bingo... why several victims that hired lawyers who did some digging discovered things like emergency responders took 10+ minutes...when it should of taken them 3 to 5 minutes...., my clients relative could of lived if the operator was qualified etc etc... massive payouts
yup. worked for years at city transit bus. father's wife rolled the cadi 6 times crushed to death. daddy had a stroke and heart attack when he was told. i was 1000 miles from the company, dealing with attorney, real estate, and my emotionally wrecked father. the only consideration from HRT? we're looking for you to be here today...when i got back, i walked in and dropped my transit ID off with the dispatcher, shoved my union card into the bitchbox, and NOPE. bus companies suck, whether greyhound, federal, contract/tour, or local transit. it's a slave-trade.
True, but I’ve worked with way too many more people than there should be that would lie about their kids being sick just because they were hungover or just didn’t want to work that day so I KINDA get the asshole managers POV. I knew when they came back, I asked how the kiddos were doing and then they’d talk about the fun night two nights ago
Unfortunately, it's one of those things where the standards are low everywhere. You probably have little to no work experience and thus are easily replaceable. On the other hand those jobs are a dime a dozen too. From what I've gathered they try to make everything sound incredibly important to squeeze out as much as they can from you before you take off for whatever reason. Sometimes I think even mid management doesn't realize how hard they're getting fucked either.
This reminds me of my crappy, but very important job. I’m a CNA working in a nursing home. One of my coworkers, who has been there for as long as i’ve been alive (no joke, 18 years) recently needed to take off for her aunts funeral. They denied her but didn’t call in any of our PRN staff, or me, who mostly always picks up shifts for people. They literally forced her to skip her aunts funeral just because they didn’t want to call anyone in.
@@Jordan-gb3yr pretty sure she could’ve gotten them into some deep shit . Plus they are supposed to have FBLA and bereavement leave for situations like funerals so they not only suck for her dedication to them but could have a law suit on their hands . Companies that refuse to be more than accommodating to their employees aren’t someone who you’d want to be employed with. That’s unacceptable for them to refuse her days off for a funeral. Sooo selfish and not showing her their appreciation.
Walked out halfway through the day. I got there at a new factory job. They gave me maybe a 5 minute fast as hell rundown of what to do because they were so low staffed and the guy training me had to not only train other people, but go and do his own job after all that. I barely understood what I was doing and naturally kept messing stuff up only to be yelled at by the walking around managers for wasting product. I told them I was only trained for around 5-10 minutes and they left me to it. They didn’t care and told me to figure it out. Eventually I had to take a piss so I left my station and was in the restroom for only around 1-3 minutes as it was near by my station. Again one of the managers starts yelling at me saying how I was in there for twenty minutes which was total bs. Whatever go back to my station and part of my job was citing through some fabric. My hand slipped and I sliced my hand pretty bad. So I drop what I’m doing and go to the medkit station and emergency wash basin. Cleaning myself up because well, it’s a filthy grimy factory. I’m cleaning myself up and thankfully the sectarian office ladies were nice and they saw me and realized how bad I actually hurt myself. (Ended up needing stitches.) They’re healing me temporarily bandage stuff and offering to fill out an injury sheet. Mr. Manager walks by and starts yelling red faced how I’m away from my station again and he should fire me then and there. Luckily the office ladies stood up for me and the two of them started chewing him out for yelling at me because how bad my injury was and did he just expect me to bleed all over the product? He kind of grumbled off and stood to the side while I finished up. I was done at the point and figured I needed to visit the emergency care clinic cause fuck hospital prices lol. I thanked the ladies and walked past the manager who again started asking where the hell I was going. I told him to fuck off and find someone else, and it’s no wonder why the place was so short staffed the way they treat people. Pushed past him and walked out the door to my car and got stitches and went home.
I feel like a lot of franchise stores that are independently owned (as in, people buy the store and sign contract with company) are like that because it depends on the owner.
@@baileec496 I don't disagree with you but this store wasn't owned by the guy. They were just awesome people I worked with and I was 19. My uncle came to my work to tell me. Just wanted to point out it wasn't to be expected the way that person was treated
A bunch of my friends worked at Blockbuster in the mid-late 90s, everyone loved it because they all (management included) just wanted to be Randall from Clerks.
I quit a restaurant job on my fifth day because 1.) I wanted to be a waitress and they stuck me with a cooking job and 2.) they tried to force me to work 13-hour shifts 5-6 days a week. Nobody there seemed happy, everybody was overworked, and the head chef talked shit about his employees and customers for everyone to hear. I’ve never seen a workplace with such low morale. Every time I walk past the place now, I stick my middle finger up for the head chef to see
Same thing happened here with McDonalds. First day I didnt even get a uniform and they just put me at the back window. I think I worked there for 2 days before I decided it wasnt for me.
Hired as a forklift operator at a lumber mill. Didn't know it was gonna be a huge fork lift handling largely unsecured bundles of lumber. I felt really uncomfortable for safety issues and was looking for the supervisor to notify him that I was declining the position. Two maintenance guys happened by and asked me if I was the new forklift driver. I said no, I USED to be the new forklift driver. I quit. We all laughed.
went for a job interview at a cafe where i applied to be a cook for them. went in, place was completely empty apart from two staff chatting behind the bar and a couple sitting at a table outside. told them i was there for the interview, they passed me an apron and told me to go serve those customers, then went back to talking to the other person without saying anything else. just left the apron on the counter and got out of there.
I got a teaching job at an english school in Mexico. No experience required. My training consisted of watching a video of company policies. They expected me to teach a class the next day, and create my own teaching plan with no teaching material to work off of. I'm not a trained teacher, my only qualification was that I spoke English. I didn't show up the next day.
I was a dishwasher at a restaurant/bar and I was paid 5hr, I was 16 back then. It was a fri or sat night it was really busy and I literally had a piled up stack of dishes to wash. I also had to clean the bathrooms,and the walk in freezer. Anyway someone really F'd up the men's restroom. They pissed all over everything and smeared $hit everywhere. Painted a happy face on the wall with poop.,smeared crap all over the toilets. There was even poop on the ceiling. One of the cooks came up to me with a bucket of bleach water a whole bunch of rags,rubber gloves and a mop. He was laughing and said I had to clean the men's room. I walked in there,walked out. I said I ain't cleaning it. They said I had to. I said I ain't gotta do shit. I fuckin quit. I said I don't need this job I live at my mom's house and I'm still in high school. I snuck a bottle of booze from the bar and hopped on my bike and left. The cooks realized I was serious. One of them chased me down in his car,I didn't go back though. I got a better job at Pizza Hut a few days later.
You rock dude. I was so naive when I was young. Honestly don’t know if quitting on the spot would have occurred to me. I have a lot if respect for people who say no. It took me too many years to get to that point.
@@seattlescofflaws I worked there for about 8 months,I really couldn't take much more working at that place. The only reason I stayed there that long was. If you hit the button a bunch of times either a pack of smokes would fall out. Or I'd flick aluminum blanks in it I made in metal shop,it would refund you a dollar. Sometimes when the waitress would clear the table she wouldn't notice that she stuffed her tip in with the dishes and trash. Idk if she was blind or stupid. And on my break I'd get a free dinner. But everyone who worked there was a little off,I guess? I know the cooks did drugs. Not just pot. Sometimes they're pupils were huge. Idk what does that to you,and constantly stuttering when talking walking around like they're in a marching band. Crazy.
My sister worked at a McDonald's. My mom ended up in ICU and when my sister told them about what was going on. They tried to tell her she wasn't aloud to leave. I told her, it's McDonald's. They aren't even a real job. F them and walk out.
Needed extra cash back in the early 90's. It was in a warehouse packing CD Roms. It turned out it was porn movies. The second day the other staff start telling me horror stories about gettin paid on time or getting paid at all. I decide to quit after lunch and the manager dude starts yelling at me, telling me that I cant quit until I finish my whole shift. I was like -"DUDE, WHAT PART OF "FUCK OFF" DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?"
First ever job, dishwashing. About 20 minutes into my shift, just after they finished teaching me the very complex job of working a dishwasher and putting plates away, I noticed some red worms crawling out from under the dishwasher. I ran to the boss in the office, told her, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said, "I know.". I ran out the front door, yelling 'worms in the kitchen' to the people eating. My mom was pissed when I walked out on my first ever shift, until she found out why... we ate at that place all the time.
Many of these, had they happened in Australia, would have been a fast-track into a courtroom for the employer. And I'm not talking lawsuit (although that would probably have happened too). I'm talking criminal (felony) charges and huge fines.
HR lady showed me around the company. She stressed several times that "It didn't pay much" and that "It was a lot and really hard work." Hard work for low pay? No, thanks. I thanked her right after the tour and walked out.
16:23 reminds me of a line in the movie "coming to america": "i started off doing (something), now i'm doing fries, in 2 years i'll be assistant manager!"
I also went to one of those Cutco recruiting scams. I was stuck in a hot room with NO air-conditioning for a 4 hour "orientation". At the end of it they said we had to buy a $100 set of knives to use as our "selling kit". That's when I realized I had just wasted 4 hours of my life and left....
I stayed to be polite even after being told that I'd have to buy the knives with my own money, but just walked out when they told me that I had to find my own leads, and suggested that I start on my family.
Right after I got out of the Army but before I went to college I nearly fell for one of those Cutco marketing scams. When they said it was a door-to-door job, and you were paid on how many knives you sold, I noped out really freaking quick.
Vector Marketing - as soon as I found out I would be selling knives door to door and making cold calls to random people, I said, “fuck!” I was 18 at the time and wanted to prove to myself I was capable of making my own money while living with my parents. When they said I would have to pay $125 for a demo set, I said “fuck this”! I never went back
Started at a hotel as accounts admin. They just changed from desktop to cloud computing. Was given two day outside training so I can implement the new system. Back at work was shown my work computer. Nope no Internet. Ask boss to turn on the WiFi. He was not having it. Tried to explain that I don't have access to an army of dwarfs physically wheelbarrowing the bits and bytes into the cloud. No use 'he's not paying me to twiddle around all day on the internet' . Pulled me out of the office so I can pretend to be a guest to see which bartender is stealing. After all I have signed a work contract stating 'and any other work which might be required'. When he asked me to carry dirty dishes from the bar to the kitchen area through an unlit hallway it was finally payday. Blocked his number and walked out. Hotel was up for sale soon after
Mind you, this was the early 90's, but Chick-fil-A. First day on the job, the on-shift manager asked me what church I went to; I am not even lying about this, sadly. I don't know if it was innocent curiosity or he suspected something, because I was going through a bit of a goth phase at the time. Naive me answered honestly, "I don't. I am agnostic." Then I ask if that was going to be a problem. He does not answer, I guess because he can't outright fire me for that. What he does instead is a mixture of ghosting me when I need help and being terse when I asked questions. The quickest I ever pissed off a boss. At the end of the day, before I could apologize for not giving further notice, he wished me a half-hearted "good luck", and that was that.
@@bunnieskitties293 - That would have been awesome, but being agnostic, I can't say I am familiar with any Islamic verses. But yeah, heads would have spun that day. LOL!
After 20 minutes when no employee knew anything about me starting there at that time, including the manager. I just wasn't confident after that in their ability to organize enough to even pay me.
Be me 18. Applied at Kroger for day time stocker. Get interviewed with store manager. Guy in his mid 50s. Maintain eye contact during interview, he points It out and tells me how handsome I am. Get the job. Go to the back room to dispose of some cardboard. He spills something on himself. He takes of his shirt and reveals his hairy chest and cleans himself while looking at me. I didn’t go back after that.
Years ago I got offered a commission-only door to door sales job, told them I wasn't interested in working for free and hung up. They got another guy to call me, he basically tried to trick me into coming for an interview by using a different company name and a re-wording the job. I actually almost got to the interview, but when I got to the address I realised I had been tricked, and just kept walking.
So I had lost my previous job of 5 years, couldn't obtain any work where I was living, and had to move back in with my dad after a while. I was scouring through Craigslist to find a non-retail job, and came across two options that were both immediate hires. One was cold-calling sales, the other was picking up dog shit. I obviously went with the better option - picking up dog shit. Picking up dog shit in the end of February. I get my equipment from the dude, he gives me an address to go to, and I make my way over there. The first couple yards weren't too awful, it was cold but there wasn't too much shit to pick up. Then I get to this huge McMansion kinda place, the yard is massive and still mostly frozen over. The yard is also completely covered in frozen turds, like maybe they have never picked up any of their dog's crap at all ever. So there I am, chipping away at ice, trying to get to the frozen turds within, when I call up the dude and basically tell him "I thought I could do this, but I was wrong, I'll drop your stuff back off" and that was it. He understood, clearly that job isn't for everyone, or most people really. I ended up getting a pizza delivery job after that and it was great.
I deadass worked for vector marketing but I was a secretary instead of a salesman...The job was so stressful that I quit the first day and he wrote me a personal check for the 9 1/2 hours I worked that day.
Got hired at a jack in the box. Messed up fries, GM training me asked me if I was retarded. Didn't go back for a week. Was unaware boyfriend called and threatened to sue. Very suprised to get a please dont sue me or the store I'm sorry and an offer to keep the job open in case I decided to return. I didn't. I doubt the GM would've been any nicer on the next screw up. Yelling and demeaning your underlings is not a good way to run things. Especially for below minimum wage.
I got an interview that required a translator. As a test I translated what basicly was a ponzi scheme the company was doing with a mediator in the middle east from the computer. I noped immediately after that.
My aunt worked at a small smoothie shop at the mall when she was 16, apparently she jumped the counter an hour after she started because she hated it that much.
Had just lost a my job. Got an interview with a very popular local Pizza Parlor and another interview a major grocery store chain. Got an offer from the pizza parlor, looks really good. Went to the interview with the grocery store chain. Turns out the grocery store had 3 employees who used to work for the pizza parlor, they left due to tip theft (by the owner), employee abuse and constant late or missing pay. Don't know how they managed to make such good pizza under those conditions. Called in sick my first day and never called them again.
