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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." FML
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, 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 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
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, 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 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, 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, my girlfriend gave me a two week notice for our relationship. FML

I agree with 21 as an employer as well. You got this person trained and you are back to square one if not screwed in the process. 95% of the time that person already has a new job lined up and they shook on it and have committed to themselves they were going to leave so there is nothing you can real say other than sorry to see you go k bye.

What did you expect? Tears? Pleas for you to stay? It's business. You want to move on and they will, too.

Why did you call instead of writing a letter?

What'd you want? For him to cry and beg you to stay?

Would it be better if they were mad at you? Seriously, this is like a best case scenario

Or maybe your boss was so emotionally struck that he didn't know how to respond so he simply said "okie dokie" but what you don't know was that afterwards he grabbed him self some tissues and cried him self to sleep. Shame on you op, shame on you.
