icecream Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Fed ex & I absolutely hate it. If i may ask a bit advice. I'm going to try and make this is as concise as possible i've had this job for four years + and i've long transcended my breaking point. I live in a small town so there is little to no jobs i've literally been on the lookout every day for the past 3 months . Our center is one of the worst in the country and that it's a well known fact we're understaffed,we need a center of twice the size & it would eliminate %75 of our problems, lack of equipment,communication,WAY too much favoritism,and frankly two terrible bosses that my HR is also well aware of & the companies situation. So like any small company with favoritism and all those other awesome qualities i've mentioned they treat their employees like shit. I feel i don't even really owe them a two week notice after all the bullshit i've been put through. i've thought about contacting the HR guy as i'm moving to columbus and would love to transfer but it doesn't seem possible. I don't want to ruin a very good possible job reference but I guarantee they will want a month & 1/2 notice and they will be assholes regardless.
