i was thinking of doing it end of day friday so that way i wouldn't have to see him right the next morning...
but then i was thinking that i'd have to wonder all weekend if monday was going to be ackward.
so now i'm thinking i'll put it in on monday and just get the ackwardness over with.
whatcha'll think?
He might tell you to go home.
i have to give two weeks notice by law. i'd also like to try and ease in the transition of a new guy (ie. prep some cheat sheets based on my lack of training). but i am bailing at a pretty crucial time for them...
it's only ackward because i anticipate him not reacting the best - and i still have to work with him on some things...
gretriever - that sounds pretty harsh... i have to give two weeks notice by law. i'd also like to try and ease in the transition of a new guy (ie. prep some cheat sheets based on my lack of training). but i am bailing at a pretty crucial time for them... it's only ackward because i anticipate him not reacting the best - and i still have to work with him on some things...
What I'd do is harsh, or what they did? If it's what I'd do, they've got it coming. If I gave them any lead time, I'd hear, "You can't go, you're too important, the output and quality here would suffer." Gee, folks, you should have thought of that before you pulled all this s---. You can't kill someone who's already dead.
When I worked at a government shipyard they laid of 699 of us 48 years ago. I don't know about the others but me and my partner were instructors in the training division. We were hired to teach a 2-1/2 year program that we wrote ourselves. It was to bring helpers up to journeyman level in their trades. The layoff was to take place in 6 months which was also 6 months from the end of our first class of students.So we were a year and 6 months into a 2 year and 6 month program. My partner was # 698 and I was # 699 on the list so our boss tried everything he could to get us off the list as he was the highest ranking civilian in the yard but nothing worked. They asked us to speed up our classes so our students would graduate before we had to leave. So we squeezed the last year into 6 months. Effectively we got about 9 months notice of our impending doom. Recently there was a story in the news about a new training program they have begun that brings helpers up to journeyman level in 30 months. Ours was named the mechanical skills progression program they substituted another word for mechanical in the name of the new program. I wonder if they stole our lesson plans too?
Where's the PMS thread? It's safe in there!
doing it on a monday makes you look like you have a bad case of the mondays and just can't cope with a job
do it on tuesday morning.
*puts on a brave face*
