Entitled manager does not ‘approve' of employees resignation, so she quits on the spot and manager still has the audacity to ask her to stay for a project handover: ‘How do you refuse a two-week notice?’

You may have already thought your manager was entitled, but just wait until you try to quit. Then their real colors start to show! This employee had meticulously planned her departure from this company. She made sure to line up a new job and gave space to be able to turn in a two-week notice. As a courtesy to not burn any bridges on your way out of an old job to a new one. Well, when she went to turn in her resignation letter, her entitled boss simply looked at it and said he "did not approve" of it… He did not approve of her quitting? So sorry, sir, but you don't own her. She is legally allowed to leave whenever she wants. She's giving you two weeks so you don't fall behind. She could have made her exit much more difficult. 

 

But nope, he decided he wanted to make it difficult all on his own. When she went back to her desk, she wrote up an email that she sent to him, the ceo, and HR restating her two weeks notice. Soon after, HR came to her and told her to clear her belonging and that she would be leaving now. She actually had planned for this reaction already, because she already knew her boss was petty. So she happily took her already-packed things and started to walk out of that office for the last time with pride. Before she was out, her boss still had the audacity to stop her and ask her to stay a little long for a project handover. Sir, she offered you two weeks and you gave her nothing, why would you expect anything more than nothing in return?? She obviously refused, and walked on out without looking back.
