Job: Restaurant Manager (United States)

I was having some personal problems at home. They started effecting the way I did my job. A couple of times I stated that when I went on vacation, I'm not gonna come back. (Not that I meant it, just tired of the family problems.) My boss heard about it and they were kinda strange actualy. First they acted like they were gonna Fire me, I asked them if they wanted my keys. They got upset because I didn't get more upset. Gave me a few days to think it over. I contacted them and said I think it might be better for all concerned if I go ahead and leave. They treated me like I was trying to screw them over or something. It was their idea! I should have talked to my boss about everything instead of them hearing about from my employees. If you want respect, you have to give it. I found out that this company has a history of being a jerk to people that get tired of their crap. Now they are trying to make sure that I can't further my carreer with the corporation!!! I got proof of my actions/results and progress over time. Told to do this by managers that were quitting when I got started with the company. Always remember to cover your tail. Especially when numerous people tell you the same thing about the operating styles of the company your working for.
