When I was going to college, and working full time I had a cousin get killed by a drunk driver. I told all my Professors I would not be coming in on the day of the Funeral. I then told my Manager I was attending a funeral on that day, and he said "No problem, and to lay a flower on his behalf. The day of the funeral before I left the owner told me either I come into work that day, and miss the funeral. I told the owner a few choice words, and before she could say anything I told her "I quit!". Moral of the story is don't screw with a person suffering from grief unless you want to get told where to go.
The managers who only say: "You can do better" are the most soul-crushing people to work under. That isn't motivational, it's degrading. No matter how hard you work, no matter how many extra steps you take to get the job done, no matter how many hours you clock-in and days off you give up to help out and be productive, it'll NEVER be good enough. That doesn't motivate people to work harder, that just motivates people to find a different job!
Heh, pissed off a District Manager by telling her to her face 'And you can't, now leave me alone' To be fair, she was just the latest in a line of them for the last few months due to the company going under, and I'd already walked out on one and just come back the next shift to take my job back, so I didn't take shit. If this is your first meeting with me, and you don't know me, don't tell me what I can and cannot do, wretch. I still didn't get fired, though the Store Manager was mortified. She lasted less than a week, just in case you're curious.
Hence the great resignation though it’s actually just more publicized since covid. However it’s been going on a lot longer . It’s a good thing though , I’m tired of managers being bullies . They need to pay for their insolence and arrogance. Only wished the working class would start more riots within the workplace and go on the attack. Walking out and not working is a great passive form of protest but we the people need to do so much more to make them hurt
@@hailervin agreed. More awareness around this subject is a big MUST. It’s absolutely unnecessary to let these insecure power trippers ruin people’s livelihoods for ego. Luckily people are speaking out against it
@@hailervin You need an economy that will support that. We're seeing it now because its not an employer market, but an employee market. The real problem is some employers haven't adapted to the employee market yet and are being left behind.
A great many businesses clearly, don't understand what "strict management" actually means. It means absolute adherence to the rules not being abusive towards the staff.
And help your employees when they are busy handling customers rather then calling them lazy when I can’t serve a customer immediately because there is a shortage of food.
There are multiple kinds of authority figures. I prefer a leader over any other. One that's not afraid, doesn't lack knowledge, and is willing to do the jobs of the people that they supervise. My manager is down in the trenches with us at a moments notice and the only thing that can hold her up is helping someone else. It's a restaurant but I've had many a shitty restaurant manager in my time and I told ownership I only wanna work on days she's there. Which, granted, that's most days, but the few truly crazy days I hear about are days when she's not there.
So I didn’t quit on the spot, because I like the job, so I really just quit my shift on the spot. I have a documented back injury that required leave and chronic back pain. The other day I tried getting a heavy item down from topstock, and immediately felt a tell-tale pain in my lower back. If I did any more, I was going to seriously hurt myself. So here I am, dealing with a guy who needs a product I can’t grab and no one to help me, back pain that’s getting worse the more I try to do, and a woman who needs my help back at the paint desk. I said “fuck this, I’m not getting hurt from one five hour shift” and called saying I needed to go home because I was in pain. I basically left the manager with a shot show with two customers to help and a huge paint order, but i knew my body and knew I needed to go home and rest before things got worse Thankfully I’m getting moved to a department with less awkward and heavy lifting, so my back will get a break
Undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder after 911... yeah I should’ve got a check.I was on the 65th floor of a hotel cleaning on that morning. Couldn’t go back to that building for two years... it was one of my favorite buildings.. I have not worked in a hotel since. Never again
I used to work in fast food, meaning it was a high stress environment with extremely poor conditions. Didn’t help that my co-workers were borderline abusive to everyone (including customers.) The stress ended up so bad, that I was having nightmares and would break down crying over the thought of going to work. And my hours were absolutely ridiculous. I officially had enough when I collapsed on my bathroom floor due to sleep deprivation. I quit that morning.
In the late 1970's I worked for a small trucking company that specialised in reclaiming used railway sleepers to cut up and sell to the UK's mining industries. To help cover costs (sometimes the pickup point was a few hundred miles away) I would carry general deliveries to a point close to there. On one occasion I was told to collect something and deliver it, non-stop, to an army barracks. Later I was told that I'd been carrying several tonnes of *high explosives!* Strike One. The owner then took away my weekend job of servicing 'my' truck and gave it to an ex partner. Strike Two. The brakes failed on me twice in 2 days. Strike Three. I left the truck at the side of the road on my last day (Friday). I got an interview for a job close to home that wouldn't require any nights away. Better pay, shorter delivery miles. Started the following Monday. Stayed for 7 years until they changed my work schedule which meant longer hours for not much more money. Quit and bought a business which I ran for several years until my disabilities made me unfit for any type of regular job. Now that I'm 71, I can live fairly comfortably on my state pension (boosted due to the taxes I'd paid on my income over the decades), disability benefits and small private pension.
Had a supervisor tell me I am paid to do what I am told, and to not think. So, the next time he told me to mop the floor I did exactly that. Didn't sweep or anything. When he brought me into the office to confront me and I repeated what he had said this time in front of our stores managers. They actually laughed at it, and told him to be more clear in the instructions next time.
"Hey, boss. I know I usually stay late to help after my shift ends, but I have something tonight and I have to leave on time." "We'll see about that." "I suppose you will."
My friend worked as a waitress on the morning/afternoon shift and the restaurant was across the street from a high school. She got lots of tables of non tipping teens who’s tables totals were quite large. Well, her boss charged the wait staff the amount of tips they were supposed to get (tips were pooled and divided among the whole staff) and at the end of one week my friend OWED more than she earned so she left.
They have to guarantee you at least minimum wage per hour so if they don't get tipped the restaurant is supposed to pay whatever they're missing for minimum wage per hour they worked
I've never had a 'quit on the spot' situation in a job. But one of my friends worked somewhere where she had to ask permission to use the bathroom. That would be something that would absolutely be something that would cause me to walk. I could understand asking someone to cover for you in a position like a cashier or server, but this was a job where that sort of thing wasn't necessary. But her manager wanted people to ask permission to go pee. Ridiculous. It's demeaning to need somebody's permission to go use the bathroom.
No matter how well you do, they tell you "You could do better." "I've been exceeding the performance of the average worker here. You can pay me more than the average worker here, or I can lower my performance to match theirs. Which is it?"
About half of the companies that treat employees like trash seem to go out of business shortly after. You think paying employees what they are worth to you and being respectful is too much trouble to keep yourself in business.
In defense of many of those companies, most of them would still be in business had they thought that their employees were more than replaceable drones, and their clients more than walking wallets.
