>get hired at a new job>put in 2 week notice at my old job at a restaurant ready to work my last weeks for goodbye before quitting >an hour into my shift one of my managers pulls me aside>takes me to back hallway and tells me to empty my locker>"you're done here">i tell him i put in my 2 week notice>"and I'm giving you your 2 second notice">empty locker and leave never to returnDid he just fire me because he was pissed off about me quitting? Not a huge deal since I'm working somewhere else now anyway (that pays better) but now i don't even know if i can ever use the restaurant as a reference?
>you can't quit, you're fired!
Bump
Yes, small business kikelords are hysterical womanly faggots and they all do this shit, welcome to the world, happened to me last year lmao
>restaurant >2 weeks noticevery polite of you, anonbut in low-skill / high-turnover roles, those 2 weeks are just a window for someone to be disinterested and fuck things upit's better for him if you leave immediately, regardless of if you thought you were going to goof off or nothe's mad that a worker is leaving, don't take it personally
>>34376327Same thing is standard in blue collar jobs, just a liability thing.If they can't beat the offer of your new employer for they have no intention of keeping you around above the means that you had already determined weren't enough for you then odds are they'll just let you go that day. If on the rare occasion they do let you stick around for that 2 week mark it's because you are critical to some form or function of their business, or they intend to make a good counter offer. My last boss tried every trick in the book to get me to stay but it wasn't about the money by the time I left.Best of luck on your next venture OP!
>>34376327Something to keep in mind for the future: depending upon your state's specific policies, you are eligible for unemployment benefits for a given duration if you are fired without cause, and if you give your employer a notice of intent to resign, but they don't let you work through the entire period, you can be eligible to claim unemployment, potentially for much longer than your original notice period. Employers can shoot themselves in the foot by doing this, because, for not letting you work for the full 2 weeks, they could now be on the hook for months of unemployment payments. Keep it in your back pocket for later.
>>34376327people misunderstand what the 2 weeks is for.The 2 weeks is a professional courtesy that you are giving the employer even though you're ready to leave right now. Thats it. If they need the time to shuffle schedule or hire a replacement, 2 weeks is generally considered long enough to accomplish that. but if they don't need the time, then they know you are leaving and have no desire to have you around longer than absolutely necessary for their benefit. Like >>34376975 said, having someone actively planning to leave still in the fold is a liability, they have no proof that your staying won't be malicious or destructive in the process, so why risk it if they don't need you for anything?Yes, this is typical for entry level positions like most jobs in a restaurant.
>>34376327Yeah some jobs/bosses are just faggots like that. You quit and they take it personal so they try to make the last 2 weeks a living hell or they do some whiny bitch shit and cut you before you finish up. Take it on the chin, call him a little bitch for getting upset and move on. He has no power anymore
Two week notices are dead, most people just do fuck all or dick around during their final weeks and managers know that so they'd rather you just leave right then and there.
>>34376327He was being a loser. Make sure your other, less faggy managers are aware he dismissed you and that your shifts are vacant.Likely they’ll tell you “yeah we’re good best of luck on your new place” or they’ll look into it and maybe ask you to work a few extra days to train the replacement.
