Totally agree. That pressure was definitely there in food. They thought they were punishing me when they sent me home early and treating me by keeping me there late. Towards the end I did just enough to not get fired and completely shut down once my two weeks notice was given. I now know that I absolutely should've just walked out in the middle of a busy moment and fucked that boss over at hard as possible, but I thought I was doing something honorable or some shit.
Everybody out there: you don't owe your company or boss a goddamn thing. If you have nothing to actually gain from not burning that bridge, napalm the fuck out of it because they'd do the same thing to you the moment it benefited them to do so.
Years ago, when I gave the boss my resignation letter, she asked me to stay longer than the required two weeks so they would have enough time to train my replacement... I was a sucker who stayed for 4 weeks and didn't even get my last paycheck. I now know this is illegal, but back then I thought if I complained they wouldn't give me a reference and I would be stuck without a job (low self-esteem makes it really easy for others to exploit you).
