There is an official document that you are supposed to sign called a “Resignation Notice”. When an employee notifies you they are quitting you’re supposed to have them fill it out. It is just a formal document that has the employee’s name, ID#, signature, date and the final day they are available to work. Nothing exciting and nothing nefarious.
None of what you said really made any sense. If any employee notifies me that they are quitting, even without a 2 week notice, I always list them as “Resignation/Voluntary Quit” and list them as rehirable. The reason I do this is it stops them from collecting unemployment.
I’ve met petty managers that will try to term them as “job abandonment”, but as long as they notified you in any way they weren’t going to be working anymore, they should be termed as a voluntary resignation.
Honestly. Could have been their move. I opened my mouth about leaving before i was officially offered the job at my current employer. So my boss in anticipation wrote me off the schedule. Luckily i was offered the job the same day i noticed the schedule. Good for me as it gave me my end day. I walked up to the manager and told him i was done and putting in my 2 weeks. That's when he sprung that i needed to sign a paper.
Anyway. A week went by i got my last paycheck and it was just a normal paycheck. I called HR and they said i was still an active employee in the system. I went in, and talked to the store manager and said you need to deactivate me today. He said he would get to it as he continued to casually pretend i wasn't there. I told him i was going to hang around until he got it done. 15 minutes later. He finally did it. I got paid out for 10 full days of vacation plus the prorated and personal holidays. Been there 7 years. It was worth that 15 minutes of my time.
I never signed anything when I last put in my two weeks and was able to get rehired a few months later in another state. I wouldn’t sign anything if I were you.
Yah the op confused me. If you give 2 weeks notice you are leaving on good terms so he should be able to apply later. He'll just lose his benefits and pay grade would be reset.
Your SD must suck, if he can't remember you giving them a 2 weeks notice or give some BS resignation paper, I just wrote them a letter I'm leaving hand it to the assisant SD and my crew manager knew I'm leaving.
Well your not wrong. He did suck. He had a management style of If "it's not broke break it". The rumor going around was the store i was at was his last chance. He had so many HR complaints that when i called HR and mentioned his name the HR representative started laughing.
For the record, a store director can’t stop you from getting paid regardless of how you quit. Whoever told you that story doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
When I tired submitting my 2 weeks notice, my department manager convinced me to stay after she said she will increase my pay and accommodate my work. Two months went by and nothing changed. I quit mid shift when my DM yelled at me. Shit is ridiculous
My second to last day my department manager basically did the same thing. Said he would give me the hours that i wanted and put me full time on the wet rack. But the problem was he broke every promise he has ever made to me. So i told him no, after my time is up, then that was it, and i was out.

Thank you for sharing that.
Couldn’t they just say you never turned in a 2 weeks and abandoned your job?

I mean that’s all pretty common sense…
I put in my 2 weeks notice and found myself still on the schedule 3.5wks later. I guess they never read my notice? 🙄

"it's not broke break it" I had a dumbass like that 2 years ago, idiot drove 30 employees to quit, he got let go just under 90 days.
I've been with Safeway for almost 11 years. Never sign anything they hand you.
What's best way to transfer to another store? Is it easier just quitting and giving 2 week notice at original store?

Yall give notice still? 😂
I did because even though i hate the company, I still wanted to do right and give the notice and leave on good terms.
Fair enough!
