I worked for a scrap metal shredding company That had the most power-hungry toxic boss ever. I was hired as maintenance, then found out I was the ONLY one. Was constantly micromanaged by the most pathetic little puke of a man. So I started looking for another job. He called me into his office and wanted to go over a list of project he wanted fabricated that would be easily 3 months of work. I simply told him he needed to prioritize and work on his time management skills, because he had my two weeks. He sat in his chair looking at me like a slack-jawed retard and had nothing to say. For the next two weeks I maliciously complied with his micromanaging which meant a lot of shit broke that shouldn't have but I wasn't allowed to do anything but what he said so thats what he got. On my last day both the welder we had (which I told him was about to blow a motor at any moment) and the backup welder (which he refused to allow me to get properly working as the other one currently ran although burned a quart of oil every two hours) blew up an hour before my shift end with a major project only half completed. I simply grinned like a Cheshire cat and told him unfortunately we no longer have any working machines and he should have the next guy look into that. Got in my truck and drove off laughing my ass off.
@@nickwarner8158 fantastic, fuck that guy Not nearly as cool but my physical location is falling apart because of our scumlord. The ceiling has been leaking for 10 years, to the point there is now a permanent hole over the ceiling where the baby changing station is in the women's room handicap stall, the parking lot is so bumpy that people with wheelchairs can barely navigate it-to the point I have seen a couple of old people thrown face first onto the pavement. 2 of 8 HVAC units are down leading to customers complaining all of the time about the temperature. Our state passed a law mandating we separated trash and recycling and they threatened to evict us for having a second trash receptacle behind our store. Corporate ended up finding a contractor to *haul our trash all the way out of state lines every 2 fucking weeks* so we could be in legal compliance with the state without getting evicted. Absolute fucking bullshit. Well, my company has a process that every few years they reevaluate the location to determine whether we remodel or relocate. My company has certain important guidelines, like they Must be in the same parking lot as a big box store like Walmart, staples, etc. We are in the same shopping center as Walmart but businesses have been evacuating the premesis because the landlord is utter trash, so we're down to 1/2 of the buildings are abandoned and what is left is only us, 1 pharmacy, Walmart, and 2 fast food restaurants. We were up to evaluation against our nearest neighbor store an hour north which I also worked in for 21 months. I was super psyched because I knew there was no way we would lose to them, that store's landlord is actually the nearby speedway and casino and they ACTUALLY maintain the building. Another thing is we make twice their business. We're the biggest grossing store for our company within the next 3 hour drive and our city is only booming in new industry and roads. My dipshit district manager came in the day to start the evaluation with my boss, totally ready to show him what he clearly has known fouyr a few years about how much bullshit our landlord puts us through, but first they look at the books. *That mother fucker ended our evaluation in the first 5 minutes without looking at anything because he said "we have the cheapest rent in the district"* MOTHER FUCKER I stayed angry and 2 months later Covid happens which delayed their plans over our much newer and not collapsing neighbor store. But the icing on this shit cake? *Walmart decided to move.* fucking. Walmart. Is done with this landlord and is going to move exactly where I thought we would, leaving us now with 0 big box stores nearby. We knew their store manager was also in negotiations about remodel or relocate, and even THEY knew to relocate. So we're locked in for the next 5+ years before the next evaluation and I pray nobody is seriously injured as OSHA has been called yet somehow can't do anything for us.. But this company and that district manager deserves all of the lost parasitic business for their bone headed bullshit to prioritize rent cost over *literally everything else.* Seriously, we pay a ridiculous amount for trash depot, how in the FUCK do you blindly make that call?! Anyway corporations are a moral failing and need to be be regulated into the ground or revolted against

I work for a legal 420 store in Canada. When I started, my manager told me, "If someone comes in and tries to rob the place, let them take whatever they want. Get them out as quickly as possible and lock the door behind them. Your life is more valuable than anything they might take from the store." Which should be the policy and literally any and all stores and banks. I would never work somewhere I was expected to needlessly endanger my personal health and safety, and no one else should either.
My friend, that's probably because it was in Canada. Here in the USA sadly, many businesses don't care about that. One of many things Canada does better than us.
That’s any legal ran marijuana store, which is something that should be upheld by most corporations. I’ve always thought it funny how weed stores are basically trend setters for how stores should operate
That used to be the policy in print when I first started working with my very last job I worked at. Giant lettering. Don't stop shoplifters. Leave the register. Let them have it. Please don't risk your life. And then after working there for a while a new policy came out with a new handbook... We'd get a "reward" for stopping armed shoplifters. $5. A measly $5.
I work at Micro Center, similar policy there. Armed robber wants the money in the drawer? Let 'em. It's the store's money, no need to risk your life protecting it. Eh, it's not like I've had to deal with that anyway.
unless the next customer is CCW, one in the chest, one in his buddy's neck (sorry for all the blood, i tend to pull low and to the right--scary dude), wheel man ran (you know, you could have driven away free) across the street into arriving PD. it was over so fast i still had my .357 in its holster. hero-man had a 1911 .45, killed one, critically wounded one, those losers robbed 2 other 7-elevens in the previous 2 hours. talk about going in 3s. i asked Rosie how often they get robbed "oh, only a couple or so times a week, it's like we're an ATM" :o
I was sexually harassed when I worked at Walmart, when I reported it to my team lead he reported me for gossiping. I was pulled into a meeting about it ( which was really a reprimand ) and I quit on the spot.
That's shit. If I see an act of sexual harassment at the Walmart that I work at, I will report it to Ethics first before talking to a manager about it.
What is it with the creepy, dishonest and scummy managers over there in the US? In most of Europe that shit would not fly and they'd get legal consequences.
As a left handed person I gotta say I wouldn't have just merely quit if my boss smacked my hand when they saw me writing left handed. I would press charges for assault and sue for discrimination, see if we could have it charged as a hate crime too
@@timothybarham6374 ikr? How old was that coot? We ain't in the 1930's anymore. Left-handedness has been widely accepted as 'a thing' for literal fucking decades at this point. If someone is still smacking people for writing with their left hand, they have no place in this world anymore.
My boss treated the death of my grandpa as an annoying inconvenience for him. I first had to leave early when my grandpa was in his last hours, but my boss just groaned at suddenly needing a replacement for my shift. When I got back, the same day grandpa died, the very first thing my boss did was lecture me for several minutes about forgetting to wipe the barstools. Any acknowledgement of my grandpa was a brief, "I'm sorry about that," followed by more lecturing. I knew right then that this boss was too toxic to work with. No wonder his place eventually went out of business.
I am a street sweeper before I got my own little area to keep clean I worked in a group. at some point, my back started giving issues so my supervisor gave me the light-duty of trash picking. at one time I was done quicker than them so I asked my supervisor what to do she said 'just go sit in or near the work van' since the van had some expensive equipment I asked what I should do if people came and tried to take the things in the van 'just let them steal it, the city is ensured for that stuff and your health is more worth than some mowers' nothing happened luckily but I do kind of wonder what thieves would have thought if a worker just sits there while they were stealing. 😆
A friend of mine in high school used to work at a fast food restaurant and requested a reduction in hours so he could focus on his homework. His manager said that him flipping burgers was more important than him getting his diploma. He quit on the spot.
My prayers go out to the woman who quit her job because THE MANAGER told her to ignore Child Molestation. we need more people in the world like you, thank you for your Brave sacrifice and sense of Duty.
The worst thing about these stories are the people NOT reporting things to the police / authorities. The best way to get back at your boss is through their wallet, plus you protect all your fellow and future employees.
@P. A. these same people that think cops are superheroes also don’t understand why people distrust them. I chalk it up to privilege to the point of weaponized ignorance. Not that it’s a bad thing to live a nice life, but again, weaponized ignorance means they don’t even bother to think critically when underprivileged complain. I mean, if a person seriously thinks a cop will do something about a manager being a meanie they probably can’t even imagine a cop making fun of a rape victim or shooting an autistic person’s caretaker that has his hands up protecting the autistic person in question from police (Charles Kinsey).
Good luck finding an attorney on contingency (pay if you win). And OSHA, L&I, EEOC are sooo backlogged that if it's not serious injury or death, they won't take action on minor "discriminations" or payroll discrepancies. The whistleblower protection era is broken.
My mom died at 715. I called my job at 730 to tell them and before I could finish saying I'm not coming in for my night shift my manager said that 3 hours was enough time for me to get things done. I said I wasn't coming in, and she said if I don't make it in the next day, she might not have a job for me. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a week later that was over his entire body eating it away. I walked into my work, looked my manager in the eye and said I quit an hour before my night shift. I wasn't going to lose my dad and stress about work. Screw you north Seattle always open fitness club.
I'm sorry for your loss. That's just appalling, inhumane and demonstrates a lack of empathy verging on sociopathy. I hope you're in a better place now?
@@PonderingStudent Thanks, but I knew once my mom died my dad wouldn't last long without her. She was his world. Christmas Eve was her favorite holiday so he died on Dec 23 to be with her. Even had a smile on his lips, so I tell myself he saw her. I could be crazy though. Haha Still looking for a better job after a few set backs, but that's the fun part of life, no? Thanks for the comment!
There is something seriously wrong with your ex manager. What an appalling person. I'm so sorry for all of the hard times and grief you have endured. I'm sure you know you never forget but it does get better.
@@theycallmeashe Truthfully, yes, he saw her... No doubt about it. Not crazy at all. Trust that. My dad died this past May, and my momma woulda been 81 on 12/29/21, so Xmas was her fave, too!🎄 As for that MANGLER, i mean manager, good riddance to bad sewage. The job is great, the mgmt sucks = family comes first, so Imma head on out. Sad how that correlates, but priorities are priorities for a reason. Our parents are resting in peace and would want us all to move forward. Stay Encouraged.👍There are some things we have to learn b4 our next jobs, so if you don't have one yet, don't rush your process... and don't trip about it. You want to go ONLY where you are needed, not where you wished you stayed home to avoid.
My first job as a nurse, The person training me. -who the Head Nurse gushed over just the day before- was fired two hours into my orientation and I was thrown out onto a 30 bed floor by myself. Then I learned that several employees on my floor were going to be suspended for mis treatment of a resident who no longer was there. The Head Nurse told me I would be suspended as well even though I had never known this resident. When I tried to point this out She told me it was “out of her hands”. At the end of my shift I told her I wasn’t returning and she begged me to reconsider but I would still be suspended. I called the State board of nursing the moment I got home and within a few months that facility was closed down for multiple serious violations
@@bostonrailfan2427 Not a lie, Captain Clueless. "Federal regulators order permanent shut down of Fort Myers nursing home with history of violations". And that isn't the only one.
When i worked fastfood -constantly calling me in to show up on all my days off -giving employee month to the lazy employees, while the hard working employees are never acknowledged. I ended up quitting after 3 months of seeing the oldest employee (whom I became good friends with) work diligently and not getting acknowledged. It made me realize there was no possibility of advancement. After I found a better job with better pay and better hours, I contacted my old friend from the restaurant and told him of an open position at my currently workplace. He left the restaurant, which made the manager angry. The guy holding the whole shift is leaving, making her shift actually do their jobs. My friend is happy where we work now.
i love this story. thats why i stop working hard cause people really try to put u down when u r doing their work making life easy but dont want to promote
Two instances come to mind: 1. I got a second job at a vintage/costume store because it was fun. With travel to and from work, I was working there for free. I was fine with that because I had the time/money and loved talking with customers about vintage products. I also enjoyed helping them pick out costumes for events. The owner yelled at me for spending too much time with customers and said that time spent with them was money out of my wallet (I worked hourly). I quit the next day. 2. I worked as a bartender until the owner of the bar took me off to the side and asked me what we should do with all our sexual tension. I was 26 and happily in a relationship. He was 49, married, and believed the moon landing was a hoax. I quit the next day, which happened to be Saint Patrick's day.
I just started a new job about 3 weeks ago. The job is a WFH tech support role. During the interview process I wasn't told the actual internet speed for the job. The first week I was struggling to log in and had to call tech support EVERYDAY. I finally found my loophole on week 2 but still the same internet speed. I have to pay $300 for faster internet in a rural area. I've already planned out my second paycheck to cover this months bills. I'm going to work up to payday to get a $500 paycheck in 2 weeks so I can cover the next month just to be on the safe side. I've already sent out applications and even waiting on my interview for one. Never leave without a plan.
I feel ya on the rural internet speeds, they are absolute garbage and most of the time the company that supplies them don't care because we have no other options.
I've worked for two McDonald's, the first was super pleasant and I loved it to no end, the second however, I quit after 3 days because the managers had written a schedule down on a napkin, didn't hand it to me had a coworker do it, and on my day off on the napkin they called me all upset I didn't show up for my shift, tried to tell me that I was going to be reprimanded for it and I told them I am not taking the fall for their inadequacy in doing their own jobs, there's more but that's the jist of it
@@ReigoVassal It was definitely hostile, that also played a part in why I quit, they changed tunes when I told them I quit though cause I had previous experience and they didn't need to train me to do anything
I worked at Taco Bell when I was 15. The first day I gave the wrong change (handed out a $20) and the customer noticed and gave it back. The person training me saw and told the shift manager when she came in. The SM rudely took me off register and told me to clean the lobby she took my drawer and counted it then after called me to the office to scold me even though my drawer was perfectly balanced I quit because of her attitude on my first day I was NOT taking that
That last story: What the hell? There are plenty of things that can be done about that. It's not like there's a restaurant-customer confidentiality. Just fucking call the cops.
When you're doing a Paid Promotion video for a VPN, you should do it with a Pro-revenge video, so you can tell people how it will keep their tracks clear when they're doing the dirty work of getting revenge and never get caught in the act.

