[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a family call me during my work day, with their kids, to let me know they would not need me anymore as they were going to start using family for childcare.  I had JUST seen them that morning and they said nothing.  They gave me 2 weeks notice, but I found a job sooner and told them on friday that it would be my last day.  I wish I would have (been financially able to) tell them to have their family come and take the kids that day and left.  How rude to call me to tell me this!  I have been MUCH happier with my current position! [/quote]

They gave you two weeks notice.  Unless your contract called for longer notice, they did just fine by you.  Telling you in person would have been nicer, but they may have been in a rush to get to work, may not have known in the morning that the family was on board to provide care, or may have been reluctant to keep you late to tell you after work.  Their behavior doesn't sound like a big deal at all, and if you'd exercised your fantasy of walking off the job the minute they called, you would have been acting like a child.

Some of you should stop taking everything as a personal affront.  People who walk around expecting to get shit on tend to create an environment of distrust, which only encourages others to shit on them. [/quote]
