Corporations and their unfair double standards and pretentiousness over their employees.
You are happy you got a new job that is way better than the current one, decides that you are going to tell them on Friday and end your relationship with the company completely. On Wednesday your at the office, minding your business, doing your job, when your boss comes over to your desk to tell you that the company will not be needing the position you’re filling any longer. Not only are they getting rid of you, but of the whole position. You take it calmly and simply respond that everything is fine, you already have a new job waiting for you, and that you were going to tell them on Friday. Instead of a normal response from your manager, you get hit with “Well, I hope you were planning to give proper notice.” WHAT? This is what happened to a user who told his story on Reddit.
This person just told you that you are done with the company, starting Friday, but he thinks you should give very advanced notice before leaving your job. Where does that double standard come from? They are doing a two-day notice, and you were supposed to give a two-week notice. How is that fair? The company just loses an employee –that they don’t even need anymore– you completely loose you income and put your career in stand by till you can find something new. They aren’t really having a problem with you leaving. The problem is that they can no longer control you.
I’m tired of this double standard used to control employees, even when they are already done with them. They can be leaving you and your family without the income that feeds, dresses, and maintains your house from one day to another, without one second thought going through their mind, but you have to be mindful of the company and always think of them before you make any decisions. This just proves the corporate world has gone too far. They don’t treat employees like people anymore.
