Angry and relievedlong

LoCarb

Fri is my last day of work at current job. I have 5 sick days to burn or I will lose. I called in sick this past Mondaywent to the gym, ran errands and had a drs appt. A coworker saw me at the gym and told my mgr. In return, I rec'd an email my PTO was not approved.

Side story I offered to buy the team breakfast fri a.m.

Minutes after receiving the PTO email another member of mgmt asked if I could bring in breakfast Thur instead bc my mgr had Fri off and wanted breakfast burritos.

I was pissed and said breakfast was cxld. I'm not buying food for a co. that treats me like sh!t.

I have a drs note for Mondays absence. I arrived to work this a.m. And was told I'm no longer needed. Obviously, the sh!t storm of events and my unprofessional stmt yesterday helped aid this decision. So here I am angry bc I won't be paid for Fri and relieved I no longer work for this co. and can take a long wknd before starting my new job.

I have my exit interview today and list to discuss. Any words of advice?

Honestly, you're reaction was very unprofessional and I don't know that I'd really discuss this issue.

You were dealing w/ two different managers.  Why didn't you go to manager 1 and show him the note before getting pissed?  All he had

Wow, your coworker sure sounds like a petty b.

My advice would be to take 3 deep breaths before you speak. I don't think it's best to say most of what you probably want to say, given the burning bridges idea and all. Not that I wouldn't be

My advice - don't burn your bridges.  Your exit interview covers all of the time you worked there, not just the past few days.

Your coworker is a jackhole.

I would limit the exit interview to the absolutely necessary info.  Not worth burning bridges.

Yeah, be careful in the exit interview.  What you say there is far more likely to hurt you than to impact any of the folks you leave behind.  I understand the temptation, but the time to say your piece was when you were still an active employ

I'm not really see where/how OP acted "unprofessionally" she canceled an "extra" thing - the breakfast because she didn't want to do something special for a bunch of jerks.  She didn't withhold a report and send a company wide email calling her bo

I see asshattery all around.  Your coworker sucks for ratting you out. The manager sucks for taking the rat out as gospel without speaking to you first.  Manager 2 didn't do anything except relay a message from manager 1, who is the asshat who t

I'm siding with your company on this one. It's not cool to quit then take sick days when you're not really sick. Wouldn't you have gotten paid for them if you hadn't used them?

To everyone-thanks for the advice. I opted to do the exit interview over the phone and kept it professional.

Sounds like you already had your interview.  Just wanted to make a suggestion- I would consider sending a farewell email to the group and making it sound positive- thank them for help, support, etc. over the years and how much you've grown, etc. &nbs

Seriously, what kind of snitch do you (almost formerly) work with.  WTF?

I'm not sure how they can fire you without notice or wages in lieu without cause.  Surely not bringing in breakfast one morning cannot be considered cause.

Considering they basically fired you for calling in sick with a Dr. note and for not buying them breakfast burritos... I think you could have laid into them in the exit interview a little.  They are basically looking for dirt on the managers in those
