Then on Friday I was given a totally unexpected 5.5% raise. So that’s a good consolation prize I guess. Half the extra pay with no added responsibility.
With the raise alone, it is :notbad:
:dat:
:notbad: at all, especially considering no extra responsibility.

Now you can collect unemployment until the new gig.

Put my two weeks in on Thursday, and the owner said if I want to just leave I can, but I told him I'd like to finish out. He had my manager call me who's currently rushing back from NY to tell me don't bother showing up. However I do have to go in to get my things. I was going to bring Abbott's frozen custard for everyone on my last day but I guess they won't get that now.

Bummer. Are they paying you out at least for the last two weeks ?

That seems odd to just punt someone like that unless of course you’re going to a competitor of sorts and they got wind

Nope they aren't paying out.

I'm not going to a competitor they're just fucking losers. The owner is one of those fake do gooders that was too scared to talk to me directly. Last year he told me, and this is a direct quote, "you're being what my kids would call extra. I only need you to be good enough, most welds get covered up anyways", when I stayed late to get some clarification on how he wants things to be so I could make sure every product comes out exactly the same. It was not a great place to work hence why I'm leaving but still a chicken shit move to go about this the way he did.

Gotta get away from Waikiki and mostly Oahu in general for it to be really great. The low population areas are incredibly beautiful.

What a bunch of fucks. I’d say apply for unemployment as well so they’ll have to pay out. Best to stay professional but I’d be really tempted to make a scene on the way out :lolol:

I left quietly with my stuff this morning. My manager was red in the face he was so embarrassed, and the owners kids would even look at me.

Called hendrick and I'm starting tomorrow though.

Awkward but seems it worked out in your favor with two extra weeks at the better gig.

I did not love Waikiki. It was nice how kid friendly everything was but it was way too built up and busy for me.

Good. Your conscience is clear and you'll make a new start tomorrow. And maybe you'll find a new work crush? :hubba:

Good luck in the new gig :mahman: !
