Karma hit my supervisor this week and one other coworker. Coworker trashing me went out with a back injury leaving my supervisor more short handed for the time being.

Im not celebrating him getting hurt I hope he gets better at the sametime I can’t dispute that his health issues are from his copious illegal drug use either many have tried to help him on. I’m just a believer in karma. Both he and my boss were talking about me negatively. I hope my coworker is ok but I don’t feel bad my boss is now even more short handedKarma hit my supervisor this week and one other coworker.

Gotta say DJax, to be celebrating your colleagues' misfortune and hardship is a pretty strong indicator for me that this job is not a good fit for you and you should move on asap. Good luck sir.
Im currently looking. I got into this OVR program the state has for helping people like me get a new job. I’m currently in the beginning process. When I do leave they aren’t getting a 2 week notice. They didn’t earn or deserve that right with how they’ve handle things over the years for meBest of luck to you. I honestly think you just need to move on and find a new job/employer when you can. When you don’t see eye to eye with your employer and the trust between the both of you is eroded—there is no reason to continue a working relationship.

I think that looking for something new is absolutely the right move and I wish you nothing but good luck in that endeavor. As another poster already mentioned—how you leave your job is certainly your decision. With that said, in my personal opinion—you should be your authentic self when it comes to the manner in which you are leaving. You shouldn’t let other peoples poor behavior affect your behavior. You come across as a person that prefers fairness and kindness over petty revenge. You owe it to yourself to be true to your values more than you need to act out and be something that you are not. My advice is to continue your search, and when you find something—leave in a professional and authentic manner. I am a firm believer in karma—and my recommendation to you is to allow karma to do its thing in regards to the wrongdoings that your employer has put you through. Good luck.Im currently looking.

Sure, and that doesn’t make a difference. Regardless of what someone does for work- they need to advocate for themselves and wellbeing, and should be genuine and authentic in their actionsYou guys know he's a grocery store clerk right?

I was too. Two weeks notice is pretty standard for leaving any job imo. When he said he wasn’t going to give them 2 weeks notice when he left—I interpreted that as meaning that he normally would give a two week notice—but that he wasn’t going to do so as some sort of payback or revenge towards them. I just think that one is always better off acting in a genuine and authentic way and not letting the poor actions of others pull you down into acting like something that you are not. Often times, this is easier said that done—and I’ve certainly been guilty of acting out of character when I’m emotionally charged or feel wronged. I generally end up regretting it the massive majority of the time.I was more referring to the 2 weeksSure, and that doesn’t make a difference.

I kind of look forward to the quarterly updates.This is like year 5 of the same story

The 2 week notice or whatever is just a bS courtesy thing corporations made to connivance them. If they can fire you without 2 weeks notice we shouldn’t have to give it to them.Im currently looking.

Re: the bolded, it’s your prerogative. And I suspect that the last thing you are looking for is advice. But my suggestion would be to consider leaving in a professional manner, no matter how badly you feel you’ve been mistreated. Being tagged as not eligible for rehire can have repercussions for you down the road. HR or management folks that played no role in mistreating you might end up somewhere else down the road where they can open a door for you. Your reputation matters and can follow you in unexpected ways.
Yeah obviously I’m not going to be immature about it. I’ll let them know I’m done and will just say if I take this job I need to start right away they can’t wait 2 weeks.I think that looking for something new is absolutely the right move and I wish you nothing but good luck in that endeavor.

Honestly I think it depends on the job and people. If you liked where you worked the people and management absolutely give them some sort of earlier notice. But I’d you hate management shady job etc I wouldn’t bother.I was more referring to the 2 weeksSure, and that doesn’t make a difference.

I gave two weeks when I left my job at Target and at Blockbuster Video. The only job I ever quit without notice was a shady telemarketing job in college. I bailed after two hours and told them they didn’t have to pay me.
Only problem I see (and I saw it firsthand with my son and another friend) is they tell you you're not needed anymore and don't pay you, leaving you without income for two weeks until your new start date.I was more referring to the 2 weeksSure, and that doesn’t make a difference.

You've worked there for 20 years, no? Who do you think a potential employer is going to check for references? It's one thing if a high school or college kid quits without notice on a job they've worked at a few months. Your situation is entirely different. I have hired a lot of people over the years, and I've been called on for references a lot of times as well. The most damning thing I can hear from a reference is that they are not eligible for rehire. Conversely, that is one of the worst things I can say to someone checking in on my former employees. g'luck to you djackson10
eta - in regard to being fired without two weeks notice, you are correct. but then you can apply for unemployment benefits while looking for a new job. If you quit without notice, good luck with that. (not an expert, and it certainly varies state to state)

My company only allows for reference to only allow them to tell a new potential employer when start and finish dates as well as what they did there. There was an issue in my last company where a store manager lied about a persons termination do to personal vendetta and got the company sued. Someone who was friends with them at my store when we got taken over asked about this and they said company policy only allows us to tell them when you started and finished and what your job title/s were. If they want to confirm we were fired they have to call corporate offices not the store
FWIW Albertson's Companies corporate won't confirm fired or not. They won't advise rehire eligible or not. They'll give start/end dates and job title and that's it. Then refer you to the work number.
I'd give 2 weeks to ensure you're rehire eligible should you ever want/need to return to the company. Even if you dislike the place, you never know what may happen in the future.

So your company cavalierly violates employment laws such as ADA and FMLA, but you expect them to steadfastly comply with internal policies for reference checks?

