Today, I handed in my 2 weeks notice, since I have to leave for college soon. My boss told me it was fine, then cut all my remaining shifts. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I put in my two-week notice. My boss responded by saying, "Okie dokie" and hanging up. Guess they were glad to be rid of me. FML
Today, I handed my boss my 2 weeks' notice. 20 minutes later, I was doing my work alone in the very cold basement of the building. My boss claimed it was a routine relocation planned months in advance. It's going to be a long 2 weeks. FML
Today, I was offered my dream job. When I gave my current employer my 2+ weeks notice so they'd have time to find a replacement, I was told to pack up and leave immediately. Now I'm out a month's pay because I gave notice instead of just leaving. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML
Today, I gave my boss two weeks notice for me leaving work, as I had received a better job offer with twice the pay. I thought he took it well until I heard him mutter under his breath, "About fucking time." FML
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." FML
Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML
Today, I was informed that- despite an already skeletal staff- my supervisor is leaving the company. Tomorrow. FML
Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a manager who does something similar; if you ask for a week off, she doesn't schedule you the week after that either. It sucks, especially if you need the money, but at least you won't have to work under that kind of management much longer.

Same thing happened to me with my last job. Luckily I was giving my two weeks due to the fact that I got another job though so I didn't need the last shifts. Looking at your username I'm assuming you're not in dire need of those last shifts either so that's good.

This isn't that uncommon. The theory behind it is no one wants an employee who has no incentive to put any effort in since they're leaving. Especially since it has been shown tonhave a contagious effect on the work ethic of other employees causeing a loss in performance across the board.

At my last job, I merely mentioned that I was thinking of going to college and my hours got cut in half. It was several weeks before I put in the official notice. I wasn't happy, but it showed me another side of my boss, so I was glad to get away from there. Good luck, OP.

When I quit my job they cut the majority of my shifts, the reason they didn't cut them all was bc where I worked was understaffed

This happened to me too! My manager was a stupid bitch. I'm sorry you went through that.

That sucks I'm sorry. I don't know about Texas but I do know in a lot of states if you give your notice and then they fire you/lay you off/ cut all your shifts by law they have to pay you. It may be worth checking with the labor board. Good luck and onto better things!

Depending on what kind of job it is, it is fairly standard to let someone go when they give their 2 weeks notice. Typically efficiency drops and rate of injury skyrockets for those with their notice in.

thats pretty common. in that 2 weeks you become a greater liability

It's asked of you to put in a 2 week notice, it's not required of you to do so. You just might not be hired back with that company, that's all

A bit of a welcome to the real world. If you are going to give notice to a company, you better be prepared for immediate termination.
