No professionally managed company will hire such a person.

She may have legit complaints, or may not, but there is a well established process for grievance.

Having employment has its own responsibilities and sensibilities.

I have seen employees in the US who think that because they can drive, talk endlessly, have a credit card and have sex, they should not be managed or given advice. This case appears to that way.

Such people appear to have the attitude that their jobs are indispensable.

Such people have a lot to learn, and foreign competition, unemployment and hard times may hopefully teach them a lifelong lesson, if they are lucky.

From what I can tell, SkyGrid did nothing wrong. She deserved to be fired for publicly twittering about the company in a negative way.

I’d hire you too man ! Rock on.

Another poster pointed out something that I do not understand and that is people’s fearlessness about revealing personal information in public forums.

BTW there are a heck of a lot of Sara Parkers out there so I’m not sure I would be too worried if I were her. Now if her name was Sernia Voklemieires then I might be worried.

And who gets a severance package after quitting?

It helps that I’ve had a string of really good clients lately though.

If you’re going to get TechCrunched for having a sook about your employer online, at least have the balls to actually spell out what was wrong with them.

In the meantime Sara, welcome to perpetual unemployment.

As a startup I always google all potential employees.
let me tell ya, this woman fucked up big time, I would never hire her, not even to clean the bathrooms.

“By law, if you put in your two weeks notice in writing then the employer is required to at least pay you for those two weeks whether they want you around to work or not.”

I said to myself “really, that’s not what I remember” and in fact, just for the record, it is not accurate. See the State of CA’s Website at: http://www.dir....FAQ_Paydays.htm.

From the FAQ there:

“9. Q. I just gave my employer two weeks advance notice that I was quitting. Instead of letting me work until the date of my resignation, he told me that I was discharged, and instructed me to collect my personal belongings and leave. Upon leaving he gave me a check for all wages earned up through my last hour of work. Am I entitled to be paid for the time that I gave notice? Additionally, when must my final wages be paid?

A. You are not entitled to any wages for the notice period because you did not perform any work during that period. For the purpose of wage payments, your employer changed a quit into a discharge, and all of your earned wages became due and payable immediately at the time he terminated you.”

Perhaps Evan lives in a state that has a different rule, but in California it seems pretty clear that you are not entitled to two weeks severance if you are discharged/fired upon giving notice of your intent to quit.
