Summary
A hotel pastry worker’s reply to a manager challenging her resignation went viral after she cited New York’s at-will employment law to reject any obligation to serve a longer notice period.
In the emails described on TikTok, the manager called her four days’ notice inadequate and said he would start counting a two-week notice from the date she emailed.
The employee said she gave shorter notice because the employer allegedly cut workers’ hours to near zero after they resigned and because her sexual-harassment complaint left her feeling unsafe.
The June 16 TikTok from @georgesternleadership had 579,400 views by publication, but the Daily Dot said it could not independently verify the emails or workplace allegations.