I had a supervisor that threw me under the bus several times. The company has a deal with supervisors that if they kept profits up, they'd get bonuses. His way was to make sure nobody in his department got raises. The final straw was he directly defied the owner & blamed it on me.
I used to work as a server. The job was awful so I found a new one. When I was gonna put my two weeks, the manager asked why I was leaving. I responded all the things that were bad about the job: they paid minimum, expected servers to buy all their tools out of pocket (including extra shirts from the franchise), unreasonable social expectations (we're like a family kinda restaurant), having servers pay for dine-and-dash outta pocket, etc. He responded ''Well don't point fingers at me, I haven't done anything to you ". Because of this I told him I would rather not even do the two weeks, he told me I could work until Sunday. That Sunday was 4th of July, I quit there and then.
I quit my full-time job of nine years last year during the pandemic. At the time, I had two jobs: my full-time job at the used book warehouse (non-essential business) and my part-time job at a grocery store (very much essential business). When the pandemic hit, despite my state's call for non-essential businesses to shutter, the warehouse stayed open due to a legal loophole (claiming it fell under the Transportation Systems Sector as a "warehouse and distribution facility" rather than under the Commercial Sector). I was super uncomfortable working when it felt like I was doing something illegal, and since the grocery store needed all the help they could get, I asked if I could go on leave to pick up more hours there. They seemed cool with it. Two weeks later, I get a phone call from them: "Well, since you aren't ACTUALLY working full time hours here (note: I wouldn't have been able to even if I hadn't taken leave, as they had reduced their operating hours), we're dropping you from the health insurance." In the MIDDLE of a PANDEMIC. So I just quit, got insurance through my part-time job, and now have much less stress. To be fair, this wasn't the only issue I had with my full-time job, but it was definitely the cherry on top of the shit sundae.
The staffing issues, the constant helping other departments due to said staffing issues, trying to get our job done in between helping other departments, never having more than one person in our department due to constantly helping other departments This was at the service desk at Kroger, so we had to take care of bills, money orders, sending and receiving Western Unions. The beginning of the month was super busy, and constantly having to help other departments pissed everyone off
@@McSnezzly Add to that the cost of maintaining an office, as well as paying exorbitant fees for malpractice insurance. No wonder so many dump private offices and go into large group practices at big healthcare facilities.
@@McSnezzly well... come study in a country that values education. I mean a county where education is actually free. Like in most of mainland Europe ;)
So it wasn't me it was my manager an 18 year old girl with no formal manager training, working 18 hour days, sleeping in the office, while pregnant. We finally got help from the head office, who came, made one pizza for himself, went over some paperwork and told her "You need more then a smile to get a raise" I was stood behind him with a knife. She was devasted, she'd been doing the managers job on less then minimum wage for 6 weeks! At Christmas! Me and her peaced out with in a month.
I used to work at a go kart track in a tourist town. We were told if we were ever robbed, we were to log out of our register, take one step back and refuse to do anything the robber said. Nope. Not worth dying over minimum wage.
I was with a company for 1 month. I was a support worker and had to look after 3 different people (at differnt time and days) but one day while taking care of the worst patient (worst being she had the most problems, she was actually an amazing woman) I got a call from my mum crying that she needs to pick me up and go to a hospital 4 hours away where my grandparents live because my granddads in hospital as the cancer has gotten a lot worse and the doctors don't think he'll last the night. I called my manager and they said they're going to send someone over to complete the rest of my shift. Hours later I get a text from my manager asking when I'll be back, I said I didn't know, it could be tomorrow it could be the day after (turns out it was 3 days after, my grandads a fighter) but then he said "so how're you supposed to get all your hours in?" I just said I'm watching my grandad die before my eyes, are you really more concerned about me doing my job than that?? He didn't know what to say but I did. "I quit". He sighed but said okay.
$100 a week, minimum wage working 40 hours a week gives you more. The lowest minimum wage right now is $7.25 an hour. and what do you get at the end of that week. $290. They are trying to pay op what i consider less than livable. I dont even think minimum wage is livable unless you got room-mates.
The bachelor's degree story reminds of when I got a part-time job at Walmart right after I graduated while I looked for a job in my field. "Because you have a degree, your starting wage will be 10 cents higher." Ten cents over minimum wage? How generous of you...
I went to a job interview once. I’ve been working in stores and been waitressing for about 15 years. The dude at the pizzeria was expecting me to work for max 7.5$ an hour. I ended the job interview on the spot. The owner of the pizzeria: surprised pikachu face 😂 Minimum wage in Sweden for that position is normally about $13 an hour
I quit first day working at a dry cleaner because I asked for clarification on something and she called me an idiot and told me that I would never achieve my dreams because I'm too dumb. Well I just graduated with my masters and got an awesome job in a field I love, and in a gorgeous city. My bet is she's still working there.
i used to work at a subway and the managers son was so entitled his mom would allow him free food so he would go grab a cookie i told him he needed to pay for it he responded "die in a pit" thats not the worst once he went behind the counter and made his own sandwich i told him he cant do that he said "i can do what i want" so i handed the manager my apron hat and name tag and left then sent a health inspector they had to shut down
I've taken my fair share of dumps at my old age, and not to be gross, but sometimes it gets a bit messy. but in all my years I've never missed the toilet bowl, how the F do you shit all everything but the toilet bowl...
Maybe the hover and squat? The same person who doesn't want to touch the "nasty toilet seat" doesn't mind spraying their poo all over. Although in this story the poo-spreading was certainly intentional.
Young adult with fragile stomach here. Thank you, I work at a restaraunt, and as a dishwasher, and my friend being the janitor, people are ding dang disgusting. And I have never missed a toilet bowl in my life, Im proud to say. Thank you for not missing the toilet.
I had worked as a showroom sales manager at a place for over six years. When I quit and gave two weeks notice. The boss told me he’d pay me out my 10 days of vacation time. I ended up not working that last day due to a death in my immediate family. I never saw the pay out for those two weeks of vacation, because I didn’t work the entire two weeks. I don’t miss that job or employer one bit. What an awful human being, any excuses to ripe you off.
it was a Monday afternoon and I found out my grandmas condition was dwindling and I told my boss and asked to take Friday off and she insisted that I should leave right then because it was a long trip. I got there late Monday night and Tuesday my grandma told me she loved me for the last time before she couldn’t speak anymore. She passed on Friday. My boss was the reason I got to hear my grandma tell me she loves me for the last time.
I was working as a line cook and the head manager demoted me to dishwasher. He claimed all sorts of false stuff. Then says hold on I need to check in the delivery and then we can talk some more. I look over and see that the slowest dishwasher in the world is working and we are at our busiest. The manager was counting on me to help him because I started their. I just walked out and left them screwed.
It's very common for employers to keep it a secret, make staff work extra hard the week before, then immediately lay them off. It's completely legal too so there's nothing to sue for. Employers arent required to give warnings before layoffs.
@@RiveroftheWither I figured. Just feels wrong. Employee rights are on the decline every year. I hope we can lead a movement to protect employees more from lay offs like this in the future :)
@@RiveroftheWither Actually depending on the number of workers here in the States there are requirements for that sort of thing. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN): "by requiring employers with 100 or more employees (generally not counting those who have worked less than six months in the last 12 months and those who work an average of less than 20 hours a week) to provide *at least 60 calendar days advance* _written notice_ of a plant closing and mass layoff affecting 50 or more employees at a single site of employment."
So when I worked at a grocery store that had just opened it was possibly the best job I ever had. But someone had explosive diarrhea in one of the restrooms and my boss asked us if someone would help them in the bathroom and whoever did it would get an extra 50 at the end of the day. My boss and I both cleaned that bathroom and within an hour it was spotless. That’s how you manage people. Work with the employees.
That Walmart story hit home. I had a manager that was constantly up my butt about getting my area stocked faster. Idiot wanted it done in 4 hours. I worked a full aisle and a half, whilst most worked a half aisle or single aisle. I told him that it wasn't possible due to the sheer amount of product that would need to be restocked and he swore up and down that it was. I looked him dead in the eyes and said "Oh yea? Go ahead and prove it. I'll get it done in 4 hours when I see you do it." This shut him up and he just walked off. I ended up quitting not long afterwards.
I lasted 4 months working Walmart to return to being a security guard locked with mental patients for 2 years; At least I knew the people I worked with were crazy.
That first story is me right now. I’ve been working my butt off this past year, taking on more work not just because of the pandemic but because one of my coworkers was diagnosed with cancer and they needed someone to take on her duties. When a salaried position opened up I was essentially promised the spot, but they said they “needed a few days to get everything ready” and “would I mind taking on some of those duties too” in the meantime. Well, four months have passed since then and nothing. I am now actively looking for another job. So many people have gotten sick of them that there’s been a massive exodus and I’m one of the last in my department. When I quit they’re going to be in real trouble 😈
Exactly! So many unsterilized pieces of equipment, so many ways that it could be fatal to the patient. Our autoclave is like 50 years old and a pain to use. But your going to bet that we fix and load it every day. So many terrible things could happen with unsteril tools.....*shudders*
I worked at a restaurant where a dude came into the mixed bathroom (double doors, conditioned air and shit) and spend half and hour there. He suddenly came out all flustered and asked for toilet paper. Weird, he was the first one to use it since we opened, but ok. After he left, a kid and his mom came in. Stood still for a second and the kid started laughing. There was diarrhea EVERYWHERE, and I mean it. From the toilet to the mirror and the hands dryer. We didn't know how he smeared it on the ceiling. Anyway, the manager closed it for the day, told us to don't even dare touch it and cleaned it herself after we closed for the day. Best manager ever.
It's a good morning when I have rSlash to listen to. I've often wondered if managers who fired or otherwise had employees quit think when they see that employee again and they've become successful. Are they glad for them? Envious? Spiteful? I know I'd definitely go back just to rub it in. Boss - Did you come to beg for your old job back? Me - Hehehe, no. I'm now a successful RUclipsr called rSlash with almost two million subs making X amount of dollars a month. Leaving here and following my dreams was the best thing that could have happened to me. Boss - *Suprise Pikachu face*
"Why would you spend that time to become a doctor and then commit petty crimes?" Because the medical grad with the lowest passing score is still called "doctor".
Rslash...I'm a little disappointed by that transition into talking about the VPN. Not the best taste to go straight from talking about an employee quitting because they found out a kid was being molested and their work was keeping him from reporting it to the cops straight into shilling for express VPN. A word or two might have kept it from being so jarring or not talking about it as the very last story.
Yeah like he had nothing to say about it. I'm sure he was deeply effected by it because he has a child of his own and maybe felt he would bring too much emotion into it, but then why choose the story if he was going to do that? I don't know, whatever his reason, I am still a bit disappointed. 😣
pretty sure recorded the ad read separately then just put the audio on the end of the video. im sure he didnt realize how it came off, he might not have even double checked what story he had ended with. it makes for a really awkward cut but im sure he didnt mean to
