I accepted an IT position in a company in DC I moved from Salem VA to DC for this job. (infact my wife is still in Salem) My first day was 6/28/06. I got this job because at the time my parents were working there so I did side computer work for the company fixing the previous IT guys mistakes. When that IT guy left the president of the company called me up and asked me to come up. Told me I would get Double what I was making and a 15% bonus every year, plus a 10% raise every year.
Well my dad was the Vice President (mom was an accountant) he left because all the politics in the office. (President of company pokin fun with secretary, selling drugs on company grounds, etc..) Since he left the President made things extremely hard on my mother and I to even work in that office. We had found that he was advertising our jobs on careerbuilder.com, was taking resumes for my position, and even had the nerve to tell our web designer that they were going to be firing me and wanted to know if he wanted my position. (he of course said no)
About a month later, he fired my mother (his excuse was that she talked negatively about the company) the moment she was in the office packing her stuff. He pulls me into the office with the HR person and said that they want to keep me here but didn't want to make it uncomfortable for me to work there, they offered me 4 weeks pay if I left that day. I said no (I was expecting the 15% bonus in less than a month)
Things have lightened up because I am working on a program that they need (took the previous IT guy over a year to build it) I learned PHP and did a better product in 6 weeks.
2 months later...
I finally get that big bonus I was waiting soo long for, the bonus was only 4.5% (after taxes 2.8%) My wife and I are going through the hardest times of our marriage because of this job (I don't think we'll be married in a month at this rate) And now that the President has his program done that he needs he's been acting like an A$$ again.
I have always given atleast 2 weeks notice at any job I have ever left. I just don't feel I can stay here 2 weeks. How bad is it not to turn in the notice? I can get letters of recommendation from other managers in the office would that help?
And this program that they needed is internet based... Whats the legalities of me slipping code in there that if I don't log in once every 2 weeks it stops working? The web designer knows nothing about PHP so it may take him a very long time to fix it.
CLIFF NOTES:
1. Worked at a company with parents.
2. president of company, $crews secretary, does drugs at office
3. Dad left
4. President advertises my job on careerbuilder
5. fires mom on bogus charge
6. finally given bonus, less than a third of what was promised
7. Wants to move back to Salem, VA to be with Wife but not sure about notice time.
