17. Finding a Better Job
“Worked as a teller at a bank for a few years, GM and supervisor were both kind of crappy in their own ways. My buddy there was also a teller who felt similarly and wanted to get out. We started applying to places and both got interviews at the same company. As luck would have it, we both got hired and got phone calls about 10 minutes apart.
There was only one other teller aside from us and when it got busy, supervisor usually had to jump in as well (and usually hated it). […] Being down 2 people was the worst.
Naturally when we both got hired, it became a race to see who could turn in their two weeks notice first. He printed his off and raced into GM’s office, walking out with a big smile. GM calls me in and offers me full time hours (after I had been requesting them for months). I jumped in saying ‘Let me stop you right there, I’m also turning in my two weeks notice.’” – Reddit user spikey182
Having a flexible schedule and not needing to work for two is what people want in a job, aside from getting a promotion or better pay.
