I don't think my husband could tell a lie if he wanted to lol. Not to someones face. But I love that idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408327 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:42:32 +0000 DpeachLu 408327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go to work then put soap in my eye right before the boss walked in the door and say "I hate to do this but I think I have pink eye and I dont want to infect you all before the holidays"</p> <p>okay. I really hate working. I would rather clean my home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408303 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:31:44 +0000 ladyfingers 408303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Unless I was so sick I was dying, I would stick it out. Like others have said, I just think it's unprofessional and you never know who you're going to run across in the future occupationally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408226 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:57:58 +0000 JoJoGirl 408226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Yes, even if he will have that job for the rest of his life! Burning bridges professionally is always a bad idea, no matter what the circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408222 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:54:54 +0000 blackbird 408222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do it. </p> <p>However, I wouldn't be cleaning the house because HIS friend cleaned. I'd still make him do it, lol. Or owe me big time :P</p> <p>Or maybe I wouldn't care, because boys are gross sometimes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408208 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:51:15 +0000 autumnlove 408208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't call out unless I was really sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408207 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:50:55 +0000 anonysquire 408207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: Lol make his friend clean. I am sure he would love that. My husband gets off work at 10:30pm, and I leave for work at 10pm. So I'll have to sleep sometime during the day tomorrow so I wont be able to clean all day and my husbands friend will be here midnight. So I am not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408200 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:48:21 +0000 wheres_c 408200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Ugh I feel you. His friend = he should clean :)<br /> Does he get to leave early because it's the day before thanksgiving? Can he help after work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408151 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:28:34 +0000 anonysquire 408151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: He's going to start working for my dad. And with his work ethic I know he will stay there for the long haul. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408143 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:24:57 +0000 avivoca 408143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only call off if it was absolutely necessary (i.e. he's vomiting or really sick/you're really sick). You don't want to burn bridges, especially since you never know what could happen with this new job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408138 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:22:19 +0000 anonysquire 408138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: Well looks like I am on cleaning duty.

I wouldn't call out to clean the house. If I was ill or had a death in the family, it would be different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408127 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:14:29 +0000 anonysquire 408127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Even if he will have this other job the rest of his life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408125 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:13:59 +0000 anonysquire 408125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: What if the house is pretty messy? That is enough to make me ill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408121 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:11:29 +0000 JoJoGirl 408121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always best not to burn bridges professionally - that always comes back to haunt you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408117 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:09:39 +0000 Mrsbells 408117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt do it just to clean the house.

He doesn't get personal time? I think calling out sick would look really bad right after giving notice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408111 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:07:42 +0000 anonysquire 408111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: @tororojo: Dang, I guess thats true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408110 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:07:39 +0000 aprk 408110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP. Even if the job is terrible and you don't ever anticipate future encounters, I would do everything to not burn any bridges, as small as they may seem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408109 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:07:36 +0000 Adira 408109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably would go to work (unless I was really sick or something). It just seems like it could be construed as a little unprofessional to not come in during these last two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408107 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:06:36 +0000 tororojo 408107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do it unless I was deathly ill. Even if you don't think you'll need a job as a reference, I think it's best to leave things on as positive a note as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408102 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:04:55 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 408102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it would depend on if I were dependent on the last two weeks paycheck or not. You never know what the company will do in turn (like let you go early) and I wouldn't want to take the chance if I needed the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-in-to-work-during-your-two-week-notice#post-408092 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:02:23 +0000 anonysquire 408092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so my husband has been working with his current company for almost a year now. He just got an amazing job offer with a hefty raise, better health insurance, and 2 minutes from our house as opposed to 30-40. He has worked his butt off at his current job, working like 60 hrs a week and never really calling in except once with food poisioning, and our wedding day (Ya... don't get me started). Anyways, he has Thanksgiving and black friday off, and is putting in his 2 weeks notice today. Would you ever call in during your two weeks notice? I want him to call off tomorrow to help me clean the house for when his friend comes to stay for this weekend. Hes hesitant. </p> <p>Oh and he doesn't need a reference for his current job for the new job. And this new job will be his career for the rest of his life unless he gets maimed or something. </p>
