Do we see Patrick’s front side or back side?

ANGRY OLD WHITE MAN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND!
TheGreatHale
This sort of corporate behavior has been going on since time began.
gavr1loo
When you realize that you dont need to die for the company, then youll be fine. Fuck company, life is so much more than that.
dargrin
The fact of the matter is the business doesn’t care. Truly does not care
ArkoneAxon
One employer actually tried to sue an employee to keep them from quitting. The judge's response, "...You DO know that slavery is illegal?"
criticallyacclaimedfuckwad
What case is this? I fully wanna read that transcript!
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
M first four jobs out of high school, I doubled my hourly rate every year by changing jobs. Current employer would never match the offer.
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
Mechanic. Yes, I was gaining experience though work. But they were not willing to reward it. Goodbye, on to the next employer.
ajhorselady84
Hardest working employee at my job, constantly passed over for promotions for years, put in his two weeks. Boss was completely blindsided.
PooPculture
Good help is hard to find IF you pay shitty wages.
DoNotGiveAFuck
I'm in the first one and very very temped by the second one
socraticmeathead
"It's so hard to find good employees." Nah, you're a shit manager.
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
"It's so hard to find someone who will put up with the shit we want them to do at the wage we feel like paying"
Mumalot
one of my favorite lowerTier-managers actually got "reassigned to another store" cause she caught the "Vice" Manager jacking off........
Mumalot
it was either him or her; and they kept the asshole... :( my morale has never been this "bare minimum" before.
Shayrad
Haha, at least yours cares enough to be mad. Mine actually hires 6 people every 2 weeks hoping 1 will stay about 6 months... Most don't.
FTUG
Was working for dollar general warehouse when covid hit, so many people were leaving they had to pay time and a half to keep anybody around
MirtoLegrand
My boss, right there.
itsahorse
Congratulations on quitting
ckent65
I put my two weeks notice in a week ago. Last day today. Terrible job/major retail company. Been there 7 and a half years. I’m out peace
Imsurprisedihaventchangedmyusernameyet
Don't lie, most of you will keep working and complain rather than quit to find something better.
lookingforapurpose
You don’t look for a job before quitting? That’s silly. A backup plan is smart.
Imsurprisedihaventchangedmyusernameyet
Sure it is, but I've never had a problem finding paying work. My backup plan is a diverse skill set that can be applied to multiple industry
adiving
That's because that would be stupid. I know, I ruined my life that way. No you find something new and THEN quit the old one.
Imsurprisedihaventchangedmyusernameyet
I couldn't properly motivate myself while I had a meager safety net. Once the pressure was on I really got to work. Happier and wealthier.
40pctdolomite
Typical drone logic, stop shitposting and get back to work.
ActuallyACateArmyOfficialDoNotWhistleAboutIt
I sincerely hope you'll never end up in a position of management.
40pctdolomite
Already here! I have 8 shitheads reporting to me.
ActuallyACateArmyOfficialDoNotWhistleAboutIt
In that case, I pity them. But, I suppose the world is filled with delusional bosses who think they're doing great.
40pctdolomite
Thats capitalism!
ConformistWithACause
My company blames it on black people who are pissed they have to work for their food stamps though used a different word...
TheSecondPiewackit
Sounds like they need to be reported.
ConformistWithACause
It's my word against the word of dozens of hicks. We've had 2 coworkers die from covid and management still calls it a liberal hoax
TheSecondPiewackit
Hmm... electrical fire?
ConformistWithACause
We're contractors. But throwing out supplies and playing my switch 3-4 hours a day is a start while I wait for them to fuck up bad
ConformistWithACause
Trust me, im waiting for the moment this fucking company collapses and if I have a shred of evidence of what they are, they'd go down
Vcinasia
I can guarantee you "the company" doesn't give a shit; everyone's replaceable-The salty one is your shitty manager
HootSloot
True but turnover is expensive, losing 1 employee isn't a problem but a few dozen or hundred depending on size sure is.
cheeseguy3412
I currently have my management in a panic trying to get a raise for me. I was out due to an injury in 2018, ~5-10 depts got shut down /1
cheeseguy3412
It took me roughly 9 months to unfuck things once I got back. I can't begin to guess how much money they burned. I spent 8 years /2
cheeseguy3412
Collecting tasks no one wanted, or would quit rather than do. No one else is willing to try. Its really weird being in this situation. /3
cheeseguy3412
If I get hit by a bus, well... no one will let me train them, because then they might HAVE to do things at some point. /4
G0MeatCube
Sounds like you need to let that shit crumble
RightBauer
By being the only person that knows it or can do it, even if it sucks, you become indispensable. I've done that in my job too.
