MY BACKGROUND AND URINE ARE CLEAR ENOUGH!

[1stTimeCaller]

to start the new job. They want me to be there Monday. Do I dynomite and then pee on this bridge or do I put the new job on hold for two weeks?

[olevetonahill]

How did you explain the carpet fibres in the urine ?

[Preservation Parcels]

No dynomite! Graciously thank whomever is appropriate and tender your resignation. A lot of places will immediately escort you to the door as a matter of company policy (and to keep you from absconding with company secrets.) If they want you to work out the two weeks, explain that you would be happy to help train your successor, but that if an earlier exit is possible, you would appreciate it. Exploded bridges might be fun for a few minutes, but they smell bad and may leave you with messy cleanup later.

[Mongo]

I say give them the two week, finish one week, then take vaction days(if you have any) for the last week. Oh, and take a fairwell dump in the other guy's filing cabinet.

[1stTimeCaller]

I could leave em with an upperdecker!!

Hey Mongo, I'm gonna be an MWD.

[Hamhock]

give the two weeks. if, not you are sending a message not only to the old employer, but also the new one.

[Mjcpr]

I could leave em with an upperdecker!!

Hey Mongo, I'm gonna be an MWD.

A Man of Wet Destruction?

:confused:

Hope you got a steady girlfriend or supply of pu......you know, cause you aint gonna have time to court any semi famous singers.

[LilSooner]

Congrats on the new job, don't do anything that gets you thrown in the clinker.

[Preservation Parcels]

Exactly! You're worth the wait ;)

[1stTimeCaller]

Exactly! You're worth the wait ;)

I heard that a lot when I was in High School :(

[1stTimeCaller]

I gotta get busy burning stuff onto CDs from the puter.

[skycat]

But do they know about the urine in your background?

[colleyvillesooner]

I have a dog....

Gross, dude.

[OU4LIFE]

I'd OFFER them the two weeks, they may tell you to go at anytime.

I would.

:les: GET THE FARK OUT!

[skycat]

Gross, dude.

Red Rocket! Red Rocket!

[1stTimeCaller]

I'd OFFER them the two weeks, they may tell you to go at anytime.

:les: GET THE FARK OUT!

That's what I hope happens.

[Skysooner]

On my last job (2 months ago), I had my entire office cleared out except for wall hangings prior to my vacation. I took my vacation, gave notice, and they allowed me to stay a week. I figured I could have been out the door in 5 minutes if they told me to leave immediately.

[Mongo]

I dont think the directional driller would appreciate the smacking sound of a dog and peanut butter, it could get annoying

That's how I did the last job. I can have this office ready to be cleaned out in 5 minutes after lunch. I just gotta sneak stuff to my car. My stuff, not theirs.

[OU4LIFE]

once it's in your car, it's your stuff....9/10ths.

[tulsaoilerfan]

give the two weeks. if, not you are sending a message not only to the old employer, but also the new one.
why do you have to give any notice when you quit a job? if they were going to can you do you think you would get 2 weeks notice?:eek:

[NormanPride]

How long is this new job going to last?

[1stTimeCaller]

forever and ever

[Petro-Sooner]

Gross, dude.

But its HIS dog..........

So your saying He didn't explain the carpet fibres in his urine ?

[soonerboomer93]

forever and ever

over under is 6 months

[OklahomaRed]

I bet 6 months or less. Wherever 1TC is working, you can be assured they will spend more timing surfing the internet than actually working. :D

so you are familiar with the duties of a MWD. cool.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

WTG, you.

I'll expect the same quality shenanigans at your new place of business.

Don't let me down.

[NormanPride]

We want more LGs and OGs! We lost Slick's secretary, now we need more entertaining people.

[Scott D]

did anyone tell 1tc that they offered his new job to LG and OG also?

[BudSooner]

Congrats on the new job, but do the right thing and give the two weeks.
Thank them for the chance to work for them, and fart on the way out the door.

[IB4OU2]

"Dang Dude! The inside of this 5th wheel smells like ammonia...."

[1stTimeCaller]

Dont tell any of the ruff necks that you like Jack Ingram, they are liable to kill you.:D

[1stTimeCaller]

so I shouldn't show them my pillows?

[ChickSoonerFan]

Give two week notice!! Why wouldn't you?

Last week a new girl we had just hired left me a voice message at 6:30AM that she would not be returning...how weak. Left us in a pretty bad spot.

Not cool.

[ChickSoonerFan]

why do you have to give any notice when you quit a job? if they were going to can you do you think you would get 2 weeks notice?:eek:

They are supposed to.

Find out where her current employer is, and let them know. SOP, really.

[1stTimeCaller]

I'm pretty sure that that isn't legal.

[C&CDean]

You give an employer two-weeks notice because that's what decent people do. You don't throw your cigar butts down on the green. You don't light your cigar in church. You don't **** on your girlfriend's rug. Well, decent people don't anyhow.

[Scott D]

Find out where her current employer is, and let them know. SOP, really.

not SOP. Most employers now in order to avoid possible lawsuits over slander won't say anything other than to confirm that an individual worked for them between time x and time y.

It's also a reason that most states of a 90 day 'At Will' window. Termination of a job within that window no questions asked lends itself to privacy, for both the employer and ex-employee.

Don't businesses usually check up on references? I guess that's what I'm thinking of. You don't screw over your previous employer because they can make it very hard for you to get another job... In this case you wouldn't have to worry about legal repercussions as much because she left a freaking voicemail.

Unless Chick deleted it. :O

[Scott D]

Businesses can call to get a reference. But in CYA tactics most businesses will only confirm if an employee worked during a set time period, and possibly if that individual is rehireable by that business.

It's dirty pool to screw over an employer the way that girl did to Chick and them, however the screwjob goes both ways when someone tries to do the decent thing, and they get shown the door the minute they put in 2 week notice.

[NormanPride]

I thought there were laws in place to require employers to give 2 weeks? Or is that not true in Oklahoma?

don't ask me, I haven't lived in Oklahoma for nearly 13 years.

[1stTimeCaller]

how's this

Boss Man, I am turning in my two week notice. I have really enjoyed my short stint with Company X and feel bad about leaving after such a short time but I fell into this new opportunity and I cannot pass it up. This new opportunity for me is not construction related.

I hope I have done some good while I was here.

Thank you,

Perfect.

[soonerboomer93]

There are no laws requiring 2 weeks notice (unless stated otherwise in a contract). Employment is an "at will" thing. I know where I work if anyone gives notice (rarely) I just go ahead and make it effective that day. I've seen too many people act like an *** to customers on the phone after giving notice.

Business will only generally advise if you were employeed, how long, and if you're eligible for rehire.

[1stTimeCaller]

Whew, I hate quitting jobs. I know, I know. My boss was cool about it and said he wished I wasn't leaving but if someone offered to double his salary he'd leave tomorrow. The Super said that I was an ***hole for leaving him with Other Guy. They want me to stay at least another week. I gotta get Lazy Guy up to speed on what I've been doing and what loosed ends I'm chasing down.

[BoogercountySooner]

Give 2 weeks and see what happens!?

so the super is mad at you because Other Guy is a dip****? If he was smart, he's just have other guy relocated off the project.

[SoonerBorn68]

They said N Texas, SE Oklahoma and the panhandle.

:D. God be with ya.

When you go to the panhandle have:

a) A full tank fuel when you get past Shamrock
b) A two week supply of food & water
c) A satellite TV system
d) A DVD player with lots of DVD's
e) A two weeks worth of clothes
f) Books, magazines, etc.
g) Lots of TP
f) A laptop

I've done that for over a year...I just got a raise.
