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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. FML
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 got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. 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, 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, 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 gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." 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, after being told two weeks ago that my contract would be renewed, my boss managed to tell me that actually he had other applicants for the job. I will be let go, but he offered me two months extra so I could finish the projects he had me working on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have a feeling you're about to come down with a very nasty flu that will keep you out of work for, oh, about 2 weeks.

I'm pretty sure there are laws about providing a suitable work environment.

This is his chance to be a total dick to his boss/slack off and it wont even matter.

You're leaving the job. Who cares what they think. If the next job has an issue, tell them. You gave notice and were punished for it.

This is the part where you get pissed b/c they didn't give you your stapler back and burn the building down...

Something about red staplers eh!

Don't wait 2 weeks tell him now and get it over with.

#2 then it would look bad on OP to future employers

It wouldn't look bad at all. The two weeks is a courtesy. His boss has shown he doesn't understand that. The risk here is a future employer will call him for a reference, but at this point I can't imagine he would give out a good one regardless.

OSHA requires employers to provide a safe work environment, but they also would (perhaps more so) be protected under various Anti-Retaliation laws.

That sounds a little like brutality and bullshit from your boss to me. I'm very sorry OP..

Just needs a doctor's note to make it valid. Hmmmm?
devildog562 33
Valid or not by the time they ask for it he'll be gone anyhow. Hey it's still flu season.

Now OP can honestly say that a doctor told him that he has the flu.

Working in a cold basement will do that to ya

Generally as per HR exit policies it is not allowed to take leave during notice period for any reason, if done so one may be required to work extra days as per the terms of employment. So OP may have to serve 15 days notice,which may delay his further future plans.

We all know the history of the term "relocation"