My story for quitting on the spot is, I was working at a furniture store warehouse as a forklift operator, it was shitty work but honest work, higher management didn’t care about us employees and they were somewhat abusive to us. I’m also a certified emt, I was looking for a EMT job but most places wouldn’t hire you if you weren’t 21, anyways I got a call from a company I applied to, they wanted to interview me so I went in and they hired me on the spot, so the next day I went to the warehouse, walked up to all the managers told them that yesterday was my last day and I quit, you could hear a pen drop when I said that in front of the 5 supervisors for a few seconds. I walked out a very happy person and they had to deal with missing an operator that could pick maybe 200-300 pieces of furniture per day, it was a great day for me, I then went on to quitting that ambulance company on the spot a few months later.
I only ever quit one job, I was a night shift worker at a gas station and the final straw was when I was sick and told that I couldn't take the day off. Me, needing the money, stupidly came in. About halfway into work I found myself laying on the floor behind the register as I couldn't breath and was sweating profusely(there was no one else there.) Next schedule comes up and my boss didn't put me on at all for the week for my 'unprofessional behavior' and in that week I got a new job and put in my two weeks.
Worked as a highly qualified aerospace engineer for a very large, multinational company. I was seconded from Engineering to the Marketing Department to head up a large (very technical) bid in a foreign country. Eventually secured the largest order for a new aircraft type the company had ever received. Returned home to find that I had 'fallen through the cracks' for the annual pay rise. Each department blaming the other but "never mind, we'll sort it out next year". I handed in my notice that day. Last I heard they were in a flat panic as the new customer was stipulating they wanted me as Chief Engineer on their project and wanted to know why I wasn't available.
That story about the Romanian manager who didn't want to call the police had me nervous, but then he mentioned the units coming in and it put a big smile on my face.
My husband got held up at gunpoint while working nights at a famous chain of convenience stores. He did exactly what he was told to do in the situation, which was giving the guy the money and not fighting back. However, he was so terrified that he couldn’t get the cash register open, and the guy started freaking out and yelling to hurry up. My husband got the drawer open and gave the thief the money. The thief ran and my husband called the police. The guy got caught and arrested, but he made bail. HOWEVER, someone reported that the thief had been making threats about coming back to the store to kill my husband for calling the cops. The manager was an idiot and super lazy and entitled, and she didn’t tell my husband about these threats so that she wouldn’t have to cover his shift. Needless to say, when my husband found out that the manager had concealed the fact that my husband was quite possibly in danger of being murdered, he called her out on it and told her to go eff herself and quit on the spot.
This didn't result in me quitting or getting fired, but it could have. I was working as a dishwasher/busperson in a sit-down restaurant. The franchise owner was there and I was putting away pots. The owner said, "Are you trying to poison my customers?" then took a 20lb Lexan of salad and threw it against the wall. The manager looked at me and said, "Get a broom and a dustpan and clean this up." I looked at it for a few seconds and then said, "No. He threw it against the wall on purpose. He can clean it up." The manager said, "This is the franchise owner. He can fire you." I responded, "I know who he is. And yeah, he can fire me. Or he can let me work. Those are the only two options he has. If it was accidental, I'd be happy to clean it up. This was on purpose so I refuse." The owner said, I like her. She's got backbone." And cleaned it up himself. As for these managers, they do *NOT* know how to run a business. Take care of your employees and they will take care of your customers.
In regards to the bakery story where the son shit all over the toilet my initial thought was he was on drugs based on my moms stories from working adult probation
Burger king! In one week I both fainted at work (deadass blood poisioning) and my grandpa had died. They neither gave me time off aside from when I called in fron ANE after the faint, and just until I was discharged, nor for my grandads funeral. I quit the same day my grandpa died as I asked to leave work the moment mum called and told me. They said no, I quit. They lost an employee who loved their position at front counter and smiled at EVERY customer despite never knowing the next that was gonna be mean to us. All my team were lovely people, I hope management started caring when I quit because even though I was unwell that last 3 days I know I was working the hardest and best I could for them.
One of my primary jobs is as a florist in a grocery store. It definitely doesn't pay the best, but my managers are both beyond amazing. When my grandmother passed away last year, I called work the same morning I received the news to let them know. They said not to come into work for the week, that I would have a full paycheck covered by bereavement leave, and everything was taken care of. And it was all true, I just had to sign a single sheet of paper the next day I worked. Also, they're super supportive and flexible with our schedules when its the school year (I'm in a graduate program). We're a small department but everyone takes care of each other, and I have never gone home thinking that I hate my job. Corporate sucks of course, but my managers do everything they can to protect and support us so it all works out.
As someone who is in a medical assistant course when the story The talks about the doctor's office came up and said that the autoclave was broken I just about lost it. If the autoclave is not functional there would be so many different kinds of diseases that could be all the equipment that could spread to anyone that the tools are used on period having the autoclave not be functional is a serious serious problem.
I’ve only quit one job on the spot. I was a projectionist at a movie theater in college. This was in the time before digital projectors when projectionists actually worked with film and reels and all that. It was the perfect job for me. I had a quiet place to do my college coursework, and I didn’t have to deal with the general public, or any of the other staff at the theater. I am mildly autistic and have severe social anxiety because I’m not able to easily understand tones and inflections in people’s voices, and I was mercilessly mocked for this at school while I was growing up in the early 80s before anyone knew what autism was. At this theater the projectionists were technically managers, but we did none of the managerial stuff. We just ran the projectors. I was good at the job. I’m very mechanically minded, and taught myself to repair the projectors when they broke down. I saved that theater tens of thousands in repair bills by doing it all myself. Then we got a new general manager who, on his first day, asked why three of the managers never work down on the floor, and just stay up in the projection booth for their entire shifts. In a managerial meeting he told us that every manager will be required to work shifts running projectors and shifts down on the floor. I told him that if that was the way it would be, I quit right now. He said goodbye and I left. Two days later I got a call from the regional manager freaking out because he heard I’d quit. I told him why, and that because of my autism I just suck at dealing with people and that if I had to be in a position dealing with customer complaints and ordering staff around I’d drop dead from the stress and anxiety of it, and I just don’t need that in my life. He begged me to come back, offered me a considerable raise, and a promotion to a new position he had just invented where I would go around to all of the other theaters in the area he oversaw to make projector repairs when it was needed, and that I would never, ever, ever have to deal with a single customer, or supervise a single staff member. It was too tempting an offer to refuse, I still keep in touch with that regional manager to this day. He was the best man at my wedding a few years later. The new GM who wanted me to work on the floor is currently in prison for offering raises to underage girls for sexual favors, so, yeah, he was just an all around great guy, wasn’t he?
I’m glad he’s in jail for that. Did he seriously not know that he can go to jail, if the girl was a minor in the sexual favors for raises? People disgust me. But I’m glad you and the GM are still in touch.
I have one for this! It was actually the second time I quit as a shift manager at the same McDonald’s. I’d dislocated my shoulder at home while having a seizure and it was taking longer to heal because I had to keep coming into work to get paid. Well the GM was mad that she didn’t get a raise at the same time as everyone else even though she already makes more than the rest of us, so in retaliation she short staffed every single shift for the entire week after the raises because “if they’re paid more they should work more” I ended up probably tearing the muscle in that shoulder because even doing the bare minimum on an understaffed shift was too much work while I was already trying to recover. I reported it the very next day, told her that there is no way I can work any more shifts that understaffed and I will have to do a lot less than average while healing because of the amount of pain I was in. She acted like she was going to give me extra help and then just didn’t. Even refused to let me call off one day when I was almost crying from the pain. My partner told me it’s not even worth it at that point and that he could cover the bills while I get a new job so I just finished that week and started turning my phone to airplane mode every time I was scheduled to come in for a shift. I had someone tell me the GM had to fill in on an overnight shift because of me which feels great. I have a job where I make more money with less stress and also landed a second interview for a dream job already and I just quit in October. 10/10 great decision to quit.
I worked at a truck farm. We were doing 14 hour days. After 3 days, we were over 40 hours. When I came in on the 4th day I asked my manager what the schedule was since we were already over 40 hours. He said that the 3 days we did were typical, and they worked 6 days a week, so 84 hours a week. I asked about overtime for over 40 hours, they said that as agriculture business, there was no overtime. I said to pay me out right then. I was done. We went to the office, and they actually paid me out. I was glad that I got paid. Found a new job two days later that had normal hours and paid 50c an hour more. 8 hour days doing computer operations seemed like a dream after doing 14 hours a day on my feet sorting rotten vegetables off a conveyor belt.
There is a little thing about agriculture business: "Any employer in agriculture who did not utilize more than 500 "man days" of agricultural labor in any calendar quarter of the preceding calendar year is exempt from the minimum wage and overtime pay provisions of the FLSA for the current calendar year." ie go over that 500 "man days" limit and you have to pay overtime.
Almost my entire friend group that I used to hang with and party with all the time were ex-Walmart employees or ex-McDonalds employees [in one case both] who told me "never, EVER work for Walmart or McDonalds" When pressed for details, their eyes would just go blank and they would say "you don't wanna know" And, fair, I definitely do not wanna know
I once had a paper route. I got injured on the job that might require surgery if I aggravated it further. I struggled to get the route done on time and asked if I could deliver the papers on the driveway instead of running to the front porch for a time until I was healed. He said if he hears of me not delivering on the front porch, I would be charged for every paper. I promptly quite and he had to deliver my route until a replacement was found. Pro tip, please NOT leave those inground, clear leashes for your dog out on the driveway. They are impossible to see at 3am and they make the ultimate tripping hazard.
My sister worked at McDonalds briefly when she was 16. The manager there was often rude and berated people for not knowing how to do certain things. About 2 weeks into her new job, she got the stomach bug and had a scheduled shift that day. She called in saying she won't be able to make it due to this, and the manager just hung up on her. Then a few hours later, this idiot manager calls back demanding to know where she is. She explained she already call in sick due to the stomach bug. The manager said "that's no excuse, we need you in here NOW." My sister responded with "F*ck off, I quit" and hung up the phone.
Hearing about the pizza delivery person being robbed reminded me of a story from long ago. A coworker was jumped just outside a house while making a delivery. The coworker went home, got his gun, and went back to the address. I don't know all the details, but I do remember the boss intervened with police. No shots were fired, no one got hurt, but I bet those college kids wet their pants!
I cleaned up a poop bomb at a Publix when in HS I really needed the job and was being a “team player” 1/10 would not do again. Retail and grocery is the worse. Side note I make a lot more money now but I never forget the struggle when dealing with others.
When my eldest son was still a newborn, I worked for a sewing mill for$4.30 per hour. It was a crap job, but all I could get at the time, and I was not in the best relationship so was the only one working. One day I got an emergency call from my mother. My husband had locked himself and our son in our room and passed out. My son was crying, and my parents couldn't wake his father up or get into the room. I told my mom to come pick me up, while in the background I heard my dad break our bedroom window in order to get in. When I told my boss what was going on, he pretended concern while saying that I needed to "get your priorities straight" and that if I left, not to come back. I told him firmly that my priorities were straight; I walked out and never looked back.
