So you've got a new job lined up, turned in your resignation...

Hell yeah, and it was awesome. They couldn't let me go early because I was too valuable, so for 2 weeks, I basically did whatever the hell I wanted. I did minimal work, took long lunches, played around on the internet, and ignored everything my boss said. Not one person grumbled about my (lack of) work, either, because no one expected much from me during those 2 weeks. Hurray for barely clearing low hurdles!

 

just rough it out, you never know one day you may need something from an ex-co-worker and they will be more willing to help you out if you are the guy they used to work with, rather than the that quit on them and left them with a load of work to do.

 

I'm doing that right now. My boss and others have promised that if I ever decide to come back, and they need someone, I'd be at the top of the list, and if I need it they'll write me good recommendations. I'm going to do whatever is expected for the next two weeks so that I don't close those doors.

 

Trying to be a caring employee, I made the mistake of letting my former boss know I was planning on leaving for law school about 6 months early. Two months before I left, he gives everybody in the office a huge raise but me, seriously pissing me off. I went to his boss and found out my boss had run my name through the mud in order to get his raises approved. It was a messed up situation, because I still had a LOT of work to do to finish up my work. In the end, he was forced to give me a 15 percent raise, which was sweet because I cashed out about 6 weeks of vacation at my new pay rate. You can say that those last two months were tense between the two of us, just a bit.

Two weeks is doable. Just never show your cards before you turn in that letter. Keep your mouth shut!!! Hard life lesson learned, right there.

 

I gave my notice today. Even though I'm a contractor and can just leave I wanted to do right by them. Do that on every job you have and it'll definitely come around to you. My last 5 jobs have all been referrals from past co-workers.

 

couldnt do anything on my last job, cause I was a supervisor, needed the money for the days i needed to work and well, i didnt do anything as a supervisor anyway....

 

Well, it all depends on whether or not you plan to burn bridges or you think you'll work with these co-workers again. I can tell you most likely you will, so tough it out. I have a good friend who left like that and pissed off people. I ended up working with some of those people at other jobs and had plenty of opportunities to bring my friend over but he got nixed everytime.

 

Do you have an option on your phone to take you out of the call loop? If so, I'd press that one.

 

I was at my last job for 12 years, more money was offered somewhere else and I took it. I stayed there my entire 2 week notice, worked, and left for lunch almost everyday, ( I never left much before) and got a cake and a gift. I didn't want to burn any bridges.

 

its a small world, don't burn bridges. But enjoy the easy 2 weeks.
If its a call center just hang up on the pain in the ass customers. Not your problem anymore