I learned a long time ago your employer doesn’t care about you. You are replaceable. And also I feel it’s an ego and power trip why some managers are awful. 👀🤷🏿🤦🏿
@@b.jerelljones7312 i think it is fueled by the race for numbers, and how the road that they took to get there gets muddled by this race for numbers. Furthermore, I think it is stress based, too, which leads to poor judgement, which leads to unhappiness in the workplace, which leads to people quitting. Of course, there are dicks amongst those people. Folks who feel like control and power gives them every right, and to them, I welcome the karma that they wrought upon themselves. Truly fitting of a dictator to see his army desert him.
My second job ever (first one after high school), the owners of the mom and pop restaurant I worked for somehow found out I was job hunting (I'm guessing a coworker saw me at one of the stores or restaurants I had gotten interviewed at and told them). I get a phone call from the wife who owned the place and she let me know how disappointed she was and that I wasn't being a team player by leaving them even more understaffed. I stayed until I found something and gave a full three week notice out of loyalty to my then manager. I knew it was going to be at least two weeks until my orientation at my next job was going to start. She told me to just let her know and that my final shifts would be scheduled around my new job. It comes time for the new place to tell me when I am starting and I let my manager know. It was something like noon to five or something like that. The owners pushed her to schedule me open til two and then four to close. Schedules were put out on Saturdays to start the following Mondays. I worked my closing shift through the Sunday before the new schedule started and left my key and uniforms. The wife began blowing up my phone. I either calmly responded to her texts or just ignoring them until she threatened to keep hold of my last paycheck, over text. I let her know that if she tried that she could see me in court.
Ive been working for this job for 4 years. I dont take sick days i dont call off Ive been working 6 days a week for 11 months. Eventually the company started to offer vacation. Well after working so hard i wanted to cash in the vacation. When i went into the office to ask for some the ceo told me thats not how it works and after i tried to show her the paper saying this was indeed how it works. She then sat me down in her office and said "i dont care how long and well you worked for me,show me attitude like that again and i wont hesitate to fire you" i wanted to get up and leave right there but the jobs easy and i need the money.
Ouch. Bad situation. Still, document everything just in case you need to go to a lawyer at some time. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT! Print out any e-mails or texts.
Worked for a big insurance co. Going in they said, "You get all this PTO!" But whenever you'd request time off it's be 'denied' or 'wait-listed.' Then, at the end of the year, they'd say 'You didn't use your PTO, so you lose it!'
4:00 I was in one of those situations. Working in a restaurant where we had a new employee who was attractive but had a below average IQ. She ended up lasting about two weeks. She had a great attitude and tried, but things I would consider rudimentary tasks were just beyond her ability. It was pretty obvious to staff and management that she just wasn't a good fit for the job. About two months after leaving the company, one of the managers told me she had reapplied wanting to come back but they turned her down. Frankly, I just don't think there was any position within the restaurant she would have been suitable for. About two years later I was still with that same company but in a managerial roll and at a different store. I had a guy come in applying who also was pretty obviously below average IQ. He kept asking and eventually I gave in and gave him a shot. He was one of our more loyal hard working employees. He just had his limits on what he could and could not do. As I recall he was still with company after I moved on to bigger and better things.
Being a good leader means finding what your coworkers are good at and applying their skillset properly. Praising them and giving them bonuses work great. When my coworkers had a day where they were above quota, I'd send them home early and clock them out, especially on Saturdays. When I would get a bonus for early delivery on a build, I'd split it even with them. I had a great crew, still miss those assholes.
When I was working at a Hotel (crappy 2 star, management was even worse, and then there were the people that stayed there. Lets just say I hated the job). Management never paid anything on time so there were days where we didn't even have the breakfast or coffee that was advertised. The workers had to use their own money just to not get constantly verbally abused by the people who stayed. Things started breaking down, the hotel rooms needed a lot of work, etc. yes, we reported it to the higher ups but they never did anything. I didn't quit on the spot but I did start not caring my last few weeks there. One thing that really was frustrating, was that the higher ups still forced us to sell rooms that were problematic (and not just something like a stain on the carpet, but these rooms had broken beds, bedbugs, half the time they didn't get cleaned because the room cleaners and maintenance were always quitting. Some rooms had broken heaters/aircon units it was worse when in the middle of winter there were unheated rooms we were still told to sell. The thing is, winters where I'm from often are below zero degrees at night. In general crappy place to work) I left the job because I got another job elsewhere. I later learned the hotel was closed down because of unsanitary conditions and bills not being paid.
I love employers who run businesses in at will states who think you owe them 2 weeks notice when you get another job, because it’s professional, but fire you on the spot for whatever. I heard a businesswoman complaining about it at work the other day. Just love it.
I worked for one day at a retirement home- That work environment was absolute hell- I was getting yelled at left and right, I wasn't allowed to take breaks (I was working a back to back double shift of four hours each, plus I'm under 18 so that wasn't allowed. The law in my state is that employees under 18 need at least one ten minute break per four hour shift) The person training me was completely incompetent and kept getting me in trouble, the other employees at the retirement home treated me like garbage, and I almost got groped by an old man twice. So I quit right when my second shift was done.
The doggy daycare job was a dream for me. I'm retired and had the time to work for a cause instead of money and this daycare was huge with multiple outdoor playgrounds. Two hours in I asked when the dogs go outside to play instead of being g caged up in huge groups in the building. The answer was they don't. 80 dogs urinated on the floors and had zero time to run or chase or even potty on the grass. I was disappointed and disgusted.
Wtf? I wonder if the pet owners were aware of this. I'd be furious if I paid for doggy day care for my babies, and learned that's what they were getting. That's not day care. I could just leave them at home and it would be a better situation. Lol I might have taken a bunch of pictures and blown the whistle on the whole establishment. Send copies to all their clients, and maybe local news. I feel certain there's a lawsuit there somewhere.
I don't know what it's like in America, but in Australia I'm pretty sure that's illegal in several respects. The RSPCA would issue several care directives and if they weren't obeyed, they could potentially close down the business.
Back in 2006 I started work as a plumbers mate for a family friend, the guy claimed his last mate had been lazy and unreliable, (red flag, but as he was a family friend we believed him) started work expecting the usual hazing, being sent to get left handed screwdriver, tartan paint, or a long weight, that kind of construction site banter, instead I get verbally abused for not knowing the job he's meant to be training me to do, his public treatment of me encourages the other trade apprentices to abuse me also, up to and including vandalizing my tools. The job had a 3 month probationary period, I waited until the company confirmed I had passed probation, booked a weeks holiday through their head office without telling the family friend, he got snotty with me the day I told him I was taking a week off, during that week I wrote a letter to the company owner telling them I was quitting, and why, and never showed up the day I was due back. The kicker was that the family friend must have known something was up, because he called me on my week off, before I had written the letter, telling me he expects to see me back on the day my holiday was ending. Additional kicker, the owner never contacted me to ask for any further info or to try and convince me to stay. We also cut ties with that now former family friend. F*ck you Andy!
