It is not providing me financial stability like I need in my life. Thank you for the opportunity and my apologies for not letting you know a lot sooner.

    K-Dawgizzle 9 hr. ago I always think it's funny that a company/boss can treat you like trash for your entire employment and then act shocked when you quit no notice. Like, do you really think you deserve a two week notice? Based on the way you treat people, do you think they can mentally handle another two weeks? 1.3k Reply Share

    Jerking_From_Home - 9 hr. ago "Would you give me two weeks notice if you fired me?" I always prefer to throw management's stupid BS back at them so they realize how stupid they sound. It's a way better burn because while management thinks they're smarter than everyone else, they really dislike having their corporate nonsense destroyed with a single sentence. 925 Reply Share
