In fact, if those people exist — and I realize at this company they may not — you could also just go straight to them and explain you’re resigning to them because boss won’t speak to you. — but if they tell you to leave immediately, that’s their call and you’re not responsible for saving them from themselves.

This Pennsylvania court and other courts of appeals have noted that a reasonable employee will usually explore alternative avenues thoroughly before coming to the conclusion that resignation is the only option. But then you have a papertrail without needing to rely on work resources and policies. I am actually quite close to former coworkers from a hellish workplace and frequently we say “the people at (new job) are fine but nothing like y’all!” Probably bc we’re not needing to cling to them to survive!! You have a voice. OMG yes. Can I Be Disciplined For Arguments Away From Work?

Also, none of what happened is your fault, and as you said, it’s not your responsibility to fix it. Which will in turn give me an earworm every time! I relayed that info to my grand boss at HR’s request and wrapped up all the things my boss requested. You were right about that evaluation – your boss is a poor communicator!

I didn’t build up any documents because nobody asked for them. I’ve seen these letters referred to as “Sir Mix-A-Lot Letters”. An incredible cocktail of denial, pettiness, and desperation. I do worry that some COVID denier will make people I care about sick, and make it harder to access healthcare services. Do you speak with your boss and does she not respond? Luckily I was only there 4 years (as opposed to your decade) and had a job lined up before I jumped ship, but there’s a lot of similarities! I grew up in a stable and loving home and I’ve never experienced significant financial hardship or serious health issues. I quit on a post it on the team calendar. It sounds very possible that your boss will indeed tell you to leave as soon as you give notice, so you should pick your announcement date accordingly. Does the boss know the remaining staff have all been talking about stuff? All good luck. So many ways it could go; begging to stay. It is not your fault or your responsibility if there is a ten-year backlog of that stuff now. I gave two weeks on my former job that pulled this nonsense. Some people just up and decide to be crazy pants, even formerly logical people (and from the description of this guy’s habit of joke firings, logic has always just been a thin veneer here, waiting to break and scratch).

I was going to tell you my boss fired me because he found out I was in a movie. He stopped talking to me after my team leader started trash talking me behind my back. I see above it requires paperwork and tracking, that makes complete sense. The liberating thing about this situation is that no matter what you do, your boss will be mad.

They worked together for three years, and the fire-forged friendship they formed has been so strong, that that’s how *I* met *her*. All of that could be true.

Some exciting things are already coming together, including with former colleagues who also walked out. “Make sure you cc HR if you have it and/or your boss’s boss.” Yes, and if it isn’t explicitly against company policy, be sure to somehow forward or bcc yourself on your non-work email so you have a copy of it! I had a job a couple years ago where I was completely ignored. That night, I read all the AAM posts about preparing to give notice. I want to thank you for bringing this up. Thank you for offering. It’s unlikely that they’ll say “no, you can’t resign until you apologize” — but if they do or if they otherwise refuse to talk to you, then you should say, “Okay, well, please know I’m planning for my last day to be X, and I’ll send this in an email as well so you have a record of it.” (And then do that.) Can my full-time employer tell my part-time job about accusations against me?

This is somewhat of a flashback for me, less time dumped into the job than a decade thank God. I would agree with that. Sometimes men don’t talk simply because they don’t know how to respond. Maybe that’s what OP’s boss is attempting. I could have written OP’s letter. The fact that your boss doesn’t talk with you is not discrimination. It went poorly, but we successfully lobbied to work from home, which we’ve managed to acclimate to beautifully. Anyway, this fucking gigacuck has decided to not talk to me anymore due to a mistake I made yesterday, which I explained in another thread.

Or claim the few hours you worked and realize it got deducted (if you earned 100/week for p/t work, you simply told the UI portal what you earned.). * But I’m seeing a therapist every week and realizing that even if you do everything in your power to make a thing work, that doesn’t mean it will. So the buck stops there. You don’t need a partner’s permission to break up if you want to break up. If the company/department has survived 10+ people leaving already, odds are that this place is a sinking ship. Update below. Her body language suggests she just can’t stand you. I had the same thought – this kind of rapid change in personality really could indicate something medical (at least that’s what the relationship-advice columnists would all say, I think!). Also she’s pretty sure her boss’s business is unethical, if not outright illegal. Your boss sounds terrible. (Do make sure you’re ready for that though — take home personal belongings ahead of time, remove personal files and emails from your work computer, save any contact info you’ll want to have after you’re gone, etc.). It may be awkward. But ultimately, that’s not relevant to how to handle the situation. Too friendly?

It was horribly awkward and I didn’t know what to do, so I gave notice to her boss (I had already went to him about the situation and he was afraid of her..) and she continued ignoring me until I quit. Your benefits or job title changed. My boss refused to come into the office because of COVID, did not give me their phone number, and declined all requests for Zoom or Skype meetings.

Found insideTom: “My boss, Pete, belittles me constantly both when I am alone as well as in front of others. ... Have you tried talking with Pete about your concerns? And have the “official” resignation letter drafted and ready to send (to him, HR, and his boss) during the meeting, should he fly off the handle. Though it’s very frustrating when your coworker doesn’t talk to you but ignoring it could be your best option until her behavior begins to impact on your ability to work. There’s a Seinfeld episode (or two) for everything!! My question is … how the heck do I do it? Found inside – Page 213I knew what my boss was going to ask me, and I knew what he wanted me to say. So why didn't I just say it? What is wrong with me? No use continuing to bail when you really need to get into a life boat. (Make sure you cc HR if you have it and/or your boss’s boss.

Not talking can’t by corrected by silence. He may e-mail me if he has a question. ANY ONE OF THEM could call me and ask for advice at any time. OP’s resigning, and with a boss as toxic as this one I don’t think they expect to use them as a reference anyway. And we’re so close that we’re auntie & uncle to her kids. updates: the barking dog, the fan accounts, and more. OP I’m glad you’re outta there, but interested to know if he’s always been a bit like this, or if this is a massive 180? When he comes into the office, he does not say a thing to me. That headline pops up on occasion. Thank you for the perspective. Good luck to you, OP! That team was really nice (and thought the story of what had happened to me was some of the stupidest management they’d ever heard), and we had a lot of fun. All the people who had to move onto the new style benefits (Universal Credit) will have lost their old top-up benefits (tax credits) and their overall income will drop significantly. I just sang this entire thread to my husband. This is just proving that meme about how your brain “picks” a word based on the first two or three, and last two or three, letters, isn’t it? Adjust your behavior accordingly. That’s almost as good as resigning in cod (and other fish, if I recall). 2. I’ve always been good about saving documentation to protect myself, and this story completely justified that. I’m about to lose my mind with this same awful company.
