Nearly 7 months notice is hard to pull off, Jared. You should have some sympathy for him.

He very recently switched jobs, they wouldn't let him have off.

 

[ChiLAX]

What day do you guys leave?

 

[Mook]

I dont understand this new job cant take off shit. If you had plans long before a new job, they just expect you to blow them off? Honest question. I havent worked for corp america in a long time.

Friday

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I told my work that I take a yearly 3-4 days off for Christmas/New years "break" and they said "sure no problem".

sometimes people are nervous about asking for those days off before they get the job, which is when they typically ask you... which could very well prohibit you from getting said job.

Shit, nevermind then.

Well thats some bullshit. Hey, I had a whopping two days planned for almost a year...mind if I still take those off?

Oooh, sorry, no. Those two days are critical to our survival.

asking for days off the first day in the door, to some people, probably isn't the best way to get into a job.

We just had a lady start 2 months ago, two weeks in to her sentence she took 3 weeks off because it was previously planned vacation.

Guess what? WE SURVIVED WITHOUT HER

 

[Yaj Yak]

im not saying businesses can't survive, we all know of course they can.

im saying some corporations and businesses where they have the whole "martyr mentality" aren't going to hire someone potentially for asking for time off during an interview....

ive been asked that question in the past during an interview "are there any times or days you know you will need off going forward if a position is offered to you here blah blah "

 

[EmersonHart13]

And the answer is yes.

I work to live, I don't live to work... and I want to know the answer to that question before I start wasting my time there.

 

[Yaj Yak]

oh for sure.

desperate times
something something

fuck it i dont know

 

[Chester Copperpot]

It's the way you go about it.

First interview was formal, typical interview.

I didn't mention the days off until they extended an offer and I said "I have had these dates planned every year, that's my only extra stipulation". zero fucks given, got days off.

All about timing BRAH

 

[Yaj Yak]

you also work for a place that seems halfway "cool"

lots of places aren't. while plenty are.

Kinda like that oops wrong hole penetration you like?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

It's gotten me this far in life.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Do they charge me if I cancel?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Not my place to do more than give him shit about it.

It's very easy to let an employer know you already had a vacation or other obligations planned and paid for before accepting a job. A week planned, sure. A month, no.

My last employer forwarded me vacation time even.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I also have all rooms setup and I'm not taking any body as far as I know

 

[Yaj Yak]

forwarded vacation time is fuckin' awesome to pull off.

Its just easier to rip on him because its Allen.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

No idea who he is but by the sound of it he isn't on the board.

So the ripping will continue until morale improves.