I quit my college teaching job when we aggressively resumed in-person classes. It wasn’t even a two weeks before someone in my class was quarantined because they tested positive for covid. My wife and I weren’t gonna play that game since we were at-risk. Teaching was never my passion anyway.
I quit working at a franchise Taco Bell (a.k.a. Toxic Hell) when I got tired of being one of 3 people on third shift, pulling more sales than 1st and 2nd shift combined for any given day, when the store manager told me she wasn't going to give me the raise from minimum wage I had asked for, despite the fact 1st and 2nd shifts would run with 8 to 12 people. I was also denied OT requests and would often have to remind my store manager (who would love to schedule me for 30 to 36 hours a week) I NEED 40 hours a week to afford to pay my rent and bills. Even then I would be living off ramen on my days off, not going out to party or drink or anything. It was driving me to a very dark place mentally, so finally, after I was denied a second time after explaining how I've seen the daily sales reports, and know my shift makes more money than any other shift with no more than 3 people, vs the 8 to 12 people on the other shifts. There is no prep work done in other shifts, we would constantly not have enough product dropped from 2nd shift at the changeover, and the other shifts would constantly complain about 'how busy they got' yet would never dare venture into 3rd shift. It was all a giant smack in the face, so I dropped my uniform on her desk and walked out shirtless with 1 finger on each hand held high.
My Boss once told me im doing a great job, then demoted me and was surprised that i wouldnt do all of the work i did before. Took another job a week later. It was less pay and more work, but honestly screw them.
I worked in aluminum siding. Boss/owner was a 3 hour long, beer-soaked lunch type boss. It was frustrating how long a job lasted when your boss is hungover in the morning, drinks for 3 hours at midday, works drunk for 2 hours then heads to the bar. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, he was over a month late in paying my wages. At which point the owner of a house we were working on was chatting with me and he asked how much money I made doing that type work etc. I was feeling salty and said something like, "beats me, I ain't been paid in over a month." Next thing I know my boss is pissed at me. Saying that I was hurting his reputation and making him look bad. I told him he is responsible for his own reputation, not me. He was drunk and got argumentative. I just threw my hands up and walked away. Never to return.
I've experienced a lot of reddit channels (you know the ones, same TTS voice, comical mispronunciations) and always thought "seems like they put in barely any effort for the ad revenue they earn". The commentary from you and your non-TTS voice makes me feel like you have more than earned your almost 2million subscribers (congrats by the way) - keep it up man, I hope you get the success you deserve.
My job casually changes already posted schedules, berates it's employees and doesn't acknowledge the mental well being of those in high stress positions.
I worked in a VERY busy dr office and bombarded by phone calls and patients sometimes not getting home till 10 pm.. the other RN was supposed to split chores between us but as I’m running around having 30 patients in the waiting room she’s sitting on her ass on the computer looking at furniture for her vacation home.. that was the last straw.. got my stuff handed them the keys and left.
Wow, hearing all of this makes me realize how much abuse happened at my old job… I was working as a waiter in a really fancy restaurant (before the pandemic, they basically rented us from a catering company). I never liked working there because our bosses threw out the the uneaten food instead of letting us have it (which was usually the way to go). We had minimal breaks and one time my boss yelled me into a panic attack and grabbed my arm so hard that I had a bruise there the next day…. Man. I really gotta show more spine. Those stories helped me realize that.
Never leave a job without your last paycheck!! Make them calculate your time/money in front of you and hand you a check before you leave!! I’m almost certain it’s a mandate in most states.
How do you "make them"? "Write my final check." "No. Come back next week." "I said write my final check!" "I said no. Come back next week." What happens after that? I guess whoever is the baddest asskicker gets his way?
"for the next two weeks you're gonna notice I'm not here" fucking power move, I love it
He quit like a boss.
I worked for a scrap metal shredding company That had the most power-hungry toxic boss ever. I was hired as maintenance, then found out I was the ONLY one. Was constantly micromanaged by the most pathetic little puke of a man. So I started looking for another job. He called me into his office and wanted to go over a list of project he wanted fabricated that would be easily 3 months of work. I simply told him he needed to prioritize and work on his time management skills, because he had my two weeks. He sat in his chair looking at me like a slack-jawed retard and had nothing to say. For the next two weeks I maliciously complied with his micromanaging which meant a lot of shit broke that shouldn't have but I wasn't allowed to do anything but what he said so thats what he got. On my last day both the welder we had (which I told him was about to blow a motor at any moment) and the backup welder (which he refused to allow me to get properly working as the other one currently ran although burned a quart of oil every two hours) blew up an hour before my shift end with a major project only half completed. I simply grinned like a Cheshire cat and told him unfortunately we no longer have any working machines and he should have the next guy look into that. Got in my truck and drove off laughing my ass off.
@@nickwarner8158 fantastic, fuck that guy
Not nearly as cool but my physical location is falling apart because of our scumlord. The ceiling has been leaking for 10 years, to the point there is now a permanent hole over the ceiling where the baby changing station is in the women's room handicap stall, the parking lot is so bumpy that people with wheelchairs can barely navigate it-to the point I have seen a couple of old people thrown face first onto the pavement. 2 of 8 HVAC units are down leading to customers complaining all of the time about the temperature. Our state passed a law mandating we separated trash and recycling and they threatened to evict us for having a second trash receptacle behind our store. Corporate ended up finding a contractor to *haul our trash all the way out of state lines every 2 fucking weeks* so we could be in legal compliance with the state without getting evicted. Absolute fucking bullshit.
Well, my company has a process that every few years they reevaluate the location to determine whether we remodel or relocate. My company has certain important guidelines, like they Must be in the same parking lot as a big box store like Walmart, staples, etc. We are in the same shopping center as Walmart but businesses have been evacuating the premesis because the landlord is utter trash, so we're down to 1/2 of the buildings are abandoned and what is left is only us, 1 pharmacy, Walmart, and 2 fast food restaurants.
We were up to evaluation against our nearest neighbor store an hour north which I also worked in for 21 months. I was super psyched because I knew there was no way we would lose to them, that store's landlord is actually the nearby speedway and casino and they ACTUALLY maintain the building. Another thing is we make twice their business. We're the biggest grossing store for our company within the next 3 hour drive and our city is only booming in new industry and roads.
My dipshit district manager came in the day to start the evaluation with my boss, totally ready to show him what he clearly has known fouyr a few years about how much bullshit our landlord puts us through, but first they look at the books. *That mother fucker ended our evaluation in the first 5 minutes without looking at anything because he said "we have the cheapest rent in the district"*
MOTHER
FUCKER
I stayed angry and 2 months later Covid happens which delayed their plans over our much newer and not collapsing neighbor store. But the icing on this shit cake? *Walmart decided to move.* fucking. Walmart. Is done with this landlord and is going to move exactly where I thought we would, leaving us now with 0 big box stores nearby. We knew their store manager was also in negotiations about remodel or relocate, and even THEY knew to relocate.
So we're locked in for the next 5+ years before the next evaluation and I pray nobody is seriously injured as OSHA has been called yet somehow can't do anything for us.. But this company and that district manager deserves all of the lost parasitic business for their bone headed bullshit to prioritize rent cost over *literally everything else.* Seriously, we pay a ridiculous amount for trash depot, how in the FUCK do you blindly make that call?!
Anyway corporations are a moral failing and need to be be regulated into the ground or revolted against
Sadly employees are rarely missed...the company will just get someone else pretty quick and the leaver will be forgotten within days
“A bachelors degree in fast food. Does this person think someone goes to college… to get a degree in burger flipping”
*Nervously sweats with my culinary arts degree*
Are you Jim? Because with that level of skill you could get far ahead if you stop working for Mr. Krab.
Feeling the same.
Don’t ever work in a fast food place and you will at least have a chance to make decent money.
if it makes you happy I seriously have a diploma/certificate for trash-picking 🤣
I know mcdonalds has a "university" lmao
I work for a legal 420 store in Canada. When I started, my manager told me, "If someone comes in and tries to rob the place, let them take whatever they want. Get them out as quickly as possible and lock the door behind them. Your life is more valuable than anything they might take from the store." Which should be the policy and literally any and all stores and banks. I would never work somewhere I was expected to needlessly endanger my personal health and safety, and no one else should either.
My friend, that's probably because it was in Canada. Here in the USA sadly, many businesses don't care about that. One of many things Canada does better than us.
That’s any legal ran marijuana store, which is something that should be upheld by most corporations. I’ve always thought it funny how weed stores are basically trend setters for how stores should operate
That used to be the policy in print when I first started working with my very last job I worked at. Giant lettering. Don't stop shoplifters. Leave the register. Let them have it. Please don't risk your life. And then after working there for a while a new policy came out with a new handbook... We'd get a "reward" for stopping armed shoplifters. $5.
A measly $5.
I work at Micro Center, similar policy there. Armed robber wants the money in the drawer? Let 'em. It's the store's money, no need to risk your life protecting it. Eh, it's not like I've had to deal with that anyway.
unless the next customer is CCW, one in the chest, one in his buddy's neck (sorry for all the blood, i tend to pull low and to the right--scary dude), wheel man ran (you know, you could have driven away free) across the street into arriving PD. it was over so fast i still had my .357 in its holster. hero-man had a 1911 .45, killed one, critically wounded one, those losers robbed 2 other 7-elevens in the previous 2 hours. talk about going in 3s. i asked Rosie how often they get robbed "oh, only a couple or so times a week, it's like we're an ATM" :o
I always love it when managers think they own you. "You'll quit when I approve you can quit"
Hold my apron, work vest or whatever, manager, and watch this.
I was sexually harassed when I worked at Walmart, when I reported it to my team lead he reported me for gossiping. I was pulled into a meeting about it ( which was really a reprimand ) and I quit on the spot.
poor soul hope everything is better now
That's shit. If I see an act of sexual harassment at the Walmart that I work at, I will report it to Ethics first before talking to a manager about it.
Sounds like that Walmart also a branch of Activision Blizzard.
What the actual fuck
What is it with the creepy, dishonest and scummy managers over there in the US? In most of Europe that shit would not fly and they'd get legal consequences.
As a left handed person I gotta say I wouldn't have just merely quit if my boss smacked my hand when they saw me writing left handed. I would press charges for assault and sue for discrimination, see if we could have it charged as a hate crime too
Yes. I agree. Press charges. Always press charges.
My response would have been WTF is your problem dude?
nice lie bro
@@bostonrailfan2427 Where's the lie? Yeah, if I was smacked by my boss I would do it too, which is all they said?
@@timothybarham6374 ikr? How old was that coot? We ain't in the 1930's anymore. Left-handedness has been widely accepted as 'a thing' for literal fucking decades at this point. If someone is still smacking people for writing with their left hand, they have no place in this world anymore.
My boss treated the death of my grandpa as an annoying inconvenience for him. I first had to leave early when my grandpa was in his last hours, but my boss just groaned at suddenly needing a replacement for my shift. When I got back, the same day grandpa died, the very first thing my boss did was lecture me for several minutes about forgetting to wipe the barstools. Any acknowledgement of my grandpa was a brief, "I'm sorry about that," followed by more lecturing. I knew right then that this boss was too toxic to work with. No wonder his place eventually went out of business.
You're definitely not the only one who have similar experience
That's messed up dude glad you quit
That's really messed up.
Wow I'm surprised didn't kick his ass for that.. as holy crap I think I would of as well >
My condolences for your loss

