Sounds like an angry boss to me. Getting tired of your people leaving you?
Must be a dirt foreman or something. Nothing that takes must smarts with a statement like that.
BTW why did you bother stopping in?

I do commend you on leaving and I have always been a fan of moving on and seemingly burning bridges.Just kinda works out that way some times.
Besides,employers know to weigh a recommendation with a grain of salt. Everyone is different about employees leaving.
But 308 is right,doesn't matter how good you think you were,the water will eventually stop moving and life will go on.
Hey they may need to go nation wide to replace you,but they will and all the ripples will be gone
And good luck at your new job!
It's amazing how many people chimed in with their opinions only knowing OP's side of the story. Please note, he did not want to talk to management when asked by several of his bosses.
I am assuming you are in the IT world? Good luck with your new job, a lot of IT professionals are unemployed, they are dime a dozen.
How is any of this anything that anyone would want to post to a largely anonymous online "community?" Fellas, it's time to log off and interact with breathing, visible, and consequential human beings. Only my self-serving opinion, and yes, I am guilty of reading it and being hypocritical.
why isn't it good for the goose if it's not ok for the ganderIt is common courtesy to give an employer two weeks notice. However, if you have another job to go to then you can give as much or little notice as you wish. Don't burn any bridges if you want to get a letter of recommendation.
An employer doesn't need to give you any notice, they can just let you go.
Hope that this helps!
Spoken like a clueless manager who treats employees like they are a dime a dozen. Apparently you lack reading comprehension, I said I accepted another offer...one out of four. If you really think IT folks are a dime a dozen, and unemployed, you have NO clue what you are talking about. I've haven't heard such an asinine statement in a while.
I declined to speak with management because I've discussed the issues with them twice before. Others have as well. Nothing changed. They threw more money at me. But the reasons I wanted to leave still existed even though they said they would fix them, but never did. So why would I waste more time having them try to talk me into staying? I had already accepted another offer and accepting more money/counter offer, as it turns out, IS the wrong thing to do. I won't ever do it again, because as statistics show, most people end up leaving for the same reasons they wanted to originally, in less than a year after they accept a counter offer.
But go ahead and keep deluding yourself with your 'you will be unemployed you are a dime a dozen' and 'note the OP declined to talk to management' drivel. You have absolutely NO clue what you are talking about. It takes us roughly a year to find qualified candidates for six figure positions. Guess your 'dime a dozen' theory just went out the window. But keep bumping your gums