2 months. Every Friday, I would cover 2 phones (one for my direct Supervisor who always took Fridays off and my Department's Director who worked from home on Fridays). Sometimes, I work weekends too and my boss would give me a hard time about wanting to go home early on a weekday even though it's illegal to force people to work overtime in the USA. Did I mention I was not even paid minimum wage? I still had to live with my parents and borrowed their car to get to work. I had so much work that I didn't even have time to hydrate properly. I, literally, loss my balance twice from dehydration and exhaustion and, my boss and I didn't even noticed anything strange because we were all so overworked at this office! I didn't know I was sick until I peed blood! Sorry for the gruesome detail everyone! That was the last straw. To add insult to injury, someone drove into my parents car, leaving a dent, while I was out doing an errand for work! I left with a broken confidence and busted car🤦🏻♀️
15:30 happened here, three guys would just tour 7-Elevens about 2am, robbing them. one night they did store #3 and a guy carrying concealed objected to their pointing guns at him. killed one, critically shot another. cops caught the wheel man running down the street. duh.
At 18, I briefly worked soliciting donations door to door for an environmental research group. As a 6 foot tall young black man from the inner city, I had no luck convincing predominantly white suburban strangers to give me money. At the last door I knocked on, I was answered by an old white lady who opened the upstairs window and interrupted my scripted spiel by shouting "we don't have no negras round here!". I flipped her off and laughed hysterically as I noped off to the nearest bus stop. It was my 2nd day.
I worked at a dollar store in a small town. First job, late in life, fucked up childhood. Eager to please and eager to earn my own way in life at long last. Smaller store, 5-10 employees depending how many had quit that particular week. Manager wanted me to work through Strep Throat. Hideously contagious. I did it, managed to keep the work place sanitary enough no one reported catching it from me. But I get worse. End up being driven to a nearby clinic to be seen immediately. The doctor tells me for everyone else's sake, dont work for 2 weeks. Prescribes me powerful antibiotics. I was not capable of speech, given what I was sick with, so I text my manager I will not be in until Im recovered. She gave me a god damn write up for texting instead of calling when speaking was not within my power. I was bedridden, couldnt even play video games that day. Finding out I got a write up made me so livid with her and the anti bios made me capable of actually talking again. Went down to the store to tell her to apologize and take that write up off my record. Turns out her new boss, the new district manager, was doing his first walk of the store that morning. Could have given me a better opportunity. Told her to apologize just as they were about to leave the break room to browse the store. She said "I dont think I have anything to apologize for." Got up cut them off and told her new boss she is a terrible manager and shouldnt have lost an employee as good as me. They slowly walked back into her office to have a talk. She kept her job, but the embarrassment of her was worth losing the job over. And I was a great employee. Within 6 months they were using me as a pseudo-manager. I handled the inventory night prep, the inventory truck day. I opened the store alone once a week. I handled bank drop offs. I was the most reliable worker, the fastest freight worker. Fuck em. She deserved that wake up call. I should have put in my two weeks notice and used my 2 week doctor's note to be on their books but not able to work but I would have considered that just bad form.
Seen a few bosses like that, 100% bet she wrote you up in order to have that lovely "list" of write ups just like they have on every other employee so if you ever get uppity they can fire you. Seen it plenty of times where they do it to force you as an employee to just "accept" crap or risk being sacked.
Cutco was the only time I refused a job offer. My reason was simple: They offered me a job within 15 minutes of starting the interview. Call me paranoid but I've been to enough job interviews to know that it's never that simple. I also didn't like that the ad lied about getting steady pay and that I'd only be paid on commissions. I knew from my years of selling Girl Scout cookies that I am terrible at door to door sales and the whole "You should practice on family and friends to get more experience" line just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy seemed shady to me. He never even got to the part where I'd have to buy my own example kit, I found that out later when one of my brothers friends asked my mom if he could "practice" on her. I felt so bad for that boy but I was really proud of myself for trusting my gut on that one.
Worked for all of two days at a local real estate office here in New Jersey. First day, I spend a day moving dingy and disgusting, mildew ridden furniture into a $500 a month property meant for foreign students (where we are we get a lot of students from Kenya, and India on a count of our local university’s great STEM program). Basically cleaned out a college kid hovel, complete with moldy taco bell bags, and open stale beer cans filled with piss. After I was covered in dirt (I wore a nice polo), we head back to the office where I start training for tasks. They gave me a phone, and said “start calling these numbers”. They were leads. In New Jersey, it is illegal to perform any real estate activity without a license. When I asked them if what I was doing was okay, they said “it’s one of those things that is fine as long as you don’t say specific things or aren’t caught”. Cool. Come in the next day I’m scheduled, and find out that I am the 5th person hired for that position in the past week alone, and that the small group of employees were threatened termination if they didn’t create fake reviews on Google (place had a 4.7/5 average). Coworkers also say that owner of the business does not pay checks on time, and that they bounce consistently. Left after grabbing lunch with the people in that office. Never looked back. The kicker was that the owner took a 10 day trip to Korea on my second day, and after I emailed him a resignation/leaving letter, he called me in 5 mins flat. Worst job experience ever.
For the record, if the one where the 17 year old was involved was in the US it WAS illegal. There are one-call (like 811) requirements to find underground utilities, as well as regulations against underage people using power tools.
The first job I "noped" out of was selling Cutco knives. Instead of going door to door, you had to get your friends to tell you all their friends' names (and addresses, etc) to go visit and try to sell them knives, and then from those customers, you would get more names of people that you could visit and give your sales pitch to, over and over. I didn't want to annoy that many people. I didn't give the sales pitch to anyone, giving up on the idea immediately.
In the middle of applying position for IT lab teacher (or computer class or whatever it's called in your country). We talked about lots of things (like when school starts and ends, break hours, etc) when suddenly the interviewer told me that the school is in the middle of building a new IT labs and they need to move lots of desktop PC from the old lab to the new one... and I was expected to help carrying all those PCs and then setting them up... NOPE, that's clearly not in a teacher job desc... I'm out.
One day at an imitation crab factory in my home city. I got no training, thrown into the fire, I'm 6-3 and everyone else was 5 foot at most. They spoke ever language but english. The line is loud and hard to hear. So being yelled at in 5 different languages from people a foot shorter to me I couldn't hear or understand a damb thing
I got called in for what turned out to be CutCo. It was supposed to be a 3 day workshop and then I’d be out on my own. First day went ok and I met a really cool girl and got to know her after doing some role play (buyer/seller stuff). Second day, I started questioning things and after getting home I called back and said I wasn’t coming in for the 3rd day haha. Didn’t know what a Pyramid Scheme was but I just didn’t wanna do selling or have to pay for my own sets. The ONLY thing I regret was not getting that girls number!!!! This was almost 20 years ago.
Got offered a Job interview for temporary cleaning work. Over the phone I asked them if the position was being actually employed. They said yes, so I gave them my email to send me the details and requirements for the interview. Checked the email, said I needed $18 or so dollars for a workshirt. I then went to the Cleaning Award law on the Queensland Government site and copied and pasted regulation requiring employers to supply uniforms and replied to the email saying I won't be accepting the interview and the reason is their illegal practice of making employees pay for uniforms and pasted the section about uniforms in my email. If any company tries to get you to pay for uniform. Do not work for them.
Part time job during college working at a convenience store/deli. First 2 weeks is training, then I'm suppose to work night shift (midnight), alone. Owner told me I didn't need to fill out tax info. No breaks, not even to go to the bathroom. Lots of other violations of the law. One night left work at 10pm and guy was peeing on the wall. Lots of drunk men hung around the store. Though food was sold, more alcohol was sold then anything else. I commuted by bicycle. I'm female. I quit before the 2 week training period ended.
It must be a "young & dumb, looking for one of your 1st lobs"-thing(?). I fell for a door-to-door job scheme (can't even remember what the product was). Spent 3/4 of a day, trapped walking for miles after being driven some miles from where I reported for the day. NOT cool.
I applied at a local pizza place as a delivery driver. A single medium pizza at this place is $25. They tell me it's part time and only pays $7.25 an hour and I would be using my own car. And I was responsible for purchasing my own gasoline and I would be splitting my tips with everyone else working that day! Really? Are they going to buy me some gas? Then at the end of the shift I would help wash dishes and clean the restrooms and the dining area! Lol 😆...I'll pass. Sounds like a sorry place to work.
I know someone who got a job at a fast food restaurant, was given no training, and the shift leader was very rude and yelled at him the whole time. He quit after the 1st day.
I applied to a job with Home Depot, got hired but let them know I already had a waitress job and that this would be for the few 20 hours they needed someone for. They said that was fine and they told me when orientation was and I was working that night at the restaurant. They said it shouldn’t go past 3. the day of the orientation I let them know I was leaving early to go to my restaurant and was told that if I start working they should be my first priority and it was extremely unprofessional of me to leave early… yeah I just left.
I took a temp job at a place that packaged drugs for studies. Usually two different drugs and one of placebo. Lady said a chance to be hired permanent. Got there, talked to folks. The trainer was there three years, still a temp. Another woman finally got hired after five years as a temp. I stayed the day and quit, didn't go back. Ran into a girl from there a few months later working retail. A few months later they laid everyone off. Including the women they finally hired after five years as a temp. To get into a drug company as a worker you need about two years experience. They were betting on that but kept tossing all but the very best temps long before two years. Lousy company.
I don’t even remember the name of the company I work there may be two weeks. It was a small set up there was only like five or seven of us and we were working on cables/assembly. The first week the manager who was a girl I say girl not woman yells at this 35-year-old guy about how dumb he was for messing up I turned around and I was watching. I go back to my work shortly after and I’m just thinking my head I can’t believe this guy didn’t quit that was absolutely ridiculous no one should ever be treated that way. I think it was the beginning of the next week and I had accidentally forgot to put shrink tubing on the piece before plugging in a part but I could easily unplug them all and put the shrinking in without taking too much time. When the manager came over to check up on what I was doing right before she went to walk away she noticed this and she started screaming at me that I need to fix it and I told her yeah I know that’s exactly what I was going to do she continues yelling and I straight up tell her “I’m not going to be talked to like a child” in hindsight no one should be talked to the way that she talk to people especially children but that was my experience of parenting. After about five minutes of her yelling at me and me yelling right back looking in her eyes which I could tell she wasn’t really expecting that but she continued I start collecting my keys and she’s like “if you’re not gonna fix us and you can just leave “and I say write back “oh I can fix it but I’m choosing not to“ and then she says “well then get out of here“ at this point I have the keys in my pocket making sure that I have everything else that I brought and I say “ Way ahead of you hun” and start walking out everybody was looking I stormed out... well that also was the same day that I found out that my boyfriend at the time was giving me goat weed instead of actual weed if you don’t know what goat weed is it’s basically a natural enhancement to make you frisky... yeah it didn’t affect me that way it made me P when I didn’t want to... like in my pants… Nope out of both of those situations
Got an interview and proceeded to browse info on google about the company. I was hit with walls of text about how horrible they were to work for. Cancelled the interview via phone beforehand. Of course it was vector marketing.
There have been a number over the years but the latest was an office job at a chiropracters and all they did was harp on religion. They were Christian and played a Christian radio station, expected all their employees to go to church, give to Christian charities, always have a copy of the bible on them (in my purse since I'm a woman), I mean it was nuts. They offered me the job, I politely declined and left with the lady trailing after me asking why. I finally just said this won't be a good fit and continued to my car with her yelling bible verses at me from the building's doorway. OMG.
Tha LORDDDD almighty doth sayest thy wommen must SERVE her fellow manfolk an is a sin to defy your MASTAH. I imagine her screaming shit like that at you, even minutes after you have driven out of sight.
My old job at a shoe store wanted us to pat down our jackets/purses at the end of every shift, every break where we left the store and even for a manager stepping out for a quick smoke. My current job with expensive and super tiny video game carts/micro DS cards/collectibles just trusts us to not steal anything. It's like they're aware that we know what the cameras are there for and know that we're being watched without having us frisk one another.
I remember I responded to an ad for interviews, and when I arrived I quickly realized it was to sell Kirby carpet machines. Ad never mentioned that. I was talking shit in the 'waiting room' because I had been in this situation before. Guy called me in for interview. Immediately started rebutting my shit talking in the waiting room and told me to "get the fuck out." Still think this is a hilarious story because that is not sustainable work. Probably over 15 years ago
My friend’s family actually bought one of those Kirby’s in the late 70’s. It cost mega bucks and I knew they’d been scammed. Apparently you could even use it to spray paint your walls! That’s just what everyone wants from their vacuum cleaner!
The Fat White Elephant I seem to get a lot of phone calls about extending my car insurance when I have never owned a car. Usually I just tell them straight, but given what I heard off another AskReddit thread, maybe I could ask them which car they were referring to; when they ask you to confirm the details, tell then that since they were the ones who called me about the farm they clearly know what the car is. See how long it takes them to hang up.
i was working at a waste recycling plant as my 1st job however it was a 12 hour shift that took an hour to get there meaning i had to get up at 4 am to be ready and leave to get there at 7 am and would be home at 8 pm, that was combined with working on a conveyer belt which was incredibly nauseous and the smell was horrendous i hated it after the 1st day and wanted to leave however stayed since the 1st day might have just been a busy day however felt the same the next day so i left after that
The quickest I noped out? When the managers lied to to the owner about how many COVID cases (telling him only one case on the entire plant when 20 people contracted it) just to get a raise.
Probably the time I entered a recordkeeping position where the guy serving as my supervisor told me he had two guys before me quit, leaving him to run three multiple-story warehouses by himself. Our manager also expected me to get an entire warehouse done on my first day. Bounced after 72 hours. First and only time I've burned my bridges anywhere and to this day I still feel kind of guilty about it. This was before the pandemic hit though so I'm 80% sure they would have laid me off anyway.
Depressingly, it is not exactly rare. There are a surprising number of scumbags out there who will happily prey on girls and women too young to have much experience saying 'no'.

