Give notice today or what until my first day back?
03.07.08 (10:53 am)   [edit]

Okay, I have really had it with my boss. When I went through the interview process, they said that working from home was a benefit with this company. All I was told to do was tell my boss. Nobody said anything about approval being required. And in all the other (2) companies I've worked for, I've just had to tell them I'm working from home.

So, I worked from home yesterday.

Apparently, there was something I was supposed to finish yesterday (news to me...it was on my to-do list but I didn't know it was top priority). Because I didn't do it, my boss accused me of not actually doing work at home and that I was to either take yesterday with no pay or have it as a vacation day.

Never mind that I had given him updates from home on three tasks that I finished.

I am royally pissed off. For him to make accusations without any proof just really makes me mad.

He got HR involved in this as well, so I had a conversation with HR. She said she could see both our points and for me to apologise and tell him my train of thought and submit a vacation request form.

I absolutely CANNOT wait for my exit interview.

So would it be in my favour to quit today or wait until I get back from my vacation? Legally, they cannot fire me while I am on leave, but they can fire me as soon as I return. I was still going to give my last day as April 11.

I'd quit today. But that's me...I'm a bit of a stickler for my principles. This is totally unacceptable. I wish you didn't have so much else going on too or I'd suggest launching a complaint with the labour board. As it stands now, I'd suggest that your boss is setting you up for the same treatment as the previous employee who left. He's planning to dump you the second you give your notice. If you quit, it lets YOU decide to end the relationship. I would feel better about that if it was me.

Whether I quit today or the first day I get back, I am sure my last days in the office will be few. (Thank goodness)
I can give my 2-weeks today and make a statement and give them time to look for someone to replace me -- or I can give my 2 weeks the first day I get back and screw them over a bit.

Hmmm...I'd still be inclined to give notice today so you can sort of forget about them while you take care of your other business. On the other hand I completely understand the desire to screw them over a bit! :)

I'd give notice today because I'd be ticked off too. I'd like to be there for your exit video!

Definitey quit - don't give them any opportunity to fire you - YOU should have the last say on this, not them.
Good luck I'm pulling for you!

Earlier this week I gathered a bunch of fodder for my exit interview. If I have time today I will gather more!

Right now I'm trying to figure out if his treatment towards me has been harassment! I'd like to bring that up as a reason for leaving. Quitting today would be satisfying. Quitting three weeks from now would screw them over, which would also be satisfying! But hmm...which would be the great satisfaction??