I am a street sweeper before I got my own little area to keep clean I worked in a group. at some point, my back started giving issues so my supervisor gave me the light-duty of trash picking. at one time I was done quicker than them so I asked my supervisor what to do she said 'just go sit in or near the work van' since the van had some expensive equipment I asked what I should do if people came and tried to take the things in the van 'just let them steal it, the city is ensured for that stuff and your health is more worth than some mowers' nothing happened luckily but I do kind of wonder what thieves would have thought if a worker just sits there while they were stealing. 😆
@@velvety2006 they'd come back over and over, knowing that you'd just sit there. At least till they get caught

A friend of mine in high school used to work at a fast food restaurant and requested a reduction in hours so he could focus on his homework. His manager said that him flipping burgers was more important than him getting his diploma. He quit on the spot.
My prayers go out to the woman who quit her job because THE MANAGER told her to ignore Child Molestation. we need more people in the world like you, thank you for your Brave sacrifice and sense of Duty.
The worst thing about these stories are the people NOT reporting things to the police / authorities. The best way to get back at your boss is through their wallet, plus you protect all your fellow and future employees.
LOL
“Hello, police, this manager isn’t paying me what he said he would!”
The police- “so what do you want us to do about it?”
@P. A. these same people that think cops are superheroes also don’t understand why people distrust them. I chalk it up to privilege to the point of weaponized ignorance. Not that it’s a bad thing to live a nice life, but again, weaponized ignorance means they don’t even bother to think critically when underprivileged complain.
I mean, if a person seriously thinks a cop will do something about a manager being a meanie they probably can’t even imagine a cop making fun of a rape victim or shooting an autistic person’s caretaker that has his hands up protecting the autistic person in question from police (Charles Kinsey).
Good luck finding an attorney on contingency (pay if you win). And OSHA, L&I, EEOC are sooo backlogged that if it's not serious injury or death, they won't take action on minor "discriminations" or payroll discrepancies. The whistleblower protection era is broken.
Except that in most of these stories, the cops can't do jack-shit. Maybe a class-action lawsuit would help in some of these cases.
Seems like a sensible plan, but it will be like the word of the employee vs the word of the employer.
My mom died at 715. I called my job at 730 to tell them and before I could finish saying I'm not coming in for my night shift my manager said that 3 hours was enough time for me to get things done. I said I wasn't coming in, and she said if I don't make it in the next day, she might not have a job for me. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a week later that was over his entire body eating it away. I walked into my work, looked my manager in the eye and said I quit an hour before my night shift. I wasn't going to lose my dad and stress about work. Screw you north Seattle always open fitness club.
I'm sorry for your loss. That's just appalling, inhumane and demonstrates a lack of empathy verging on sociopathy. I hope you're in a better place now?
@@PonderingStudent Thanks, but I knew once my mom died my dad wouldn't last long without her. She was his world. Christmas Eve was her favorite holiday so he died on Dec 23 to be with her. Even had a smile on his lips, so I tell myself he saw her. I could be crazy though. Haha Still looking for a better job after a few set backs, but that's the fun part of life, no? Thanks for the comment!
There is something seriously wrong with your ex manager. What an appalling person.
I'm so sorry for all of the hard times and grief you have endured. I'm sure you know you never forget but it does get better.
@@theycallmeashe Truthfully, yes, he saw her... No doubt about it. Not crazy at all. Trust that. My dad died this past May, and my momma woulda been 81 on 12/29/21, so Xmas was her fave, too!🎄