Lol i worked for wendys for a while was one of their best grill cooks our drive thru time was impressive even when wrapped around the building, i told them i dont do dishes, they put me on the dish sink 2 nights in a row the first night i walked out, the second night i wasnt even supposed to be on dish, walked out again when they told me to do dishes
I worked for this shitty sales job in Nashville, the company would stand in walmart stores and harass customers walking by shopping and try to talk them into gettin Xfinity. I'm a talkative person and have done sales and customer service for like ten years before I joined the Army. This was my second job after getting out and during the interview I was told I'd get a guaranteed $400/weekly, and any commissions beyond that from sales I would also keep. I drive to Nashville and surrounding areas for almost a week, after putting up with their crack headed company culture of making noise and clapping during meetings I realized it felt like I was in a cult. I decide to look for another job and then just didn't go into work. I was in the middle of doing Yardwork when I got the call and told them I was done. About a week or two later one of the girls I had worked with said that after me about 4 or 5 other people had quit too. She managed to procure my paycheck and met up with her to get it. My paycheck for almost a week of work and a total of like 50-60 hours was barely over $200. I left them a scathing review on google. The chick that gave me my check told me that when she was in a store someone that walked by ans asked if she sniffed coke as a result of her erratic behavior. Never work for Catalyst Leadership Group, they're a fucking scam.
Went to work in a factory setting through a temp agency. One guy tells me to stand and watch this machine. Soon after, another guy is ripping me a new asshole for standing there watching that machine. Stayed the day but never went back.
Group interview at popular Italian restaurant..Company was buying lunch since it would be about 3 hrs. Found out it was a MLM 30 mins after eating. I walked. 2. Rainbow vacuum. Walked soon as they asked for a list of family and friends. 3. Security company placed me at construction site on grave yard. 2 story building that I had to check both floors. No radio, dispatch never called me on cell to see if I was ok. Did this job for a couple weekends. Didn't go back my life is worth more than 8.50 hr. Yet they didn't understand why I left.
I've had more than a couple new guys just never show up for their first day. Didn't call just never showed up. I used to work with this girl. We worked at different places, restaurant maintenance and construction, and she was working one night. She was with a temp and at one point she couldn't find him. Apparently he was very anti swearing and she swore, not at him just a random frustrated fuck and he left. Didn't ask her to not swear or even tell her he was leaving. He just walked out.
Worked at a factory. They put me on a machine that was supposed to be worked by two people, and also required stacking a bunch of heavy boxes. Managers came by, started unstacking my boxes and discussing something and gave me absolutely no acknowledgement as I tried to continue my work. At the same time, I my damn co-workers giving me shit for not stacking the boxes??? Didn't bother putting a two-weeks notice in nor calling to quit. Just never went back. On top of that, most of the day was spent sitting around waiting in high temperatures. No way to pass the time. Just sit and wait, stir the roasted peanuts, sit and wait some more.
Realized it was Piramid scheme under the guise of an office sales position. I Started to walk out of orientation, the person doing the presentations just had to know where I was going so i told him and everyone else in the orientation. This is a pyramid scheme, you might make some money but not much, you will get plenty of debt.
I had an offer as a security guard at an auto plant in 1998...the pay offered was $14.50 an hour, full time which was decent money at the time. Set up an interview. It was a long drive out there and I had a 15 year old clunker car. Showed up early. Waited to be seen...a young male security guard came up and apologized to me, saying the manager told him he "forgot" that he was supposed to interview someone and that I'd have to reschedule. He then confided in me that they had a very high turnover rate there...that most people work there for two weeks, then management finds a reason to let them go. I thanked the young man for his honesty. I never rescheduled anther interview...I was angry that my time and effort was wasted like that. Later on I heard stories from people who worked there and they said it was run like a prison, you never got a break and had to constantly on your feet so I guess I dodged a bullet. 😏
Second day they asked me to move some 5 gallon cans from one shed to another, they had big radioactive signs on them and no tops on to stop the liquid splashing out..... I told them to fuck right off and clocked out and never came back.
reminds me of a story, i think it was in a different country... some people were doing something that involved pouring a radioactive liquid from one container into another. they poured too fast and caused a small chain reaction that set off a radiation alarm. everyone evacuated. they came back later and tried to pick up where they left off... alarm went off again, everyone evacuated again. then a janitor or a security guard decided to pour the ENTIRE BOTTLE DOWN A REGULAR DRAIN. BIG chain reaction, he got a fatal dose, the entire room was unusable for weeks.
Noped out of my last job after it became clear I was just an office assistant that was there to pick up the slack of the other employees. That's not what I was told the job was. The manager would run out of work for me then accuse me of being lazy. I think her menopause got the better of her loony ass. Didn't bother with a 2 week notice, they didn't deserve the effort.
My husband noped out of a job the first day when he found out it wasn't just driving he would be doing but also loading the truck with no safety equipment and for significantly less pay than they advertised.
I didn't even make it past the job interview. My wife was finishing college to be a phlebotomist. I needed a basic 40 hour a week job that I could quit when we knew where my wife's career choice would take us. I put in for several jobs and got called in for an interview at a gas station. The boss was a 40ish year old woman and I swear I must have been in trouble before I walked through the door. She didn't ask me questions or discuss what my duties would be. Instead she starts listing off the different F up's I wouldn't be allowed to do then she started talking about how the micromanaging owner of the station likes to make surprise checks. If they found anything wrong they would yell at her and since s--t rolls down hill she would be yelling at whoever messed up. Seeing the writing on the wall I ended the interview by saying "I don't think this job is for me, thank you for the consideration". She didn't like that and started telling me how I would never work there and I wouldn't keep jobs long with my attitude. I just walked out as she was lecturing me like I actually worked there.
Got an interview with a popular and semifancy cinema where the gimmick is that you can order food like a restaurant to eat while you watch. Was promised full time work with good pay plus tips. Went in when they asked me to for the next part of the process. Waited for an hour to be told to come by another day. Came on that day. Waited for an hour to decide that they were obviously too busy for me and said we could reschedule. Finally got to sign the paper work on the third time. Keep in mind that this was a half hour bus ride for me to get to and from this place, so I wasted a lot of time waiting to finally be hired. I ended up missing orientation (my fault, it was very early morning and I'm not a morning person so slept in) and came in for my first shift a few days later. I was there for three hours (didn't leave early, that's just how long they wanted to train us for the first day.) During that time, our trainer made it clear that she didn't know exactly what it was she was supposed to be teaching us and kept having to find the manager's for advice and immediately dropped a tray of cups filled with ice onto the floor when showing how to deliver dishes to the theater rooms. Not her fault, but kind of immediately discouraging. Had to learn a bunch of rules on the spot and was basically thrown right into it after a little instruction. Very stressful work. Now, all of that stuff on the first day? Stressful, but I was willing to put up with it since I was sure I would adapt with enough practice. Well, then there were a lot of other things. On top of the managers leaving me hanging several times as previously mentioned (like, forgot that I was coming entirely and then wouldn't even take time to say anything, just leaving me sitting in the lobby and forgetting about me,) they also sent me the login information of the other two people they hired but DIDN'T send them their own login info. Concerning. The nail in the coffin was when I put my availability into the system, the person who did scheduling immediately asked me who interviewed me because with the hours I was giving them, they could only give me 10 hours a week. Also the way the schedule worked was they told you when to come in but not when you could leave. They said they would explain how that worked on my first real shift, which I never came in to. Now, the reason I was looking at this place was because the place I was working at, a grocery store, had been cutting my (and everyone else's) hours, so I was making basically no money. I was scheduled to go in to my first real shift at the cinema on Friday. While I was considering quitting, my current job asked me if I could cover a shift on Friday. You can guess which job I decided to go to that day. Adding on to the incompetent management thing, when I sent an email saying that I had decided the job wasn't for me and that I wouldn't be coming in again, the manager responded with basically "Okay, see you on Friday!" After that I started getting better hours at my current job again, then a few months later I got a promotion so I'm still there and plenty happy with it.
Was told a place my aunt was working at was always looking for new hires, decided to check it out and got an interview. Things were going well until he brought up work shifts. 4 on 3 off, 12hour days, okay. open 24/7 so they switched shifts from day too night shifts. That's not very welcoming... Top it off, in those 4 days, 2 were day, 2 were night. Yeah, those 3 days wern't to set your sleep schedule, you had to flip your sleep schedule on it's head in literally 36hours and be ready to do 12 hour shifts. Called two days later and told them I was given a better opportunity elsewhere, didn't wanna upset my aunt. Seriously though, wtf is that shift scheduling?!
OH!!! The babysitting one reminded me of this guy that put out a thing on Craigslist for something expected of men but with previous training I knew how to do and was fully capable of doing... it’s only 25ft away from my house. I walk over and it’s a house with a big garage and guys are already working in there. So yay it’s legit. I go in the house for an interview with this old guy his wife is there cleaning the kitchen. he tells me that the job was a little different for what I have experience with and the stuff is heavier but he has something else that he needs done and it would pay the same. At the time I just needed money and I was A little more naïve than I am now. It was cleaning a room and painting it. I when dumb after hearing painting because I love painting rooms. So I went home excited to work the next day. He tells me the next day that he’s too busy with the guys in the garage to show me what to do so to come back I think it was around like 430 so not too late. But it was that time of year where it gets dark at like five. So I head over and within 10 minutes I am told that he’s too tired and that maybe we could just watch TV for a little bit and then go clean up. OK cool whatever I sit there and I’m texting people while having a conversation with him. And I’m starting to feel a bit weird I start to realize that I came for a completely different job then I was given a different job and we’re not even doing that job yet but I continue to sit and wait. Then once it started getting dark and creepy because none of the lights were on in his house and I didn’t see his wife anywhere like she never came in the room or anything. He gets up off The La-Z-Boy and comes over to the couch where I was and he moves my hair back which at this point I’m just like yeah I’m getting the f*** out of here he starts talking about my tattoo on my neck and how it was really cute (it’s a squirtle) I got up soon after and thankfully was allowed to walk out of the house ... I walked home and called my boyfriend
The second job I "noped" out of was a job driving vans. Sounds reasonable, right? Except it was driving vans from one set of train tracks to another, basically picking up the crew of a train, taking them from one location to another, which might be a short trip or it might be a four hour trip. Still, that's not so bad, right? Except that workers on a train work crazy hours. Their train might take them to some out of the way location at 2 AM and you have to go pick them up at 2 AM. And then maybe you have to drive them four hours away. And that would be fine, if it was on a schedule, right? Except there was no schedule. You were on call, all day, every day (you got one day off a week, which couldn't be on the weekends, except I was special and got Saturday off). On any given day, you had no idea if you were going to work that day. When you went to sleep, you had no idea if you would be called in to work at 2 AM or not. You couldn't ever go do anything (like see a movie) because you were on call and you were not allowed to tell them that you couldn't come when you were called (if you did it twice, you were fired, apparently). And the pay was complete garbage. Oh, and there was one more garbage rule: you were supposed to keep your van clean... after you drove it home and were off the clock. You were supposed to do a ton of work without pay? F*** that! After two weeks, I quit... which meant giving them my two week notice, which meant I worked for them just as long after I quit as I did before I quit.
@Kevin Counihan Basically yes. I mean, the van driving company had a connection with Union Pacific, but I wasn't directly employed by Union Pacific. We would only go from a Union Pacific train to another. Oh, except one time I was called out to go to another company's train headquarters. And that was a disaster for several reasons. When we were called and given our orders (by a machine), we weren't given any kind of instructions on where to go. Instead, the rule was that we had to call someone (our superior or another worker who had been there longer) to find out how to get to this place. (We should've had GPS in our vans or something, but we didn't.) So, when I got the instructions, I followed them and went to an NTSB train place and waited for the train workers who needed a ride to show up. Nobody showed up. Eventually I got called again, with the desperate train workers thinking I hadn't shown up. I had shown up, but to the wrong place. I wasn't supposed to go to the NTSB place but to a third train company's place (I've forgotten which one now). This job was such a clusterfuck.
I was doing an electrical remodel of a plant. The foreman sent me up to the penthouse(elevator room) to install an outlet. I get up there, open the door and walk in. I close the door and on the back there's a sign, caution asbestos, do not disturb. The building manager comes in and tells me he wants a plug on one of the walls. The panel is buried in at least six inches of asbestos and I'd have to clean it away to run a pipe out of the panel. Then clear a path along the wall, down a wall and mount a box to the wall. All of it having to have a path cleared. When he got through telling me what he wanted I said no I'm not doing that. See the sign on the door. He got all huffy and said well if you won't do it I'll get someone else. I said fine and walked out. I don't think it was safe to even be in the room without a respirator and protective clothing.
I went to a job interview for a job that I’m pretty sure was advertised as a customer service position. I was in a group interview with two other women, and it quickly seemed like this job was basically being handed to me. But I then learned that it was for a door to door sales position, where I would only be earning commission. As soon as the interviewer asked me if I wanted the job I turned it down. Didn’t seem worth it. The other two took it though, probably because looking for work with a work visa is very difficult. I somehow lasted a month in a telemarketing gig once before being fired. I know that kind of outbound sales work is pretty rough.
I quit my 3rd night as a dishwasher. I was 17 and just out of high school. I ended up being there until 1AM for all 3 nights (the head chef took forever to clean). I told the other dishwasher that he wouldn't have any help this weekend, and I never came back.
Got a job at a newly built cinema. They were about to open but needed staff. Applied, got hired, went to their 7 hour orientation, which was mostly a boring safety PowerPoint. I walked in not knowing what my job was, and 7 hours later, I walked out with a raging headache, a rumbling stomach, and I still had no idea what my job was! So I came home, took a nap that ended up to be 15 hours and thought 'yea this ain't it' Turns out training wasn't gonna be for another month, which worked out for me seeing as I had a trip booked, so I took my trip, came back, found another job, and quit that one. Good people, it just didn't work out. A few months later I was talking to my friend who's kid also worked there, turns out everyone got furloughed and the place was being run by managers only. Tldr: my cinema job ended before the doors even opened.
Having an untrained person handling emergency calls alone seems at minimum negligence bordering on recklessness.
Thats grounds to call the real 911
@@Ambipie The real 911 was calling *them*.