Trust me I’m never going back to food retail again. The amount of ignorance from bosses to even customers is enough to make people worried about the future of the world. I think many would be appalled by a lot of things if they saw it first hand. The pandemic made it 100xs worse. A lot of people in my in my company showed their true colors since then.FWIW Albertson's Companies corporate won't confirm fired or not. They won't advise rehire eligible or not.

Yeah then they can have a wonderful conversation with the department of labor of covering up 2 guys who sold one another illegal drugs while the other my coworker has talked and sold it at work. Everyone from the district manager store manager and my department head know about it and covered that up.
I don’t think my store would do anything because they know I got enough dirt to get multiple people hire up fired, lose a pension or a possible retirement package when the new company comes in. It’d just be stupid if then to do.

HR or management folks that played no role in mistreating you might end up somewhere else down the road where they can open a door for you. Your reputation matters and can follow you in unexpected ways.
I work at a grocery store. No one follows the 2 weeks unless they are coming back because of leaving for school and living there.
You've worked there for 20 years, no? Who do you think a potential employer is going to check for references? It's one thing if a high school or college kid quits without notice on a job they've worked at a few months. Your situation is entirely different. I have hired a lot of people over the years, and I've been called on for references a lot of times as well. The most damning thing I can hear from a reference is that they are not eligible for rehire. Conversely, that is one of the worst things I can say to someone checking in on my former employees. g'luck to you djackson10
eta - in regard to being fired without two weeks notice, you are correct. but then you can apply for unemployment benefits while looking for a new job. If you quit without notice, good luck with that. (not an expert, and it certainly varies state to state)
My company only allows for reference to only allow them to tell a new potential employer when start and finish dates as well as what they did there. There was an issue in my last company where a store manager lied about a persons termination do to personal vendetta and got the company sued. Someone who was friends with them at my store when we got taken over asked about this and they said company policy only allows us to tell them when you started and finished and what your job title/s were. If they want to confirm we were fired they have to call corporate offices not the store
So your company cavalierly violates employment laws such as ADA and FMLA, but you expect them to steadfastly comply with internal policies for reference checks? If they (or your manager) say you are not eligible for rehire because you failed to give two weeks notice, they would be telling the truth and wouldn’t be violating any laws.
Yeah then they can have a wonderful conversation with the department of labor of covering up 2 guys who sold one another illegal drugs while the other my coworker has talked and sold it at work. Everyone from the district manager store manager and my department head know about it and covered that up.
I don’t think my store would do anything because they know I got enough dirt to get multiple people hire up fired, lose a pension or a possible retirement package when the new company comes in. It’d just be stupid if then to do.
Sue them for two weeks’ pay?
Yeah, it's his money. Compensatory and punitive damages. And this is all in the land of make belief, so what better way for DJ to spend his free time than gloat?Blow the whistle on the illegal activity, then give your 2 weeks notice. If they send you home immediately, it can be construed as retaliatory. Sue them. WIn.You should really heed bigbottom's advice here as he's one of the smartest and most helpful people on the board.The 2 week notice or whatever is just a bS courtesy thing corporations made to connivance them. If they can fire you without 2 weeks notice we shouldn’t have to give it to them.Im currently looking. I got into this OVR program the state has for helping people like me get a new job. I’m currently in the beginning process. When I do leave they aren’t getting a 2 week notice. They didn’t earn or deserve that right with how they’ve handle things over the years for meBest of luck to you. I honestly think you just need to move on and find a new job/employer when you can. When you don’t see eye to eye with your employer and the trust between the both of you is eroded—there is no reason to continue a working relationship.

@bigbottom has already provided great input in this thread, but I want to further stress the point because it goes far beyond the legalities. @DJackson10 the reason I strongly suggest you give your two weeks notice is because you don't know who will notice that offer nor when it will be appreciated, but 10 years down the line when life takes you in some direction the person who noticed you do this very likely will remember and you get rewarded (whether it be with a job, by a referral, or because you want to date his or her daughter or some such).You should really heed bigbottom's advice here as he's one of the smartest and most helpful people on the board.The 2 week notice or whatever is just a bS courtesy thing corporations made to connivance them.

I was more referring to the 2 weeksSure, and that doesn’t make a difference. Regardless of what someone does for work- they need to advocate for themselves and wellbeing being, and should be genuine and authentic in their actionsYou guys know he's a grocery store clerk right?
I gave two weeks when I left my job at Target and at Blockbuster Video. The only job I ever quit without notice was a shady telemarketing job in college. I bailed after two hours and told them they didn’t have to pay me.

Yeah, you won’t get compensatory or punitive damages on those facts. No plaintiff’s lawyer worth his/her salt would touch a case with two weeks’ pay as actual damages, even with an outside shot at punitives. But yeah, it’s fun to think about.
The job market is tough for the leftovers. I'm very accustomed to submitting applications and never hearing back. But when I squeeze my foot in the door, I can usually secure a job. A couple weeks ago, I visited a local hotel that is seeking a weekend worker. The pay is comparatively low but it's only 2 blocks from my apartment and the schedule works with my life. I spoke to the lady, who is covering the weekends until she hires relief, and she seemed disturbed by my hand written resume. "Are you computer literate?" She asked. She also repeatedly impressed upon me the importance of presence. "When the weddings happen on Saturday, we need someone who really has a presence," She said, while lifting her hands skyward. I was standing tall, freshly shaven and wearing pants. Did I not have enough presence? I guess not, never heard back.Spend less time trying to find ways to get back at your current company and more time finding another line of work.
