[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't want this problem down the road. You never know when you'll need to phone in a favor of them even for a reference for licensure or something.  2 weeks is nothing wnd is standard practice.  They sound reasonable.  You dont. Play the long game. [/quote]
This job is entry level and not at all related to my career field. It’s just a job with hours that worked with my school [b]and childcare schedule[/b]. [/quote]

The level of immaturity on this post makes no sense coming from a parent.  It's one thing for a flighty college kid to not care about being fired from Subway, but you're fighting with people about how you shouldn't have to have any awkward feelings going to a job for two more weeks even though you KNOW you did a bad job and deserved to be fired.

Grow up.  Don't act like your job is a favor you're doing for your boss.  You didn't meet expectations, you got fired for cause, and now you think that *you* deserve an explanation for why they're letting you finish the month?  The level of delusion is nuts.

You seem pretty proud that you have "a job lined up" but here's the real secret: if you're a decent employee you don't need to rely on the kindness of family friends for part time work.  You don't get fired for cause.  The labor market is imploding and people like you are going to have a very, very hard time finding even subsistence level employment with a bad work ethic, bad attitude, and inability to take advice that YOU asked for in the first place.

I’m actually unexpectedly fostering my sibling’s child on top of grad school. I’m working mindless jobs to make ends meet while I’m in school. Your judgement over the written text of a person you don’t even know, with zero context, says more about you than it ever will about me. I took this job because the hours worked and the money was decent. I know I wasn’t good at it, I said as much in my OP. I don’t have bad work ethic—I’m focused on school, and my nieces care while she’s in my charge. I don’t have a bad attitude, I’m just tired. And I hear the advice, but I’m wary. But I did come around. [/quote]
