Also a lesson to be learn get stuff down in writing when leaving or even being told of being laid off in advance. I remember about 13-14 years, this was when I was still a freshman in college. I gave my two weeks notice. Showed up and even scheduled an exit interview. Spoke to my manager and all and he was ok. X date was to be my last and interview afterwards since we had conflict of time. Bastard manager kept rescheduling me for exit interview.
Low and behold I get a letter saying I've been terminated for not showing up to work. Had to waste time with HR because I didn't want to be essentially "fired." good thing I kept emails of him being ok with the dates and rescheduling. the manager is a dickhead. when we refereed to policy regarding what was acceptable uniform, he'd work is hardest to get it change to his liking.
This is not true. Many larger corporations that actually provide severance packages, or just most good jobs - will let you know of being laid off the day of. Which they do for many reasons, like to prevent the employees from using all their vacation time in the final 2 weeks leading up to the day of. Or just not doing any work while you're there since you would have already been given the severance package
Two weeks notice means you still work those two weeks and are paid for it. Not that you just don't show up. Now you're terminated with cause which means no unemployment for you.
Had to bump this thread.
So you didn't show up to work for 2 days and they want to fire you? :confused;
Kind of fucked up that people say you owned yourself...firing someone for missing two days is the fucked up thing IMO.
Either way, its sad people take comfort is someone's misfortune...GG ATOT
again?...for missing two days of work?
I'd think you'd need to miss more than two days, especially in a situation like this.
It sounds like you work for douchebags.

It's called a life lesson. Many places will fire you if you don't show up for a single day even professionals. That's just a big no-no. You NEVER just not show up to work, at least call.
What, are you 12?
12? um no....but anyways...
Why call? If I'm not there, I'm not there...not all places have a call in policy
Didn't you ask this when they told you? Like "So do I still come in for 2 weeks?" that would of made much more sense then just assuming.
Actually, where I work (Fortune 100 corp) they do it day-of because you have access to lots of sensative information and can do a lot of damage to the business if you decide to retaliate while on the premesis.
