early

it's early!

I woke up at 445 to drop off my store keys to my friend who took my shift.
Starbucks seems to have really been screwing with me...
me of all people.
The guy who has always busted his ass for them.
I guess it's what you get for being the good reliable one.
When you finally move forward into your career with excitement...
they seem to be saying :

"wait.. what day are you starting your new job?
in two weeks? Is that two full scheduled weeks?
No? Two exact weeks...hmm. You need to get your shifts covered...
it's your responsibility. You can give notice but it's up to you..
the schedule is already made... I know it's not posted for you to see yet....
and it wont be for a few more days... but I assure you it is finished..
and you are scheduled to work. Well... you CAN start on the 28th at your new job..
and we'll figure it out.. we're so happy for you...
wait.. it's to ohard to find shifts....we couldn't figure it out.. and now it's your responsibility..
I know you just finished your first day at a new job.. and it's the night before your shift.. but...what?...
you called stores in manhattan and contacted other districts? That's not enough...
it's not the the managers job to get shifts covered...it's yours... for two weeks..
wait... you got a new job? "

Hmmm... interesting.
It seems that two store managers that I know and trust
all seem to think it's ridiculous that I am being told to cover
three shifts that I gave 2 weeks notice on.
They would tell me otherwise... they were like..
call your DM... and that's it. You are not required to be there.
Called my district manager and was like...
i've never not shown up for a shift...
and I have a new job now.. and I told them 2 weeks ago I'd be starting this week...
so .. i wont be at the shifts that never got covered. bye

Congrats!
Congratulations on your new job. :)

Companies can be kind of crappy when employees quit, unfortunately. That just means you're moving on to bigger and better things, though.

Ha!! Sounds like my experience when I left the firm.  Fuck 'em, it's not your problem anymore :)

And you'd be surprised at how infrequently anyone ever checks references, so don't worry about that :)

How's the new job?