Had a boss yell at me for not putting a till full of cash on the counter to help staff with orders. I cursed him out, which surprised everyone as I was pretty quiet up until then. Tossed my apron and didn't look back.
I worked at Dunkin Donuts , I took a vacation to focus on my mental health and one day my mom came home from getting me a bagel , told me I’m not going back there because my manager had told people I was in a mental institution.
A little over a year ago, I was working at Dollar General, and one day I got my second vaccine and I was feeling really sick afterwards, so a couple hours before I had to go into work, I called saying that I am sick and I won't be able to come in. My manager raised her voice and pratically said too bad, find your own replacement. I did not, and I did not come into work that night. The next day, I walked in with my two week notice. I have had problems working there already, but that was my final straw
Young people, don't take any sh!+ from toxic bosses. If they scream and yell then scream back. If they threaten violence then get ready to fight back.. Grab a weapon if you have to, and ladies if it's a man go for the balls. In the end walk away and walk tall.
7:04 A big employer with a bulls eye I had worked for while in school, they knew I could only work nights as I have to be up for school at 6 am... I was scheduled 3pm to 10 pm I wouldn't get out until midnight to 2 am... I had blisters on my feet from running around... My blisters had blisters... I needed to take it easy they flipped out... A co-worker was under age 18 and had to clock out at a certain time, every time... weird labor laws here... So my co-worker turns 18 and can be scheduled any time.... That night my "manager" held me in the office telling me how bad of a worker I was, and how everyone had to come recover my dept.... NEVER HAPPENED... I left... within 2 hours I was hired for a similar job... We got out on time and I was promoted one month into that job, five months later I was promoted again as a floor manager (keyed) ... AND this job didn't screw my school and sleep schedule.... That co-worker who turned 18 quit after his second night of 2 am clock out when he (like I was) scheduled to work til 10 pm When a manager tells an employee that for MONTHS they were not doing the job right, but never corrected it issue or bothered to train the employee in the first place is a BAD manager....
It's always fun being told to train somebody to do a job that should have gone to you. Same thing happened to my brother, let's just say his now former employer was surprised when he resigned since they thought that he was a "lifer", and so thought that he would just put up with it 👎😂😂
Worked in a Kitchen down the road from my old place. They assumed that, since I had experience working in Kitchens, I knew exactly where everything was in theirs. Day 3 (Sunday and it's the busiest day of the week) they decided that I should be ok by myself. So from 6pm to 10pm I was by myself, trying to find where they kept food. I didn't go back after that.
My grandmother was the only mother I ever knew. Grandfather was the only father I ever knew. One day 3 years ago, my grandmother had the BIG stroke and was in the hospital dying. My wife called LayZboy (I was a final assembler for electric sofas) and they said they wouldnt tell me about it because I was too busy (they had just shut down every plant but the one in Arkansas and the one in Missouri where I worked and transferred the load orders from the other plants to us). My wife KICKED down the front door and walked a mile and a half to the OTHER end of the plant where I was, told me and we both walked out. On my way out the plant manager was begging me not to go (we were working Monday thru sunday on 10 hour days) and I balled one fist up and knife handed him in the face and with tears in my eyes I said "I will ask permission for vacation, but not for my family, damn you for this". Grandma was gone before I could get to her in time. Next time I saw that manager he apologized profusely and asked if I want my job back with a raise and I said "I want my mother back, at least long enough to say thank you and goodbye". I still get furious thinking about it.
That bait and switch crap regarding jobs just ticks me off. Before I retired I worked in an industry where a certain type of job was very coveted, and whenever you saw an advertisement for one, many, many people applied for it. Nine times out of ten they were just head hunting for good people. I was very good at my job and was often head hunted, I would ask them specifically if it was for said position, then told yes, only to waste my time interviewing to find out it was for a much lower position, and they only wanted to get good people on their team. How on earth a company thinks you will work for them when they outright lie to get you to come talk to them. I also interviewed at a place, and was told what the starting salary was, then my future boss told me she was giving me the high end of the budgeted salary. She then handed me the budget for the place to give me an idea of what we were working with. Turns out she shorted me 8k in pay just so she could get herself a bigger bonus at the end of the year. I told her I can't work for someone that would lie to me. If she had told me honestly that there was room for a raise later, and not that she was paying me on the highest end, I might have taken it, but lying, that is a big no for me.
I was a hostess at an Indian restaurant owned by a couple from Bombay. Their food was the best you could get in the area, and it was super nice and beautiful inside. The wife was the head chef, and super sweet. She treated all the staff like her children, and made sure we all ate a huge meal everyday we worked and just looked out for us. Her husband liked to walk around like a king, and just Lord over everybody. He hired a new waiter who was from south America and didn't speak English very well - it was also his first time as a server. This wasn't a problem, but the way I had to do my job meant that I had to follow a certain order for my sections so it would be fair for each server. Never a problem. Well, this guy's first night, he got a party of almost 20 people, and the owner was leaving as they came in. I told the new guy it was his turn, and asked if he either wanted to pass this, and I'd make it up, or if he wanted to get another server to help. He said pass, so we passed. We were all satisfied, and no one had to get stressed out. I wrote a note about it in the book, and that was that. Or so I thought. The next day I came in, and was literally screamed and cursed at for being a racist. He was about to fire me for it - had already fired the other server (not the new guy), but I shouted over him about who the real racist was and walked out. I was just in shock. All I did was help a kid that wasn't ready to handle that many people at once. Screw that guy.
22:12 seriously wtf is wrong with people who not only abuse minimum wage workers but say shut like that to them? This is why wages of people are quitting these jobs, people don’t wanna be treated like shut for minimum wage and no support
In the US, the first one, employees are required to be paid to be on standby for work. This means he should’ve been paid for waiting for a call with probably OT. They would have a case if they decide to go after that business.
worked at a meat processing factory wasnt too bad a job until the supervisor came back after being off a long time due to some illness but soon as she was back the job became hell , anyway oneday my dad dropped me off to work and i got out and he drove off and i asked myself would i rather go to work today or walk 20 miles back home, i choose to walk all the way back home thats when i knew this wasn't the job for me anymore.
"Oh, this is the standard contract. It just hasn't been updated for your specific offer." "No problem, (pulls out pen), strike through here, initial here, change this number, initial here, there you go. Fixed."
I was put on prohibition for not promoting a product to a customer who had said earlier they didn't want said product. It was for 4 weeks, I met everything they asked me to during this. They decided rather then end the prohibition, to extend it another 2 weeks, past where the option to transfer to another department and get a permenant contact would be up for that year. Handed in my notice later that day.
Given a job as woodworking machinery. Arrived early but shop was locked and no-one there ten minutes later, I walked down the sidewalk. Then up the sidewalk and stood outside. After an hour, the boss arrived and opened the door to greet me with anger as the work enterence was on the street behind where we were standing. Oh l said I'll go there and walked off with my pride intact.
