But I Warned You Ahead of Time?
I told my boss 2 weeks in advance that I was taking time off on Monday and Tuesday. She approved it no problem. I take the days off and went out of town for a school thing.
I come back into the office on Wednesday and I’m locked out of my account. I talk to the operations manager (my boss’s boss) who was the person who interviewed and hired me to see what’s going on.
He told me that my boss said I disappeared and didn’t contact anybody for 2 days. I explained it to him and he said no problem.
I talk to my boss later in the afternoon and she is furious. Starts saying how I didn’t tell anybody that I was taking time off and thought I just suddenly quit.
I don’t know what she was talking about because I told her 2 weeks ago that I was going to be out those two days and I have the emails to prove it.
At this point I was the only person left on my team of 4 people who were there when I was hired. I was already planning on quitting in next month as I had to move for school.
Then she had the audacity to threaten to fire me. I said, “If you feel like you need to let me go for your mistake, go ahead.” Ended up working there for another 7 weeks before leaving on my terms.
Even got to use the operations manager as a reference for another job.
