Imagine working at a restaurant and putting in your two weeks notice. Would you expect to be treated to all the perks the other employees get for those final two weeks, or would you expect to be treated as if you don’t really work there anymore?
In this story, one bartender is in this situation and was really upset when he was excluded from something fun all the other employees got to enjoy.
Keep reading to see if you think he’s right to be upset or if he’s overreacting.
AITA for being annoyed that my supervisor is singling me out at work after I gave my two weeks resignation notice?
I bartend at a famous fancy restaurant. I recently gave in my two weeks notice because I found a really great office job. The team is fully staffed without me and I’m leaving on great terms.
Last night we had three bartenders on: me, Daniel, Lea.
One of the server captains (server trainer, basically), Michael, came over to the bar where all three of us bartenders were standing together cleaning something and he said “Daniel and Lea can you both come over to the polishing station?” (which is on the other side of the restaurant).
Even though I was standing with them, he blatantly ignored me. Daniel asked why, to which Michael said “I have something for you, and I can’t bring it over here.”
He really missed out!
When they came back, Lea told me that Michael had put a bunch of our menu desserts in the back for all the other servers and bartenders to try.
Daniel and Lea have both tried all the desserts multiple times, so this wasn’t a training thing. Literally all of the other service staff were in the back eating desserts while I stayed out cleaning because I wasn’t invited (and didn’t find out until after or I probably would’ve just shown up, lol).
When I inquired about it, I was told that I had quit so there was no reason I’d be included in these things?!
It is a big deal.
Considering that everyone has had the dessert before, they just gave it to them as a treat and there’s no reason to exclude me from that.
I’m frustrated because if I’m expected to show up my last two weeks and work hard and give 100% effort (which I absolutely have been doing—I did tons of deep cleaning without being asked last night), then why do they get to treat me like crap?
I was upset and told one of the other supervisors as much, to which I was told that I was being rude and it wasn’t a big deal.
Forget two weeks notice. I’d just walk out. If they’re treating him like he doesn’t work there, he might as well not work there.
Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.
I completely agree with this comment.

Here’s a vote for walking away and not coming back.

It really does seem unprofessional.

It has to be good to be out of there!

That’s a horrible way to treat an employee.
