After retirement i took a pt job in a local hospital which i loved. My work product was impecable, and i did way more than my job description. However when i asked for a raise or tb considered for a more interesting position i repeatedly got denied. I never said no. My last request was to take all my vacation time at once. I covered my workload. Still no. So i gave 2 weeks and resigned my boss said this was highly unprofessional… and he never even said bye. Did i handle this inappropriately

Nope! You did everything right. Your boss was being unreasonable, ungrateful and petty. Do not feel guilty about quitting.

Doing everything you are supposed to do to leave is far from unprofessional. Honestly it sounds like to me they just wanted to keep you where you were and then were upset when you actually made the stand for yourself. Some places are just unfortunately like that. Wishing you a happy next adventure though!

I feel your pain. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my MANY years of being undervalued in a support role, despite doing the work of 3 people, doing 3 different jobs, but with being paid the lowest of the 3, it’s that companies will treat you like a number when it comes to maintaining/increasing their profits. So you gotta do you and it’s usually what your gut tells you. Leaving wasn’t unprofessional… it’s self respect. You know your value and shouldn’t settle for less. Your boss just wanted to give you one last shot to inflate his own ego and feel better, because you were tired of being a doormat for him. Lesson learned… we always need to advocate for ourselves! Best wishes… be well!

I felt really bad because once i gave him my resignation letter, he totally ignored me, then took off my last week without saying goodbye, good luck… nothing! Ok. When he denied my vacay request, maybe i should have waited a day or so before handing him my letter.
When another colleague left, he threw her a nice goodbye party ( and he did nothing but complain about her). He just made me feel like the villian and he was a victim.

I am so sorry to hear this OP. This is the same thing that is happening to me in my current role. I keep asking for a raise and haven't gotten one in two years. I have been looking for a new job for six months now because I am not going to stay somewhere that doesn't give out raises.

You gave 2 weeks notice, that’s far more professionalism and consideration than they showed you.