My boss quit and I did too when they replaced her with someone just because she was a close friend of a higher level boss without giving her any training. Good luck in managing stuff that only me and my ex-boss could do in that local office (ofc people in the main office also know that stuff but they haven't trained the new boss at all)
One nursing home job I had always had me work like real late then came in real early the next morning to unload supply truck. And I NEVER could get weekends off. When I asked to have ONE Saturday off to go visit my sister who I don't see anymore for years since she moved away, boss told me in summary "When we hired you, you told us that it was okay you never have weekends off. Either you work Saturday or don't come back." I literally said "DCB then!" and walked off. And mind you, she ALWAYS gave herself Saturday and Sunday off...
Worked at a Wendys for 2 or 3 months I wanted part time since I was doing classes at that moment and just wanted to be making some cash while doing it. They put me on full time making me work 9+ hours. I say 9+ bc I was on closing shift and had to help clean everything so I didn't get off until like 3 in the morning a lot of the time so 9 hours usually became 11 or close to 12 anyways. They never gave me break and I got sick of it so 1 day I was really tired from not getting much sleep at all and about 5 hours into my shift I took it upon myself to give myself a break and clocked out for a 15 minute break and went to the subway next to us to get a sub and sat down to eat it. Then the manager came over to tell me she didn't say I could go on break and that was it for me I got up took my hat and apron off laid them on the table and walked out without saying a word
I used to work for a mid-Atlantic grocery chain. my work hours had been slashed from 40 a week to 6, and one day, there was a note from the store manager that I was to clean the break room. I went upstairs and took one look at the trashed tiny room and NOPE’d back downstairs, finished my shift and never went back.
Apparently the summer camp I work at screwed over the person that everyone likes and makes it all run smoothly at the end of last summer, and all the senior staff quit with them. I and a few others didn't know because we weren't there the last week for various reasons. This camp and what we taught was once a community and a lifestyle, now it's just a job. It was already going down hill but this was the nail in the coffin and I'm going to their competitors next year. It used to be that you could just ask around to learn some really niche skills, now all those people are gone and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find them. It makes me really sad, this place made me into who I am.
Didn't let me have a lunch break or any kind of breaks, so I'd be working for four hours straight (I'm a minor so four hours was all I got) getting hungry halfway through, ask for my lunch break. Told I only had two hour left, I could wait till my shift ended, and sent back to the drivethrough to deal with hangry customers while I was also hangry. And when I first started they expected me to work an 11 hour shift, starting from the middle of the school day to closing time, (again, I'm a minor) I called and told them this and they told me to just come in right then and only do fours hours. It was nine in the morning, I had school, told them this and said I'd be there when school was over. Had to take a while off work for mental health and they kept calling while I was at the hospital to ask when I was coming in. Dad had my phone at the time and kept telling them I wasn't coming in and that I was on sick leave. A week after I got back I had to take care of my grandparents cause my grandfather fell and needed help and I told them I just needed one more week and I'd be back to the job. I was told I needed to prioritize my job over everything and asked if I even wanted to job. Even though I did want the job something in me snapped and I told them to just take me off the schedule and hung up. Now I'm getting started on my small buisness making jewelry and haven't been happier
The first story reminds me of something that would happen at one of my previous jobs. I worked for a health services organization where employees would communicate primarily through email, but also used an IM system (similar to Slack) known as Jabber. I had one supervisor who, while very nice and helpful, had a habit of asking a question via Jabber, then sending three or four more messages while you were trying to respond to the first.
10:08 sounds like the shit that would happen at Amazon. I’ve dropped heavy shit on my toes, been visibly drenched in sweat and exhausted, clearly had trouble with the box conveyor belt giving more than I could handle, and more. Nobody gave a shit.
2:34 I tell you, I don't understand why corporations do bullshit like this. This happened to my mom, where she was the best manager in her sector (at a hospital), and was recommended by everyone for a promotion. For whatever reason though, they gave the promotion to someone else that wasn't nearly as qualified. Jokes on them though, she quit her position and moved to a new one in a different sector, and now she's doing basically the same stuff, but for more pay, and she can work from home.
Work nights for years. Got the day shift. 3 months later they scheduled me back to nights. I quit and found a job that paid the same starting. The company folded a couple of years later.
Why do so many businesses DO this?? Your employee tells you *from the interview* that they need XYZ time off, and you just, what, decide No They Don’t? Jeez…
Worked for Getir briefly. They hired too many ppl when starting in NYC. They hired too many ppl and then had to cut hours until ppl started quitting. Then came the metrics. Suddenly, everyone is moving too slow. Had to improve. And so on. Which was weird because I had gotten a performance bonus during this time. Quit after the third store manager (in 2 or 3 months) for my location told me I had to shape up again. Clearly I'm not good enough for this cause you're the third manager to tell me this. I'm out. Things are better there now I heard but those few weeks were wild.
I worked at a holistic clinic and I liked the job. I thought what they had going on seemed kinda like a pyramid scheme to me but whatever I needed a job so I stuck around. I use gain laundry detergent and they told me that I couldn’t use it because they were “highly sensitive to it” Bc their bodies have “detoxed all the toxins out” and said I needed to get a fragrance free laundry detergent.. I quit that day lmao sounds petty but I mean how can you tell someone what detergent they can and can’t use. 😭 that’s why it smelled like a retirement home in there
Also one of my coworkers was so rude and just didn’t like me for no reason. She randomly bought presents for everyone besides me one day. 🤣 and they would make me do literally EVERYTHING while they sat around doing basically nothing 🥲
I worked in a postal center for two months. I learned 9 months of material in 3 weeks, got certified as a notary in 3 weeks, got certified for fingerprints and passports in 2 weeks, arrived on time, opened and closed the store almost daily, then they told me that im "uncoachable" and slashed my hours from 32 per week to 7. I turned in my key that day, wrote a letter of resignation and left. They tried to contact me a few times in the days following but I gave them no response. If I advance that far that quickly then Im damn coachable, they're just bad coaches.
I once worked at a Christian bookstore. One night me and the owners wife were counting out my register, and came up $50 short. I was counting all the cash and she was counting the checks, money larger than a $20 bill, and credit cards. We counted over and over again, all the while she was accusing me of stealing money. She told me to admit to stealing the money or she would call the police. We were there for an hour and a half, and finally I called her husband to come to the store. When her husband arrived, we counted out the till again, and magically there was a $50 bill that she had somehow missed every time we counted out the register. Then she said “okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I told her husband that I would never comeback to the store and will tell everyone I know what she had done.
I never gave a two week notice to Wendy’s I’m like fck outta here no one called or anything best thing I ever did I was there four years in high school for spending money then system another three got a way better job know and I love it

I quit a restaurant within the first ten minutes of my first shift because the chef literally sneezed into his hands twice and then after never washing his hand started platting a dish. Done.
