Damn conscience...

Let me start off by saying that I am not complaining. I am grateful and I feel lucky to be in the position that I am in. That being said, how do I quit the collections job now that I am in at US Bank? When I found out Monday that the bank wanted to hire me I had JUST completed the drug test for collections. I didn't want to go back day 1 and quit. I have already had 2 weeks off between my old job and getting this one so taking another 2 seems ridiculous. After 5 days of training with the same group, I really like the people. The company is holding me in very high esteem and is planning to put me in a top tier file above 85% of their current employees, as I found out Friday. We sat with other collectors and listened in on calls and I really liked the lady I sat with. I felt bad; like I was wasting her time. My plan was to work out this week and tell them at the end of the week. That way I would get 2 weeks pay (money is tight until my cashed out 401K check comes) and I would not be sitting at home bored. After a week of training I am starting to feel like the right thing is to just tell them I got another job and leave. It feels completely dishonest and deviant to stay there. They are nice people who are super excited to have my expertise. You are probably thinking; well if you like it so much, why not stay there? I don't like it. I hate the idea of 4x4 cubicals. Although I have a very decent base pay, collections are down because of the economy. Bonuses will be far and few between. Benefits aren't great. The trainer is a hot tranny mess who is a card carrying Tea Party member (need I say more?). She actually gave a 30 minute speech on her opinion on the direction of our country. She might be my ticket out. If you let people like that train new employees, what else do you allow to happen? My guilty conscience is what is killing me. I want to leave behind good Karma. This place is known to screw over their employees. They have a terrible track record in the industry which is why I was going to be ok with just quitting them. Everyone keeps telling me that they would not hesitate to cut me off at the knees but I still don't feel right about it. Damn conscience! What is a girl to do?

P.S. Not gonna lie, I am kinda hoping the trainer spouts off again about not everyone deserving the right to marry. 1 more beastiality comment and that will be my ticket out of there! Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

  1. I would tell them tomorrow and ask if they would like your 1 week notice. You have to look out for you, my friend. This bank job sound great for you, so you should leave the collections world behind guilt-free. I can't wait to hear how the bank job is!

  4. Isn't it crazy you lost your job and then within a couple of weeks you have 2 more?! That is awesome if you ask me. I don't think you should feel bad at all, you have to look out for yourself and do what is best for you. Just be honest with them and hold your head high, that can't ask anything more of you then that.
