I gave my two weeks notice

[jonas]

So, I gave my two weeks notice to the company I work for on August 19th. That's Sunday. I gave it before my shift, so to me, a complete 2 weeks of work will end this Saturday, September 1st.

I told them this, stating this Sunday (the 2nd) I have a trip planned and now they are telling me I may not have Sunday off, and they want me to work until Wednesday.

I don't really want to fubar my reference here, but this management team really piss me off. One of the reasons I am leaving.

Is it worth it to no show on Sunday and just off them, or is there a way they could get back at me? They do know my new employer, although I don't think they would care either way. (my new employer)

Legally they cannot say a damn thing about you to your new employer. All they can say what dates you worked for their company, thats it. Don't go to work on Sunday, and have fun on your trip.

[kingoffighters]

Fuck them.

[icarusfall]

Aren't you a cook? Isn't it your job to be all flaky and not show up occasionally?

Fuck the reference. Don't take no guff from swine.

[Advocate]

Just leave.

Like Tenchi said ... legally they can only say what days you work. Unless Canadian law is different.

[jonas]

Ya, I'm a cook but I'm usually quite honest and I have never called in sick here.
I've worked mega hard for them and taken bullshit like the next weeks schedule not being up until Saturday (that's right 24 hours before the fucking next day) and they can't even do me this favour.

I'm tired of working hard for dicks and fucking retards

Oddly enough, my trip is Sunday to Wednesday the exact days they want me to work.

Hey, I know what working at a place that you have can do to your soul. I got out and got a much better job and I'm glad you had the balls to quit too. Good luck.

Legally they cannot say a damn thing about you to your new employer. All they can say what dates you worked for their company, thats it. Don't go to work on Sunday, and have fun on your trip.

This is 100% correct.

[jonas]

I'm going to my new job in 45 minutes. So after that, I'm hoping I have a clear vision that my new job is kick ass. Then I can kick the hotel I currently work for to the curb way easier.

Besides verifying your dates of employment and compensation, your future employer could ask qualifiying questions like, "Would you hire this person again?" or something along those lines. And if your previous employer says "No", that may count against you when trying to get work from future employers. It's my understanding that a future employer can ask yes/no questions (almost like a cross-examination in court).

Maybe it's because I lost my job a few months ago and realized the HUGE importance of having a good reference; I suggest gutting it out on your last shift - as much as it sucks and much to the shegrin of other TNLers.

I guess look at this way - you may never want to work for that company again, but it's your name and reputation "at stake" so to say, and by acting like a professional, I'll guarantee you that your karma and the experience at your future employer will be better off.

Man it sucks soundling like an actual adult (especially on TNL), but I've witnessed other people (and myself) falter on these types of experiences becuase I had a "fuck it" attitude; which really didn't help in the long run.

[jonas]

Well I just feel I've been so professional for these 2 weeks after all their bullshit that now it's like more bullshit on top of this. I could tough it out that last day, but look at a calendar.

the 19th to the first, is exactly 2 weeks. the 19th to the 2nd, is 2 weeks and 1 day.

Bullshit.