Stay Encouraged.👍There are some things we have to learn b4 our next jobs, so if you don't have one yet, don't rush your process... and don't trip about it. You want to go ONLY where you are needed, not where you wished you stayed home to avoid.
My first job as a nurse, The person training me. -who the Head Nurse gushed over just the day before- was fired two hours into my orientation and I was thrown out onto a 30 bed floor by myself. Then I learned that several employees on my floor were going to be suspended for mis treatment of a resident who no longer was there. The Head Nurse told me I would be suspended as well even though I had never known this resident. When I tried to point this out She told me it was “out of her hands”. At the end of my shift I told her I wasn’t returning and she begged me to reconsider but I would still be suspended. I called the State board of nursing the moment I got home and within a few months that facility was closed down for multiple serious violations

I ended up quitting after 3 months of seeing the oldest employee (whom I became good friends with) work diligently and not getting acknowledged. It made me realize there was no possibility of advancement. After I found a better job with better pay and better hours, I contacted my old friend from the restaurant and told him of an open position at my currently workplace. He left the restaurant, which made the manager angry. The guy holding the whole shift is leaving, making her shift actually do their jobs. My friend is happy where we work now.
i love this story. thats why i stop working hard cause people really try to put u down when u r doing their work making life easy but dont want to promote

Two instances come to mind:
1. I got a second job at a vintage/costume store because it was fun. With travel to and from work, I was working there for free. I was fine with that because I had the time/money and loved talking with customers about vintage products. I also enjoyed helping them pick out costumes for events. The owner yelled at me for spending too much time with customers and said that time spent with them was money out of my wallet (I worked hourly). I quit the next day.
2. I worked as a bartender until the owner of the bar took me off to the side and asked me what we should do with all our sexual tension. I was 26 and happily in a relationship. He was 49, married, and believed the moon landing was a hoax. I quit the next day, which happened to be Saint Patrick's day.
I take it your answer at the second story wasn't just "look for a new job"? :P
Two instances come to your what?

@@Retzmag No. I quit first. Then I looked for a new job. Thanks for being a troll though.
The vintage owner seems short sighted. Talking with, not at, customers isn't slacking. It is one way to get repeat business.
I just started a new job about 3 weeks ago. The job is a WFH tech support role. During the interview process I wasn't told the actual internet speed for the job. The first week I was struggling to log in and had to call tech support EVERYDAY. I finally found my loophole on week 2 but still the same internet speed. I have to pay $300 for faster internet in a rural area. I've already planned out my second paycheck to cover this months bills. I'm going to work up to payday to get a $500 paycheck in 2 weeks so I can cover the next month just to be on the safe side. I've already sent out applications and even waiting on my interview for one. Never leave without a plan.
I feel ya on the rural internet speeds, they are absolute garbage and most of the time the company that supplies them don't care because we have no other options.
that sucks you still gotta spend the money
I've worked for two McDonald's, the first was super pleasant and I loved it to no end, the second however, I quit after 3 days because the managers had written a schedule down on a napkin, didn't hand it to me had a coworker do it, and on my day off on the napkin they called me all upset I didn't show up for my shift, tried to tell me that I was going to be reprimanded for it and I told them I am not taking the fall for their inadequacy in doing their own jobs, there's more but that's the jist of it
Geez, that place is so hostile and that practice is illegal.
@@ReigoVassal It was definitely hostile, that also played a part in why I quit, they changed tunes when I told them I quit though cause I had previous experience and they didn't need to train me to do anything
N a p k i n
I worked at Taco Bell when I was 15. The first day I gave the wrong change (handed out a $20) and the customer noticed and gave it back. The person training me saw and told the shift manager when she came in. The SM rudely took me off register and told me to clean the lobby she took my drawer and counted it then after called me to the office to scold me even though my drawer was perfectly balanced I quit because of her attitude on my first day I was NOT taking that
That last story: What the hell? There are plenty of things that can be done about that. It's not like there's a restaurant-customer confidentiality. Just fucking call the cops.
Yeah, that's fucking disgusting. If I was the manger, the cops would be called instantly, no second guesses.

I had a supervisor that threw me under the bus several times. The company has a deal with supervisors that if they kept profits up, they'd get bonuses. His way was to make sure nobody in his department got raises. The final straw was he directly defied the owner & blamed it on me.
"Minimum Wage was 4.25 an hour."

Well where I live its only 7.25, in 2021. And I assume this was years and years ago
That wage sounds like an early California 1990's minimum wage. Here its how 14 an hour.
years ago…if it happened at all
I used to work as a server. The job was awful so I found a new one. When I was gonna put my two weeks, the manager asked why I was leaving. I responded all the things that were bad about the job: they paid minimum, expected servers to buy all their tools out of pocket (including extra shirts from the franchise), unreasonable social expectations (we're like a family kinda restaurant), having servers pay for dine-and-dash outta pocket, etc. He responded ''Well don't point fingers at me, I haven't done anything to you ". Because of this I told him I would rather not even do the two weeks, he told me I could work until Sunday. That Sunday was 4th of July, I quit there and then.
some of that is illegal and u should report him if it happened within 2 years
@@jessicah3782 if you mean the dine and dash one, it's unfortunately not illegal in my state.
I quit my full-time job of nine years last year during the pandemic. At the time, I had two jobs: my full-time job at the used book warehouse (non-essential business) and my part-time job at a grocery store (very much essential business). When the pandemic hit, despite my state's call for non-essential businesses to shutter, the warehouse stayed open due to a legal loophole (claiming it fell under the Transportation Systems Sector as a "warehouse and distribution facility" rather than under the Commercial Sector). I was super uncomfortable working when it felt like I was doing something illegal, and since the grocery store needed all the help they could get, I asked if I could go on leave to pick up more hours there. They seemed cool with it. Two weeks later, I get a phone call from them: "Well, since you aren't ACTUALLY working full time hours here (note: I wouldn't have been able to even if I hadn't taken leave, as they had reduced their operating hours), we're dropping you from the health insurance."
In the MIDDLE of a PANDEMIC.
So I just quit, got insurance through my part-time job, and now have much less stress. To be fair, this wasn't the only issue I had with my full-time job, but it was definitely the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

7:00 thats not a power play, thats being an animal.
I was with a company for 1 month. I was a support worker and had to look after 3 different people (at differnt time and days) but one day while taking care of the worst patient (worst being she had the most problems, she was actually an amazing woman) I got a call from my mum crying that she needs to pick me up and go to a hospital 4 hours away where my grandparents live because my granddads in hospital as the cancer has gotten a lot worse and the doctors don't think he'll last the night.
I called my manager and they said they're going to send someone over to complete the rest of my shift.
Hours later I get a text from my manager asking when I'll be back, I said I didn't know, it could be tomorrow it could be the day after (turns out it was 3 days after, my grandads a fighter) but then he said "so how're you supposed to get all your hours in?" I just said I'm watching my grandad die before my eyes, are you really more concerned about me doing my job than that??
He didn't know what to say but I did. "I quit".
He sighed but said okay.
$100 a week, minimum wage working 40 hours a week gives you more. The lowest minimum wage right now is $7.25 an hour. and what do you get at the end of that week. $290. They are trying to pay op what i consider less than livable. I dont even think minimum wage is livable unless you got room-mates.
The bachelor's degree story reminds of when I got a part-time job at Walmart right after I graduated while I looked for a job in my field. "Because you have a degree, your starting wage will be 10 cents higher." Ten cents over minimum wage? How generous of you...
I went to a job interview once. I’ve been working in stores and been waitressing for about 15 years. The dude at the pizzeria was expecting me to work for max 7.5$ an hour. I ended the job interview on the spot. The owner of the pizzeria: surprised pikachu face 😂
Minimum wage in Sweden for that position is normally about $13 an hour

