I have to say, she should.  Two weeks notice is there for a reason.  Just as it takes you time to find a new job, she needs a chance to find someone to replace you, and attending scheduled hours is an agreement between the business and its employees.  You were completely wrong to skip out on them.

Yes, actually, she is.

And she probably should. You know how much of an ass you are to do that? That fucks everyone over!

Two weeks! Two week notice!  

I hope you get fired.



no shes not.

Even if your new employer decides to call her, she is not allowed to say anything negative.  She can either say nice things, or simply say that you used to work there. But just because she's technically not allowed doesnt me that she wont.

No, they can say bad things.

Now, it would be libel if she WROTE said things, and made them availably publicly, but shes allowed to say whatever she wants in a private communication.

Face it, you did do a stupid thing, and they have every right to warn your next employer.

Since you already have the job, I highly doubt they will fire you (unless you put or checked that you were a hard worker, in which case they can fire you for lying on your app) but you will probably get watched over a little bit more, and Im sure if you pull the same thing on them, they will also be sure to let any and all future employers know.

at least in California legally all she can do is, IF called, say how long you worked for her and if she would hire you again, that is it. In Cali if she says anything else she is liable.

there is no such thing as a necessary 2 weeks notice

nice people give 2 weeks notice

and if u want them to give nice compliments to your next job, give 2 weeks notice

if its a shit job and you dont care, just stop showing up to make it even worse. lol


lol. yeah. one kid i know quit his jub by calling up 4 hrs before he was supposta show up and said, "ummm, i wont be coming in today. or the next day... or the next... or the next.... soooo, yeah, you could prolly just take me off the schedule for the rest of the week."

If you leave a job, you should try to part on good terms with your boss so you can have them as a referee.
