[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just up and quit a career in November due to my last parent having an acute medical crisis.

I quit only after my new-to-me manager called me at home to berate me for not answering her email from the previous evening (after hours) and demanding that I outline my daily schedule as “she had no idea where I was.” I had been approved for Family Medical Leave and all was outlined on my calendar.

I left this manager natter on and managed to choke out, “I’m making hospice arrangements for my parent today. I’m heading to the hospital. I emailed you and reminded you I’m on leave.” This enraged her and she demanded I see her the next day at 8 a.m. Now crying, I told her that I would not be meeting with her because I was quitting - the most spontaneous decision I’ve ever made in my life. I’m typically a careful planner and an overly cautious person.

Called HR and asked for guidance for resigning without notice. I was advised to simply email HR with an effective date (immediately, the next business day) and if I felt like it, cc my manager. Boom. Done and dusted.

Dropped off my laptop and badge the next day en route to the hospital. No exit interview. Heard zero from the organization not counting g my final paycheck.

My parent lingered for 6 weeks but we had that time together and I was there at the end. No regrets, none. No plans to go back to work. I think I’m retired now.[/quote]

You sound unhinged. I buried both my parents after long illness and I only told work about it when requesting funeral day. My Mom and Dad has a work ethic and would not want kids missing work for them.

One boss threatened to fire me for taking funeral day for Dad. I left my old home number from growing up as my contact and guy called my Mom as she was getting ready to go to funeral home. He said guess he is not lying so won’t fire him. He still docked me two days pay.

My mother then told me I should have went into work that morning and Ben thought Dad died at 8 pm night before.

It’s call work ethic. My one coworker held his status update on 9-12-01 after his son killed in 9/11. Not like skipping meeting is bringing him back. [/quote]

thisis sick and wrong and in many ways what is wrong with America[/quote]

I think that person is a troll. There are a couple of poorly written posts from around the same time that are probably from the same person, possibly from outside the U.S.[/quote]

It reads like the J1 J2 guy.[/quote]

J1 J2 is a fascinating case study.  Seems to be obsessed with workplace shirking, self and others.[/quote]

I don't get why Jeff doesn't just block his IP address. [/quote]

You do realize posters like him bring in the profits. [/quote]
