twisted12 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 So I got a new job last week and told my current employer on Saturday. Well when I told them they gave me a guarantee of a certain amount of money. Well when I opened my check of course it wasnt there. Now I am pissed I asked the asshole in charge and he said it would be there next week. I feel like leaving right now my wife is pissed and jobs are tough to come by. Should I give them the week. I have been down this road with these guys before. I should have never stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 did this "raise" fall under that pay period? my best advise for anyone, "don't burn any bridges on your way out" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted12 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Its a grey area if it fell under the pay period he did make it sound like it was effective immediatly. I think I should give it the week but my wife is really pissing me off about this shit. She is saying shit like "you should leave" or " go in there and raise hell" and I am like dont make me go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted12 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I would have to say no on if the other job is still available though I may make a call monday but the odds are slim that it is still therei would give them the week. is the other job still avaliable?

Disclaimer Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I can't say you should never accept a counteroffer from your current employer, but 90% of the time the HR articles I've read said it's bad to stay for numerous reasons.I'm not really surprised your current employer would pull something like that... sad, but true.

twisted12 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 It sucks I think I will give them the week I talked to him and told him I expected the money this week. I guess its a lesson learned but next week there will be no disscusion thanks everyone for your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 It comes down to he's blowin smoke at you or he does not have the authority to make the call or the person he told to do it didn't and he has no clue how accounting works.

balaormiga Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 did this "raise" fall under that pay period? my best advise for anyone, "don't burn any bridges on your way out" Agree 100% Never burn your bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magifesq Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 A couple years ago when there were more jobs than employees, burn that bridge, now that there's 10 people fighting for the job you currently have, I would just recommend treading lightly.