I had worked as a showroom sales manager at a place for over six years. When I quit and gave two weeks notice. The boss told me he’d pay me out my 10 days of vacation time. I ended up not working that last day due to a death in my immediate family. I never saw the pay out for those two weeks of vacation, because I didn’t work the entire two weeks. I don’t miss that job or employer one bit. What an awful human being, any excuses to ripe you off.
it was a Monday afternoon and I found out my grandmas condition was dwindling and I told my boss and asked to take Friday off and she insisted that I should leave right then because it was a long trip. I got there late Monday night and Tuesday my grandma told me she loved me for the last time before she couldn’t speak anymore. She passed on Friday. My boss was the reason I got to hear my grandma tell me she loves me for the last time.
What a great and sympathetic boss to have.
Best story on here... that is soul and spirit for me when humanity is compassionate.
With the 11.25 vs 11.75 story the better line would be "Well McDonalds has a Hamburger University..."
I was working as a line cook and the head manager demoted me to dishwasher. He claimed all sorts of false stuff. Then says hold on I need to check in the delivery and then we can talk some more. I look over and see that the slowest dishwasher in the world is working and we are at our busiest. The manager was counting on me to help him because I started their. I just walked out and left them screwed.
I'm so curious about the layoff story. What happened after? Were the layoffs illegal? Anyone sue? Any prorevenge?
It's very common for employers to keep it a secret, make staff work extra hard the week before, then immediately lay them off. It's completely legal too so there's nothing to sue for. Employers arent required to give warnings before layoffs.
@@RiveroftheWither I figured. Just feels wrong. Employee rights are on the decline every year. I hope we can lead a movement to protect employees more from lay offs like this in the future :)
@@RiveroftheWither Happened to me.
Fuck probations,
@@RiveroftheWither Actually depending on the number of workers here in the States there are requirements for that sort of thing. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN): "by requiring employers with 100 or more employees (generally not counting those who have worked less than six months in the last 12 months and those who work an average of less than 20 hours a week) to provide *at least 60 calendar days advance* _written notice_ of a plant closing and mass layoff affecting 50 or more employees at a single site of employment."
So when I worked at a grocery store that had just opened it was possibly the best job I ever had. But someone had explosive diarrhea in one of the restrooms and my boss asked us if someone would help them in the bathroom and whoever did it would get an extra 50 at the end of the day. My boss and I both cleaned that bathroom and within an hour it was spotless. That’s how you manage people. Work with the employees.
That Walmart story hit home. I had a manager that was constantly up my butt about getting my area stocked faster. Idiot wanted it done in 4 hours. I worked a full aisle and a half, whilst most worked a half aisle or single aisle. I told him that it wasn't possible due to the sheer amount of product that would need to be restocked and he swore up and down that it was. I looked him dead in the eyes and said "Oh yea? Go ahead and prove it. I'll get it done in 4 hours when I see you do it." This shut him up and he just walked off. I ended up quitting not long afterwards.
I lasted 4 months working Walmart to return to being a security guard locked with mental patients for 2 years;
At least I knew the people I worked with were crazy.
And all these people are shocked that why the OPs left. As one of the OPs said: "Figure it out."
Op in that last story with the kid definitely did the right thing. Jesus....
Absolutely. I know the kid got his wish. I guess I got mine, too. I know what that was like.
That first story is me right now. I’ve been working my butt off this past year, taking on more work not just because of the pandemic but because one of my coworkers was diagnosed with cancer and they needed someone to take on her duties.
When a salaried position opened up I was essentially promised the spot, but they said they “needed a few days to get everything ready” and “would I mind taking on some of those duties too” in the meantime. Well, four months have passed since then and nothing. I am now actively looking for another job.
So many people have gotten sick of them that there’s been a massive exodus and I’m one of the last in my department. When I quit they’re going to be in real trouble 😈
As someone who works in a hospital… not having a working autoclave genuinely horrified me…

I worked at a restaurant where a dude came into the mixed bathroom (double doors, conditioned air and shit) and spend half and hour there. He suddenly came out all flustered and asked for toilet paper. Weird, he was the first one to use it since we opened, but ok.
After he left, a kid and his mom came in. Stood still for a second and the kid started laughing.
There was diarrhea EVERYWHERE, and I mean it. From the toilet to the mirror and the hands dryer. We didn't know how he smeared it on the ceiling.
Anyway, the manager closed it for the day, told us to don't even dare touch it and cleaned it herself after we closed for the day.

My story for quitting on the spot is, I was working at a furniture store warehouse as a forklift operator, it was shitty work but honest work, higher management didn’t care about us employees and they were somewhat abusive to us. I’m also a certified emt, I was looking for a EMT job but most places wouldn’t hire you if you weren’t 21, anyways I got a call from a company I applied to, they wanted to interview me so I went in and they hired me on the spot, so the next day I went to the warehouse, walked up to all the managers told them that yesterday was my last day and I quit, you could hear a pen drop when I said that in front of the 5 supervisors for a few seconds. I walked out a very happy person and they had to deal with missing an operator that could pick maybe 200-300 pieces of furniture per day, it was a great day for me, I then went on to quitting that ambulance company on the spot a few months later.
I only ever quit one job, I was a night shift worker at a gas station and the final straw was when I was sick and told that I couldn't take the day off. Me, needing the money, stupidly came in. About halfway into work I found myself laying on the floor behind the register as I couldn't breath and was sweating profusely(there was no one else there.) Next schedule comes up and my boss didn't put me on at all for the week for my 'unprofessional behavior' and in that week I got a new job and put in my two weeks.
Worked as a highly qualified aerospace engineer for a very large, multinational company. I was seconded from Engineering to the Marketing Department to head up a large (very technical) bid in a foreign country. Eventually secured the largest order for a new aircraft type the company had ever received. Returned home to find that I had 'fallen through the cracks' for the annual pay rise. Each department blaming the other but "never mind, we'll sort it out next year".
I handed in my notice that day. Last I heard they were in a flat panic as the new customer was stipulating they wanted me as Chief Engineer on their project and wanted to know why I wasn't available.
I really don't like being lied to. I've left a couple of positions over the years because my management lied to me.
That story about the Romanian manager who didn't want to call the police had me nervous, but then he mentioned the units coming in and it put a big smile on my face.
12:35 I love this little story. That Romanian boss is a king! The delivery guy wouldn't get his things back if he called the police, I'm sure of it.
That was a fantastic twist!
That boss handled it the "old fashioned way".
My husband got held up at gunpoint while working nights at a famous chain of convenience stores. He did exactly what he was told to do in the situation, which was giving the guy the money and not fighting back. However, he was so terrified that he couldn’t get the cash register open, and the guy started freaking out and yelling to hurry up. My husband got the drawer open and gave the thief the money. The thief ran and my husband called the police. The guy got caught and arrested, but he made bail.
HOWEVER, someone reported that the thief had been making threats about coming back to the store to kill my husband for calling the cops. The manager was an idiot and super lazy and entitled, and she didn’t tell my husband about these threats so that she wouldn’t have to cover his shift.
Needless to say, when my husband found out that the manager had concealed the fact that my husband was quite possibly in danger of being murdered, he called her out on it and told her to go eff herself and quit on the spot.
This didn't result in me quitting or getting fired, but it could have. I was working as a dishwasher/busperson in a sit-down restaurant. The franchise owner was there and I was putting away pots. The owner said, "Are you trying to poison my customers?" then took a 20lb Lexan of salad and threw it against the wall. The manager looked at me and said, "Get a broom and a dustpan and clean this up." I looked at it for a few seconds and then said, "No. He threw it against the wall on purpose. He can clean it up." The manager said, "This is the franchise owner. He can fire you." I responded, "I know who he is. And yeah, he can fire me. Or he can let me work. Those are the only two options he has. If it was accidental, I'd be happy to clean it up. This was on purpose so I refuse."
The owner said, I like her. She's got backbone." And cleaned it up himself.
As for these managers, they do *NOT* know how to run a business. Take care of your employees and they will take care of your customers.

Burger king! In one week I both fainted at work (deadass blood poisioning) and my grandpa had died. They neither gave me time off aside from when I called in fron ANE after the faint, and just until I was discharged, nor for my grandads funeral. I quit the same day my grandpa died as I asked to leave work the moment mum called and told me. They said no, I quit. They lost an employee who loved their position at front counter and smiled at EVERY customer despite never knowing the next that was gonna be mean to us. All my team were lovely people, I hope management started caring when I quit because even though I was unwell that last 3 days I know I was working the hardest and best I could for them.
Kinda felt like that last story was a little heavy to put a sponsor afterwards
One of my primary jobs is as a florist in a grocery store. It definitely doesn't pay the best, but my managers are both beyond amazing. When my grandmother passed away last year, I called work the same morning I received the news to let them know. They said not to come into work for the week, that I would have a full paycheck covered by bereavement leave, and everything was taken care of. And it was all true, I just had to sign a single sheet of paper the next day I worked. Also, they're super supportive and flexible with our schedules when its the school year (I'm in a graduate program). We're a small department but everyone takes care of each other, and I have never gone home thinking that I hate my job. Corporate sucks of course, but my managers do everything they can to protect and support us so it all works out.
As someone who is in a medical assistant course when the story The talks about the doctor's office came up and said that the autoclave was broken I just about lost it. If the autoclave is not functional there would be so many different kinds of diseases that could be all the equipment that could spread to anyone that the tools are used on period having the autoclave not be functional is a serious serious problem.
I’ve only quit one job on the spot. I was a projectionist at a movie theater in college. This was in the time before digital projectors when projectionists actually worked with film and reels and all that. It was the perfect job for me. I had a quiet place to do my college coursework, and I didn’t have to deal with the general public, or any of the other staff at the theater. I am mildly autistic and have severe social anxiety because I’m not able to easily understand tones and inflections in people’s voices, and I was mercilessly mocked for this at school while I was growing up in the early 80s before anyone knew what autism was. At this theater the projectionists were technically managers, but we did none of the managerial stuff. We just ran the projectors. I was good at the job. I’m very mechanically minded, and taught myself to repair the projectors when they broke down. I saved that theater tens of thousands in repair bills by doing it all myself. Then we got a new general manager who, on his first day, asked why three of the managers never work down on the floor, and just stay up in the projection booth for their entire shifts. In a managerial meeting he told us that every manager will be required to work shifts running projectors and shifts down on the floor. I told him that if that was the way it would be, I quit right now. He said goodbye and I left. Two days later I got a call from the regional manager freaking out because he heard I’d quit. I told him why, and that because of my autism I just suck at dealing with people and that if I had to be in a position dealing with customer complaints and ordering staff around I’d drop dead from the stress and anxiety of it, and I just don’t need that in my life. He begged me to come back, offered me a considerable raise, and a promotion to a new position he had just invented where I would go around to all of the other theaters in the area he oversaw to make projector repairs when it was needed, and that I would never, ever, ever have to deal with a single customer, or supervise a single staff member. It was too tempting an offer to refuse, I still keep in touch with that regional manager to this day. He was the best man at my wedding a few years later. The new GM who wanted me to work on the floor is currently in prison for offering raises to underage girls for sexual favors, so, yeah, he was just an all around great guy, wasn’t he?
I’m glad he’s in jail for that. Did he seriously not know that he can go to jail, if the girl was a minor in the sexual favors for raises? People disgust me. But I’m glad you and the GM are still in touch.

