Strange Boss - Last Day on My JOb and He Never Acknowledged I Quit

[Antonia]

I just finished working a 2 week notice. I turned in a written notice that was very nicely worded. I am a registered nurse in a hospital and recently received 2.99 out of a possible 3.0 on my annual evaluation. My boss never acknowledged my quitting with one word. Never a "we hate to see you go" or even a "kiss my foot". He is our unit manager and never talks to any of us unless you're in trouble. I've never had a true conversation with him and this is true of most of my co-workers. It does feel odd to quit and the boss never say one word. Anybody else think this is strange? Now the Director of Nurses did acknowledge my leaving and said if I ever want to come back, please do. But my direct boss - not a word.

Well the way my mom talks about her work as an LPN in a nursing home, NOTHING would surprise me!

It seems strange to me.

He is very anti-social. Just stays in his office with door closed. I have never worked for anyone like him and I have been a nurse for nearly 20 years and have many bosses over the years. I am so looking forward to my new job and hopefully will have a boss who can interact with people. I don't expect a lot from a boss, but this was just weird.

Sounds a little strange to me. I hope your next boss is more personable and friendly

He does sound strange! Good luck with your new job.

Maybe he was afraid he'd start crying?

That doesn't surprise me since it's a hospital. I've seen nurses leave who were going to the hospital "across town." They were asked to leave the same day, forget the two weeks.

I had a boss whos ONLY words to me the on my last day were..... Are you happily married??? This was also a medical office and this doctor had never spoken to me the whole time I was there. I have NO idea where that question came from. He was a married man fooling around with the office manager so maybe he was looking for a replacement?? I have no idea. I gave him the Are you NUTS look and told him YES VERY HAPPILY MARRIED.

Good luck with your new job!!!!