WizardHarryDresden
Company's mostly don't care, they pay you as little as possible and work you to the bone and act like it's a favor while they get ritch
Jiminatori
If you don't like the system and are looking for a real solution. I advice you to read in on socialism communism. And if you like it. Join
Jiminatori
A local or international party
Ultratoxic
I don't think Mab pays at all, really. Healthcare is a bit dodgy too.
WizardHarryDresden
Yea but I get Ice powers as a check, worth it to able to call myself subzero
Ultratoxic
If you can't manage "immortal" on your own, "not allowed to die" makes a good second option lol
WhistlePig
I'm so tired of living like this... But everyone has to so I guess it's just normal
JimStarluck
Funny thing is, if everyone who is tired of living like this all got together and said we should stop it, we probably could.
buccaneer9110
Easy there Karl Marx
JimStarluck
But then that starts to resemble a word that starts with "R" and rhymes with "evolution."
cheesedogs
Imo unions are sposed to prevent riots and strikes by offering a less destructive means of conflict resolution.
JimStarluck
Not quite. An individual worker has a weak bargaining position when trying to negotiate better pay or conditions with their employer.
MrKnowItAll1903
Employee: Gives two week notice. Company: Let's you go the same day.
fusenode
Funny I left my job and they wanted a 2 month notice. I said would you do the same ? They said well no I go your lucky u got 3 week notice
ProppaGanda
*laughs in European*
BannedB4
company: today notice
RiotousSinner
It sucks, but I kinda understand that. If they give you 2 weeks notice, you might spend that time messing up orders or what not.
mikeindiakiloecho
Can confirm.
nero4ty2
employees on the way out can do a lot of harm, i've seen it first hand, better to cut your losses and just pay them and let them go
ObliqueRay
Lets*
Phislammajama
Ah the vacation
CPTBRUMBL3Z
Gave mine on a wknd, they put me on sched Monday after the 2 weeks, ate there months later and old manager brought it up. I'm just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thatsbadmmkay
Been there. Luckily my next job let me start early and my people in the new city let me couch surf early.
Unbearxd
Gave 2 week notice, worked both, final check still paying for health insurance, learned they cancelled it the day of notice after Dr visit.
Kildare26
Where I live, the company can choose to letvyou go immediately but they still have to pay you for that time
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Same. This is pretty normal everywhere but the US it seems.
DoomSquirter
I've quit, gave 2 weeks notice, they let me go that day and pay for the 2 weeks cause they can't let the keymaster be disgruntled.
1eudaemonia
this happened to me in last job. gave 2 weeks, asked to leave after 1. You are never valued as much as you think you are.
Atomic2
Depends on what you're doing, but some companies don't want you to stay on knowing you're leaving since you have access to proprietary >>
Atomic2
information. Or maybe you will try to convince their clients to follow you to a competitor or something. //
1eudaemonia
I knew the reason, they wanted to transition new person into my role earlier. Just speaking for my experience. I dont work retail
Eldude3513
As long as you’re paid for those two weeks, no problem there.
FairweatherHobbyist
My last employer promoted me, I quit two days later no notice. They sent out company wide emails for both. It was a fun moment.
Ryanator50
"You can't quit if i fire you!"
WalkinTalkinStephenHawkin
Or they just stop scheduling you.
MrMineHeads
Thank you for giving me EI.
iamlegendinjapan
My company does that. But pays the two weeks. Some people have access to very sensitive data and people get lazy after giving notice.