Any job that makes you choice between them or family, isn't a job worth keeping
I big time agree
yup. worked for years at city transit bus. father's wife rolled the cadi 6 times crushed to death. daddy had a stroke and heart attack when he was told. i was 1000 miles from the company, dealing with attorney, real estate, and my emotionally wrecked father. the only consideration from HRT? we're looking for you to be here today...when i got back, i walked in and dropped my transit ID off with the dispatcher, shoved my union card into the bitchbox, and NOPE. bus companies suck, whether greyhound, federal, contract/tour, or local transit. it's a slave-trade.
Especially if it's an easily replaceable job.
True, but I’ve worked with way too many more people than there should be that would lie about their kids being sick just because they were hungover or just didn’t want to work that day so I KINDA get the asshole managers POV. I knew when they came back, I asked how the kiddos were doing and then they’d talk about the fun night two nights ago
EVERY job makes you choose money over family.
Why is it always the crappy, not important jobs that always can't spare you while your father may be dying a block away?
Unfortunately, it's one of those things where the standards are low everywhere. You probably have little to no work experience and thus are easily replaceable. On the other hand those jobs are a dime a dozen too. From what I've gathered they try to make everything sound incredibly important to squeeze out as much as they can from you before you take off for whatever reason. Sometimes I think even mid management doesn't realize how hard they're getting fucked either.
This reminds me of my crappy, but very important job. I’m a CNA working in a nursing home. One of my coworkers, who has been there for as long as i’ve been alive (no joke, 18 years) recently needed to take off for her aunts funeral. They denied her but didn’t call in any of our PRN staff, or me, who mostly always picks up shifts for people. They literally forced her to skip her aunts funeral just because they didn’t want to call anyone in.
That sucks....!
@@Jordan-gb3yr pretty sure she could’ve gotten them into some deep shit . Plus they are supposed to have FBLA and bereavement leave for situations like funerals so they not only suck for her dedication to them but could have a law suit on their hands . Companies that refuse to be more than accommodating to their employees aren’t someone who you’d want to be employed with. That’s unacceptable for them to refuse her days off for a funeral. Sooo selfish and not showing her their appreciation.
Because low paying jobs don't see employees as even human. They're just labor machines and thats it
Walked out halfway through the day. I got there at a new factory job. They gave me maybe a 5 minute fast as hell rundown of what to do because they were so low staffed and the guy training me had to not only train other people, but go and do his own job after all that. I barely understood what I was doing and naturally kept messing stuff up only to be yelled at by the walking around managers for wasting product. I told them I was only trained for around 5-10 minutes and they left me to it. They didn’t care and told me to figure it out. Eventually I had to take a piss so I left my station and was in the restroom for only around 1-3 minutes as it was near by my station. Again one of the managers starts yelling at me saying how I was in there for twenty minutes which was total bs. Whatever go back to my station and part of my job was citing through some fabric. My hand slipped and I sliced my hand pretty bad. So I drop what I’m doing and go to the medkit station and emergency wash basin. Cleaning myself up because well, it’s a filthy grimy factory. I’m cleaning myself up and thankfully the sectarian office ladies were nice and they saw me and realized how bad I actually hurt myself. (Ended up needing stitches.) They’re healing me temporarily bandage stuff and offering to fill out an injury sheet. Mr. Manager walks by and starts yelling red faced how I’m away from my station again and he should fire me then and there. Luckily the office ladies stood up for me and the two of them started chewing him out for yelling at me because how bad my injury was and did he just expect me to bleed all over the product? He kind of grumbled off and stood to the side while I finished up. I was done at the point and figured I needed to visit the emergency care clinic cause fuck hospital prices lol. I thanked the ladies and walked past the manager who again started asking where the hell I was going. I told him to fuck off and find someone else, and it’s no wonder why the place was so short staffed the way they treat people. Pushed past him and walked out the door to my car and got stitches and went home.
Blockbuster was great to me when my Dad died for the record. Offered time off as long as I needed it. I loved my job and my coworkers.
I feel like a lot of franchise stores that are independently owned (as in, people buy the store and sign contract with company) are like that because it depends on the owner.
@@baileec496 I don't disagree with you but this store wasn't owned by the guy. They were just awesome people I worked with and I was 19. My uncle came to my work to tell me. Just wanted to point out it wasn't to be expected the way that person was treated
A bunch of my friends worked at Blockbuster in the mid-late 90s, everyone loved it because they all (management included) just wanted to be Randall from Clerks.

