    ...and, to top it all off, I'm unemployed.



    Accepted a job at a different credit union last night. Turned in my two weeks notice today and was informed that they would no longer be requiring my services.

    My week-and-a-half vacation just turned into damn near a month.

    Nothing like them letting you go after you give your two weeks. Enjoy the time off and good luck with the new job.

    You can post to your heart's content.(don't get hooked, however)
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    the good thing is he's probably getting paid for the two weeks. Mod pay will have to take care of the rest.

    I've never been that lucky, past employers have worked my *** off the last 2 weeks.

    based on your job history, that is like what, 18-20 weeks of working your *** off?

    You should compare notes with TD2K. She loves changing gigs! That gal changes jobs like Mrs. Homey changes her hair color...frequently and with wild abandon.

    That has been my experience, the last one even wanted me to finish some projects on a contract basis.

    Congrats, I took a week off between jobs in August.

    when people bothered to give me notice, the first thing I would ask them was when their new job start. Most of them indicated they could start basically immediately and I would just cut them loose right then with that as the justification. Even if it didn't start immediately I would have cut them loose right away. I saw too many people within their last 2 weeks just melt down on the phones with the customer. I even saw some where the phone call had to be taken over. The first agent who turned in a 2 week notice under me gave it to the manager while I was off. The next day, first bad customer he had, he got them taken care of, walked up to me and said he couldn't do the 2 weeks.

    Basically, it's a whole mindset. It's just easier to let them go then risk other things. There are of course exceptions....

    Re: ...and, to top it all off, I'm unemployed.

    yeah, I do change a lot, but I think thats partly my generation. we all have career A.D.D. and will take more money any time we can get it. (I've nearly doubled my salary in less than 4 years by changing jobs)
    1st job: 16 months
    2nd job: 13 months
    3rd job: 11 months
    current job: 3 weeks. I really think I'm gonna stick with this one a while. It's nice to be back into a small family owned company where I am appreciated and can really make a difference.

    I'm your age and no, it's mostly just you. If you have the same complaints about your work and your coworkers at each job you've had, it may just be you and not them (my wife has the same problem).

    I've almost tripled my salary since I was transferred from OKC to McKinney in 05 by sticking with the same company and working my way through the ranks. I'm now the youngest Regional Controller in my company (the oldest is twice my age) and companies tend to like people who are willing to stick through the hard times and get the job done, then the ones who will bail at the first opportunity.

    just my 2 cents.

    hopefully they paid you for those 2 weeks anyway. I know that used to be our policy at most banks I worked at.
