[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been following your story from the beginning. So they either found out about your being double employed, or this is actually a place where you have to deliver and not just talk. Maybe both. [/quote]

OP my boss wanted me to throw and catch the ball.

In reality my J2 created this monster.

I wanted to start mid month. But company forced me to start on 1st of month due to HR reason which was a Thursday.

I can’t got without medical. And worried job offer might get pulled.

So I said I start Thursday the 1st. Fill out benefits stuff and give two weeks notice old job the next Monday.

I only find out at orientation one month wait for medical. I was pissed as if actually quit old job be in Cobra for a month.

So I say screw it will wait till First week of October. I then find out medical sucks as big annual annual deductibles. Since October that sucked. So told kids and wife do any medical or medical stuff before I resign. Medical was a lot cheaper but trying to hit deductible that late in year sucked.

Now I find out on probation first 90 days they can fire on spot no severance and insurance ends that day. Unlike other companies they fire a lot in the 90 days.

So now say screw it holding on three months.

Well at this point work slows between thanksgiving and New Years old job so I say what the heck resign after new years.

But then old company looked like I might get laid off in mid Jan. But policy is no severance if already resigned. I did not get let go.

At this point I said March 15 next vesting of prior stock at old company I decided Friday March 17 is last day. I decided I stick with new job. This guy OMG if I quit old job be really really screwed.

He is not American  so maybe he does not realize I lose medical. I don’t get “garden leave” I literally be interviewing as an unemployed person from a short stint job in a time of low unemployment.

It is screwed up as I literally was doing a full days work every day on this job. And I hired 2/3rds of dept to get it fully staffed. Weird firm no pips or even conversations about performance. I think he would have canned me either way.

I will hunker down J1 for next 2-3 weeks then hit the job hunting trail. This time maybe full time in office. Too tempting remote to take second job and too easy to get canned remote. Maybe nice fat cat middle mgt DC job I just have meetings and off sites.