I quit a restaurant job on my fifth day because 1.) I wanted to be a waitress and they stuck me with a cooking job and 2.) they tried to force me to work 13-hour shifts 5-6 days a week. Nobody there seemed happy, everybody was overworked, and the head chef talked shit about his employees and customers for everyone to hear. I’ve never seen a workplace with such low morale. Every time I walk past the place now, I stick my middle finger up for the head chef to see
I flip off an old employer every time I drive by😀
Walked out of Wendy’s in less than 2 hours, didn’t even try to train me, they put me on the back window alone on my very first day
Celena Hickman happened to me at a CVS Pharmacy store. They just put me at a cash register I didn’t even know how to use.

Same thing happened here with McDonalds. First day I didnt even get a uniform and they just put me at the back window. I think I worked there for 2 days before I decided it wasnt for me.

Hired as a forklift operator at a lumber mill. Didn't know it was gonna be a huge fork lift handling largely unsecured bundles of lumber. I felt really uncomfortable for safety issues and was looking for the supervisor to notify him that I was declining the position. Two maintenance guys happened by and asked me if I was the new forklift driver. I said no, I USED to be the new forklift driver. I quit. We all laughed.
went for a job interview at a cafe where i applied to be a cook for them. went in, place was completely empty apart from two staff chatting behind the bar and a couple sitting at a table outside. told them i was there for the interview, they passed me an apron and told me to go serve those customers, then went back to talking to the other person without saying anything else.
just left the apron on the counter and got out of there.
Wtf
That's not a company that's just people standing around and if you talk to them they'll give you an article of clothing.
Inspecting aluminum sheets. Eight hours of just staring at a continuous roll of metal. Lasted one shift.
PumpJack McGee Literally watching paint dry! 😂🤣xD
I'll take that job! I would daydream to my heart's content.
I got a teaching job at an english school in Mexico. No experience required. My training consisted of watching a video of company policies. They expected me to teach a class the next day, and create my own teaching plan with no teaching material to work off of. I'm not a trained teacher, my only qualification was that I spoke English. I didn't show up the next day.
I was a dishwasher at a restaurant/bar and I was paid 5hr, I was 16 back then. It was a fri or sat night it was really busy and I literally had a piled up stack of dishes to wash. I also had to clean the bathrooms,and the walk in freezer. Anyway someone really F'd up the men's restroom. They pissed all over everything and smeared $hit everywhere. Painted a happy face on the wall with poop.,smeared crap all over the toilets. There was even poop on the ceiling. One of the cooks came up to me with a bucket of bleach water a whole bunch of rags,rubber gloves and a mop. He was laughing and said I had to clean the men's room. I walked in there,walked out. I said I ain't cleaning it. They said I had to. I said I ain't gotta do shit. I fuckin quit. I said I don't need this job I live at my mom's house and I'm still in high school. I snuck a bottle of booze from the bar and hopped on my bike and left. The cooks realized I was serious. One of them chased me down in his car,I didn't go back though. I got a better job at Pizza Hut a few days later.
You rock dude. I was so naive when I was young. Honestly don’t know if quitting on the spot would have occurred to me. I have a lot if respect for people who say no. It took me too many years to get to that point.
@@seattlescofflaws I worked there for about 8 months,I really couldn't take much more working at that place. The only reason I stayed there that long was. If you hit the button a bunch of times either a pack of smokes would fall out. Or I'd flick aluminum blanks in it I made in metal shop,it would refund you a dollar. Sometimes when the waitress would clear the table she wouldn't notice that she stuffed her tip in with the dishes and trash. Idk if she was blind or stupid. And on my break I'd get a free dinner. But everyone who worked there was a little off,I guess? I know the cooks did drugs. Not just pot. Sometimes they're pupils were huge. Idk what does that to you,and constantly stuttering when talking walking around like they're in a marching band. Crazy.
My sister worked at a McDonald's. My mom ended up in ICU and when my sister told them about what was going on. They tried to tell her she wasn't aloud to leave. I told her, it's McDonald's. They aren't even a real job. F them and walk out.
Needed extra cash back in the early 90's. It was in a warehouse packing CD Roms. It turned out it was porn movies. The second day the other staff start telling me horror stories about gettin paid on time or getting paid at all. I decide to quit after lunch and the manager dude starts yelling at me, telling me that I cant quit until I finish my whole shift. I was like -"DUDE, WHAT PART OF "FUCK OFF" DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?"
He only understood one definition of "fuck," and that was the one on the CDs.
First ever job, dishwashing. About 20 minutes into my shift, just after they finished teaching me the very complex job of working a dishwasher and putting plates away, I noticed some red worms crawling out from under the dishwasher. I ran to the boss in the office, told her, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said, "I know.".
I ran out the front door, yelling 'worms in the kitchen' to the people eating. My mom was pissed when I walked out on my first ever shift, until she found out why... we ate at that place all the time.

Damn that was a long meal, whatd he get?

Many of these, had they happened in Australia, would have been a fast-track into a courtroom for the employer. And I'm not talking lawsuit (although that would probably have happened too). I'm talking criminal (felony) charges and huge fines.
HR lady showed me around the company.
She stressed several times that "It didn't pay much" and that "It was a lot and really hard work."
Hard work for low pay? No, thanks. I thanked her right after the tour and walked out.
16:23 reminds me of a line in the movie "coming to america":
"i started off doing (something), now i'm doing fries, in 2 years i'll be assistant manager!"
I also went to one of those Cutco recruiting scams. I was stuck in a hot room with NO air-conditioning for a 4 hour "orientation". At the end of it they said we had to buy a $100 set of knives to use as our "selling kit". That's when I realized I had just wasted 4 hours of my life and left....
I stayed to be polite even after being told that I'd have to buy the knives with my own money, but just walked out when they told me that I had to find my own leads, and suggested that I start on my family.
Right after I got out of the Army but before I went to college I nearly fell for one of those Cutco marketing scams. When they said it was a door-to-door job, and you were paid on how many knives you sold, I noped out really freaking quick.
I was an receptionist but end up doing billing as well so the billing clerk making 3 times what I made could crochet.
*sigh, you're a smart woman. Sadly, this is common abuse in a lot of companies because most people desperately NEED jobs.
Vector Marketing - as soon as I found out I would be selling knives door to door and making cold calls to random people, I said, “fuck!” I was 18 at the time and wanted to prove to myself I was capable of making my own money while living with my parents. When they said I would have to pay $125 for a demo set, I said “fuck this”! I never went back
Started at a hotel as accounts admin. They just changed from desktop to cloud computing. Was given two day outside training so I can implement the new system. Back at work was shown my work computer. Nope no Internet. Ask boss to turn on the WiFi. He was not having it. Tried to explain that I don't have access to an army of dwarfs physically wheelbarrowing the bits and bytes into the cloud. No use 'he's not paying me to twiddle around all day on the internet' . Pulled me out of the office so I can pretend to be a guest to see which bartender is stealing. After all I have signed a work contract stating 'and any other work which might be required'. When he asked me to carry dirty dishes from the bar to the kitchen area through an unlit hallway it was finally payday. Blocked his number and walked out. Hotel was up for sale soon after

I lost my brother-in-law just yesterday to a heart attack.. I'd like to go back in time and slap the hell out of that manager...RIP Duane💔
Mind you, this was the early 90's, but Chick-fil-A. First day on the job, the on-shift manager asked me what church I went to; I am not even lying about this, sadly. I don't know if it was innocent curiosity or he suspected something, because I was going through a bit of a goth phase at the time. Naive me answered honestly, "I don't. I am agnostic." Then I ask if that was going to be a problem. He does not answer, I guess because he can't outright fire me for that. What he does instead is a mixture of ghosting me when I need help and being terse when I asked questions. The quickest I ever pissed off a boss. At the end of the day, before I could apologize for not giving further notice, he wished me a half-hearted "good luck", and that was that.