This apparently very very little known you are paid to use the restroom it doesn’t matter what state you are in for the maximum of 20 minutes ANY employer tries to ANYTHING to your pay and you can prove it was less then 20 report them to department of labor for that as it’s illegal for a company to tamper with your pay
Used to work in a DIY store for 6 years. Was one of the few that volunteered to work on sundays(it paid 200%, so why the hell not) while most others refused. After a few years, we got a new manager. The dude suddenly took me off sundays as other people started complaining that I made too much money. Told him that I was one of very few who stepped forward to work sundays and that everyone had their chance but refused to take it. Dude took me off sundays again next week. Told him he could piss off, quit on the spot. They had to hire 3 people to replace me. Idiots. Working R&D now, making double the store managers salary. He can shove it.
When my manager was on the phone with a customer, he got upset and slammed his fist down on the desk suuper hard and it shook everything on it. I was like noope and walked out.
When I was going to college, and working full time I had a cousin get killed by a drunk driver. I told all my Professors I would not be coming in on the day of the Funeral. I then told my Manager I was attending a funeral on that day, and he said "No problem, and to lay a flower on his behalf. The day of the funeral before I left the owner told me either I come into work that day, and miss the funeral. I told the owner a few choice words, and before she could say anything I told her "I quit!". Moral of the story is don't screw with a person suffering from grief unless you want to get told where to go.
The only place their going is straight down to the boiler room in hell
Used to *hate* the "you owe us a shift"
Worked health care and if they cancelled a shift you owed them a shift, even though they had canceled.
Manager: "5 minutes is too long to be in the bathroom."
Me: "I have an *sshole, not a machine gun."
I'm gonna steal that.
Say you got Constipation, makes pooping difficult
😂🤣😘 GREAT 👏👏👏
The managers who only say: "You can do better" are the most soul-crushing people to work under. That isn't motivational, it's degrading. No matter how hard you work, no matter how many extra steps you take to get the job done, no matter how many hours you clock-in and days off you give up to help out and be productive, it'll NEVER be good enough. That doesn't motivate people to work harder, that just motivates people to find a different job!
Heh, pissed off a District Manager by telling her to her face 'And you can't, now leave me alone' To be fair, she was just the latest in a line of them for the last few months due to the company going under, and I'd already walked out on one and just come back the next shift to take my job back, so I didn't take shit. If this is your first meeting with me, and you don't know me, don't tell me what I can and cannot do, wretch. I still didn't get fired, though the Store Manager was mortified. She lasted less than a week, just in case you're curious.
Hence the great resignation though it’s actually just more publicized since covid. However it’s been going on a lot longer . It’s a good thing though , I’m tired of managers being bullies . They need to pay for their insolence and arrogance. Only wished the working class would start more riots within the workplace and go on the attack. Walking out and not working is a great passive form of protest but we the people need to do so much more to make them hurt
@@hailervin agreed. More awareness around this subject is a big MUST. It’s absolutely unnecessary to let these insecure power trippers ruin people’s livelihoods for ego. Luckily people are speaking out against it
@@hailervin You need an economy that will support that. We're seeing it now because its not an employer market, but an employee market. The real problem is some employers haven't adapted to the employee market yet and are being left behind.
More like most employers. It pains me how ignorant and arrogant many are.
A great many businesses clearly, don't understand what "strict management" actually means. It means absolute adherence to the rules not being abusive towards the staff.
And help your employees when they are busy handling customers rather then calling them lazy when I can’t serve a customer immediately because there is a shortage of food.
There are multiple kinds of authority figures. I prefer a leader over any other. One that's not afraid, doesn't lack knowledge, and is willing to do the jobs of the people that they supervise. My manager is down in the trenches with us at a moments notice and the only thing that can hold her up is helping someone else. It's a restaurant but I've had many a shitty restaurant manager in my time and I told ownership I only wanna work on days she's there. Which, granted, that's most days, but the few truly crazy days I hear about are days when she's not there.
So I didn’t quit on the spot, because I like the job, so I really just quit my shift on the spot. I have a documented back injury that required leave and chronic back pain. The other day I tried getting a heavy item down from topstock, and immediately felt a tell-tale pain in my lower back. If I did any more, I was going to seriously hurt myself. So here I am, dealing with a guy who needs a product I can’t grab and no one to help me, back pain that’s getting worse the more I try to do, and a woman who needs my help back at the paint desk. I said “fuck this, I’m not getting hurt from one five hour shift” and called saying I needed to go home because I was in pain. I basically left the manager with a shot show with two customers to help and a huge paint order, but i knew my body and knew I needed to go home and rest before things got worse
Thankfully I’m getting moved to a department with less awkward and heavy lifting, so my back will get a break
Your back is 100% more important than any job
Undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder after 911... yeah I should’ve got a check.I was on the 65th floor of a hotel cleaning on that morning. Couldn’t go back to that building for two years... it was one of my favorite buildings.. I have not worked in a hotel since. Never again
I'm so sorry you experienced that tragic event I can't even imagine the PTSD. I hope you've gone to a therapist about this.
OMG i remember when I woke up with anxiety everytime i had to go to work ... horrible thing
I had a job like that. Was the last job I had before forming my own consulting firm. So much better on the digestive tract.
@@josepherhardt164 Indeed this type of Jobs allow You to upgrade yourself so You don't go thought that again
Reading this in the toilet in the middle of my usual morning stress poo before I leave for work. Guess it is time to hand in my notice today
@@arturdobrzynski6531 Did you? Resign, not poo. Although it would have been beneficial to have pooped as well.
I used to work in fast food, meaning it was a high stress environment with extremely poor conditions. Didn’t help that my co-workers were borderline abusive to everyone (including customers.) The stress ended up so bad, that I was having nightmares and would break down crying over the thought of going to work. And my hours were absolutely ridiculous. I officially had enough when I collapsed on my bathroom floor due to sleep deprivation.
I quit that morning.
In the late 1970's I worked for a small trucking company that specialised in reclaiming used railway sleepers to cut up and sell to the UK's mining industries. To help cover costs (sometimes the pickup point was a few hundred miles away) I would carry general deliveries to a point close to there. On one occasion I was told to collect something and deliver it, non-stop, to an army barracks. Later I was told that I'd been carrying several tonnes of *high explosives!* Strike One.
The owner then took away my weekend job of servicing 'my' truck and gave it to an ex partner. Strike Two.
The brakes failed on me twice in 2 days. Strike Three.
I left the truck at the side of the road on my last day (Friday). I got an interview for a job close to home that wouldn't require any nights away. Better pay, shorter delivery miles. Started the following Monday. Stayed for 7 years until they changed my work schedule which meant longer hours for not much more money. Quit and bought a business which I ran for several years until my disabilities made me unfit for any type of regular job. Now that I'm 71, I can live fairly comfortably on my state pension (boosted due to the taxes I'd paid on my income over the decades), disability benefits and small private pension.
