    Glad I am leaving...today's useless addition to our nanny system, they will be sending location specific weather warning messages...I'm guessing over the Peoplenet... and once again, doing something that is the drivers responsibility...soon they won't even need a smiling chimp behind the wheel...I picture the inflatable "autopilot" from the movie "Airplane" in the drivers seat of Acklie trucks within 5-10 years.

    If I remember correctly you told Shaffer to get you home on a certain day, and then the next day you start orientation at your new company, right?

    If my memory is correct, I have to ask why did you not give yourself anyway leeway from the date of your stated hometime to the start date of your new company?

    Because the whole theme of this thread has been that Shaffer/Crete does not ever do anything right lol. So you should have known that they would probably mess things up with getting you home, probably not out of spite but out of incompetence lol. You had to have seen that coming.

    If I were you I would have told Shaffer to get you home on a certain date and then not started orientation with your new company until 3 days later. If that meant you couldn't give a full 2 weeks notice (or however long you gave them) and instead just gave them a 10 day notice or something, so be it. And that way if Shaffer screwed up and got you home late, you have 3 days leeway. And if they did get you home on time, then you just get a nice 3 day weekend.

    Don't mean to be rude or anything to you in this post. That's just what I would have done. It just doesn't seem smart to me to cut it so close between your get home date and your orientation start date.
