Anyone care about me...?

[raceguy246]

Alright, so for the past 6 months I had been trying to get a job with the local power company, ComEd. I wanted this job because in what I was doing for a living, which was taking pictures of cars for an auto group, I couldn't see a future in. I didn't want to sell cars, or manage a dealership, of work on cars for a living... Also ComEd will pay for me to go to school, which is freaking sweet and I'll be earning 150% of what I make now. Anyways I went through all of the steps of submitting my resume, going in for testing, going in for an interview, getting drug tested and such. I got a call saying that they wanted me to work for them, all I had to do was wait for an opening. that was about 1.5 months ago. Finally last monday, the 22nd of September, I get a call and they have an opening in my town. I accept the offer and they say that I start the 13th of October.

Whoo hoo, now I'm excited I'm about to get a really sweet job! But I now have to make a decision as to when to tell my boss that I am quitting. I talked it over with my brother, who is the manager of the Toyota store in the auto group. He thinks that it is best to just tell him that day. I mean there were 3 weeks between that day and the day that I start at ComEd. I figure I'd put my 2 weeks in, and then maybe work some of the third week, or not, and get some time to work on my house and relax. I tell my old boss and all is well, he is happy that I found a good job for myself. I started training my replacement the next day

So at the end of the first week of training my replacement my boss comes to tell me that he doesn't think its necessary for two people to be back in the photo booth and tells me that I didn't need to come in on Monday. At first I am pissed, I cant go 2 weeks without pay... that's bull shit! I mean how the hell am I going to pay my mortgage and my other bills!!! AWWW FUCK!!!

I did some thinking over the weekend about weather or not I should go in on Monday and 'talk' with him about it. I decide in the end not to, I don't wanna fuck up any relationships I have there nor fuck anything up for my brother. I figure I can just sell one of my cars, on craigslist, and it'l all be ok. Plus I can get some much needed work done around the house.

And now I come to the reason that I am writing this post... ComEd called me today and said that they pushed back my start date to the 20th. They did this because the person who is supposed to do the training for me has to be trained at something himself the 13th..... FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!...

Ok so now I must go 3 whole weeks without pay.... and my mortgage was due on the first... Goddammit!.....

Thanks for caring, or not, whatever the case you read this far...

p.s. if anyone lives near me and knows someone who wants to buy a '86 Maxima, all it needs is an exhaust and a right front wheel bearing, lemme know, k? It'd be a perfect winter beater. She has a strong running 3.0 V6

that sucks.

sorry to hear that man. Not sure if you've got one. But out here we have a company called s.o.s staffing the do temp. jobs. Im sure there is somethign like that over there. Try them they might be able to find you something at least to help

If you already have the next job secured, the 2-week rule usually doesn't apply. Usually if you announce you're going somewhere else, they will just let you go anyway, at least in most situations. Unless they absolutely need you that is...

I hope it works out for you.

I feel ya there... When I got a new job SAME EXACT thing happened to me... I don't have big bills to pay like you, but i'm already in huge debt to my parents.. Life's a bitch sometimes...

I was under the impression the 2-week rule was a courtesy thing for the old job. Letting them know you are leaving, giving them time to find a replacement, possibly train them...

I didn't really think that was a 'personal' thing. Like, 'I've decided I'm going to quit, so I'll put in my two weeks THEN start too look for a new job'.

That seems like risky business to me, lol.

at 1.5x the pay every two weeks is like working three weeks at your old job, you'll make up the difference in only 6 weeks at the new job. charge anything extra on a credit card and send all your cash to the mortgage company so you dont fall behind and you'll be good to go in no time.

best of luck on the new job.

[raceguy246]

I know I'll be fine in the long run.... I just really wish it wasnt like this right now...

[2000zx2chik]

Congrats on teh new job that you wanted and sorry to hear about the old one. And yea they are right, Once you actually start working the new job things will fall back into place. I know it sucks for the moment but you just gotta think about the positive!

After reading your thread title....here's my thought.

I personally do not care about you or your troubles. Everyone has them, most get through them.

Take it for what it's worth, I did not read your thread BECAUSE of your title. :cjw:
