That's it I've had enough......

No its not independent, it should be based totally on how your employer compensates and treats you. You want someone one to bust ass treat them right and make their lives as comfortable financially as the business allows, and you will have a loyal hardworking employee

Quitting a job was about the most fun I ever had. Our boss gave us some lame-ass excuses about changing our pay week, which boiled down to we weren't going to paid for one day that week.

Our boss gave us a big speech about why we needed to rescue the company cash flow. Then he said: "Anyone have any questions?"

I said: "Yeah, are we getting dicked here?"

Big fat dude of a boss and his face turned blood red. Well worth it. Turns out he was embezzling money from the company. Don't sing me the no-money blues after going out and buying a new king cab truck. I'm not blind or stupid and I didn't care if we was twice my size.

I quit on a job in July. I was being disrespected. I put an end to it. I do have a husband and we have a business, so I wasn't destitute. You need to start looking for a new job right away. But, I don't think staying in an abusive situation is good for you at all, HMM.

Learn about tapping. Tapping takes your buttons away. When after tapping for years I am so thankful when some one pushes my button. Cause I didn't know it was their and I don't want it. Button r baggage. Or smoke pot if it isn't dangerous work. Bullies, assess and stupid is very hard to work with and harder to work for. Tapping is also call emotional freedom technique . Like the YouTube vids of faster tapping. It is more effective and faster. U don't even have to know the problem just have the emotion of it.

The fed announced the economy will not get better and Obama announced that all incoming imagrents he will find them jobs. So I would think about a different country if u arnt to tied down, house, wife, kids

Boris the Animal?

What happened to Boris the Cat?

There have been a lot of threads about peeps acting bat shit crazy lately from the solar etc..... Only you can answer this is this your choice or are you feeling "something extra" that is forcing you to be out of normal? Your the one questioning us? You need to find the right answer for you.

I would at least start getting other opportunities lined up... that way, you get twice the satisfaction when you do give them the Bohemian Salute ;P

If u were sending the right messages, like boundaries , don't fuck with me type stuff . People should leave u alone. Alway have a tape recorder ready to record , so u will have evidence. Even when some one is acting like a but have them c u record it. U shouldn't have to live in a world that u have to stand up for yourself... BUT u DO!!!

No, ethics and pride comes from within. It's not about what another or "employer" will do for YOU.

Seriously?

Where do your values come from? If someone gives me what I believe I deserve, I will do the right thing? Sad ethics if you ask me. If you agree to terms when you are hired, then fulfill those terms. If a notice is required before leaving, give notice. It's simple really.

If you care enough to examine yourself, take a look at what you do when no one else is looking. Better yet, what would you do if you knew you would not be caught and no one would ever know what you did? That is when you will discover your true character.

Bull integrity is standing up for yourself. I can't remember how many times I wish I had my ipad or video camera with me. U would b surprised how quickly people straitened up when they r recorded. If asked why the reason is so it won't b their word against theirs in a court of law or nationally on TV

if you can afford to not work for awhile... go for it!

I agree to disagree, but as the saying goes you get what ya pay for, and has no correlation to ones true character or work ethic.

Go find a suga mama first...

I had a job I could not deal with. I began to plot and plan. I got out and had something else lined up. It was a good transition.

The same holds true with relationships, btw. :)

First, figure out what "your life" really means.

Is it having some fun?
Doing some painting or artwork?
Brewing beer?

Heck, I don't know, but first figure out WHY you want to quit the stay there long enough to make them pay for your new tools to get where you want to go.

.

Ask yourself a few questions first.
Do you have employable skills?
Will walking out leave a gaping hole in your resume?
What are the employment opportunities like where you live?
Are you willing and able to relocate if needed?
Are you financially able to just walk away from the job?

And, to answer your question, yes- I have walked away from a job without notice. I was very young, had very few financial responsibilities and I had only been there a few months anyway.

Nobody knows your circumstances better than you.

Yeah, one I will not forget.

Worked at the Toyota Truck plant in San Antonio for 3 months. Good job, but it fukking blowed chunks too.

70% MESKIN, 2/3 OF THEM WERE AS WORTHLESS as the white Millwrights.

Worst bunch was the MESKIN IRON WORKERS.......

Always animosity between Iron Workers and Millwrights.

They want our work but never have the technical expertise to do it.......we can do their work but fall asleep out of mental boredom wrenching the same bolts all day!

Tried to get with one company my whole time there.....

Spent first 2 months figuring out layout that prints had no details for, engineer would not give answers because he didn't have them....always had me doing the brain work and other crews come behind me to copy my fixes....

