Re: no one's talking about 24xx? I transfered from group 32 in San Diego to 24FC. I wanted to move to NYC for a little while and the easiest thing to do was to transfer with the company so I could have a job still. I had NO intentions of staying with the company for more than a couple of months, but it was a way to guarantee a job to start off in NYC. Well, I changed my start date at 24FC in Brooklyn about 3 times, pushing it back further and further because I really didnt want to go back to ERAC after 3 weeks off. Eventually I gave in, I woke up at 5:30am to get a train to ERAC, I was the 2nd one there after my assistant. After 5 hours of driving in Brooklyn (which I have never done up to that point) and dealing with really shady and bitchy customers I went to lunch. Lunch last 1hr 1/2 for me since I went into the bathroom of the local McDonalds, looked myself in the mirror and finally said "fuck this". I went back to the office with the tie off and the sleeves rolled up, wrote an Email to the area manager saying "here is my 2 weeks, well I guess you can say 2 weeks, but in reality I wont be coming in tomorrow". The manager (I forget his name) asked what was up since I took a long lunch and I came back looking like I was ready for happy hour. I went into his office, said thanks for the 5 hours and good luck with ERAC, and then just walked out the door and went home. I had about $4k in the bank to hold me over since I was staying with friends and tossing them a few hundered for the few weeks I was on the couch. Got a new job and am not making millions but at least I am not at ERAC. Needless to say my Area Manager back in San Diego was PISSED. This is due to the fact that he sent me to NYC/Brooklyn with him putting in good words and such. I pushed the start date back by 2 weeks and then I quit 5 hours in on my first day at the office. It fucked his retention since it was before the "90 day" rule with transfers and best of all it made him look terrible in the eyes of the NYC ERAC. But whatever, screw that asshole. |
