IronBornCorps 02/23/22 10:12:45 AM #1:	I keep getting calls from their recruiters. I scheduled an interview on Friday, since I work from home that day. I'm just not used to this cloak and dagger stuff, as I don't want to tell my current job I'm taking an interview, even if it's just one and I'm not actively looking for another job otherwise. That also being said, fuck my current job. I've been working 50-60 hour weeks, and can never seem to get ahead workload wise. I have 4 different people just drop whatever task they want on me, and all are marked urgent (without talking to each other). Hopefully it works out, this new job could be up to a 25k raise with better benefits based on what the recruiter is telling me. <cite>IronBornCorps posted [p:962892847] in A company ...

Same, but in places that are bad enough that you doubt you'll get a good reference anyway and if you've got a job lined up that doesn't care about your current employer's opinion, I don't see much point in bending over backwards to keep them happy. --- This is my signature.

IronBornCorps 02/23/22 3:11:05 PM #12:	Not super duper concerned about burning bridges btw, honestly if the company I'm at now is still in business in 2025, I will be shocked. The way they are doing things is just unsustainable imo, and they are small (local start up) so it's not like I'm burning bridges at Google or Disney. I told this current employer I was thinking of leaving already anyway, I don't get bank Holidays off, and have even had to come in on my Birthday. They got on me about showing up @9:30 instead of 9, despite I almost always stay until 7. Yeah, this is a bridge I can afford to burn, and it's such a toxic environment they may just terminate me on the spot when I tell them I got another offer. Edit also meant to say poach in title >.> <cite>IronBornCorps posted [p:962901819] in A company ...

They don't deserve two weeks notice when you decide to go. My last employer gave me 5 months notice, LOL. But to be fair, they where required to give 12 weeks notice by law, and wanted to get as much info out of me before I was out the door. And before you ask, the incentive for staying that long was I would get payed an additional 6 months of severance after I was gone, in addition to have benefits for another year after that. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!
