What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?I live in Oregon.
I got a large inheritance recently, and am SO ready to quit my job and head out on my own. Yes, I'm going to consult a financial planner for what to do with the money, and how to do it!
So I got to work today and told my boss the good news, and that I was going to give him my 2 week resignation. This guy has been trying to make me quit for 6 years; but I've had nowhere to go, so I've had to endure all his harassmant (of course, the non-documentable kind). Anyway, I thought he'd jump for joy, and tell me "don't let the door hit you on the way out".
Much to my dismay, he told me that's not acceptable...that they have been SOOOO loyal to me over the years, and so I need to give them at LEAST a month notice...but waiting until they hire and train a new guy would be the *most* "acceptable". He even told me at one point that he might not sign my last check if I leave in two weeks.
Let's see; they've been loyal by: not giving me a pay raise in 4 years; cutting everybody's year by 17 days 2 years ago; requiring me to work overtime with no comp time, and no overtime pay; and passing me over for a promotion because he doesn't like me. Yep; they've been SOOO loyal to me!!
??? I'm not worried about the money any more; I could walk out today, and probably should with all the garbage he's piled on me in the last 6 years. But I do *kind of* see his point, in that I've been here for 8 years, have lots of knowledge, and it would put a lot of strain on our dept. if I were to leave before getting a new guy hired / trained.
What do I do? I can't stand this place; I can't stand the commute. But I don't really want to leave them in the lurch, bitter as I am. Should I leave in two weeks, but tell them they can contact me a few hours a day for two weeks after I leave, and sort of "telecommute" for them?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
