and good for you, your better off.

no one should be working for a nut job, it isnt worth it.

Now the hard part will be trying to convince them of my side of things...

well, good luck! quitting a terrible job is one of the best feelings in the world, even if it is often immediately replaced by "what do i do now??"

i hope your job search is short!

And I couldn't just show up on Monday for the same cycle,so I took a jump without a net and with all hope if I hustle I'll be able to land something else very soon...

Wow, sounds like you worked for a great employer.

How do you feel right now?

That's true for larger companies with sophisticated HR departments, but a smaller or less professional places might bad mouth someone during a reference call.

The other thing they could say along with your dates of employment is that you are not eligible for rehire, which is not good.

EDIT: Oops, I just read the OPs latest post right after I submitted mine. Best of luck with your new job search.

Agreed and most applications will force you to give your previous work location and supervisor's name. I'd either have a friend call or hire a reference investigator to document what they say about you and if they bad mouth you put together a cease and desist letter and send it to the person bad mouthing you and HR. That will stop it most of the time as most inteligent businesses realize not only is there no benefit to them for giving bad references but it gives them huge exposure to lawsuits.

If only I could have done that while I was there,I know there was definitely alot of bad mouthing!...

Matter of fact,I've not yet heard anything from the email I sent earlier...if I recall the mgr was kind of buddy buddy with the HR person and probably kept them posted this whole time. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to get me to quit!

And of course, if and when that's said it's always assumed that the employee was the guilty party.

The question they may ask is : Would you rehire this person?" If you don't give notice then the answer will be no. Also, it's easier to get a job while you have a job, so get the next job first, give notice, then split a few days early if you must.
