Would you give 2 weeks notice at your job if you had a boss like this?

I simply recieved a christmas gift for a 5 day vaction and put in my days and my boss freaked and had a meeting she is a ***** treats me like crap and always manages to make her self seem amazing please read the email below....ps i never knew we wea in market and as far as the gossiping thing i dont speak to anyone in the office....people simple asked me how was christmas and asked me what i got and i told them....and i was never given a verbal warning nor was half of this discussed during the meating..i think its bullshit just becauset i refuse to lay out 300 extra bucks to change my trip and I was never told when hired you can not take off in Febuary. As far as appearance i come in with clean ironed clothes my hair neat in a bun r down.......I am always on time unless my subway makes me late which is outa my hands this NYC.

Nicole,

Just to recap our meeting today with Michael regarding your time off request from Feb 2-9 while we are in market; Michael and I will review the potential appointments that will be scheduled that week and decide whether or not we can manage market without a receptionist. We will advise within next week whether the Out of Office Request is approved.

I would like to take the opportunity to also clarify that market is the most important time for our business. Being part of the operations team, it is our job to ensure a smooth market by providing an organized showroom. Each member of our team has specific responsibilities that are imperative to make this happen. Unfortunately, your insistence to abandon your responsibilities without caring about the consequences leads me to believe that you do not hold yourself accountable for your responsibilities.

Please be advised that this is a formal write up for lack of accountability and reliability. In two weeks, on January 18th we will review your performance for the following:

- Attendance

- Punctual arrival

- Professionalism: Speaking to me or Michael directly about any complaints or concerns you might have, rather than gossiping.

- Presence: Professional and neat

If you would like to discuss or clarify any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to experience you reaching your full potential.

You should give your 2 weeks notice only because you have to protect your reputation. Regardless of how well you guys got along, it just looks better if you remain professional.

That way you can leave guilt free and don't have to worry about anyone looking down on you.

Good Luck!

I have experienced an unfair boss too. It is so hurtful. They could use a temp. service to fill in for you when you go on your trip.

I would start looking for another job before you quit. I also know how hard it can be to find a new one. If you find a new job, then give a notice or not and quit if you can.

I am sorry that this has happened to you. It is not right.

Depends, sometimes it's better just to leave a job without giving notice if you can't take the repeated mental stress anymore. I had a boss from hell and got sick of their BS one day and walked out and never returned, I don't regret it one bit. In your case give them two weeks since it seems that they aren't as bad as mine was but if they were I'd advise you to find another job first and walk out the day you get your paycheck.

Don't do anything so abruptly .I would suggest you explore the possibility of getting an alternative job anywhere else , which suits you .Once you get this, just place your stipulated 2 week notice , if that's practice in this .....or else , just submit your letter of resignation (....with or without the copy of that "text message".....and the summary of events relating to behaviour of this boss ........... .......which may also be done later on)

Two week notices are an antiquated courtesy. There is on way any employer would give you two week notice before they fired you!

Find another job and if you feel you owe them anything give them a couple of days. You will feel much better for it.

Good luck!

What do you mean "put in my days"? In every place I've ever worked, all time off must be requested. Unfortunately, you cannot simply tell your boss when you will not be there. Vacation must be approved in advance. You should not have scheduled a trip without approval of those days IN WRITING.

Regarding punctual arrival/attendance, unfortunately there are no exceptions to work rules for the failings of public transportation. You are expected to get yourself there on time whatever it takes.

About the professionalism, that's a broad category into which they can throw anything. Sounds like they interpreted your vacation announcement as gossiping, given the contentiousness of the issue of you taking off during market (which you were responsible for knowing about as an industry knowledge thing). Regarding professional and neat presence, that's also a catch-all. They better have specifics as to what they feel is wrong with your outfit/grooming.

Frankly, this sounds like a bad match. Get another job asap. As far as giving notice, it depends. How badly will this burnt bridge harm you? The absolute BEST revenge on a bad job ever is to make yourself invaluable and then give notice and go. So mend the rift and suck up, become their best employee ever, all the while looking for replacement employment and giving notice the minute you find it.

There's a lot you need to take into account. You need a copy of this company's policies to be able to really decide how to protect yourself best. If a verbal warning is required first, don't accept the written warning. Whatever you do, don't sign it or write on it at all. There is no law forcing you to.

Good luck.
