I'm confused. I think I watched the whole episode but all I learned was that she resigned, she was wearing her bathing suit, and then she was given a list of tasks. If I quit my job, I don't continue working for the company for another minute. If they let me go, they would insist on me leaving immediately. In most corporations, it's a security thing. So what's the conclusion to this video? (I preferred Substack without the short awkward videos, TBH)
It is hard to know Bryana. Why? Each company has their own “discharge rules.” Back when corporate America had some class, when I was laid off in the early 1990s, they let me keep my medical and dental for an additional 9 months giving me more time to look for a new job. They gave me 90 days of additional salary. They let me keep my company car for an additional 120 days and reimbursement of gas while I looked for a new gig. The year this happened? 1992. We have come a long way since then haven’t we?
if you didn't give two weeks notice and you leave without doing these tasks, it's on her. If you did give two weeks notice, and you do not get these tasks done before your last day, it will become an excuse to withhold any pending pay and benefits
Obviously, the boss doesn't understand the meaning of the word resignation.
I am the gods’ own socialist. I see capitalism as a cancer. But . . . you kinda gotta give a bit of notice. I understand that this is aggravating, but your boss is accustomed to people giving notice and preparing the way for the next person to do your job.
Look on the bright side, now you know. When you take a job, just remember that when you leave there will be details to clean up.
I get that you at that point no longer feel obligation to the company, but walking out in the middle of the day affects your co-workers and the people who have been relying on your efforts to live their lives and do their work. It is an expectation of civil society that we don’t just walk away from a ladder we are holding while someone is currently working at the top of it.
That said, it sure was easier to do this when the companies we work for cared a bit more about us.
Well since you put it that way, companies should give employees ‘a bit of notice’ before firing them because it impacts other people ie their families. Like ‘don’t just walk away from a ladder they are holding while someone is currently working at the top of ‘💁🏽♀️
Unfortunately, we live in an age where angry employees have been known to attack or kill co-workers and this has led to policies of immediate expulsion from the work place.
I agree! An angry empoyee who decides to get their revenge. It is why I love the movie "Office Space," where the lead character gets hypnotized and doesn't care about his job anymore and Corporate wants to promote him!
Boom! Absolutely! Or just pay a living wage with benefits or universal healthcare. There are lots of opportunities for improvement all the way around. Don’t get me started. I am not the one! 😆
Did you resign on the spot — like no plan to return? Or was she delegating unusual work for you that was outside the scope of your normal duties that might be considered much more difficult to do before you leave? Because that sounds a bit retaliatory in nature. And they could be trying to set you up for a bad reference.
Maybe you should have asked the person straight out why she sent you the list of things to do before you sent your resignation? I’ve been in those situations myself & I’ve asked the person why and the answer I always received was “because I can count on you to do the jobs required”.
Me? I was nice enough to give a 2 week notice, I don’t remember quitting on the spot. It’s not a good look quitting outright but it depends on the situation though.
I agree about the 2 week notice. There are some companies out there that when they discharge you it is on that day, no notice. Very transitional times.
Letting go the same day without notice makes the company look bad when you’re looking for another job. But if you have a position that requires some need for security clearance they do let you go the same day. They should & most do tell the person why they’re being let go, depending on what the reason is maybe you could fight it, but is it worth it?
From some of the articles I have read and the videos I have watched, some of these employees were called by their boss, then they have a 10 minute zoom call and told that as of their “zoom call,” they are fired!

Collapse is when people fall,
they fall together.

30 years- automotive quality. I’m 62- burnt out, tons port time job, not sure about it. Might not be worth my time. I have no idea what’s next.

BS
Good for you Mitch. Wishing you much success.

Incredible.
I agree that’s really bad. Can’t even look them in the eye and fire them, coward.
Did you quit immediately or did you give a 2 week notice? Lol
Some employees just quit no notice.
Just as bad? Major companies like Microsoft and Meta laid off thousands of employees with just a zoom call, no notice to the employees. Incredible.
Wow!
WTF is a nigro❓️
Or are you just dumb, uneducated and mad at your parents for not aborting you ❓️🤔
