I dunno how this varies by state, but at places I have been if they aren't comfortable letting you serve out the notice period they will pay you for the two weeks. If they don't pay people for the for notice period then gently caress them.

She had a major problem with insubordination and starting office drama, and we were thankful that she put in her two weeks. Then the very next day she started causing even more problems, like threatening to report us as committing a crime for not giving her her latest pay stub....when we had switched to a new provider and pay stubs were now given out the next day. After talking it over we agreed that she would be more trouble than she was worth so we gave her 2 weeks' pay and told her to clean out her desk. She decided that would be the best time to try and start an office uprising yelling at me, and I nearly had to forcibly turn her computer off to stop her from doing anything more on it. She's since filed a lawsuit claiming that we owe her extra money and we may have just found evidence of her breaking into work email accounts after hours!

La Brea Carpet posted:Can we have a national PSA that a "two weeks notice" is a courtesy and not some weird employment law. In the UK it forms part of your contractual agreement and while 99% of the time it won't matter, you're legally obliged to work the notice period and your employer must pay you for it. The same applies in reverse, they are obliged to pay you for your notice period, and they can ask you to work it if they fire you (excluding gross misconduct). In most jobs in the UK the notice period is a month, but as I work in a sensitive "professional" role (i.e. It's a job that requires a professional qualification) my notice period is actually 3 months. Realistically I could moonwalk out of my office tomorrow and nothing bad would technically happen, but if me not being there resulted in some sort of material financial loss I could be sued.

Granted they all knew that I was a new hire and later told me that you typically eat light for a company lunch to encourage it to be a regular thing and not something they cut to save money. I can't even imagine the logic of "well since someone else is paying I'll get to meals and just sample them both" what are they like when out with friends and someone offers to cover? Just ordering the entire apps menu and stare befuddled when people start yelling at them?

When I worked retail I’ve seen people put in two weeks only to have the last week give them no hours. I never understood why because it often wasn’t a performance thing and we were almost always understaffed.

They said that wasn’t a reasonable amount of time. The worst part was that he was going down to per diem and they still had him filling a bunch of shifts, so his response was basically “give me the check for my back PTO or I quit” and they caved.

She also stole test questions to try and sell to the highest bidder. In the case of the girl we denied the two weeks to, she continued messing with her computer and tried to tell me I "had no authority" to make her stop after she had been told to clean out her desk. In some places that's enough to get very large men in polo shirts to physically force you away from your desk.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for not being more sympathetic towards my husband? ESH. stop playing power games and get him to the hospital. if he's refusing, call an ambulance. brown recluses have a few different strains of venom and a couple of them are hemotoxic. they also might be necroticizing (estimates of up to 37% of all such bites). their bites can kill children of average body size ages 7 and under. for a grown adult they can cause golf ball size abscesses that will become gangrenous without medical intervention. don't google pictures of bites, you'll be sorry you did. it is actually somewhat unlikely that he got a recluse bite. they aren't common as the species is not aggressive and does its best to avoid interaction with anything bigger than it. and hallucinations are not actually on the common symptoms list so that's kind of more concerning. whatever is going on there it is time for someone to step up and be the adult.

I've heard in lots of roles that deal with finances it's customary to politely walk the person out under guard as soon as they serve notice, but pay the two weeks and everything stays friendly. I don't know how much giving notice actually pushes folks over the embezzlement temptation line, but at some point somebody decided it was too much.

I don't know how much giving notice actually pushes folks over the embezzlement temptation line, but at some point somebody decided it was too much. Along with embezzlement or theft, it's also easily possible for an especially spiteful employee to sabotage things on their way out (especially if they were fired or doing so badly that they expect to get fired shortly). Unless you're in a huge corporation where nobody knows anybody, you can generally gauge whether someone who put in their two weeks is going to be a problem. We've had two people who were difficult to work with cause major issues and end up leaving early after giving their notice, but we had one who we already expected to leave because he was just working here temporarily until he got a job in his desired field. He didn't cause any problems, helped with a smooth transition, and left with a positive recommendation from us.

