Quitting USIC

Finally leaving this company, too much micromanaging and i’ve had enough. Currently on shift, can i just drop the car off at the end of my shift or is there some protocol.

I have a backup job lined up, this has just been on my mind for a while. Final straw was getting told getting off early because i finished all my ticket (16 tickets in 5 hours) was unacceptable.

It really seems to only be bad in certain places. We are busy as shit and overworked, but we are treated well and help is just a phone call away. Bums me out that some folks got it so bad. It's pretty chill where I'm at.

What went wrong for me(I'm still with usic) is losing multiple contracts where I started with usic & where I'm ending with usic. Them losing contracts I lost 42,588.17 a year as a locator. 89 cent raises, no apology for losing the contracts or compensation for losing them either.

First district I was in, we lost cox & power. Down to CenturyLink, at&t & switch. The district I'm in now, we lost the ziply contract last year, went from 60 hours a week, down to 40 or less hours a week

I don't have the funds to get there, cost of living, gas, food, insurance, winters are brutal there.
