omg... driving me insane...

[EngenZerO]

<rant>I recently put in my two weeks notice at my current employer. I gave them ample notice and now the owner of the company is riding my coat tails. She has never in my entire year here treated me the way she has now. She is constantly pulling me into her office and saying I need to focus on my assignments (which I have all completed) and to quit being a distraction to the co-workers here. She also, yelled at me for flirting with the receptionist here at work. She said "You can do that after hours." What really pisses me off is that she is only doing it to me. Everyone else here sees that except for her. I literally can not leave my desk with out getting in trouble. Too top that off, I got in trouble for just sitting at my desk yesterday. OMG... granted I am the only systems engineer here, the other one left for a internship @ Microsoft, but do not treat me like I need to be watched 24/7.

Today, she hires a new guy and is all friendly to me in front of him and then slams me when he walks away. She said make sure you teach him everything you know before Friday.

Honestly, if I did not need this weeks check to pay for furniture for my move to D.C. I would seriously just walk out but she is really riding my last nerve? I do not know if I can hold out till Friday.

do you have vacation time left?

use it.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

well guess you cant walk out then, you needing the money and all.

 

[DainBramaged]

Leave Thursday at noon.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

quit doing stuff at work and see if she fires you

try not to leave a bad impression when you leave jobs.
your next employer might do a background check and request information from your ex-employer.

 

[slick230]

sounds like she needs to fall down some stairs.

 

[meltdown75]

give her attitude right back, what's she going to do - fire you?

Thats the issue... even though I work here full time. I have no benefits. So no vacation time.

I'm on the same boat, but I have to wait until next Wednesday (last day). I've been getting slammed with report requests these last 2 weeks (I gave them a month notice). Now I'm regretting giving them so much time. Good luck hanging in there for a few more days.

I am seriously trying to be nice, but there is no reason why she needs to treat me like this. I am really not worried about that. I have already accepted a position with the government and am slated to start Jun 13.

Show her the goods. But make sure to let her know that your goods are for paying customers only.
*wink*

 

[sourceninja]

look at it this way, she can't fire you. When you give your 2 weeks notice by law (at least here in IN, and I assue most other states) you are immue. So give her attitude right back. Remind her your two weeks was a curtosey to her. And if she doesn't apreciate what YOU are doing for the company then you wont do anything. And dont worry about positve references. Most companys never really give references anyways, they just confirm you worked there. And as for personal reference, i wouldn't use a lady who treated me like that as a reference.

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i think past employers can only legally give specifics like compensation and dates of employment.

Hey bud I live in DC and I am going to be looking for a roomate soon. Do you have a place to live and are you living in DC?

I believe they can also ask if they would rehire the person.
But as for specifics, I don't think they can legally give bad instances.
Alot of employers would abuse that.

yeah. comp and dates are what my hr dept asked for but I still had to ask my previous supervisor to correspond with them.

I actually went out over the weekend and found a place. Its in north alexandria right on the border of arlington. It's a 3.5 miles from my work which is on King Street. I havn't signed my lease yet (do that this Saturday). Where are you located?

 

[boredhokie]

Why don't you just go in her office, close the door, and tell her to stop treating you like crap? If she really doesn't realize she's being a bitch to you then maybe she'll give you a break. Either way show some balls, be an alpha male!

Walk. Don't show up tomorrow. Leave a message at work saying her treatment of you has been unacceptable and you will not be finishing up the two weeks.

The problem with that is the money...in the future, don't be so short on funds that people can walk on you like this and you have no recourse. Second problem is you'll never get a recommendation from this place.

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i think past employers can only legally give specifics like compensation and dates of employment.

So, it doesn't mean they can't say things like "Yes, he worked here until June/05, and we were so damn happy to see him leave."

Really though, if somebody was treating me like that I'd not stand for it for a minute.

Bend her over the desk and give her the shocker.

Well... money really isn't an issue. I have alot saved up, its just I don't want to touch that money. I see this paycheck as extra stuff for my new appartment. So, I can easily get by with out this paycheck. I never ever have been treated here like the way I have these past two weeks. Plus, I have friends here that I would not want to hurt just cause of her. I dunno...