Had a supervisor tell me I am paid to do what I am told, and to not think. So, the next time he told me to mop the floor I did exactly that. Didn't sweep or anything. When he brought me into the office to confront me and I repeated what he had said this time in front of our stores managers. They actually laughed at it, and told him to be more clear in the instructions next time.
lol
"Hey, boss. I know I usually stay late to help after my shift ends, but I have something tonight and I have to leave on time."
"We'll see about that."
"I suppose you will."
My friend worked as a waitress on the morning/afternoon shift and the restaurant was across the street from a high school. She got lots of tables of non tipping teens who’s tables totals were quite large. Well, her boss charged the wait staff the amount of tips they were supposed to get (tips were pooled and divided among the whole staff) and at the end of one week my friend OWED more than she earned so she left.
Jesus H. Christ! That had to be reportable to SOME kind of authority.
That is definitely illegal in some way.
That is straight up illegal, please report that restaurant to a workers rights group
They have to guarantee you at least minimum wage per hour so if they don't get tipped the restaurant is supposed to pay whatever they're missing for minimum wage per hour they worked
And that is illegal.
I've never had a 'quit on the spot' situation in a job. But one of my friends worked somewhere where she had to ask permission to use the bathroom. That would be something that would absolutely be something that would cause me to walk. I could understand asking someone to cover for you in a position like a cashier or server, but this was a job where that sort of thing wasn't necessary. But her manager wanted people to ask permission to go pee. Ridiculous. It's demeaning to need somebody's permission to go use the bathroom.
No matter how well you do, they tell you "You could do better."
"I've been exceeding the performance of the average worker here. You can pay me more than the average worker here, or I can lower my performance to match theirs. Which is it?"
About half of the companies that treat employees like trash seem to go out of business shortly after. You think paying employees what they are worth to you and being respectful is too much trouble to keep yourself in business.
In defense of many of those companies, most of them would still be in business had they thought that their employees were more than replaceable drones, and their clients more than walking wallets.
I learned a long time ago your employer doesn’t care about you. You are replaceable. And also I feel it’s an ego and power trip why some managers are awful. 👀🤷🏿🤦🏿
@@b.jerelljones7312 i think it is fueled by the race for numbers, and how the road that they took to get there gets muddled by this race for numbers.
Furthermore, I think it is stress based, too, which leads to poor judgement, which leads to unhappiness in the workplace, which leads to people quitting.
Of course, there are dicks amongst those people. Folks who feel like control and power gives them every right, and to them, I welcome the karma that they wrought upon themselves. Truly fitting of a dictator to see his army desert him.
My second job ever (first one after high school), the owners of the mom and pop restaurant I worked for somehow found out I was job hunting (I'm guessing a coworker saw me at one of the stores or restaurants I had gotten interviewed at and told them). I get a phone call from the wife who owned the place and she let me know how disappointed she was and that I wasn't being a team player by leaving them even more understaffed. I stayed until I found something and gave a full three week notice out of loyalty to my then manager. I knew it was going to be at least two weeks until my orientation at my next job was going to start. She told me to just let her know and that my final shifts would be scheduled around my new job. It comes time for the new place to tell me when I am starting and I let my manager know. It was something like noon to five or something like that. The owners pushed her to schedule me open til two and then four to close. Schedules were put out on Saturdays to start the following Mondays. I worked my closing shift through the Sunday before the new schedule started and left my key and uniforms. The wife began blowing up my phone. I either calmly responded to her texts or just ignoring them until she threatened to keep hold of my last paycheck, over text. I let her know that if she tried that she could see me in court.
Ive been working for this job for 4 years. I dont take sick days i dont call off
Ive been working 6 days a week for 11 months.
Eventually the company started to offer vacation. Well after working so hard i wanted to cash in the vacation. When i went into the office to ask for some the ceo told me thats not how it works and after i tried to show her the paper saying this was indeed how it works. She then sat me down in her office and said "i dont care how long and well you worked for me,show me attitude like that again and i wont hesitate to fire you" i wanted to get up and leave right there but the jobs easy and i need the money.
Ouch. Bad situation. Still, document everything just in case you need to go to a lawyer at some time. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT! Print out any e-mails or texts.
What do you do?
When you are disposable you owe them nothing no loyalty no respect you get treated back the way you interact with your staff
Worked for a big insurance co. Going in they said, "You get all this PTO!" But whenever you'd request time off it's be 'denied' or 'wait-listed.' Then, at the end of the year, they'd say 'You didn't use your PTO, so you lose it!'
4:00 I was in one of those situations. Working in a restaurant where we had a new employee who was attractive but had a below average IQ. She ended up lasting about two weeks. She had a great attitude and tried, but things I would consider rudimentary tasks were just beyond her ability. It was pretty obvious to staff and management that she just wasn't a good fit for the job. About two months after leaving the company, one of the managers told me she had reapplied wanting to come back but they turned her down. Frankly, I just don't think there was any position within the restaurant she would have been suitable for.
About two years later I was still with that same company but in a managerial roll and at a different store. I had a guy come in applying who also was pretty obviously below average IQ. He kept asking and eventually I gave in and gave him a shot. He was one of our more loyal hard working employees. He just had his limits on what he could and could not do. As I recall he was still with company after I moved on to bigger and better things.
Being a good leader means finding what your coworkers are good at and applying their skillset properly. Praising them and giving them bonuses work great.
When my coworkers had a day where they were above quota, I'd send them home early and clock them out, especially on Saturdays.
When I would get a bonus for early delivery on a build, I'd split it even with them. I had a great crew, still miss those assholes.
When I was working at a Hotel (crappy 2 star, management was even worse, and then there were the people that stayed there. Lets just say I hated the job). Management never paid anything on time so there were days where we didn't even have the breakfast or coffee that was advertised. The workers had to use their own money just to not get constantly verbally abused by the people who stayed. Things started breaking down, the hotel rooms needed a lot of work, etc. yes, we reported it to the higher ups but they never did anything. I didn't quit on the spot but I did start not caring my last few weeks there.
One thing that really was frustrating, was that the higher ups still forced us to sell rooms that were problematic
(and not just something like a stain on the carpet, but these rooms had broken beds, bedbugs, half the time they didn't get cleaned because the room cleaners and maintenance were always quitting. Some rooms had broken heaters/aircon units it was worse when in the middle of winter there were unheated rooms we were still told to sell. The thing is, winters where I'm from often are below zero degrees at night. In general crappy place to work)
I left the job because I got another job elsewhere.
I later learned the hotel was closed down because of unsanitary conditions and bills not being paid.
I love employers who run businesses in at will states who think you owe them 2 weeks notice when you get another job, because it’s professional, but fire you on the spot for whatever. I heard a businesswoman complaining about it at work the other day. Just love it.
