My old boss new I had to get a second job to support my daughter and I once my ex walked out. Instead of increasing my hours like I requested originally so I wouldn't have to work two jobs, he cut my hours back until I only worked a 2 hour shifts per week when I started the second one. I complained and he told me to take it up with my new job. I quit on the spot, explained the issue with my second job- he then took my schedule and reworked it so I could have nights off with my daughter and I worked 5 days a week otherwise with lots of available overtime (which helped me out immensely when I could take it!) I didn't regret quitting the first job at all after that!

I'm glad your situation worked out for you in the end, you sound like a great dad. I hope your old boss has his genitals bitten off by a crocodile though as he sounds like a miserable, weak minded, awful person, that uses a position of power he most likely doesn't deserve to drag people down to his scummy level.

I think you got played. Or did you not have a termination agreement?

Mom. And no, I didn't have a termination agreement. They hired me as part time (we had agreed to 35 hours a week so I could be with my daughter and still qualify for state benefits) and technically my state is an "at will" state. They can fire you for no reason and you can claim unemployment that way. If you quit, generally you can't. However to me it was worth taking the chance with the newer job and it paid off in the end! My newer job had benefits, I could take food home for my daughter, and the hours were perfect. I worked there for 5 years until I was able to be a stay at home mom and take care of both of my kids.
