I had a situation once where my sister left a terrible job...her boss was a complete ***. At the last minute she refused to let her take a vacation day to attend my wedding, even though she had put in for it two months in advance and it was approved.

It's happened to me before. Take the money, run, and set up lunch with the folks you wanted to say good bye to. If you haven't moved up the start date on the new position yet, enjoy some downtime.Comment

Congrats on the new job - I'm sure it was the right thing to do.
It sucks how they treated you but sadly that's how HR works...I got laid off 2 years ago after nearly 8 years at the company and they gave me 30 minutes to pack up my personal belongings and leave the building.

When a company shows no loyalty to their employees, how do they ever expect employees to show loyalty to their company? You gave them 13 years of your life and a courtesy exit notice, and they gave you the boot. Nice.
Just curious, what was their reasoning for showing you the door rather than letting you work out your days? Did they give any indication?

I had the new job before I turned in my notice, former positions was at a public gardens in central florida and I really didn't think they would do me like that, I did send my exit interview form home so I could shoot it back to the HR person and President, so they had a nice read. New job is a big step up in pay at a college here in FLA. I cleaned out my stuff last weekend as I thought just maybe they would pull something like this. The department head is very petty and arrogant and my immediate supervisor is incompetent and I am not sure why he is there. He knows nothing about horticulture.

I'm disappointed on how your former place treated you; as a disposable cup. Most place treat their employees that way, unfortunately.
I am happy to hear you're in a better paying position. You deserve it.

As a business owner once an employee tells me they are moving on, I show them the door.
Not because I am a jerk of a boss or a jerk of a person, but once a person has made their mind up to move on, their mind is on their new job and not on the job I am paying them for.
You took a new job for a reason. Move on if you think the grass is greener and be glad they paid your severance.
Your employer owes you nothing more than the salary they paid you for your work. And, it sounds like they did that.
Put yourself in their shoes for a minute and ask yourself if you'd want a disgruntled employee to continue to work for you while they have this other job lined up. Why would I want that person to continue to work for me and tell other employees about their new job and how good it will be and how bad it is here working for me? That is one problem I as an employer do not need.
There are two sides to this story people. I hope I was able to shed light on the side of the employer.
