Richmond_Bills Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 So - I've been working for a small business (literally a single owner and me plus some contract help) since I was laid off from Corporate America at the end of 2008. I've really helped this guy grow his business (revenue increase of 300% since I've joined) and have worked my balls off for literally 1/2 of what I was making as a mid-level manager in my old company. I came across an opportunity, followed through with it was offered the position and accepted an offer for more that what I was making at my previous Corporate job (plus awesome benefits - compared to NONE at my current role). So - dreading the "talk" I went in with a totally positive attitude, gave 4 weeks notice and told him I'd love to continue to help him grow his business and possibly "buy in". Well, the dude went Apeshit. It started off calm, but he said some things that crossed the line, I said some things that crossed the line and it was on. 10 hours later, I still can't believe that it happened and it obviously solidified that I made the correct decision - there were other issues there as well. Just wanted to get this off my chest and see if any of my Bills brothers had any similar stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It started off calm, but he said some things that crossed the line, I said some things that crossed the line and it was on. What'd the guy say to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What'd the guy say to you? He probably touched him in his special place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The guy realizes without you he may be screwed. If you helped him up 300% he should have valued you a lot more. Why 4 weeks? If he is an A-hole, then leave now. you owe him nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have made him feel all funny, and agreed to stay 2 extra weeks if he kept doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Never know. It may have made him feel all funny, and agreed to stay 2 extra weeks if he kept doing it. Yeah, all tingly and stuff. That would be worth sticking around for even without normal benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 After the !@#$stick calmed down I'd start to walk out, stop and the door scratch my head and pull the ole Columbo close. "Ahhh, you know, I've been thinking about what you just said. Let's make that a four day notice. And suck my balls." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 "Ahhh, you know, I've been thinking about what you just said. Let's make that a four day notice. And suck my balls." The first part is Columbo - the second part is Eric Cartman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 After the !@#$stick calmed down I'd start to walk out, stop and the door scratch my head and pull the ole Columbo close. "Ahhh, you know, I've been thinking about what you just said. Let's make that a four day notice. And suck my balls." I'd make it a 4 minute notice; the amount of time it would take to grab my personal crap and walk out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
