This morning: Not a peep from management about the letter. Email deactivated. Network/computer drive for work deactivated. Timesheet login deactivated. Pay stub login deactivated. Voicemail deactivated. Computer access altogether deactivated.
Around Noon: I managed to get IT (an outside agency to which the company contracted) to reactivate the computer access and email.
Mid-afternoon: Resignation pushed from two weeks to immediately.
OP, if they were that eager to have you leave, be very wary of using them as a reference
I mean, I worked there long enough that I still have to list them as a previous employer. And, typically, HR is limited in what they can convey to an interested employer. So, I'm not overly worried. I made sure specifically that the record would reflect resignation, not termination.
Now, as actual references go, there was a member of management who also left yesterday and with whom I have had excellent rapport (and the only member of management I'd trust). She has welcomed my use of her as a reference in the future.
Last time I resigned from a job I did get tremendous satisfaction telling the supervisor but you did everything correctly.
People give two weeks notice all the time without the company pushing it up two weeks but occasionally, no, they don't want you there if there is an issue.
I'm guessing there's more to this story but it's irrelevant.
In California, since the resignation is effective immediately (even after I had given a 2-week notice), the employer is not mandated to pay the whole two weeks.
As for runswithscissors' guess that there's more to this story, there is. These three posts/references from this thread I created nearly 2 months ago (Giving resignation to HR and not boss: My brief story and why) tell you pretty much the whole story:
◙ Backtrack to Monday: I've been working on a cool team project for about a month. No negative feedback. I've been productive, a happenin' guy even. Things are looking 110% better, and I'm not even getting any sort of negativity about the quality of my work. My teammates love my contributions in particular. But...the boss calls me into her office and threatens to fire me for lack of initiative and productivity. Go figure.
That was Monday. Thursday, I resigned. Friday, I was out.
In California, since the resignation is effective immediately (even after I had given a 2-week notice), the employer is not mandated to pay the whole two weeks.
Well no, of course not. And even if you gave the two weeks they can fire you sooner in a right to work state, especially.
But that's not really the point. People give two weeks all the time and actually even get "going away parties" thrown for them.
LOL you left out the part about them threatening to fire you before you resigned.
But like I said, it was irrelevant to your OP - you did it responsibly.
