Can I Get Fired After Giving My 2 weeks?

well kind of doing my job.

Of course you can get fired.

Yes. At least in Oregon they can because this is an 'at will' employment state. This means that generally, in the absence of a contract or statute to the contrary, Oregon employers may discharge an employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all. Pretty sure NY is an 'at will' state too.

Haha of course you can man. What a stupid fucking question.
*OP gives his two weeks, comes into work the next day and slaps boss, then tells boss he gave his two weeks therefore rules do not apply to him* Shut up man.

After 2 weeks, no. Before that, yes. /thread

They might not fire you but might say you are not rehirable which can be just as bad

I mean not really... you're the only one working basically and you're like the boss of your staff so like... yeah nah I think you'd be good. Just don't be a dick

Putting in your 2 weeks is generally just something you do in order to help out your employer (they can start looking/training a new hire, begin the employee termination process) Youre never required to give them a 2 weeks notice (unless its in terms of employment)

So really, they just made it harder on themselves. Enjoy it, you were leaving anyway.

Douchemeter readings are too damn high.

For the record I would never be coming back here and though it's worth noting that any good reference is a plus, I honestly do t in any way need them as a reference so I don't care.

But I hear ya

They didnt fire me I was just curious. Ive only left 2 jobs since I was 17 and one was on great terms with an a+ reference, the other was gore mtn and if you google their park youll understand how laughable that place was.


I think next winter im going to step away from the parks and groom trails, or just travel and build rails in my spare time. Still excited for this summer but for the northern hemisphere I need a break before I burn out for good and never want to build a park again.

Well at least where I live prospective employers are only allowed to ask two questions about you to former employers. When you worked there and whether you are rehirable.

Bortythe other was gore mtn and if you google their park youll understand how laughable that place was.

that park is a lot better than some others such as Blue Hills.

Google it

I would tell people straight up I left and why. I have nothing to hide. And my resume speaks for itself. It can always get better but im not too worried about things. Also not sure if I even want to work in a park again.

Gore is state owned and funded. They buy a brand new cat every other season have a 4 year old park bully, limitless budget and have had a terrain park for at least 20 years.(Thats when I first skied there)

NY is at will. You can be terminated at any time for any reason so long as it's a legal one.

Ming, what staff lol

The theoretical staff that no longer exists hahahahaha. But seeing as there is no one else, I don't think they would fire him hahaha

He sent me a text saying he was meeting with the owner this morning. No response yet so the only logical conclusion is to assume he's locked in a dungeon. That's about on par with how this place works

Absofuckinglutely.

Let me tell you all a story about how my shithead boss stole $3,500 dollars from me when I did the right thing and put in my two weeks.

A few years back I had an incredible opportunity to travel for 2 months across a few countries but it meant quitting my job to do so. The first 2 weeks were an organized trip so I couldn't move dates around for the first leg. I had a weeks worth of vacation which I was taking for the first week and then after that would be the end of my employment with him. This was a small company, I was actually his first employee. We were friends prior to me working there, not so much after.

I worked as a recruiter so to get paid my bonuses the person you placed had to stay for the guarantee period, usually 90-120 days after their first day. The Friday before I left for my trip was the end of two of my hires guarantee period. If I put in my two weeks, worked em, Id be employed for that date and get my bonus of $3,500. I figured if I gave notice Id still get a good letter of recommendation rather than leaving for my trip and quitting via e-mail while I was abroad.

It was a Friday, bout an hour before closing time, 1 week before my trip and 1 week before the guarantee period was up. I gave in my two weeks that day, he was a bit surprised but understood. We discussed finding a new person and the details of my resignation, I went back to work then left for the day, thinking I'd be in on Monday again. He called me before I even got home, my commute was about 10 minutes, and let me know I had just worked my last day and I could get my stuff Monday. I asked about my bonus, he said I wouldn't get them.

We then spent the next week going back and forth with a few letters from lawyers. In the end I got fucked for doing the right thing and lost out on $3,500.

tldr, I put in my two weeks, had bonuses due if I worked during those two weeks, he fired me that day and wouldn't pay my bonuses.

yeah it seems like that's the norm at my company. people give their two weeks notice, if they're not in the middle of something that needs to be transitioned they're told to pack their shit up and head home.

for a seasonal job where the season is winding down, i can absolutely see them telling you you're done. it's one less person on the payroll for those few weeks when everyone has stopped caring anyways

That is super grimey.


But if you saw this coming and could have averted it by quitting abroad its your fault for trying to 'do the right thing' instead of protecting your neck. He clearly viewed your 3500 bonus as his consolation to losing out on a good employee.


I got fired from both my jobs once for asking for health insurance. Basically I took a new job and was going to keep it from the original one and move around my hours. They didn't let me move them around, I dipped below the required amount, I asked the new job for it and they told me to scram as a probational employee, and the original job took the hours I had remaining because they wanted to give my replacement enough to get health insurance. But I at least knew to milk all my sick pay and vacation pay out of the first job before this shit went down I earned that shit and wasn't going to get stiffed it.

In hindsight, no shit. You would think a personal friend who was your first employee would take care of him on the way out. I just didnt feel right quiting while I was traveling, it was pretty naive of me to think he would respect my two weeks. It was an expensive lesson learned, thats for sure.

Some bosses get super butthurt when people leave or try to leave. My current boss offered to help me put my resume together. Just depends

Also depends on the type of job. Most service sector jobs don't want you there if you have given your two weeks. At my shop, depending on the employee, determines whether or not I keep them on for the two weeks. I have had more problems with slacking and theft after notice given that unless its one of my guys that is heading back to school or such, normally I tell them, thanks but no thanks for the two weeks. I know it sucks, thinking that you'll get a pay check for two more weeks, but I would rather get someone else that is ready and really wants the job.

I managed to break out through the sewer line after digging through a wall with a rock hammer, I left a dummy head I made in my bed and a fake grate to cover the wall where I tunneled out then rafted out from the island to safety.