Whole place was a disaster!!!!

Finally got fired by company vice prez that didn't have the brains to snap a chalk line correctly because i lost pateince with his stupidity and wouldn't teach him everything!!

Such an idiot he was. Atlas out of Kentucky.
I told him off in the parking lot.

Finally got on the 300 ton press with a good company, they made the mistake of putting Iron Worker foreman over me....same deal, I do the thinking, he gets credit.

Treated me with no respect so I walked away from the 300 ton press. Was almost done any ways.

Finally got a call to go to Jim Bridger Coal fired steam turbine in Wyoming for General Electric.

Was happy to leave........Wyoming is beautiful that time of year, February? Early Spring that year too.
30 days there for a regular maintenance of a 250 Megawatt turbine.

One comment about the Mexican workers under me when I was Foreman for one company....before calls of racism!....
I have never seen such little guys work so fuking hard in my life.
Many, many are not worth the cotton in their jeans, just like the rest. But the men under me?

Outstanding men, Iron workers and Millwrights both. Every last one.

This is good advice, the alternative is to have a large stack of cash set aside for bridge financing. I'm in construction all the jobs are crappy and working with/for assholes is standard. Walking out is standard also so I have learned to keep lots of cash around.

I did, once, when I was in my late twenties. Worked for a large food retail chain with a mandatory 50 hour work week, though it was usually more. Had the laziest supervisor above me who would dump EVERYTHING on me. So when I got to my shift, I had to do his share of the work and mine.

Mind you, I had two small children, a wife, a mortgage, etc. at the time. I finally had enough, one night, gave him an ultimatum, which he didn't heed, then I left.

In hindsight, it was an immature and irrational thing to do. But I did learn a very good lesson. Don't ever tell God "No" because He will make sure you understand that it's HIS will, not yours, that will stand.

I wouldn't leave under those conditions, if I were you. Do the right thing and at least give two weeks notice. If you're a believer, pray first.

Take care.

It's not a tough job market. It's theater. People are chosen so that TBTB can test them and watch them. Credentials are necessary in some cases but even then they're not what gets your foot in the door.

Sick, sad world.

A relationship built on betrayal isn't a good idea.

Shit that's easy.

Go home and get at least a fifth of Crown or other decent whiskey. If you have a hollow leg, go for the handle.

Get absolutely blottoed.

Write up a manifesto - try to pace yourself so you can at least make a 10 page diatribe.

Go in the next AM venting drive plasma from every pore, interrupt your director in a meeting, and hurl the thing on the conference table, making sure to impart the appropriate amount of backspin.

Leave. Find another job soon.

That's what I did and it worked great for me.

This is one of the BIGGEST THINGS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.
Edit: Many of the brightest minds and hardest workers are getting screwed out of what work there is.
We do not necessarily need them. They NEED us.
Fukkem, they do not deserve us any more.

You may recall my whining about my own Millwright Union screwing me out of $150,000 worth of work over the last year and a half?

Repair and rebuild of a small 50 Megawatt water turbine

5 fukking miles from home.

Sat and had a beer with the owner of a local restaurant and Marina Saturday night.

Asked him if any of the Millwrights from the dam project ever spent any time in his establishment drinking or for food.

He said they were a worthless bunch of idiot drunks.

But I already knew that. That job is now 6 months past it's scheduled finish date.

A one year job is now at 20 months......

Talk about sukking up some gravy!
$30 an hour. 5 miles from home.

Motherfukkers.

go for it

while i dont like unions.. people need to start standing up for themselves.. dont give me that bull that i should be happy that employer is so gracious to give me a job.

the salary was and should be created to benefit the worker.. i didnt sign up for salary for you to say. well work 50hrs cause your salary.

bussiness needs to understand its a ying and yang.. u want 2 weeks plus from me.. but you can "can" my arse in one day over budget cuts.

but without a job, u cant afford cell phones and internet and facebook.. so you might as well be dead anyways.

::rant off::

First find a new job first.

If your job is a service job or something similar then go for it.

If you are working for a corporation you had better give notice. IF you don't it could follow you and make it that mush more difficult to find a job.

Best of luck.

How old are you? Jobs do that wtf.

My vote... walk. Your life and sanity are more important.

Had a couple of peeps do that & a 3 day notice retirement recently. They just say F-it.
These a production floor employees.
Their rational was, how much notice would they give me?
A loudspeaker page to the office, and a Goon Squad walk out.

It's like a long knives version of musical chairs.
