And yet the also want to overturn Citizens United. It's not that they want companies to take a stand as much as agree with them.

This is the result when you show no loyalty to employees.

Damnit...I was getting over the 40th birthday milestone and now I'm over halfway between then & now being out of that 18-45 demographic.

The sad thing is this was probably an error in the project management software that the company uses, and it probably sent rejection letters to everyone - opening up possible old wounds from a year before

I don’t see any issue with this at all. If you can get a raise from your employer, why wouldn’t you try? Worst they’ll say is no then you know where you stand. If I’m giving my all to a company, exceeding goals and they’re not willing to match what a competing firm values me at, what’s my incentive to stay and continue to put money in their pockets? Gotta watch out for #1 in the end, many companies sure as shite won’t if you don’t yourself.

Good compensation is not the only thing these two generations are looking for in an employer: For them, the company’s mission and culture is a priority.
I agree with this point too. Working in a negative atmosphere with little more for innovation, team building, or making work enjoyable in any way is a drain on a person’s health and mental stability. Better to take slightly less pay short term to be much happier long term, and at a place that values their employees. Too many corporations see people as just a number so they have zero job satisfaction. We work to live, not the other way around.

2-week notice? I’ll give you a to-day notice.

Ghosting is wrong, no doubt.
But if "right to work" means a company can fire you with no warning and no severance, then it also means an employee can quit with no warning.
Ghosting just avoids an unpleasant conversation. That's really the only difference.

I'm too paranoid about needing references to not give a 2 week notice.

This.
The only job I ever quit with no two week notice was my first one at age 15. It was at a produce market and the owner was being and arse. I dropped off a co-worker after lunch and told him to tell the owner I quit.

I regret giving my last job a two week notice. I could have really used the time off.

Sorry, employers, "It's just business".

Same. I got a job as a dishwasher at Sizzler. I had no idea what I was walking into. Worked there for 2 days and never showed back up. frick that job

I have always left 2 weeks, but I really dont get why you should have to. They will fire you and make you leave that day...why should you have to give them 2 weeks?
eta: I did leave a job as a bus boy at carrabbas when I was 16. Pulled into the parking lot and said frick this...all my friends were out partying and it was the last 2 weeks of summer.

A bigger issue going on right now is the unskilled low lifes who work in the fast food places just up and quitting in large numbers. It's that time of the year when they get dem tax refunds/children payments .
They economy is doing well enough that they know when they blow this money they can go find another job very easily.

Same, but worst for me is I left 1 1/2 weeks of vacation on the table because "I was not allowed to use any of my leave once I turned in my 2 weeks notice" per policy, they didn't pay any of it out. I was a little angry as well because I had a 9 month old at home I missed a week and a half with. I should have just ghosted them in hindsight