I have one for this! It was actually the second time I quit as a shift manager at the same McDonald’s. I’d dislocated my shoulder at home while having a seizure and it was taking longer to heal because I had to keep coming into work to get paid. Well the GM was mad that she didn’t get a raise at the same time as everyone else even though she already makes more than the rest of us, so in retaliation she short staffed every single shift for the entire week after the raises because “if they’re paid more they should work more” I ended up probably tearing the muscle in that shoulder because even doing the bare minimum on an understaffed shift was too much work while I was already trying to recover. I reported it the very next day, told her that there is no way I can work any more shifts that understaffed and I will have to do a lot less than average while healing because of the amount of pain I was in. She acted like she was going to give me extra help and then just didn’t. Even refused to let me call off one day when I was almost crying from the pain. My partner told me it’s not even worth it at that point and that he could cover the bills while I get a new job so I just finished that week and started turning my phone to airplane mode every time I was scheduled to come in for a shift. I had someone tell me the GM had to fill in on an overnight shift because of me which feels great. I have a job where I make more money with less stress and also landed a second interview for a dream job already and I just quit in October. 10/10 great decision to quit.
I had Jim the fry cook teach and test me for my bachelor's degree in Burger Flipping, and Jim's time doesn't come cheap.
I worked at a truck farm. We were doing 14 hour days. After 3 days, we were over 40 hours. When I came in on the 4th day I asked my manager what the schedule was since we were already over 40 hours. He said that the 3 days we did were typical, and they worked 6 days a week, so 84 hours a week. I asked about overtime for over 40 hours, they said that as agriculture business, there was no overtime. I said to pay me out right then. I was done.
We went to the office, and they actually paid me out. I was glad that I got paid. Found a new job two days later that had normal hours and paid 50c an hour more. 8 hour days doing computer operations seemed like a dream after doing 14 hours a day on my feet sorting rotten vegetables off a conveyor belt.
There is a little thing about agriculture business: "Any employer in agriculture who did not utilize more than 500 "man days" of agricultural labor in any calendar quarter of the preceding calendar year is exempt from the minimum wage and overtime pay provisions of the FLSA for the current calendar year." ie go over that 500 "man days" limit and you have to pay overtime.
Almost my entire friend group that I used to hang with and party with all the time were ex-Walmart employees or ex-McDonalds employees [in one case both] who told me "never, EVER work for Walmart or McDonalds"
When pressed for details, their eyes would just go blank and they would say "you don't wanna know"
And, fair, I definitely do not wanna know
excellent advice
Gonna be honest, most of the time when people say "you don't wanna know" about a job like that, it's because they were the problem.
I once had a paper route. I got injured on the job that might require surgery if I aggravated it further. I struggled to get the route done on time and asked if I could deliver the papers on the driveway instead of running to the front porch for a time until I was healed.
He said if he hears of me not delivering on the front porch, I would be charged for every paper.
I promptly quite and he had to deliver my route until a replacement was found.
Pro tip, please NOT leave those inground, clear leashes for your dog out on the driveway. They are impossible to see at 3am and they make the ultimate tripping hazard.
My sister worked at McDonalds briefly when she was 16. The manager there was often rude and berated people for not knowing how to do certain things.
About 2 weeks into her new job, she got the stomach bug and had a scheduled shift that day. She called in saying she won't be able to make it due to this, and the manager just hung up on her.
Then a few hours later, this idiot manager calls back demanding to know where she is. She explained she already call in sick due to the stomach bug. The manager said "that's no excuse, we need you in here NOW."
My sister responded with "F*ck off, I quit" and hung up the phone.
Good on your sister
Hearing about the pizza delivery person being robbed reminded me of a story from long ago. A coworker was jumped just outside a house while making a delivery. The coworker went home, got his gun, and went back to the address. I don't know all the details, but I do remember the boss intervened with police. No shots were fired, no one got hurt, but I bet those college kids wet their pants!
I cleaned up a poop bomb at a Publix when in HS I really needed the job and was being a “team player” 1/10 would not do again. Retail and grocery is the worse. Side note I make a lot more money now but I never forget the struggle when dealing with others.
When my eldest son was still a newborn, I worked for a sewing mill for$4.30 per hour. It was a crap job, but all I could get at the time, and I was not in the best relationship so was the only one working.
One day I got an emergency call from my mother. My husband had locked himself and our son in our room and passed out. My son was crying, and my parents couldn't wake his father up or get into the room. I told my mom to come pick me up, while in the background I heard my dad break our bedroom window in order to get in.
When I told my boss what was going on, he pretended concern while saying that I needed to "get your priorities straight" and that if I left, not to come back. I told him firmly that my priorities were straight; I walked out and never looked back.
I quit my college teaching job when we aggressively resumed in-person classes. It wasn’t even a two weeks before someone in my class was quarantined because they tested positive for covid. My wife and I weren’t gonna play that game since we were at-risk. Teaching was never my passion anyway.
I quit working at a franchise Taco Bell (a.k.a. Toxic Hell) when I got tired of being one of 3 people on third shift, pulling more sales than 1st and 2nd shift combined for any given day, when the store manager told me she wasn't going to give me the raise from minimum wage I had asked for, despite the fact 1st and 2nd shifts would run with 8 to 12 people. I was also denied OT requests and would often have to remind my store manager (who would love to schedule me for 30 to 36 hours a week) I NEED 40 hours a week to afford to pay my rent and bills. Even then I would be living off ramen on my days off, not going out to party or drink or anything. It was driving me to a very dark place mentally, so finally, after I was denied a second time after explaining how I've seen the daily sales reports, and know my shift makes more money than any other shift with no more than 3 people, vs the 8 to 12 people on the other shifts. There is no prep work done in other shifts, we would constantly not have enough product dropped from 2nd shift at the changeover, and the other shifts would constantly complain about 'how busy they got' yet would never dare venture into 3rd shift. It was all a giant smack in the face, so I dropped my uniform on her desk and walked out shirtless with 1 finger on each hand held high.
My Boss once told me im doing a great job, then demoted me and was surprised that i wouldnt do all of the work i did before.
Took another job a week later.
It was less pay and more work, but honestly screw them.
I worked in aluminum siding. Boss/owner was a 3 hour long, beer-soaked lunch type boss. It was frustrating how long a job lasted when your boss is hungover in the morning, drinks for 3 hours at midday, works drunk for 2 hours then heads to the bar. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, he was over a month late in paying my wages.
At which point the owner of a house we were working on was chatting with me and he asked how much money I made doing that type work etc. I was feeling salty and said something like, "beats me, I ain't been paid in over a month." Next thing I know my boss is pissed at me. Saying that I was hurting his reputation and making him look bad. I told him he is responsible for his own reputation, not me. He was drunk and got argumentative. I just threw my hands up and walked away. Never to return.
I'm going to have to remember that line "for the next two weeks, you're gonna notice I'm not here"
I've experienced a lot of reddit channels (you know the ones, same TTS voice, comical mispronunciations) and always thought "seems like they put in barely any effort for the ad revenue they earn". The commentary from you and your non-TTS voice makes me feel like you have more than earned your almost 2million subscribers (congrats by the way) - keep it up man, I hope you get the success you deserve.
My job casually changes already posted schedules, berates it's employees and doesn't acknowledge the mental well being of those in high stress positions.
I worked in a VERY busy dr office and bombarded by phone calls and patients sometimes not getting home till 10 pm.. the other RN was supposed to split chores between us but as I’m running around having 30 patients in the waiting room she’s sitting on her ass on the computer looking at furniture for her vacation home.. that was the last straw.. got my stuff handed them the keys and left.
Daily reminder that you are loved and appreciated even if you don’t know it
thanks same to you
Wow, hearing all of this makes me realize how much abuse happened at my old job… I was working as a waiter in a really fancy restaurant (before the pandemic, they basically rented us from a catering company). I never liked working there because our bosses threw out the the uneaten food instead of letting us have it (which was usually the way to go). We had minimal breaks and one time my boss yelled me into a panic attack and grabbed my arm so hard that I had a bruise there the next day….
Man. I really gotta show more spine. Those stories helped me realize that.
The RUclips notifications finally worked, instead of telling me someone posted 28 hours after the original, it told me instantly
Maybe it was fate for OP to be working at Chuck E. Cheese to fulfill that poor little boys wish, I hope it came true for him.
Never leave a job without your last paycheck!! Make them calculate your time/money in front of you and hand you a check before you leave!! I’m almost certain it’s a mandate in most states.
How do you "make them"?
"Write my final check."
"No. Come back next week."
"I said write my final check!"
"I said no. Come back next week."
What happens after that? I guess whoever is the baddest asskicker gets his way?
Here's the thing: A mandate isn't a law.
@@WorldWalker128 Yep! True, true!
