2 Weeks Notice, or Peace Out?

[ZQXC]

Hush I've. You're talking like a responsible adult, NOT living in Mommy's basement.

How do you know he's in mommy's basement.
He might be in mommy's bed.

I got your Gramps, you middle aged friggin cutie.

Whoa....not sure what you're talking about... Mr Medicare recipient...I haven't quite reached middle age yet.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

And what's the motivation to stick it out at ground?

The same thing that posessed him to apply...it's a job..and it beats working at Taco Bell.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

I'm not saying he should not give any notice but there is definitely no motivation to stay. If I were him I would go to apply at UPS put in my notice either way.

Oh brilliant idea. He can't handle it now...apply for a job with even more work involved...lol. The packages aren't any lighter at Brown!

Some would disagree with that statement. To me both are dead end jobs with little pay.

He can't hack a dead end job for a week? Nuff said.

Hey guys, I'm a Fedex Ground package handler, and have been for two weeks. I find it asinine that they want me to load, 3 heavy load trucks in only 4 hours on my first week there. I'm seriously considering quitting, however I don't think I could handle 2 more weeks there. Should I just chunk up the deuces, or should I tough it out and finish the 2 weeks? I don't want to over my co-workers and drivers, but I can't stand it there anymore. Also one of the trucks I load is solely by address, and no one else can load it, how bad would it mess things up?

You're two weeks in. If you quit already it isn't going to matter if you put in your two weeks or not. Your work history will read the same, "Quitter."

OK, dear.....
But your shadow has already, and it's high noon.
Just saying

 

[CJinx]

It is customary to give a two weeks' notice, if only so they can get a replacement training on those trucks that can take over when you leave.

Why don't you ride your rascal scooter down to the Grand Canyon? It's filled with things you don't know about me....just sayin.

 

[MAKAVELI]

There's nothing wrong realizing a job is not for you and finding something better.

....likewise, my unknown qualities would fill the Marianas trench

Agreed...but you don't quit a job without finding another job first. The OP quitting to play WoW in mommy's basement is....not a job.

 

[hypo hanna]

Probably show you the door when you give notice. If they keep you on, you are pulling a paycheck while you find something else. Not like they will be expecting much productivity out of you. Relax and load at your own pace.

 

[ZQXC]

To the OP: Here's a great idea; Go to camp



Boot Camp / You won't even have to think.....

If this person has a family or this was a full time position I would agree with you otherwise you could make use of this time by looking to find something better

The sad thing is is that now days an employer can't ask anything personal in an interview anymore.

 

[CJinx]

You could just not include it on your resume, which is probably a good idea if you decide not to give notice.

 

[STFXG]

True. But you can require work history on an employment application. And if an employer calls fedex to verify employment they will only give the time frame they worked there.