After 20 minutes when no employee knew anything about me starting there at that time, including the manager. I just wasn't confident after that in their ability to organize enough to even pay me.
Be me 18. Applied at Kroger for day time stocker. Get interviewed with store manager. Guy in his mid 50s. Maintain eye contact during interview, he points It out and tells me how handsome I am. Get the job. Go to the back room to dispose of some cardboard. He spills something on himself. He takes of his shirt and reveals his hairy chest and cleans himself while looking at me.

Years ago I got offered a commission-only door to door sales job, told them I wasn't interested in working for free and hung up. They got another guy to call me, he basically tried to trick me into coming for an interview by using a different company name and a re-wording the job. I actually almost got to the interview, but when I got to the address I realised I had been tricked, and just kept walking.
So I had lost my previous job of 5 years, couldn't obtain any work where I was living, and had to move back in with my dad after a while. I was scouring through Craigslist to find a non-retail job, and came across two options that were both immediate hires.
One was cold-calling sales, the other was picking up dog shit. I obviously went with the better option - picking up dog shit. Picking up dog shit in the end of February.
I get my equipment from the dude, he gives me an address to go to, and I make my way over there. The first couple yards weren't too awful, it was cold but there wasn't too much shit to pick up.
Then I get to this huge McMansion kinda place, the yard is massive and still mostly frozen over. The yard is also completely covered in frozen turds, like maybe they have never picked up any of their dog's crap at all ever. So there I am, chipping away at ice, trying to get to the frozen turds within, when I call up the dude and basically tell him "I thought I could do this, but I was wrong, I'll drop your stuff back off" and that was it. He understood, clearly that job isn't for everyone, or most people really. I ended up getting a pizza delivery job after that and it was great.
Shit jobs either way...
Sorry for the pun...
I'll see myself out.
“I obviously went for the better option.”
- They had us on the first half, not gonna lie.
Im rolling over here😆😆😆
I deadass worked for vector marketing but I was a secretary instead of a salesman...The job was so stressful that I quit the first day and he wrote me a personal check for the 9 1/2 hours I worked that day.
Got hired at a jack in the box. Messed up fries, GM training me asked me if I was retarded. Didn't go back for a week. Was unaware boyfriend called and threatened to sue. Very suprised to get a please dont sue me or the store I'm sorry and an offer to keep the job open in case I decided to return. I didn't. I doubt the GM would've been any nicer on the next screw up. Yelling and demeaning your underlings is not a good way to run things. Especially for below minimum wage.
I got an interview that required a translator. As a test I translated what basicly was a ponzi scheme the company was doing with a mediator in the middle east from the computer. I noped immediately after that.

What genius have only one chef on super bowl Sunday?
Had just lost a my job.
Got an interview with a very popular local Pizza Parlor and another interview a major grocery store chain.
Got an offer from the pizza parlor, looks really good.
Went to the interview with the grocery store chain.
Turns out the grocery store had 3 employees who used to work for the pizza parlor, they left due to tip theft (by the owner), employee abuse and constant late or missing pay.
Don't know how they managed to make such good pizza under those conditions.
Called in sick my first day and never called them again.
2 months. Every Friday, I would cover 2 phones (one for my direct Supervisor who always took Fridays off and my Department's Director who worked from home on Fridays). Sometimes, I work weekends too and my boss would give me a hard time about wanting to go home early on a weekday even though it's illegal to force people to work overtime in the USA. Did I mention I was not even paid minimum wage? I still had to live with my parents and borrowed their car to get to work. I had so much work that I didn't even have time to hydrate properly. I, literally, loss my balance twice from dehydration and exhaustion and, my boss and I didn't even noticed anything strange because we were all so overworked at this office! I didn't know I was sick until I peed blood! Sorry for the gruesome detail everyone! That was the last straw. To add insult to injury, someone drove into my parents car, leaving a dent, while I was out doing an errand for work! I left with a broken confidence and busted car🤦🏻♀️
Overwork can literally kill, and some employers hardly care whether you live or die.

