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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Take it up with HR. Your boss is a massive turd.

I find it rather stupid how some people are being impulsive by saying just quit right now as if people have the money to quit. You know how hard it is to find a job? Never quit ASAP, always find a job first before quitting because you never know and having job increases your chances.

While I understand where you're coming from, OP must already have been hired for another job If they put in their notice. Even though OP could just stick it through and earn the 2 weeks money, they are just letting OP know that it's reasonable to quit if they're boss is treating them like crap and they can afford to be unemployed for that time period.

I agree with you. However, people are probably just saying, "Quit!" to sympathize with the horrible treatment the boss is doing to the OP. I'm sure the OP can figure out what's the best course of action for him before quitting or deciding whether or not to deal with it just to not burn bridges for future references?

Accidentally hit YDI but you don't deserve it, OP. You're soon to be ex boss sounds like a douche, you're better off, big chief! Best of luck to ya!

They should really let us reverse our YDI's and FYLs in case we mess up

by clicking again you can reverse it right? at least on the mobile app.
Retaheki 27
Sadly, no. I have so many FMLS with both FYL and YDI highlighted because you can't reverse choices.

Jeezus! Keep an eye on your red Swingline Stapler!

I believe you have my stapler.

If you touch my stapler one more time I will burn this place to the ground!

while I seriously understand everyone saying just leave, don't. power through it. a bad reference is all it takes to get prospective employers to turn away from you. Even if you already have a job lined up, your next employer may call two jobs back. you never know. why risk it over 2 weeks?

If he leaves on bad terms, then he obviously wouldn't put them down as a reference. Seems like common sense, to me.

At this point, you owe them nothing. Two weeks is a courtesy you offer the company to buy them time to find a replacement for you. If they refuse to respect you, then you owe them nothing. Start rocking the new life, OP!

To all of you saying he should quit, he can't because if the people that he next interviews for call his old boss to make sure he was a good employee he will say no since he just quit and left

...I'm going to burn down the building...I'm also kind of sad that there only appears to be one other Office Space reference in these comments thus far.

Next time you quit a job, make sure you have some vacation days saved up. This time: I'd not just run out because it might be bad for references, but maybe the cold, clammy basement can give you some health issues for a couple of days?
