Sometimes, when you mess around too much, you find out the hard way that there are very real consequences associated with your actions. It's all well and good for you to do as you'd like and act as you please, but when it comes to facing the consequences you'd better come to terms with it.
That's what this employer is going to have to do when they realize that their driver went ahead and found another job (with better pay) after being told that his job was no longer available when he tried to come back after their usual seasonal winter layoffs. They had likely gone for someone with less experience or with shaky qualifications in an attempt to save a quick buck, but when that didn't pan out, they panicked and tried to bring the drive back urgently to maintain continuity of operations. What… did they just think he would wait around for them after being told there was no work available?
The silver lining and the lesson here is that it's easy to get complacent with your routine and forget that you could very easily make moves to change your life for the better. While it stinks to be out of work, especially when you're in a position that you couldn't be without it, you almost have to be thankful for situations like this for giving you the push you need to make a better life for yourself.
In need of cash, with a slight gap before his new job was scheduled to start, and with some cunning advice from readers, the driver is planning on driving for his old employer until his new job starts, at which time he'll either ghost them or give his notice. Sounds like a win all around.
