I got paid for some time I didn’t work when I left the bank. I told my boss what I was doing, then asked him if he wanted it in writing. He said yes, then I typed it up and gave it to him. They gave me an exit interview a few days later, which was my last day. My last paid day, was 2 weeks from the day I gave notice.
I concur with Jackedup, take out that beguiling sentence, and thank them.
And as for all that blackballing shit, that might have worked back in the 20’s but it aint flying today. I speak from experience, I was a union president at my former job. My new boss got the call that I was a bad apple that he wasn’t allowed to hire. I have worked for him for over 8 years now. You do a good job, and whats expected of you, and that blackballing doesn’t work.
i turned down offers to start early and even job offers all together to give two weeks to the company i was working for at the time… and in both situations i was pissed off enough to want to leave, but not enough to blow them off with a shitty “i quit” letter… i think there is something to be said for people that give the business the ability to realize they are losing a worker and to start the process to hire another.
it is in your best interest to never burn a bridge and to always act professional.
