You call to ask me to give up my ONLY shift for the week and say you HOPE I can keep my only shift for next week, 2 days after telling me to my face that I have no future with this company. Yet, you beg me to continue to tolerate this because it's only temporary and I'm so valuable that you don't want to lose me?!

I quit without notice on a job with more pay, paid vacation and paid sick time for less. Why shouldn't I do it again? I DON'T want to leave, but if you leave me no choice, I can't be blamed.

I don't want to think this of you, but the more I think about it, I wonder if you knew taking a vacation wouldn't actually help the situation, but you did it so you could say that and then run while things got rough. If it actually made a diference, I wouldn't be in this position.
