Quitting my job

Gotta love those "Christian" book stores

Ahhhh...you can't really say that...it has nothing to do with that and mostly to do with individual people and their personalities. As is often pointed out here, the founder of their movement didn't wear troosers.

It's just unfortunate for ScotCop that they seem to be setting him up in order to get rid of him.

I know where you're coming from. That ex-major needs to be canned for talking to you like a chump...and for proving with that transvestite comment that he's ignorant and/or prejudiced against people who are proud of their ancestry.

Me and one other guy lost a job because we were military reservists...I was USNR, he was USAR. Two weekends each month the guy was short one man from his crew. Long story short he fired us for it and when we took him to court he changed his tune and instead accused the other guy of stealing a table saw, which we later saw on ebay with his truck in the background. He said I showed up hung over every morning. Funny...I thought you had to drink to have a hangover! We lost. Our word against his? No. Us broke and unemployed guys vs. six figure lawyers. Three of them!

All in all, it doesn't matter what they tell you now if you go to court for illegally terminating you...it's what they say in court, and what's in writing is even more important.

I agree with others here--let them fire you. Usually quitting for anything short of fearing for your life or safety will leave you with no recourse. Plus it makes them feel as if they can do it to the next guy too.

Just my $.02...now I'm broke.

Sounds like "Double, Secret Probation" ala Animal House Speaking of Animal House this "Major's" name wouldn't be Neidermayer would it?

Was that a pledge pin on your kilt!

While "You can't fire me, I quit" may sound good, I agree that I would not quit until:

1. I had a job, or
2. no longer had a job

At least make them pay until the day you have to leave. Also, what was overheard might not be exactly what was said

That would have been my advice, however; Seanmhair beat me to it.

I'll third that motion. I suspect most of us have been in a similar situation at one time or another. Make them explain why they're letting you go.

I call shenanigans on their part!

Only we can do that to our pledges!!


I really hope that this works for the better. This guys sounds like a bear to work for. And I mean for since I don't think he has worked with anyone in a long time, if ever. All the best to you!

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H@ll no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard]
Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the freak happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my a$$ from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: *Let’s do it*!

Now tell me all of you aren't logging into netflix right now to cue up a copy of Animal House

Oh, definitely wait until they 'can' you. That way you should be able to collect unemployment compensation!
