95% of the time, those people WOULD NOT recommend whatever they did for a living to another person. It got to where I stopped asking.

And yet I bet if they were given the choice again most of them would probably still do it

But what that mouth do?

I might have a job for you ;)

I am in prison and have been trying to get them to walk me out for 5 years now. Have not tried a two week notice. Will do one as soon as I get library time Saturday.

Tuscaloosa?

You an ambulance chaser or a knight for justice?

Typical to lock you out post notice. However, they are required to pay you the two weeks plus any accrued vaca time. If they don't you are in the right line of work and have yourself as your first client! Pretty standard to lock you out as they don't want you to steal clients or take their data. (Should have done that before the notice. Remember for the future, but as I am in Security, we would have figured out what you did and sued you...so in short...best that you just got locked out)

I was your worst nightmare.

I was sys admin over (mainframe/legacy systems) and a network admin (LAN and WAN), and top level ACF (db) administrator. Was also top-level support for print systems, such as maintaining (had personally re-designed) payroll checks, as well as W2's, and kept a very secured emergency copy of comptrollers digitized signature. Was also guy in charge of changing most passwords on system-level accounts, and so much more (since I was everyone's backup for 9-member top level systems support)... was told keep the parking pass and hold onto the company ID because I might want to pick up my last check and say good bye in person.

They were completely caught off guard and potentially so screwed I doubt they ever empower such a security risk ever again (was a many thousand person company). They had inadvertently offered a blanket severance package in conjunction with a reorg and didn't intend for it to happen... can you say goodbye*!!!!



*(7 of 9 did) - I walked back into VP's office to pickup last check in tattered Liberty overall's and he just smiled.

Update: my file access was restored. Think he is going to let me finish out the month. I am wearing jeans and an Auburn shirt to work today. My employer lost $2,000 yesterday by locking me out...but that’s on him.