I worked for one day at a retirement home-
That work environment was absolute hell-
I was getting yelled at left and right, I wasn't allowed to take breaks (I was working a back to back double shift of four hours each, plus I'm under 18 so that wasn't allowed. The law in my state is that employees under 18 need at least one ten minute break per four hour shift)
The person training me was completely incompetent and kept getting me in trouble, the other employees at the retirement home treated me like garbage, and I almost got groped by an old man twice.
So I quit right when my second shift was done.
The doggy daycare job was a dream for me. I'm retired and had the time to work for a cause instead of money and this daycare was huge with multiple outdoor playgrounds. Two hours in I asked when the dogs go outside to play instead of being g caged up in huge groups in the building. The answer was they don't. 80 dogs urinated on the floors and had zero time to run or chase or even potty on the grass. I was disappointed and disgusted.
Wtf? I wonder if the pet owners were aware of this. I'd be furious if I paid for doggy day care for my babies, and learned that's what they were getting. That's not day care. I could just leave them at home and it would be a better situation.
Lol I might have taken a bunch of pictures and blown the whistle on the whole establishment. Send copies to all their clients, and maybe local news. I feel certain there's a lawsuit there somewhere.
I don't know what it's like in America, but in Australia I'm pretty sure that's illegal in several respects. The RSPCA would issue several care directives and if they weren't obeyed, they could potentially close down the business.
Back in 2006 I started work as a plumbers mate for a family friend, the guy claimed his last mate had been lazy and unreliable, (red flag, but as he was a family friend we believed him) started work expecting the usual hazing, being sent to get left handed screwdriver, tartan paint, or a long weight, that kind of construction site banter, instead I get verbally abused for not knowing the job he's meant to be training me to do, his public treatment of me encourages the other trade apprentices to abuse me also, up to and including vandalizing my tools. The job had a 3 month probationary period, I waited until the company confirmed I had passed probation, booked a weeks holiday through their head office without telling the family friend, he got snotty with me the day I told him I was taking a week off, during that week I wrote a letter to the company owner telling them I was quitting, and why, and never showed up the day I was due back. The kicker was that the family friend must have known something was up, because he called me on my week off, before I had written the letter, telling me he expects to see me back on the day my holiday was ending. Additional kicker, the owner never contacted me to ask for any further info or to try and convince me to stay. We also cut ties with that now former family friend. F*ck you Andy!
"vandalizing my tools" Oh HELL NO >:(
Had a boss yell at me for not putting a till full of cash on the counter to help staff with orders. I cursed him out, which surprised everyone as I was pretty quiet up until then. Tossed my apron and didn't look back.
I worked at Dunkin Donuts , I took a vacation to focus on my mental health and one day my mom came home from getting me a bagel , told me I’m not going back there because my manager had told people I was in a mental institution.
Wow. You've got a great mum.
A little over a year ago, I was working at Dollar General, and one day I got my second vaccine and I was feeling really sick afterwards, so a couple hours before I had to go into work, I called saying that I am sick and I won't be able to come in. My manager raised her voice and pratically said too bad, find your own replacement. I did not, and I did not come into work that night. The next day, I walked in with my two week notice. I have had problems working there already, but that was my final straw
Young people, don't take any sh!+ from toxic bosses. If they scream and yell then scream back. If they threaten violence then get ready to fight back.. Grab a weapon if you have to, and ladies if it's a man go for the balls. In the end walk away and walk tall.
7:04 A big employer with a bulls eye I had worked for while in school, they knew I could only work nights as I have to be up for school at 6 am... I was scheduled 3pm to 10 pm I wouldn't get out until midnight to 2 am... I had blisters on my feet from running around... My blisters had blisters... I needed to take it easy they flipped out... A co-worker was under age 18 and had to clock out at a certain time, every time... weird labor laws here... So my co-worker turns 18 and can be scheduled any time.... That night my "manager" held me in the office telling me how bad of a worker I was, and how everyone had to come recover my dept.... NEVER HAPPENED... I left... within 2 hours I was hired for a similar job... We got out on time and I was promoted one month into that job, five months later I was promoted again as a floor manager (keyed) ... AND this job didn't screw my school and sleep schedule.... That co-worker who turned 18 quit after his second night of 2 am clock out when he (like I was) scheduled to work til 10 pm
When a manager tells an employee that for MONTHS they were not doing the job right, but never corrected it issue or bothered to train the employee in the first place is a BAD manager....
It's always fun being told to train somebody to do a job that should have gone to you.
Same thing happened to my brother, let's just say his now former employer was surprised when he resigned since they thought that he was a "lifer",
and so thought that he would just put up with it 👎😂😂
22:13 Power move: Say okay and then leave as you did
Worked in a Kitchen down the road from my old place. They assumed that, since I had experience working in Kitchens, I knew exactly where everything was in theirs.
Day 3 (Sunday and it's the busiest day of the week) they decided that I should be ok by myself. So from 6pm to 10pm I was by myself, trying to find where they kept food.
I didn't go back after that.
My grandmother was the only mother I ever knew. Grandfather was the only father I ever knew. One day 3 years ago, my grandmother had the BIG stroke and was in the hospital dying. My wife called LayZboy (I was a final assembler for electric sofas) and they said they wouldnt tell me about it because I was too busy (they had just shut down every plant but the one in Arkansas and the one in Missouri where I worked and transferred the load orders from the other plants to us). My wife KICKED down the front door and walked a mile and a half to the OTHER end of the plant where I was, told me and we both walked out. On my way out the plant manager was begging me not to go (we were working Monday thru sunday on 10 hour days) and I balled one fist up and knife handed him in the face and with tears in my eyes I said "I will ask permission for vacation, but not for my family, damn you for this". Grandma was gone before I could get to her in time. Next time I saw that manager he apologized profusely and asked if I want my job back with a raise and I said "I want my mother back, at least long enough to say thank you and goodbye".
I still get furious thinking about it.
That bait and switch crap regarding jobs just ticks me off. Before I retired I worked in an industry where a certain type of job was very coveted, and whenever you saw an advertisement for one, many, many people applied for it. Nine times out of ten they were just head hunting for good people. I was very good at my job and was often head hunted, I would ask them specifically if it was for said position, then told yes, only to waste my time interviewing to find out it was for a much lower position, and they only wanted to get good people on their team. How on earth a company thinks you will work for them when they outright lie to get you to come talk to them. I also interviewed at a place, and was told what the starting salary was, then my future boss told me she was giving me the high end of the budgeted salary. She then handed me the budget for the place to give me an idea of what we were working with. Turns out she shorted me 8k in pay just so she could get herself a bigger bonus at the end of the year. I told her I can't work for someone that would lie to me. If she had told me honestly that there was room for a raise later, and not that she was paying me on the highest end, I might have taken it, but lying, that is a big no for me.
