Rant Prayers Needed - Quitting My Day Job

In summary, the store owner has given the part timer all of the shifts, taken away one day of the month that the employee had asked to have off, and given the employee fewer hours than she was originally hired for.

YEA! I'm so happy for you! I bet you feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders?

And I agree with your DH...I think he acted very immaturely.

I do Becky, I do. I really wish however I could have met with him in person. It felt so childish leaving messages but I wasn't waiting any longer (he was out of town Tues and didn't/wouldn't call me back Wed or this morning).

I think you handled it well. I know some people who wouldn't even bother to return the uniform, and you showed great responsibility by obviously wanting to return all company property. Take a deep breath, let it out. And then have a glass of wine and a little celebration!

Yay! Congratulations!!!

I might suggest you send a letter or an email just to confirm. He could come back and say he never got a message and you just abandoned your job.

Now get on the phone and book some shows! :)

I agree. Write and letter and send it certified mail with signature required. That way whoever signs for it (even if it is her) will be notified within proper channels. I really think he knew what was up and took the chicken's way out! HUGS!BOOK BOOK BOOK those shows! :)

Congrats on quitting! Just saw this thread, I haven't been on here as much lately, but I'm glad you are rid of that job and feel better.