Frankiejoneston
My job let me go a few days before the end of my 2 weeks because I was EXTREMELY sick but they thought I was faking it.
Frankiejoneston
I had a scheduled bonus coming to me but they used me "faking" sickness as an excuse to not give it to me. Fuck those guys.
lookingforapurpose
Most places I gave notice too kept me on the schedule and tried to say I abandoned my job. Good thing I kept emails saved to prove otherwise
Cutlass0516
Or *gives 2 weeks notice* --- company: "thats not enough time!"
St0r4bl3L1ght
In the UK notice period is specified in your contract. If it's not specified you don't have to give one. Two weeks is usually standard.
TTii
Much longer notice period in France, 1 to 3 month
MmmmmPapayas
Or the boss who didn't give me a new yearly contract until the very end - to force me to take shitty one - and then got mad when I said No.
LooseyGooseyBrett
To bad, it's not their choice
mpchandler
Yeah, but there should be pay in lieu of notice, right? That's how it is here at least...
monkofblame365
Depending on the state you're in the company can fire you same day for no reason. American capitalism at it's finest
Atomic2
Yep but silver lining, you can file for unemployment during that time since they technically let you go. If you had quit, you couldn't.
CoBr2
Depends on what state your in and what barriers they put up to prevent you from accessing unemployment. See Florida for example.
canadianreserve
Fortunately america is a minority. At least among developed countries. Most countries don't deal with this kind of crap.
whatbuttondoipush
My old work tried to offer me a $3 raise to stay. Then tried to fire me same day when i refused. My manager bagged to keep me on because we
whatbuttondoipush
Were so busy (thanks to my hard work in the first place)
whatbuttondoipush
I personally increased our customer base 0.5%-5% per month for 5 years. I was top in 3 states at getting new customers. They said if you...
whatbuttondoipush
Want more money, then sell more product. I increased my sales from $300,000 to over $1,000,000 and got a $0.50 raise. The sales were going
whatbuttondoipush
To other stores, even though I took the orders. not as easy as it sounds we're talking about quarter Mil $ quotes and $50k+ orders.
MostlyDinosaurs
There was a movie theatre in my town that hadnt paid rent in months. Closed down, left a note on the door for employees showing up to work
Matty3D
When Future Shop closed up here (Canada) this is how some employees were greeted. A note on the door.
ChefLes
In Japan about 10 years ago a whole company(50+ locations) did the same to their teachers.
KillerToFuXx
Friend was one of the managers for a McDonalds. They didn’t even tell them. Showed up to the doors rekeyed and a note on the door.
myotheralt
My cousin and his fiancee were both working at a US Cellular store. The owners sold/closed while cousin was on honeymoon.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
Molded Fiber Glass in Ashtabula, Ohio, had their yearly shutdown in the summer, and moved the plant to Mexico while employees were off.
cardinal29
What a POS move. I'm never going to buy their fiberglass!
Ikwilstroopwaffels
They make parts for GM, Freightliner, Ranger Boats, etc.,
StarkRG
A while back I worked at a huge internet company and one day the security system failed and refused people access to the buildings, so many
StarkRG
people thought they'd been fired.
StarkRG
I think it was a worldwide failure, too, so it wasn't just a handful of people. They had to post security at the entrances to let people in.
Shoki6458
This happened to a store where I am, except the employees did it to ownership. The mistreatment to the employees was pretty bad.
Ryanator50
like everyone agreed to quit on the same day? that's ballsey as fuck.
Shoki6458
Everyone... Frontline staff, supervisors, and 1 of the managers. On the door was a letter explaining how the owner treated staff and /1
Shoki6458
Was ripping off customers. I think there was only 1 manager and the owner left and they kept it going for a couple weeks before they closed.
ArkoneAxon
That's called a "walkout." Like a strike, except you don't intend to go back to work.
BangsMcKoy
Entire kitchen staff did this atta restaurant I worked in HS. At dinner rush. Felt bad for customers. But boss was shaving hrs off paychecks
ThisIsSoMuchFunItsFreaky
Why does nobody care for anybody anymore? This kind of stuff makes me sick.
