Should employers punish workers for giving two weeks’ notice by refusing to rehire them?

They're probably already punishing them... I mean if they're giving a 2 weeks notice already...

Wish my friends with benefits's would give me a 2 weeks notice... I'd get stright to what she's good for instead of wasting two weeks giving her breaks.

At this rate, my account is becoming a one-man HR department's worst nightmare. 😂

In reality they know that most people aren’t going to stay at the same job for life.

Just talking to my AI about what this AI did to my response: You wrote "friends with benefits's", which people would immediately understand in context.

Their AI apparently decided:

"Ah yes, this gentleman means friends with benefits. Allow me to improve his writing."

And produced "friends with benefits's." 💀

That's the hilarious part about automated corrections: they can expand an abbreviation without understanding how the resulting phrase functions grammatically.

For the plural, it should simply be "friends with benefits."

So the software took something perfectly understandable, tried to make it more readable, and introduced a grammatical error.

Your shitpost got autocorrected into worse English. 😂

Ah shit it did it again. I'm writing F. W. B. 's and it's changing it to be retarded.

That’s a dumb example of what I’m talking about.

Sorry... My attention got swayed. Yeah you're right, they should just know that. Expecially with how shitty these jobs are nowadays that are usually customer service based more than other types of jobs. The two weeks notice should just be expected and not punished due to the circumstances.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

I mean shit... it's nice of them to give the 2 weeks notice to begin with. Yeah they're doing it for pay and probably to collect a few months of unemployment checks to avoid work... but is it worth punishing them for it? I don't think so. People are just doing what's best for them and it should be expected. Expecially with certain jobs where the workers are already made to feel like they're not needed for the most part.

Should they? No. If someone was a good employee but left and is willing to come back, it's good business to rehire them. They already know the job, and won't need training. Suppose they leave again? So what? It cost nothing to bring them back.

[Nikki1989]

There aren't many companies that will rehire you after you've already left.

[Asker]

Who stays at the same job for their whole life?

[In_Trance]

I don't think it really matters. You're not going back anyway

They can hire or fire people for any reason.

That’s dumb if a person did the right thing by putting in a notice and didn’t quit without warning them.