I was offered a management position but I hoped out because I've seen people with same shift walking in at 9pm and left at 11am-12pm noon
15:30 happened here, three guys would just tour 7-Elevens about 2am, robbing them. one night they did store #3 and a guy carrying concealed objected to their pointing guns at him. killed one, critically shot another. cops caught the wheel man running down the street. duh.
Sniff..... I love happy endings.
At 18, I briefly worked soliciting donations door to door for an environmental research group. As a 6 foot tall young black man from the inner city, I had no luck convincing predominantly white suburban strangers to give me money. At the last door I knocked on, I was answered by an old white lady who opened the upstairs window and interrupted my scripted spiel by shouting "we don't have no negras round here!". I flipped her off and laughed hysterically as I noped off to the nearest bus stop. It was my 2nd day.
I worked at a dollar store in a small town. First job, late in life, fucked up childhood. Eager to please and eager to earn my own way in life at long last. Smaller store, 5-10 employees depending how many had quit that particular week.
Manager wanted me to work through Strep Throat. Hideously contagious. I did it, managed to keep the work place sanitary enough no one reported catching it from me. But I get worse. End up being driven to a nearby clinic to be seen immediately. The doctor tells me for everyone else's sake, dont work for 2 weeks. Prescribes me powerful antibiotics. I was not capable of speech, given what I was sick with, so I text my manager I will not be in until Im recovered.
She gave me a god damn write up for texting instead of calling when speaking was not within my power. I was bedridden, couldnt even play video games that day. Finding out I got a write up made me so livid with her and the anti bios made me capable of actually talking again. Went down to the store to tell her to apologize and take that write up off my record. Turns out her new boss, the new district manager, was doing his first walk of the store that morning. Could have given me a better opportunity.
Told her to apologize just as they were about to leave the break room to browse the store. She said "I dont think I have anything to apologize for." Got up cut them off and told her new boss she is a terrible manager and shouldnt have lost an employee as good as me. They slowly walked back into her office to have a talk. She kept her job, but the embarrassment of her was worth losing the job over.
And I was a great employee. Within 6 months they were using me as a pseudo-manager. I handled the inventory night prep, the inventory truck day. I opened the store alone once a week. I handled bank drop offs. I was the most reliable worker, the fastest freight worker. Fuck em. She deserved that wake up call. I should have put in my two weeks notice and used my 2 week doctor's note to be on their books but not able to work but I would have considered that just bad form.
Seen a few bosses like that, 100% bet she wrote you up in order to have that lovely "list" of write ups just like they have on every other employee so if you ever get uppity they can fire you. Seen it plenty of times where they do it to force you as an employee to just "accept" crap or risk being sacked.
Cutco was the only time I refused a job offer. My reason was simple: They offered me a job within 15 minutes of starting the interview. Call me paranoid but I've been to enough job interviews to know that it's never that simple. I also didn't like that the ad lied about getting steady pay and that I'd only be paid on commissions. I knew from my years of selling Girl Scout cookies that I am terrible at door to door sales and the whole "You should practice on family and friends to get more experience" line just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy seemed shady to me. He never even got to the part where I'd have to buy my own example kit, I found that out later when one of my brothers friends asked my mom if he could "practice" on her. I felt so bad for that boy but I was really proud of myself for trusting my gut on that one.
"I'm not Hazmat certified and noped the fuck out." I'll use this if someone does a poop at where I work.
I will never go to an interview without knowing what job I'll be doing. That bait and switch should be illegal.
Worked for all of two days at a local real estate office here in New Jersey. First day, I spend a day moving dingy and disgusting, mildew ridden furniture into a $500 a month property meant for foreign students (where we are we get a lot of students from Kenya, and India on a count of our local university’s great STEM program). Basically cleaned out a college kid hovel, complete with moldy taco bell bags, and open stale beer cans filled with piss.
After I was covered in dirt (I wore a nice polo), we head back to the office where I start training for tasks. They gave me a phone, and said “start calling these numbers”. They were leads. In New Jersey, it is illegal to perform any real estate activity without a license. When I asked them if what I was doing was okay, they said “it’s one of those things that is fine as long as you don’t say specific things or aren’t caught”.
Cool. Come in the next day I’m scheduled, and find out that I am the 5th person hired for that position in the past week alone, and that the small group of employees were threatened termination if they didn’t create fake reviews on Google (place had a 4.7/5 average). Coworkers also say that owner of the business does not pay checks on time, and that they bounce consistently. Left after grabbing lunch with the people in that office. Never looked back.
The kicker was that the owner took a 10 day trip to Korea on my second day, and after I emailed him a resignation/leaving letter, he called me in 5 mins flat.
Worst job experience ever.
For the record, if the one where the 17 year old was involved was in the US it WAS illegal. There are one-call (like 811) requirements to find underground utilities, as well as regulations against underage people using power tools.
The first job I "noped" out of was selling Cutco knives. Instead of going door to door, you had to get your friends to tell you all their friends' names (and addresses, etc) to go visit and try to sell them knives, and then from those customers, you would get more names of people that you could visit and give your sales pitch to, over and over. I didn't want to annoy that many people. I didn't give the sales pitch to anyone, giving up on the idea immediately.
Door to door probably would have been easier.
Me too! Went to the bathroom and never came back
I left after one day because I was in high school and they wanted me to work like 50 hours a week.
I walked out of working at burger king after four hours since the boss was so grouchy and rude.
In the middle of applying position for IT lab teacher (or computer class or whatever it's called in your country). We talked about lots of things (like when school starts and ends, break hours, etc) when suddenly the interviewer told me that the school is in the middle of building a new IT labs and they need to move lots of desktop PC from the old lab to the new one... and I was expected to help carrying all those PCs and then setting them up...
NOPE, that's clearly not in a teacher job desc... I'm out.
One day at an imitation crab factory in my home city.
I got no training, thrown into the fire, I'm 6-3 and everyone else was 5 foot at most. They spoke ever language but english. The line is loud and hard to hear. So being yelled at in 5 different languages from people a foot shorter to me I couldn't hear or understand a damb thing
I got called in for what turned out to be CutCo. It was supposed to be a 3 day workshop and then I’d be out on my own. First day went ok and I met a really cool girl and got to know her after doing some role play (buyer/seller stuff). Second day, I started questioning things and after getting home I called back and said I wasn’t coming in for the 3rd day haha. Didn’t know what a Pyramid Scheme was but I just didn’t wanna do selling or have to pay for my own sets. The ONLY thing I regret was not getting that girls number!!!! This was almost 20 years ago.
Got offered a Job interview for temporary cleaning work. Over the phone I asked them if the position was being actually employed. They said yes, so I gave them my email to send me the details and requirements for the interview. Checked the email, said I needed $18 or so dollars for a workshirt. I then went to the Cleaning Award law on the Queensland Government site and copied and pasted regulation requiring employers to supply uniforms and replied to the email saying I won't be accepting the interview and the reason is their illegal practice of making employees pay for uniforms and pasted the section about uniforms in my email.
If any company tries to get you to pay for uniform. Do not work for them.
Part time job during college working at a convenience store/deli. First 2 weeks is training, then I'm suppose to work night shift (midnight), alone. Owner told me I didn't need to fill out tax info. No breaks, not even to go to the bathroom. Lots of other violations of the law. One night left work at 10pm and guy was peeing on the wall. Lots of drunk men hung around the store. Though food was sold, more alcohol was sold then anything else. I commuted by bicycle. I'm female. I quit before the 2 week training period ended.
It must be a "young & dumb, looking for one of your 1st lobs"-thing(?). I fell for a door-to-door job scheme (can't even remember what the product was). Spent 3/4 of a day, trapped walking for miles after being driven some miles from where I reported for the day.
NOT cool.
Two days after pollinating corn in the midwest during a college summer break. Allergies kicked in, eyes swollen shut.
I applied at a local pizza place as a delivery driver. A single medium pizza at this place is $25. They tell me it's part time and only pays $7.25 an hour and I would be using my own car. And I was responsible for purchasing my own gasoline and I would be splitting my tips with everyone else working that day! Really? Are they going to buy me some gas? Then at the end of the shift I would help wash dishes and clean the restrooms and the dining area! Lol 😆...I'll pass. Sounds like a sorry place to work.
I know someone who got a job at a fast food restaurant, was given no training, and the shift leader was very rude and yelled at him the whole time. He quit after the 1st day.
I applied to a job with Home Depot, got hired but let them know I already had a waitress job and that this would be for the few 20 hours they needed someone for. They said that was fine and they told me when orientation was and I was working that night at the restaurant. They said it shouldn’t go past 3. the day of the orientation I let them know I was leaving early to go to my restaurant and was told that if I start working they should be my first priority and it was extremely unprofessional of me to leave early… yeah I just left.
I took a temp job at a place that packaged drugs for studies. Usually two different drugs and one of placebo. Lady said a chance to be hired permanent.
Got there, talked to folks. The trainer was there three years, still a temp. Another woman finally got hired after five years as a temp. I stayed the day and quit, didn't go back.
Ran into a girl from there a few months later working retail. A few months later they laid everyone off. Including the women they finally hired after five years as a temp.
To get into a drug company as a worker you need about two years experience. They were betting on that but kept tossing all but the very best temps long before two years. Lousy company.
I don’t even remember the name of the company I work there may be two weeks. It was a small set up there was only like five or seven of us and we were working on cables/assembly. The first week the manager who was a girl I say girl not woman yells at this 35-year-old guy about how dumb he was for messing up I turned around and I was watching. I go back to my work shortly after and I’m just thinking my head I can’t believe this guy didn’t quit that was absolutely ridiculous no one should ever be treated that way. I think it was the beginning of the next week and I had accidentally forgot to put shrink tubing on the piece before plugging in a part but I could easily unplug them all and put the shrinking in without taking too much time. When the manager came over to check up on what I was doing right before she went to walk away she noticed this and she started screaming at me that I need to fix it and I told her yeah I know that’s exactly what I was going to do she continues yelling and I straight up tell her “I’m not going to be talked to like a child” in hindsight no one should be talked to the way that she talk to people especially children but that was my experience of parenting. After about five minutes of her yelling at me and me yelling right back looking in her eyes which I could tell she wasn’t really expecting that but she continued I start collecting my keys and she’s like “if you’re not gonna fix us and you can just leave “and I say write back “oh I can fix it but I’m choosing not to“ and then she says “well then get out of here“ at this point I have the keys in my pocket making sure that I have everything else that I brought and I say “ Way ahead of you hun” and start walking out everybody was looking I stormed out... well that also was the same day that I found out that my boyfriend at the time was giving me goat weed instead of actual weed if you don’t know what goat weed is it’s basically a natural enhancement to make you frisky... yeah it didn’t affect me that way it made me P when I didn’t want to... like in my pants… Nope out of both of those situations
Got an interview and proceeded to browse info on google about the company. I was hit with walls of text about how horrible they were to work for. Cancelled the interview via phone beforehand.
Of course it was vector marketing.
There have been a number over the years but the latest was an office job at a chiropracters and all they did was harp on religion. They were Christian and played a Christian radio station, expected all their employees to go to church, give to Christian charities, always have a copy of the bible on them (in my purse since I'm a woman), I mean it was nuts. They offered me the job, I politely declined and left with the lady trailing after me asking why. I finally just said this won't be a good fit and continued to my car with her yelling bible verses at me from the building's doorway. OMG.
Tha LORDDDD almighty doth sayest thy wommen must SERVE her fellow manfolk an is a sin to defy your MASTAH.
I imagine her screaming shit like that at you, even minutes after you have driven out of sight.
My old job at a shoe store wanted us to pat down our jackets/purses at the end of every shift, every break where we left the store and even for a manager stepping out for a quick smoke. My current job with expensive and super tiny video game carts/micro DS cards/collectibles just trusts us to not steal anything. It's like they're aware that we know what the cameras are there for and know that we're being watched without having us frisk one another.
I remember I responded to an ad for interviews, and when I arrived I quickly realized it was to sell Kirby carpet machines. Ad never mentioned that. I was talking shit in the 'waiting room' because I had been in this situation before. Guy called me in for interview. Immediately started rebutting my shit talking in the waiting room and told me to "get the fuck out." Still think this is a hilarious story because that is not sustainable work. Probably over 15 years ago
My x did that. Was told he had to sell 5 to even get paid.
My friend’s family actually bought one of those Kirby’s in the late 70’s. It cost mega bucks and I knew they’d been scammed. Apparently you could even use it to spray paint your walls! That’s just what everyone wants from their vacuum cleaner!
15 minutes. It was a kerby vacuum salesman job. And someone just told a story like mine lol.
Me too! Port orchard Washington. Bunch of bullshitters trying to tell me how fun it was.
Lost track of how many times I have been rung up and told "you have been in a car accident" I tell them "Which one?"- I dont drive or even have a car.
The Fat White Elephant I seem to get a lot of phone calls about extending my car insurance when I have never owned a car. Usually I just tell them straight, but given what I heard off another AskReddit thread, maybe I could ask them which car they were referring to; when they ask you to confirm the details, tell then that since they were the ones who called me about the farm they clearly know what the car is. See how long it takes them to hang up.
i was working at a waste recycling plant as my 1st job however it was a 12 hour shift that took an hour to get there meaning i had to get up at 4 am to be ready and leave to get there at 7 am and would be home at 8 pm, that was combined with working on a conveyer belt which was incredibly nauseous and the smell was horrendous
i hated it after the 1st day and wanted to leave however stayed since the 1st day might have just been a busy day however felt the same the next day so i left after that
I cried when my dad cut onions

When the managers lied to to the owner about how many COVID cases (telling him only one case on the entire plant when 20 people contracted it) just to get a raise.
Probably the time I entered a recordkeeping position where the guy serving as my supervisor told me he had two guys before me quit, leaving him to run three multiple-story warehouses by himself. Our manager also expected me to get an entire warehouse done on my first day.
Bounced after 72 hours. First and only time I've burned my bridges anywhere and to this day I still feel kind of guilty about it. This was before the pandemic hit though so I'm 80% sure they would have laid me off anyway.
Seriously, what is it with nannies and ending up in real life porn situations?

Enjoy slow drive thru times again
Why do people hate cleaning dishes?
I worked for this shitty sales job in Nashville, the company would stand in walmart stores and harass customers walking by shopping and try to talk them into gettin Xfinity. I'm a talkative person and have done sales and customer service for like ten years before I joined the Army. This was my second job after getting out and during the interview I was told I'd get a guaranteed $400/weekly, and any commissions beyond that from sales I would also keep. I drive to Nashville and surrounding areas for almost a week, after putting up with their crack headed company culture of making noise and clapping during meetings I realized it felt like I was in a cult. I decide to look for another job and then just didn't go into work. I was in the middle of doing Yardwork when I got the call and told them I was done. About a week or two later one of the girls I had worked with said that after me about 4 or 5 other people had quit too. She managed to procure my paycheck and met up with her to get it. My paycheck for almost a week of work and a total of like 50-60 hours was barely over $200. I left them a scathing review on google. The chick that gave me my check told me that when she was in a store someone that walked by ans asked if she sniffed coke as a result of her erratic behavior. Never work for Catalyst Leadership Group, they're a fucking scam.
Went to work in a factory setting through a temp agency. One guy tells me to stand and watch this machine. Soon after, another guy is ripping me a new asshole for standing there watching that machine. Stayed the day but never went back.

Did this job for a couple weekends. Didn't go back my life is worth more than 8.50 hr. Yet they didn't understand why I left.

