Does your company take resignation well?

Yeah, everyone is leaving because they can get an easier job somewhere else and it'll pay more money. Even if the job isn't easier, you at least don't have to deal with people yelling at you all day because you're short staffed.

So how is your boss reaction to the more than gracious 2 week notice?
 
I haven't given a notice yet. The company that is interested in me didn't send me the e-mail when they were suppose to so I didn't get the paperwork to okay my background check and go do my drug test. They called me back yesterday (the lady I talked to last week is apparently on vacation) and I explained to them that I didn't get the e-mail. So, I asked them if it was okay if I come in to do a tour of the place. The last job I interviewed for let me do a tour of the place to see what they do, although I didn't tell them that over the phone. But since they offered to give me a tour of the place, I decided to take them up on that offer and they are going to let me take a tour of the place on Thursday, which is my next day off.

Anyway, I'm making sure that I'm going to like this job before I make the leap and just take it. I don't want to get into a crap job and end up hating it just as much as I don't like my current situation. If I decide I like this one then I'll take it but for now it is just a job offer. When I officially decide to take it, then I'll give my notice. They've been understanding about me wanting to give a notice to my current employer and wanting to make sure I like this job 'cause they noticed that I've been at my current job for 13 years.

sounds like a good place so far, what is the job?
 
It is a place that makes windows. I'm going there tomorrow to do a tour of the place. Over the phone (when I did my interview), they made the job sound really, really easy so I wanted to do a tour of the place so that I could actually see the jobs with my own eyeballs. I did this on purpose because I've had places that have described a job and made it sound really, really easy and the job turns out to not be what they described. I didn't say any of this out loud when I was talking to them on the phone.

I am making sure this is something I want before I give up a job that I've been at for 13 years. I may not like my current job but it's a steady job nonetheless and I don't want to loose it until I'm sure of what I'm jumping into.

Yeah, it was. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be taking this job. The job looks a lot harder than what they described and looks tedious at best. Plus, there is no air conditioning anywhere in the plant. They never mentioned that. It was really hot in there, despite the fact that they have fans blowing everywhere. Also, the job is 10 hours a day Monday thru Friday and another 8 hours a day every other Saturday. So you'd be working 50 to 58 hours each week. I don't mind working but that's not what what described to me during the interview.

I'm going to keep looking though....

If you think that is bad, try working in a bakery factory, my dad did it for years though he was the lucky one who didn't have to stand by the ovens. Mind you, none of these places have A/C.
 
So.......what is the cost of a worker passing out at their work station if it gets too hot?
What is also the cost of people leaving your company because it's too hot and having to continually retrain new individuals because no one wants to stay in that environment?

Not sure now, but pre covid they didn't care, they splash water on you, give you an extra break or find a replacement.
 
True. But I'm sure it would cost more to train a new individual and get them up to speed than it would to retain the existing one though.
