So, I decided to answer the phone and take the trip they kept calling for me to take… and then went back to playing video games. Well, I missed the trip, so now I have 300 missed calls for missing the trip LMAO

I just said, “Sorry, bro, you wouldn’t stop calling a person who already quit. What did you want me to do?”

ETA: I think the term “trip” is being confused. I am a Commercial Truck Driver (this was a Bus Company) so the term is used just like if you were to take a trip to the store; however, I just take people to their destinations, sports event, field trip, etc.

ETA2: Here is more info on why I did this.

Interview:

So, I never applied to this company in the past because I assumed they were only School Bus. However, turned out they had Motorcoach and so I applied for that. I explained all this in the interview and the interview was oriented around doing Motorcoach (we even set up a day for Motorcoach training before I got hired). So, I was under the impression I was going to be hired to do motorcoach as that is what the interview was only talking about (with minimal things about school bus because that would be a “fill in as needed if you do not have 40 hours from coach runs”)

Hire date to now:

So, I get hired and they give me a full-time School route and I ask why I get a school route that is not at worst part-time. They said it is because I would be doing this route until I got qualified for coach runs.

I was working for around 4 months at this point and I still heard nothing about the coach training so I kind of ask what is going on. They say “well, we did not know you still wanted to do this so we kept you on a bus route… and also, we would like you to be on the bus for 12 months before going coach” (note: I have 1.5 years exp in Class A Tractor-Trailer, so I qualified for coach)… Well, obviously that was not what I signed up for so I said I never wanted a bus route unless it was a coach and if I am not able to receive what I interviewed for I will quit and give no notice of doing so because I will not continue with something I did not initially come here for. At this point they say “okay, we will get you trained for coach just give us a couple days”.

Well, those couple days come by… and long gone. I wait around 2 more months. I hear nothing still. So, instead of asking; I gave a resignation effective immediately. At this point they tried saying they do not “do the schedule” so they have no idea when the next training is but they can guarantee by the end of the month if I stay. I ignore them completely and so an hour later they say “hey, I can get you for the 17th if you stay. This will be very unfortunate for the both of us if you quit”. I say “too late at this point, if it has to come to this for training, I do not want to know what else might be hidden as a surprise”.

So, once I officially quit they kept calling me (got like 12 missed calls to do a trip)… and I told the guy I already quit but he wanted me to do it anyway because there was no one to do it and I am not officially off the list yet… so, I say “sure, why not” essentially… And just go back to playing my video games and get those 300 missed calls for “missing the trip” lmao.