I've had more than a couple new guys just never show up for their first day. Didn't call just never showed up. I used to work with this girl. We worked at different places, restaurant maintenance and construction, and she was working one night. She was with a temp and at one point she couldn't find him. Apparently he was very anti swearing and she swore, not at him just a random frustrated fuck and he left. Didn't ask her to not swear or even tell her he was leaving. He just walked out.
Driving a broken porta-potty truck on the cliff-edge of a pit being dug for nuclear reactors.
Worked at a factory. They put me on a machine that was supposed to be worked by two people, and also required stacking a bunch of heavy boxes.
Managers came by, started unstacking my boxes and discussing something and gave me absolutely no acknowledgement as I tried to continue my work.
At the same time, I my damn co-workers giving me shit for not stacking the boxes???
Didn't bother putting a two-weeks notice in nor calling to quit. Just never went back.
On top of that, most of the day was spent sitting around waiting in high temperatures. No way to pass the time. Just sit and wait, stir the roasted peanuts, sit and wait some more.
Realized it was Piramid scheme under the guise of an office sales position. I Started to walk out of orientation, the person doing the presentations just had to know where I was going so i told him and everyone else in the orientation. This is a pyramid scheme, you might make some money but not much, you will get plenty of debt.
The one with Blockbuster, your dad lived, but Blockbuster aventurly DIED
LOL ironic.
I had an offer as a security guard at an auto plant in 1998...the pay offered was $14.50 an hour, full time which was decent money at the time. Set up an interview. It was a long drive out there and I had a 15 year old clunker car. Showed up early. Waited to be seen...a young male security guard came up and apologized to me, saying the manager told him he "forgot" that he was supposed to interview someone and that I'd have to reschedule. He then confided in me that they had a very high turnover rate there...that most people work there for two weeks, then management finds a reason to let them go. I thanked the young man for his honesty. I never rescheduled anther interview...I was angry that my time and effort was wasted like that. Later on I heard stories from people who worked there and they said it was run like a prison, you never got a break and had to constantly on your feet so I guess I dodged a bullet. 😏
Second day they asked me to move some 5 gallon cans from one shed to another, they had big radioactive signs on them and no tops on to stop the liquid splashing out..... I told them to fuck right off and clocked out and never came back.
reminds me of a story, i think it was in a different country...
some people were doing something that involved pouring a radioactive liquid from one container into another.
they poured too fast and caused a small chain reaction that set off a radiation alarm.
everyone evacuated.
they came back later and tried to pick up where they left off...
alarm went off again, everyone evacuated again.
then a janitor or a security guard decided to pour the ENTIRE BOTTLE DOWN A REGULAR DRAIN.
BIG chain reaction, he got a fatal dose, the entire room was unusable for weeks.
Noped out of my last job after it became clear I was just an office assistant that was there to pick up the slack of the other employees. That's not what I was told the job was. The manager would run out of work for me then accuse me of being lazy. I think her menopause got the better of her loony ass. Didn't bother with a 2 week notice, they didn't deserve the effort.
My husband noped out of a job the first day when he found out it wasn't just driving he would be doing but also loading the truck with no safety equipment and for significantly less pay than they advertised.
I didn't even make it past the job interview. My wife was finishing college to be a phlebotomist. I needed a basic 40 hour a week job that I could quit when we knew where my wife's career choice would take us. I put in for several jobs and got called in for an interview at a gas station.
The boss was a 40ish year old woman and I swear I must have been in trouble before I walked through the door. She didn't ask me questions or discuss what my duties would be. Instead she starts listing off the different F up's I wouldn't be allowed to do then she started talking about how the micromanaging owner of the station likes to make surprise checks. If they found anything wrong they would yell at her and since s--t rolls down hill she would be yelling at whoever messed up.
Seeing the writing on the wall I ended the interview by saying "I don't think this job is for me, thank you for the consideration". She didn't like that and started telling me how I would never work there and I wouldn't keep jobs long with my attitude. I just walked out as she was lecturing me like I actually worked there.
Got an interview with a popular and semifancy cinema where the gimmick is that you can order food like a restaurant to eat while you watch. Was promised full time work with good pay plus tips. Went in when they asked me to for the next part of the process. Waited for an hour to be told to come by another day. Came on that day. Waited for an hour to decide that they were obviously too busy for me and said we could reschedule. Finally got to sign the paper work on the third time. Keep in mind that this was a half hour bus ride for me to get to and from this place, so I wasted a lot of time waiting to finally be hired.
I ended up missing orientation (my fault, it was very early morning and I'm not a morning person so slept in) and came in for my first shift a few days later. I was there for three hours (didn't leave early, that's just how long they wanted to train us for the first day.) During that time, our trainer made it clear that she didn't know exactly what it was she was supposed to be teaching us and kept having to find the manager's for advice and immediately dropped a tray of cups filled with ice onto the floor when showing how to deliver dishes to the theater rooms. Not her fault, but kind of immediately discouraging. Had to learn a bunch of rules on the spot and was basically thrown right into it after a little instruction. Very stressful work.
Now, all of that stuff on the first day? Stressful, but I was willing to put up with it since I was sure I would adapt with enough practice.
Well, then there were a lot of other things. On top of the managers leaving me hanging several times as previously mentioned (like, forgot that I was coming entirely and then wouldn't even take time to say anything, just leaving me sitting in the lobby and forgetting about me,) they also sent me the login information of the other two people they hired but DIDN'T send them their own login info. Concerning.
The nail in the coffin was when I put my availability into the system, the person who did scheduling immediately asked me who interviewed me because with the hours I was giving them, they could only give me 10 hours a week. Also the way the schedule worked was they told you when to come in but not when you could leave. They said they would explain how that worked on my first real shift, which I never came in to.
Now, the reason I was looking at this place was because the place I was working at, a grocery store, had been cutting my (and everyone else's) hours, so I was making basically no money. I was scheduled to go in to my first real shift at the cinema on Friday. While I was considering quitting, my current job asked me if I could cover a shift on Friday. You can guess which job I decided to go to that day. Adding on to the incompetent management thing, when I sent an email saying that I had decided the job wasn't for me and that I wouldn't be coming in again, the manager responded with basically "Okay, see you on Friday!"
After that I started getting better hours at my current job again, then a few months later I got a promotion so I'm still there and plenty happy with it.
17:01 This guy has seen "Coming to America".
Was told a place my aunt was working at was always looking for new hires, decided to check it out and got an interview. Things were going well until he brought up work shifts. 4 on 3 off, 12hour days, okay. open 24/7 so they switched shifts from day too night shifts. That's not very welcoming... Top it off, in those 4 days, 2 were day, 2 were night. Yeah, those 3 days wern't to set your sleep schedule, you had to flip your sleep schedule on it's head in literally 36hours and be ready to do 12 hour shifts. Called two days later and told them I was given a better opportunity elsewhere, didn't wanna upset my aunt. Seriously though, wtf is that shift scheduling?!
Why is it that a significant amount of the jobs out there are a total s show. It’s where we spend at least a third of our day. Sad.
OH!!! The babysitting one reminded me of this guy that put out a thing on Craigslist for something expected of men but with previous training I knew how to do and was fully capable of doing... it’s only 25ft away from my house. I walk over and it’s a house with a big garage and guys are already working in there. So yay it’s legit. I go in the house for an interview with this old guy his wife is there cleaning the kitchen. he tells me that the job was a little different for what I have experience with and the stuff is heavier but he has something else that he needs done and it would pay the same. At the time I just needed money and I was A little more naïve than I am now. It was cleaning a room and painting it. I when dumb after hearing painting because I love painting rooms. So I went home excited to work the next day. He tells me the next day that he’s too busy with the guys in the garage to show me what to do so to come back I think it was around like 430 so not too late. But it was that time of year where it gets dark at like five. So I head over and within 10 minutes I am told that he’s too tired and that maybe we could just watch TV for a little bit and then go clean up. OK cool whatever I sit there and I’m texting people while having a conversation with him. And I’m starting to feel a bit weird I start to realize that I came for a completely different job then I was given a different job and we’re not even doing that job yet but I continue to sit and wait. Then once it started getting dark and creepy because none of the lights were on in his house and I didn’t see his wife anywhere like she never came in the room or anything. He gets up off The La-Z-Boy and comes over to the couch where I was and he moves my hair back which at this point I’m just like yeah I’m getting the f*** out of here he starts talking about my tattoo on my neck and how it was really cute (it’s a squirtle) I got up soon after and thankfully was allowed to walk out of the house ... I walked home and called my boyfriend
The second job I "noped" out of was a job driving vans. Sounds reasonable, right? Except it was driving vans from one set of train tracks to another, basically picking up the crew of a train, taking them from one location to another, which might be a short trip or it might be a four hour trip. Still, that's not so bad, right? Except that workers on a train work crazy hours. Their train might take them to some out of the way location at 2 AM and you have to go pick them up at 2 AM. And then maybe you have to drive them four hours away. And that would be fine, if it was on a schedule, right? Except there was no schedule. You were on call, all day, every day (you got one day off a week, which couldn't be on the weekends, except I was special and got Saturday off). On any given day, you had no idea if you were going to work that day. When you went to sleep, you had no idea if you would be called in to work at 2 AM or not. You couldn't ever go do anything (like see a movie) because you were on call and you were not allowed to tell them that you couldn't come when you were called (if you did it twice, you were fired, apparently). And the pay was complete garbage. Oh, and there was one more garbage rule: you were supposed to keep your van clean... after you drove it home and were off the clock. You were supposed to do a ton of work without pay? F*** that! After two weeks, I quit... which meant giving them my two week notice, which meant I worked for them just as long after I quit as I did before I quit.
@Kevin Counihan Basically yes. I mean, the van driving company had a connection with Union Pacific, but I wasn't directly employed by Union Pacific. We would only go from a Union Pacific train to another.
Oh, except one time I was called out to go to another company's train headquarters. And that was a disaster for several reasons. When we were called and given our orders (by a machine), we weren't given any kind of instructions on where to go. Instead, the rule was that we had to call someone (our superior or another worker who had been there longer) to find out how to get to this place. (We should've had GPS in our vans or something, but we didn't.) So, when I got the instructions, I followed them and went to an NTSB train place and waited for the train workers who needed a ride to show up. Nobody showed up. Eventually I got called again, with the desperate train workers thinking I hadn't shown up. I had shown up, but to the wrong place. I wasn't supposed to go to the NTSB place but to a third train company's place (I've forgotten which one now). This job was such a clusterfuck.
Rail crew express? Or rosenburger?
I was doing an electrical remodel of a plant. The foreman sent me up to the penthouse(elevator room) to install an outlet. I get up there, open the door and walk in. I close the door and on the back there's a sign, caution asbestos, do not disturb. The building manager comes in and tells me he wants a plug on one of the walls. The panel is buried in at least six inches of asbestos and I'd have to clean it away to run a pipe out of the panel. Then clear a path along the wall, down a wall and mount a box to the wall. All of it having to have a path cleared. When he got through telling me what he wanted I said no I'm not doing that. See the sign on the door. He got all huffy and said well if you won't do it I'll get someone else. I said fine and walked out. I don't think it was safe to even be in the room without a respirator and protective clothing.
I went to a job interview for a job that I’m pretty sure was advertised as a customer service position. I was in a group interview with two other women, and it quickly seemed like this job was basically being handed to me. But I then learned that it was for a door to door sales position, where I would only be earning commission. As soon as the interviewer asked me if I wanted the job I turned it down. Didn’t seem worth it. The other two took it though, probably because looking for work with a work visa is very difficult. I somehow lasted a month in a telemarketing gig once before being fired. I know that kind of outbound sales work is pretty rough.
I quit my 3rd night as a dishwasher. I was 17 and just out of high school. I ended up being there until 1AM for all 3 nights (the head chef took forever to clean). I told the other dishwasher that he wouldn't have any help this weekend, and I never came back.
Got a job at a newly built cinema. They were about to open but needed staff. Applied, got hired, went to their 7 hour orientation, which was mostly a boring safety PowerPoint. I walked in not knowing what my job was, and 7 hours later, I walked out with a raging headache, a rumbling stomach, and I still had no idea what my job was! So I came home, took a nap that ended up to be 15 hours and thought 'yea this ain't it'
Turns out training wasn't gonna be for another month, which worked out for me seeing as I had a trip booked, so I took my trip, came back, found another job, and quit that one. Good people, it just didn't work out. A few months later I was talking to my friend who's kid also worked there, turns out everyone got furloughed and the place was being run by managers only.
Tldr: my cinema job ended before the doors even opened.