I am endlessly amused by the silly nothing problems some of the people feel compelled to post about AITA for yelling at my mom for opening the balcony door and a pigeon almost walked inside? quote:I always sleep on a mattress in the living room in my mom’s apartment building. I sleep right next to the balcony and did the same last night. However, when my mom work up at 6am to go for a run, she noticed it was hot and opened the balcony door. She forgot to close the slider screen door with the little holes in it (similar to the draining dishes for noodles) when she opened the main balcony door. So it was WIDE open. But I was sleeping and heard pigeon noises. It’s not uncommon for me to hear pigeon noises since they always come to the balcony in the morning (i live on the 6th floor btw). But this one was close. I see a pigeon with its head literally inside my apartment. About 3 feet from the inside. And I screamed So loud because I’m terrified of pigeons. The pigeon thankfully went outside instead of inside out of fear. I slammed the balcony door shut and called me mom and yelled at her for leaving it wide open and almost having a pigeon walk inside

AITA for telling a store clerk my baby died? Obvious content warning for infant loss. I lost my baby at 34 weeks pregnant. Since I was so close to full term, I obviously had baby clothes, furniture, toys, diapers etc. I kept gift receipts, tags, all sorts of things. When I lost my son, I returned everything I could. I bought a lot of things at a store specific for babies and baby products. The last time I was in there I was very pregnant so the employee was excited to see me not pregnant thinking I had a little bouncing baby at home. When she asked why I was returning these things I said they just didn’t work out for me. She kept pushing, offering to exchange for anything obviously being a good employee so in no way am I implying she’s the rear end in a top hat. But after a few minutes I said “My baby died, so I don’t need to exchange anything thank you.” She was obviously taken aback and started crying. When I called my friend on the way home to talk about it, she told me that was super uncalled for and she couldn’t have known my baby died. Did I cross the line? Am I the rear end in a top hat?

I guess it was a bit harsh but so be it. I have a rule about pregnancy, never talk about it unless prompted by the other party. Also, unless the baby is crowning right then and there, never assume a woman is pregnant or ask about it.

AITA for telling my boss that personality tests are bullshit? So. The company that I work for is OBSESSED with a certain type of personality test (think Myers-Briggs, but instead of 16 possible "types" there are 34 possible "strengths," and each person has a unique order of the 34 strengths). What do I mean by obsessed? Had all 35 employees take it about three years ago, have incorporated the results into *literally* every single monthly all-staff meeting since, have a "team-building" activity each month based on the results, two years ago Christmas gift from the company was personalized plaques for each of us that listed our top five strengths. Obsessed. Personally, I think that such personality tests are hot. steamy. bullshit. (People answer the questions based upon how they see themselves, so OF COURSE the results of the test end up "dEsCribinG mE eXaCtlY!!" Uuuugh.) However, I completely understand that part of being an adult and being in the working world is sometimes sucking it up and doing things that you don't necessarily believe in or want to do. As such, I have dutifully participated, taking the test, participating in the monthly activities, displaying my personalized plaque on my desk, etc., and never saying a bad word about it. However. This month's monthly all-staff meeting was last week. Myself and a coworker were on a conference call that cut into the meeting time, so we arrived late (we had permission from our respective bosses to arrive late). When we arrived, the staff was already engaged in this month's activity: all of the employees were split into four groups. My boss came over to explain the groups to myself and coworker: apparently one was the circle group, one was the square group, one was the triangle group, and one was the squiggle group--we were meant to choose a group based upon which shape we most identified with. It must have shown on my face how ridiculous I thought it was to identify with a shape, or to choose a shape, or how on earth this linked in with the 34 strengths. My boss basically said, "Just pick one." I took it to mean that maybe she thought this was a bit silly too, but that she was telling me to just pick a shape group at random so that we could get through the activity and get back to our workday, which is what I did. However, the next day, my boss pulled me into her office to discuss, and turned this into a whole thing. I decided to just be honest with her that I doubted the validity of the test in the first place, and that I felt our company's use of it had run its course. She told me that it was inappropriate for me to only to express such views but to even hold them in the first place, in other words that I'm TA. tl;dr: Company is obsessed with personality test, I told boss I was over it, AITA?
