Thread: I quit my job

  1. #1

    Default I quit my job

    after 4 months of having my pay seriously jacked up I had enough. This time was around a 300 dollar mistake on their part and told me it would take 1 or 2 pay periods to get my money that they owe me. Sorry but that don't work for me so I walked out. I will not work for incompetent people. So if anyone knows of any IT or Communication jobs in the Pueblo or Colorado Springs area I would appreciate it if you let me know.

    I would've walked out, too. I hate people that just assume that they can walk all over you just because they sign your paycheck. If you want a job you can find one.

    I've done the same thing. It sure feels good when you walk out.
    Then it sinks in when you have to hustle to find another job, but it's the principle of the whole thing.

    Seriously, lotta truth there.
    esp the feel good part
    followed by the whole sinking in part.
    still, that's why you always keep some FU money in reserve, so you can always walk away and tell them to FOAD

    good job
    anytime your pay is fouled up and they don't immediately fix it, something is wrong.
