Impossible to have a constructive conversation with a liar. Ignored.
On June 11, 2015 I quit my job.
I was always there any time they needed me. Many times I was called at the last minute to fill in for someone who didn't show up. I never complained about it. I just played the game and was reliable and flexible as I could possibly be. I thought it would eventually pay off. After 4 years I asked for a raise to $10 an hour or a fixed schedule at the same rate of pay. They said, "F*** you" but my boss said it in Spanish so it sounded a lot nicer than that.
I put in my two weeks notice and left promptly. Once I got my last check I avoided that place like the plague. Now thy are calling me and wanting me to come back.
Should I tell them to "f*** off" or what? What should I do?
I prefer sitting at home on my butt doing absolutely nothing. I just don't know how to respond to this nonsense. Do they want to pay me more or do they just want to screw me over more?

ARe you bosses JEWISH lol
Those folks are the cheapest MF on earthThat was a long time ago but no. He wasn’t Jewish. He was Indian.

I worked for some indians myself.
The son Ankur was raised in the US and graduated at the top of his class at MIT.
He was actually a pretty cool guy.
The father Ravy could be okay but he was a cheap ************!!!
He brought in a bunch of indians and wanted me to train them. Of course I said not gonna happen.
I'd already watched him **** over other employees,train the new indians and then get shit canned.
Of course it's impossible to train a machinist in 6 months and their work was pure shit and I was the one who had to go back and rework all of their parts or remake them from scratch.
Ankur wanted my advice on how to improve the shop and its 25% scrape rate,a good shop will have around a 5% scrap rate.
I told him it's simple,hire better people and raise the pay rate. Of course that didnt happen and about 6 months ago they had a machine auction and shut the doors for good.
And then you get to pull the Squeeze Play on your current boss.I always found it advisable not to quit until you had a better job lined up
Sorry, you should have offered more while I was working hereAnd then you get to pull the Squeeze Play on your current boss.

Then I wouldn’t have had to look elsewhere
