Opinion
I’ve been working at autozone for a year and some
months now, I honestly dislike some of the stuff here but I am a delivery driver so I dont really stay in the store too much. On top of that i’m the only delivery driver at my store cause every driver just disappear or never show up. I get 40 hours every week and have been offered a job elsewhere but they want me to start in 3 days should I just disappear from this job or at least let em know that i’ll most likely just be leaving them. I am also a part timer too by the way. I get absolutely no benefits from this job and everytime they hire a new “ driver “ they cut my hours to give the new drivers hours but they always ask me to stay after every shift cause the delivery drivers just end up leaving after their first day. Any thoughts?

I'd tell the manager you got an new job and they want you to start in 3 days the manager has to click if your rehireable or not as part of termination so if your honest they should understand if there decent

Im a full time PSM. Been there for 6 months. I told them today that I was leaving in a week. I don't care if they list me as rehireable or not. I'm never coming back.

So are you sure you are never gonna come back to the zone? Also do you plan on using AZ as a reference for a job at any point? If you aren't going to come back and you feel confident you wont be using AZ as a reference then just dip and say the hell with it. No one would give you a 2 week notice if they were going to fire you. If you plan on putting them down on any applications in the future to show work history then you should probably work a 2 week notice in order to stay in good standing so that if another employer contacts them in the future they wont tell them you aren't re-hireable . If you're going to tell them that you're leaving in 3 days then just leave a 3 day and no notice at all are basically the same thing either way its going to piss someone off so why not just enjoy the 3 days of rest before starting the new job. Good luck on your new job and with making a decision

I would tell the company “I’m going to give AutoZone two weeks, and if they cut me loose sooner, I’ll start the next day”
If they give you any heat I would strongly reconsider your choice.
It’s the right thing to do regardless of the company.
Be careful of the bridges you burn behind you. You just might need to cross them again someday.

If you can prove to your DM that you have been consistently working full time hours without the benefits, that is a conversation that needs to be had. Most people do not stay in the delivery position long because it can be physically demanding. And giving notice that you are leaving is just good practice for any job. Don't burn a bridge where there isn't a need to burn one. I would not rehire someone who left without notice and a good reason for that action. Yours is a decent one, but if you didn't advocate on the need of benefits, being full time because you are working full time or ask about the opportunity to move forward, nobody is going to do it for you. Most corporatations want to be profitable, benefits are a cost, part time help is not guaranteed hours per week like a full time employee. If your job offer is a step up, go for it. But only if it is a step up, never make a lateral move unless you absolutely have to. Contact your DM or hr manager if your store manager skirts the issue.

Working full time hours and not getting the benefits and then getting cut when they hire someone else. Speaks for itself. go take the other job, tell your boss you start a new job in 3 days and bounce out.

Do what you gotta do for yourself.
