I was very good to this company for over a year. Answered phone calls from my boss Josh when I was off duty to help out with break downs and repairs, rarely missed any time off, and worked hard when I was there. I even took on extra duties when the boss was on vacation to cover for him. Most employees that leave screw them over and quit without notice and now I know why.
I was offered a better position at a much higher pay at another company, I was not even looking for work because I was content where I was. I gave my written two week notice and continued to work as usual, the bosses even tried to get me to stay by offering more money and said they were sorry to see me go, also told me if it didn't work out I was welcome to come back.
A few days later when I asked if I needed to do anything to get paid for my EARNED vacation time because I had a week of unused vacation coming to me, I was told "oh you don't get your vacation because you quit" and then when I got upset about it I was told that if I did not like it I could just leave now, so I did. I had every intention of completing the two weeks because I don't like leaving people in a bind. The other mechanic quit 2 days before I gave my notice, but he just handed in his badge and left, no notice, no nothing. I did not want to leave on bad terms and burn any bridges, but management evidently only cares about the all mighty dollar and doesn't have any problem screwing the little guy over.
