I DID NOT SURVIVE-Can you send some survival vibes my way?-UPDATED
I have 19 days left at the company h*ll.
On Friday, I was out and they were texting me to call them and I was fed up-so I text them back, "Not to be rude, but does anyone there know how to use the system?". I was supposed to call them to help them out on stuff they were already CC'd on durning the week (but they where to lazy to ever respond anyway), but I was convinced by family and friends not to.
Now I have to deal with the wrath of this place when I get in. I was so fed up-I have another job which I start on 09/22-I am going back to an old emplyer. I told them when I quit that I would stay till someone was trained, and in turn, they gave me time to find a job. I did it more so they could give the employment broker notice without having to pay him.
I don't know how I am going to survive there, I was just so fed up, I was like screw all of you, I really stopped caring about this place when they refered to me and the other girl as the c-word. Or when I was told women are genetic defects. I just can'[t take it anymore.
Put it this way-I send the CEO an email quitting, and it took him two days to read it and realied I quit... Need I say more?
Please think of me today as I try to survie just another day in this messed up company.
Thanks,
Laurie
August 26:
So after telling my husband how much they where paying the girl with no experience, we got in to a brawl. He was beyond furious because I was helping them out after they have continuously screwed me left and right with money and with the whole hostile atmosphere. After all, no one likes to be told they are a genetic defect as a women, that you have "Jew in your blood that is why you are good at your job" while "jewing" down the price... that you are a C You Next Tuesday, or made fin of as if you are mentally challenged when askign a question...
So I go in there and I tell him that he has two choices-I leave thsi Friday or Next Friday... your choice. He says you told me the 19th. I said I told you I was leavign on teh 6th, it is teh 26th-you knew from the 7th that you where having the girl in our office take over my position and you should have started then. Tehn I said that I was highly insulted that she is making what I am with NO experience in this industry.
HE STARTS TO CURSE ME OUT! I said NO-YOU HOLD IT RIGHT THERE...
I said if anyone has been F'd over, it has been me! From screwign me with the salary-ie tellign me $5-10000 more, okaying 5 and getting a contract for $5000 less! Tehn promising me more in three months, then telling me sorry-we can not afford it. Then firing peopel and I absorbed all of their tasks plus my regular position... THen having me make teh compnay good money and then save them ALOT of money only to be told AGAIN that you for all of your hard work-but we can not afford to give you ANYTHING else.
SO he continues to curse at me, throws me out of the office. I start to train teh girl in the office, he storms out screaming that tehy have a problem-she said she is leavign Friday. DId not mention that I said I would stay till next Friday... Three jerks go behind closed doors-I train the girl-they come out, biggest jerk calls her to do something else... not a good time to be havign her do anything but trainigng. My phone rings-I take teh call as it was something regardign business and I go in the hall to talk to him.
I come back in a few minutes later-the biggest jerk calls me in to the CFO's office and tells me you are goign home now.
I start laughing. I am like you are firing me? I said that is great! I will collect unemployment, lol... I am seriously smilign and laughing. (ANd considering what a great lawsuit I have enough ammo for)...
He says no, you are resiging. I read it-it says without notice. I was like -nope, I gave you notice-he said well you said teh 19th of September, and you are leaving now. I said sorry-I have teh email stating I gave you notice on the 6th, it is the 26th-look, I have an emauil to prove it! He is like fine whatever-I will mark taht it is with notice...
Then he tells the CFO to watch me collect me things-she has 5 minutes-and then he has to escort me out. I am cracking up at this point. Liek seriously, I coulsn;t stop giggling. Maybe nerves, maybe anger-but I really found it funny! So I go-GOOD IDEA! I wouldn't want to steal any trade secrets! lol... still laughing. He is liek I have to go to a meeting, I am goign to be late. He says to teh other two girls-c-ya later... Leaves teh office.
I turn around to the CFO, makes sure he fills my paperwork out noting that I am resigning with notice...
As I am about to leave, I turn to the CFO (as the slimeball CEO is still sitting in his office and has not come out in two hours...) and I say, by the way (insert name), just make sure Mike knows this... DON'T EVEN THiNK ABOUT F'ING WITH MY PAYCHECK. I have every single email-every single email saved on my flash drive-before you cut me email off today. Every email in and out. I have every derogatory comment directed towards me, every insult, every curse. I have the date, time, comment and what we where doing at that time documented. I also spoke to a lawyer. Don't F with my paycheck...
I left right after that.
So that is the end of my story...

Re: Can you send some survival vibes my way?
Why are you still there? After all they have done to you! You should just pack your **** and leave! Why give them the courtesy of a nice long notice!?

Re: Can you send some survival vibes my way?
I can't believe your boss didn't read your email thoroughly. Lucky you are getting out of there sounds like they don't have all their brains there. Why are you staying so long and not a 2 week notice? I would just quit and take a week or so to get your sanity back so your fresh for the new (well old) job. Good luck!

Re: Can you send some survival vibes my way?
He didn't read the email at all!
SO my replacement will be the 24 year old girl in my office with no experience getting paid $7500 less than I am. TALK ABOUT FEELING SMACKED? How can you pay a person $60000 with a ton of experience and then $52250 with NO EXPERIENCE! They just need someone asap and she puts up with their crap. That is the one they call like a dog... call her moron and dumb dumb and asks if she has periof period or something when she actually fights back. But at 24, making that kind of money-living at home, no bills really... She said she can not leave. SHe is comfortable living off that.
My last day will be next Friday. I am planning on taking advantage of having a 4 day weekend this week and then working the 4 days next week.
My old boss said whenever I need to come back-just call him and show up the next day.
Pray for my survival when I tell these dirtbags I am leaving sooner than planned.

I wouldn't worry about what they think when you are leaving earlier. It is their loss and they will realize it. If anything I would just walk out on them and say see ya. They sound horrible. No respect. Good luck on your new venture.

This isn't the end to your story...this is the beginning...you are off to bigger & so much better things.
Go claim unemployment. The work atmospher alone will qualify you for it.

OMG that was just not nice. I would have really flipped out. I am so glad that you are out of there and now they have to deal with the girl who knows nothing. Who is training her now? As long as you gave adequate notice you can leave anytime. You gave on the 6th so it is pasted the 2 week mark so I don't know what his problem was.

Re: I DID NOT SURVIVE-Can you send some survival vibes my way?-UPDATED
I told him I would stay until the 19th. Then when the 24 year old told me her new salary for my position, I changed it to the 5th and no later. He said leave this Friday... cursing and screaming at me, smoke coming out of his ears. I start with my old employer on the 2nd. I am in good hands, though I am still a little shook up over all this.
I called a lawyer today to cover all bases. They have no choice but to pay me til the 26th. Howver, I should have stayed until Friday to piss them off. I mean, I was quitting, right? Otherwise, if they where firing me, I could have claimed teh unemployment. But they woudl have made my life even more miserable if at all possible...
The only people they were hurting was themselves, lol... seriously, I was out last Thursday and Friday and my desk was A MESS. They did nothing while I was gone. I DON'T CARE...
That girl sold herself out. She was criticized and insulted by this idiot daliy... imagine how much worse it will be now that she has this position and knows N O T H I N G about the business. She even told me that if I did do legal action, she could not back be up because she knows that no other compnay in the world will pay her that salary a year and she has to stay.
I said THANKS! However if asked, I assume she can not lie and is not stupid enough to lie. But these dirtbags would probably give her $80000 to shut her up.
The past three months have been all a bad dream to me.
