Company Undervalues IT Guy Until He Leaves, Beg Him to Come Back

This IT guy, u/fiveSE7EN, worked for a small business and handled everything technical. The pay wasn't great, but some other factors about the job suited his lifestyle. As there often is with small companies (you are usually at the whims of one or two people after all), some oddities popped up during the interview process. The employer was mainly focused on the fact that the successful candidate should be willing to commit to five years and give two weeks' notice. u/fiveSE7EN figured that they must have been burned in the past.

Even stranger was that there was no mention of a notice period anywhere when the contract came through. The agreement of a mutual two weeks notice seemed to be verbal only. 

u/fiveSE7EN would learn during his time with the company why previous IT workers might have just up and left without notice. He witnessed some generally poor behavior on the employer, including seeing the boss sacking people without two weeks' notice or pay and betraying the very thing he had been so obsessed about.

u/fiveSE7EN knew that the employer wouldn't have his back when it came down to it. Still, when the time came for him to leave, he gave the employer two weeks' notice.

Despite this, the employer was utterly unable to get their act together, and they would soon learn that they should have appreciated their IT guy more.
