Oh my God all of her videos are so spot on. Some of these are DIRECT quotes. "We're in the middle of..." and being shocked after treating an employee like crap for years that the person has decided not to take it anymore. Despite being very aware they were treating the employee like crap.

[@richardross7219]

Very good. I resigned from a job 40 years ago. I had a terrific boss(Ernie) but, the commute was too far. I told Ernie first thing in the morning. He called his wife and later that morning announced that he was retiring. After lunch, his boss Jack announced that "since Rick and Ernie are leaving, I'm retiring too". Three levels of engineers were gone in one felled swoop.

[@janedoe5877]

Wow why did so many people all resign at once?

[@richardross7219]

@@janedoe5877 I left because the commute was too long and I was falling asleep at the wheel on the ride home. I'd been offered a job much closer to home. Jack and Ernie were in their 60s and had been eligible for retirement. Ernie's wife was ill and it turned out that Jack had cancer. I just triggered the decisions that they made. Good Luck, Rick

[@mreese8764]

You were the linchpin. Lucky that not absolutely everybody anywhere resigned that day.

[@anonydun82fgoog35]

And Boeing has never been the same since...

[@xaviconde]

Wow, now I feel like resigning too.😂

[@charles8601]

"Well that's not going to work, you have a notice period" What? What's gonna happen if I just stop showing up? lmao

[@charles8601]

I'm from the US, people just walk out all the time (in retail and fast food)

[@JobiWan144]

​@@charles8601 Yeah, I think most American states have at-will employment, so any notice period at all is a courtesy, not a requirement.

[@JivanPal]

@charles8061 Employment contracts are standard throughout most of the developed world. The USA is a notable exception. In England, for example, breaching an employment contract is course for seeking compensation for damages through the courts, most likely the Employment Tribunal.

[@pawepluta4883]

@@JobiWan144 We generally know it, but who cares about employment habits in USA when we have emploment law?

[@margiestevens2384]

We use to honor notices, but that was back when the companies honored giving notices. Once giving no notice that a person was being laid off became the normal way companies did business, then many employees started questioning why we were giving companies the courtesy of a notice period when we were leaving.😊

[@ruthjones5557]

My boss was so upset and took it personally that I had handed in my resignation letter while she was on holiday. She didn’t tell anyone that she was taking any holiday not that I think it should matter. She wouldn’t speak to me again, she wouldn’t do my exit interview, and she refused to come to my leaving drinks. I kid you not it was like a child throwing a tantrum.

[@hoyvey]

Haha how can I love this woman but hate her so much at the same time.

[@hopefletcher7420]

I once gave notice to go to a higher paying job and to leave behind a toxic manager. The office RVP offered me a huge raise and a transfer to a different manager. I stayed another 6 years, then our office was closed and moved to TX and I received 52 weeks severence. Those were the days...

[@calvinnickel9995]

The cool thing is that when you hire someone you can immediately read between the lines if someone give them a shitty reference. A lot of things you can tell from the CV/Interview like if they are disorganized or don’t fit in well with others….. but also you can tell if the previous company was awful. A good manager is always open and magnanimous. They usually know that they work for a less desirable company and turnover is simply a cost of doing business if they can’t achieve retention either in compensation or lifestyle. They also often attract workers with less experience and so can pay them less so that’s the flip side of the coin.

[@stickyfox]

I told the new HR guy. "Not even a two week notice tho?" "Look, I don't really know you so I kind of feel like you're a perfect neutral third party. It's why I'm telling you and asking you to pass it on to my supervisor. This isn't the kind of place you quit with a notice." He nodded and said "yeah, I understand. I'll walk you out then."

[@anthonywalker6168]

I like hiring people that have told their previous line managers to f off. Honesty and self respect is more important than people think. A bad reference is the best first impression.

[@Softy372]

Wow I never thought of it like this. I feel nervous about the whole topic of references because of exactly this. I start daydreaming about how my new employer will find out about that f off moment 😂 What kinda business are you in or what kinda people do you hire? I'm wondering if it's an industry thing to be uptight about references 😂

[@phillloyd2519]

Notice? What notice? I’d walk away, change my number and ignore em wait till after pay day though 🤣🤣

[@tinachristine4573]

Quality. New sub. I laughed throughout 😂😂😂

[@theophilus71]

Been tired but a good day just resting on my bed... outof nowhere i saw this n started yapping out loud. Kate youre so funny and hilarious!! xD

[@ThaFuzzwood]

Notice periods should be illegal.

[@thiloreichelt4199]

Why? If things do not work out, the other party has at least some time for preparation. Of, course, I live in Germany, where notice periods are for both sides by law. Just staying home without waiting for the notice period is not a good idea here, at least if you have a qualified job.

[@wmason1961]

I've tried to resign a few times. 35 yars later, and I keep getting sucked back in. Even retiring only helped a little. Every time I quit, they throw just enough more money at me to keep me coming back.

[@captain-poppleton]

Mick Jagger is that you ?

[@icedriver2207]

When places fire you they don't give you a notice. Why do they think you should give them a minimum of 2 weeks notice. (USA here, I know its different in other places)

[@jasonb7394]

Why would an employer request your resignation? They want you gone but they don’t actually have a legitimate reason to fire you? They just treat you poorly and are tired of hearing it from you?

[@JivanPal]

They're playing the game of wanting you gone, but not wanting to pay you severance, which is usually only required if you're fired, not if you voluntarily quit. The general idea is that by making the work environment hellish for you without crossing legal boundaries, you'll be coaxed into quitting, and that the period of time over which this coaxing happens will cost them less than the severance.

[@AlistairBrugsch]

​@@JivanPalAlso known as constructive dismissal. If proven, is also grounds for compensation in the UK

[@user-pb2vo4pt3t]

My boss called me at home after I turned in my letter. He cussed me out, and told me not to return to the property! I had to get an escort just to get my personal items! After all that, he swore it was not a hostile work environment.🙄😒🤦

[@vikramsingha2312]

Good ones!

[@JaneCurtis-vk7fq]

You don’t usually tell where you are headed do you? Or how much $$?

[@WildBikerBill]

Correct. You don't want to make it easy for them to sabotage you. Remember, you're co-workers are not your friends - you don't tell them either, or you may as well tell the company where you are headed.

[@cottoncandiez8872]

In the u.s. they cant give you a bad reference

[@kcanded]

All they can say is 'yes, this guy worked here' and that's it.

[@EricDeWildt]

These videos are all bangers!

[@walterspaceman5592]

It takes 2 months into resigning after you left, 2 MONTHS, to amazingly figure out you were treated BADLY, like plantation help, and you had actually performed many " part the red sea" miracles, and they never once said, " Thanks. ". Best wishes. Did I mention they were rude ? Sometimes they were so weird to you, that you couldn't believe it, your brain went sideways, and literally couldn't remember to speak, but thought, " WOW ! ! ! ".

[@OneFingerYT]

Notices are a politeness if your state is At Will Employment.

[@namastezen3300]

No use getting excited, just business.

[@Hollyberrystreats]

Yes, but tell that to the managers who act like you're breaking up with them, personally...

[@deanj.9324]

Never heard of an exit application.

[@AlistairBrugsch]

Common in larger organizations (in UK at least) not so much at smaller ones.

[@hopefletcher7420]

​@AlistairBrugsch A friend of mine worked at a chaos filled corporation with terrible management at the local level. She quit and in her exit interview told HR how bad it was. She got a call the following week from an ex-coworker who said Home Office HR showed up and did a full blown investigation.
