year of warehouse experience, a year of construction experience, a year of security experience, several years of electronics assembly and repair education, and basic network security education/ knowledge with the tiniest bit of coding education and knowledge. I'm also neurologically and psychologically disabled. I have medical certification from specialists and letters of disability but have been repeatedly denied any disability assistance. 40 hrs/wk is very physically demanding for me but I do it because I have to. And I'm the exception, not the rule, for being able to make it even this far with how difficult everything has increasingly become. So, sincerely, I hope your level of difficulty to survive in life increases to the the same levels we experience and the level of capacity to overcome it you can maintain decreases to the same levels we have struggled to achieve due to many new intense and ongoing misfortunes you will soon encounter.
@Tilden Cats Yeah, I already finished crying about it for December last week. I'm good on that until towards the end of January. We are currently in the "remind those who don't, can't, and/ or won't understand it how unethical it is and why that makes them a shitty person" phase of the cycle.
@Tilden CatsI'm pretty sure we're gonna be in the "arrest, try in court, imprison and or execute congressmen, senators, judges, district attorneys, and other various executive, judiciary, and legislative sofficials about it" phase of our long term sociological cycles in the next few decades.
@Tilden Cats My predictions? Yeah, I'm not *terribly* confident it'll go *quite* that far. How nations handle coups/revolutions/rebuilding after natural eventually inevitable societal collapse has been changing slightly since the industrial and digital revolutions.
I’m gonna need to look into these codes before I get a job… 🧐
👍
My boss did the same thing. They no longer accept that you're leaving. They don't take you off the schedule until you haven't shown up for weeks.
I’m 29, and worked many jobs due to bad management and not wanting to run the store on minimum wage. I’ve managed many and even started businesses and sold them to make cash. Long story short, the two weeks and the three days technically aren’t even legal laws. You can leave that day. Best yet you technically don’t have to tell them. It’s common decency to do so, and give notice so they can find replacement but it’s absolutely not mandated of you depending on your state. My state they can fire you for no reason, yet you are told you need to put a two weeks in if leaving…. But I’ve never given any company unless I truly loved them the chance to know or hire. Why? Because they didn’t give the number of employees I’ve seen fired the chance to find a new job. They can’t decide what they want and don’t want but treat their own workers differently. 😂 I’ve ran my own business now for over 3yrs and haven’t worked for the “man” in over 5yrs.
Right to Work states equals Right to Quit.
@@jessiejohnson6424 YEP! Lots of people don’t understand nor agree with that. Businesses will always try to give you a bad reputation because of it. In the end, they only care about money not people so watch yourself and those you care about no one else will!
You are amazing.
@@cupcakelove007 You are too! If I have any advice for any other human being it would be to live your life! Don’t let the government and society decide for you. Only you know what you desire. Just do good while you accomplish it. Also remember every person you pass is just as human as you. We need compassion back in this world and less love of money.
An informed worker is a boss's worse nightmare!
100% if there's two things people in power fear it's confident people and educated people, a confident educated person... To them, absolutely the worst.
This is why legal, tax, savings, financial education is so important and yet so rare
your coworker is a American hero
They are simply built different.
Yep, I had a job with Sprouts and put in my two weeks notice. I was nice about and they paid my last check two weeks late. They kept holding onto it telling me to call again each day, I put in the wage theft claim and all of the sudden my check gets overnighted to my house. I got an extra thousand dollars for a 400 dollar check lol
FYI, 2 - Week notices can also backfire depending on whether more people are performing your duties.
In my department where I work, after a person submits their two week's notice, the employment is immediately terminated on friendly status. In some states, the company has to pay out those two weeks, but not in Texas.
Of course, there is a valid reason for this. Our company has a lot of information they don't want going to competitors. As such, once they know a person has submitted their two weeks, they get them out of the building to prevent any possible theft or destruction of company data.
In most states he wouldn't even have to sue. Call the wage and labor office, and not only do you get yours, everyone else that had these issues gets their money too.