Commentsaboutyourusername
Yeah it's not fun or freaky anymore
MostlyDinosaurs
I wouldn't say everyone. Its definitely a boomer thing
Hatixon
No, it's a universal thing. Society became me and mine instead of what got humans to this point which was us and ours, but it's not recent.
MostlyDinosaurs
Dick heads will always be out there, sure. But the boomers are so bad ab it that the greatest generation calls them the "me generation"
CrepeModel
Being dipped in cold acid seems an appropriate response.
Ja5per
Is cold acid worse than hot acid?
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
Less dangerous for a short exposure, more torturing for a longer exposure.
MaddMatter
Yes. Slows down the chemical reaction.
zorkandbork
Noted...
OverthoughtUnderedited
Well, good morning to you, Satan.
godcixelsyd
Had that happen at a Whataburger in my area. Employees showed up to a boarded up building.
SirWadeWilson
BURN IT DOWN! if you can recoup from being unemployed they can recoup the loss on the building.
ZachariasWolfe
Give them insurance money for a building they're not planning on using anymore so they can cash out and leave?
SirWadeWilson
Because insurance companies are well known for generously paying a good value for what they insured /s
godcixelsyd
Perhaps, but then you're applying to new jobs with arson charges on your record. Probably makes it even harder.
SirWadeWilson
Man, the secret is obviously not getting cought
myotheralt
You would only have those charges if you get caught...
MacAwesome
Thats illegal in my country. 1 months notice at least.
fourfingersdeep
Someone i knew gave his notice they sent him home that day, his old company bought the new out one out 14 months later. P45 the same day
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
In Canada they can let you go whenever, but if they give no notice they have to pay you instead. It depends on a bunch of factors /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
including your years of service, age, industry, etc. My husband got laid off after 20 years and his package was worth more than a year's /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
salary. The minimum is 2 weeks per year of service by law, but case law has expanded on that so it's actually generally more than that. /3
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Unless you're fired for cause, then you get nothing. But that has to be supported by all the paperwork. /4
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
Most of the US is referred to as "at will" employment. You can quit or get fired in a moment notice for almost any reason.
randomdudefromtheinternet
The US of A seems pretty insane
enferno8
Or absolutely no reason. Which is what many companies do to avoid any potential lawsuit.
Beezlebubble
But if they fire you, unemployment is valid which many people dont realize. The company foots the bill there
deadman320
Unless they make up some bogus petty claims in order to avoid such, been stuck in that position after company takeover
jabike2424
The list of reasons went one can’t be fired is fairly short.
StarkRG
And all they have to do is not tell you why you're being fired and they get away with it.
CthuluChan
Based on sex, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or as a form of retaliation. That's pretty much the list.
GenesisNynja
Yeah but you can kinda fudge it. The employer will often create reasons to fire you if they can’t fire you legitimately
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
fucking unionize
imoutofnames
But that's communism. Or socialism. Or whatever. /s
pashka555
Why are you being downvoted? It's a good advice regardless.
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
cause people think that paying 3% in dues is stupid even if tour making 30% more money
Donku83
I've heard employers say that's a risk because you now have someone hanging around for a month that doesn't give a shit
Nikolai5
Yeah but its worth it for the society as a whole because the benefits outweigh the risks. In America though only the rich people matter.
PunIshErnest
There are circumstances where it applies, but most likely, if someone is leaving, there was no shot being given for some time already.
ASettlementNeedsUpvotes
If you want that company’s recommendation to future endeavors you still try that final 2 weeks.
monkofblame365
Because the average min wage employee gives so much of a shit. Most have never been given any kind of reason to care about "the company"
Donku83
Truth, but I'm thinking more about fields like healthcare where a spiteful employee on their way out can cause serious harm
CannaFreak
You don’t have to have that person around, but you have to pay them for that period. Most companies let you stay at home.
minant
(Is traditionally referred to as "Gardening leave".)
Donku83
That's a good alternative
Wor3q
Also, at least where I live, you're obligated to take all the remaining paid leave before the end of employment, so it solves itself.
leftiness
