dear company:
I quit. a week and a half ago. I gave my notice, it was pleasant and breezy, you wished me luck, no hard feelings.
but oh wait what’s this? suddenly, you want me to stay LONGER than when I said I was done? oh and you want me available after the fact, just in case you ‘need something’? and best of all, you ‘don’t want to make me feel guilty for leaving you in the lurch like this but….’
listen: i DID NOT leave you in the lurch! I gave you 2 weeks notice. and when I quit, it means I’M in charge. I get to tell YOU when I’m done, not the other way around. bitches.