Knowing the laws that can protect or harm you is just smart. I have used laws to get a heavy handed landlord to accept the fact that we were leaving without notice and we received our full deposit back as well.
They entered our home without notice or permission several times for non emergency repairs. They knew they were screwed and settled on our demands in writing without arguing.
I was 16 in 97 and I been str8 walking outta jobs since DAY ONE💯
As soon as he said "then i wont pay you" i would walk out and see the magic happen
Write that down write that down!!! ✍️
Let Granny pipe in. The two week notice thing does not apply to you. You are what is called an "at will" employee. You have no contract. Meaning, you can quit at any moment without repercussion. This is why they can fire you on the spot. However, if you are maybe an office worker, that signs a contract with that company, you are bound in the contract to give notice when you are going to quit. This way they have time to fill an actual position. They also have to give you notice of being fired, in most cases. Unless you pose danger to other employees. Then, they can just tell you to leave. So, if you work fast food, Walmart, or a mall job, two week notices don't apply to you.
In any office position. two weeks notice is what you give if you don't want a bad reference or a ding on your history. If you list this employer in your work history, they can say you did not give 2 wks. Not a good look
@@kerplunkety I believe that's what I kinda said. Office jobs can be a bit different. However, they were talking about fast food jobs and the like. Of course if you quit on the spot, you probably don't want to use them as a reference.
This may be country dependent (maybe state?) but I've NEVER been with or heard of a company in the US that has to give employees notice that they are being fired, and I've been working in a corporate office setting for many years. Quite the opposite in fact, if you are being fired, they can have your access shut off while you are in a meeting with your boss & HR telling you that you are being let go, and you just walk out (sometimes with a security escort). One the other hand, I've never signed an employment contract that requires me to give two weeks notice, it's just what you do so you don't burn that bridge and they give you a good reference.
Now I'm not talking about layoffs which usually happen differently, but unless it's a massive layoff situation, they still aren't required to give you notice then either.
@@margiecook6879 yeah but is anybody really using a fast food job as a reference, i'm genuinely curious.
@@iamfbjreturned Not a clue. Lol Maybe for another fast food job? But, if you're fast food, just don't use that one. Lol pretty sure it's not their first job. If it is, just pretend you haven't had a job yet, and do better. They don't fire folks for nothing. Fudge the date gap, and move on.
This is nice to see. It's not one of those 'life hacks' where he was trying to get free money. He did the respectful thing and when that respect wasn't returned he stood his ground and showed he was serious. I wouldn't go as far as to say today's generations of workers are smarter though, each generation has to learn from the mistakes of the last. We just have more to work with.
i love how your nightmare freddy design's tummy stitches remind me of like a c-section scar, and i think most agree that the freddles are his kids. i dunno, i just think it's such a cute detail
Remember, notice is just courtesy, and its only value to you as a worker is not pissing someone off, so you can use them as a reference. That's it.
I had a boss that wouldn’t accept my two weeks. Instead he helped me develop my career into a different field within the company; even gave me a reference to a good college, which the company helped subsidize. This was almost 10 years ago, but it help tremendously.
Good job you got roped into a job that THEY decided for you when you wanted to quit and you let them push you around until you were the perfect worker for them. Good fucking job being a moldable fool dude. 👍
DUDE do you hear yourself? All you really did was let them turn you into a moldable moronic fool, by letting them reject your notice and letting them make you into the perfect worker for them. Use your head more dude you got played.

“I will wait till you owe me 1000$ then I will take you to court over it.”
A boss of mine did say I was overreacting once, I stayed the first week, halfway through the second week he was back on their bs and I just didn't show up to work. A day later I saw an email begging me to still showup. He wanted to meet later then went loosey goosey with my last check. That place sucked and I found out a couple years later there was a class action against the company for unpaid overtime and some other stuff. Amazing.
Yes my sister got money just like this !!
And it was just regular quitting too.
