"We all quit"

[Josh]

It’s sad.
In the past, i spent time helping train my replacement, helping to set things up so there would be a smooth transition.
There are heart issues on all sides.

But, again, Jesus offers His way to all, no matter employer or employee. “rise above.”

Well, yes, that’s how each of us individually should behave.

Collectively, the situation with employers in America is utterly rotten.

[Haystack]

When someone puts in their notice at my place of employment they usually use their sick time for the 2 weeks because the company only pays 25% if you cash it out or 100% if you use it. But generally even if someone sticks around for the last 2 weeks they don't want them working.

[RZehr]

When people put their two weeks notice in where I work, they are allowed to work the two weeks, and after that is up, remain technically employed while they use up their paid time off. Plus get paid any profit sharing that the company generates during that paid time off. And they get all their medical or dental needs done while using up their paid time off.

Would that all employers would do this, RZehr. It’s quite a civilised and Christian process you have.

I'm finding out the hard way how companies that love to flaunt their Anabaptist beginnings can be so ugly towards employees.

You give me hope for humanity RZehr.
But Jesus did not tell His followers to “be good to those who are good to you.”

Jesus said something different, something profound. Something largely forgotten.

When i left my jobs and gave notice, it was in good faith, i helped prepare for those following, i expected to help, and i was paid normally, it was a non-issue. i don’t think this was unusual. i believed it was part of getting a good reference, and i valued that.

i’m really sorry to read about so much discord, everywhere. of course, exploitation by employers is not new! poor employees are not new, either. these are ancient problems.

it is noteworthy, tho, how Jesus made such an impact, one by one, bottom-up. it.was.not.easy.

That’s unbelievably generous, although the net effect is the same as I’m experiencing with my (now former) colleagues - the difference is that you as the employer actually get some advance notice.