Boss: Lies to employee
Employee: Rejects job offer/quits

Congratufuckinlations. You are the UA-cam expert
I was a hostess at an Indian restaurant owned by a couple from Bombay. Their food was the best you could get in the area, and it was super nice and beautiful inside. The wife was the head chef, and super sweet. She treated all the staff like her children, and made sure we all ate a huge meal everyday we worked and just looked out for us. Her husband liked to walk around like a king, and just Lord over everybody. He hired a new waiter who was from south America and didn't speak English very well - it was also his first time as a server. This wasn't a problem, but the way I had to do my job meant that I had to follow a certain order for my sections so it would be fair for each server. Never a problem. Well, this guy's first night, he got a party of almost 20 people, and the owner was leaving as they came in. I told the new guy it was his turn, and asked if he either wanted to pass this, and I'd make it up, or if he wanted to get another server to help. He said pass, so we passed. We were all satisfied, and no one had to get stressed out. I wrote a note about it in the book, and that was that.
Or so I thought.
The next day I came in, and was literally screamed and cursed at for being a racist. He was about to fire me for it - had already fired the other server (not the new guy), but I shouted over him about who the real racist was and walked out.
I was just in shock. All I did was help a kid that wasn't ready to handle that many people at once. Screw that guy.
God Help Us ALL. Hope people can learn integrity and respecting others. Greed is awful
22:12 seriously wtf is wrong with people who not only abuse minimum wage workers but say shut like that to them? This is why wages of people are quitting these jobs, people don’t wanna be treated like shut for minimum wage and no support
In the US, the first one, employees are required to be paid to be on standby for work. This means he should’ve been paid for waiting for a call with probably OT. They would have a case if they decide to go after that business.
worked at a meat processing factory wasnt too bad a job until the supervisor came back after being off a long time due to some illness but soon as she was back the job became hell , anyway oneday my dad dropped me off to work and i got out and he drove off and i asked myself would i rather go to work today or walk 20 miles back home, i choose to walk all the way back home thats when i knew this wasn't the job for me anymore.
Had a company cut my salary without telling me.
Nearly had a stroke from being overworked. Only making 50k a year no thanks. Welfare is better than death. I'm only 32.
"Oh, this is the standard contract. It just hasn't been updated for your specific offer."
"No problem, (pulls out pen), strike through here, initial here, change this number, initial here, there you go. Fixed."
I had a boss called me a dumb A$$. That was my last day.
Why does it in no way surprise me that there's a Walmart story on here?
A manager at a job I used to work at assaulted me
Was WalMart cashier. (Multiple) rude customer s). Management: must have been your fault. The third time they threw me under the bus, I walked out.
I was put on prohibition for not promoting a product to a customer who had said earlier they didn't want said product. It was for 4 weeks, I met everything they asked me to during this. They decided rather then end the prohibition, to extend it another 2 weeks, past where the option to transfer to another department and get a permenant contact would be up for that year. Handed in my notice later that day.
you mean probation...?
Given a job as woodworking machinery. Arrived early but shop was locked and no-one there ten minutes later, I walked down the sidewalk. Then up the sidewalk and stood outside. After an hour, the boss arrived and opened the door to greet me with anger as the work enterence was on the street behind where we were standing. Oh l said I'll go there and walked off with my pride intact.
Seriously people, stop letting your employers do anything but pay you every penny your owed on time
As I once told a manager I’m not unicef I’m not a charity I don’t work for free if they mess with your money there not worth working for
My boss quit and I did too when they replaced her with someone just because she was a close friend of a higher level boss without giving her any training. Good luck in managing stuff that only me and my ex-boss could do in that local office (ofc people in the main office also know that stuff but they haven't trained the new boss at all)
One nursing home job I had always had me work like real late then came in real early the next morning to unload supply truck. And I NEVER could get weekends off. When I asked to have ONE Saturday off to go visit my sister who I don't see anymore for years since she moved away, boss told me in summary "When we hired you, you told us that it was okay you never have weekends off. Either you work Saturday or don't come back." I literally said "DCB then!" and walked off. And mind you, she ALWAYS gave herself Saturday and Sunday off...
Worked at a Wendys for 2 or 3 months I wanted part time since I was doing classes at that moment and just wanted to be making some cash while doing it. They put me on full time making me work 9+ hours. I say 9+ bc I was on closing shift and had to help clean everything so I didn't get off until like 3 in the morning a lot of the time so 9 hours usually became 11 or close to 12 anyways. They never gave me break and I got sick of it so 1 day I was really tired from not getting much sleep at all and about 5 hours into my shift I took it upon myself to give myself a break and clocked out for a 15 minute break and went to the subway next to us to get a sub and sat down to eat it. Then the manager came over to tell me she didn't say I could go on break and that was it for me I got up took my hat and apron off laid them on the table and walked out without saying a word
The lady writing the roster claimed she didn't know I was supposed to work that day.
Some people are just sadistic.....sure Ill berate someone as hard as I can knowing they will be laid off tomorrow.
I used to work for a mid-Atlantic grocery chain. my work hours had been slashed from 40 a week to 6, and one day, there was a note from the store manager that I was to clean the break room. I went upstairs and took one look at the trashed tiny room and NOPE’d back downstairs, finished my shift and never went back.
Apparently the summer camp I work at screwed over the person that everyone likes and makes it all run smoothly at the end of last summer, and all the senior staff quit with them. I and a few others didn't know because we weren't there the last week for various reasons. This camp and what we taught was once a community and a lifestyle, now it's just a job. It was already going down hill but this was the nail in the coffin and I'm going to their competitors next year. It used to be that you could just ask around to learn some really niche skills, now all those people are gone and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find them. It makes me really sad, this place made me into who I am.
Wanted to quit my job but the pandemic did it for me… . That’s all :D
Didn't let me have a lunch break or any kind of breaks, so I'd be working for four hours straight (I'm a minor so four hours was all I got) getting hungry halfway through, ask for my lunch break. Told I only had two hour left, I could wait till my shift ended, and sent back to the drivethrough to deal with hangry customers while I was also hangry. And when I first started they expected me to work an 11 hour shift, starting from the middle of the school day to closing time, (again, I'm a minor) I called and told them this and they told me to just come in right then and only do fours hours. It was nine in the morning, I had school, told them this and said I'd be there when school was over.
Had to take a while off work for mental health and they kept calling while I was at the hospital to ask when I was coming in. Dad had my phone at the time and kept telling them I wasn't coming in and that I was on sick leave.
A week after I got back I had to take care of my grandparents cause my grandfather fell and needed help and I told them I just needed one more week and I'd be back to the job.
I was told I needed to prioritize my job over everything and asked if I even wanted to job. Even though I did want the job something in me snapped and I told them to just take me off the schedule and hung up.
Now I'm getting started on my small buisness making jewelry and haven't been happier
The first story reminds me of something that would happen at one of my previous jobs. I worked for a health services organization where employees would communicate primarily through email, but also used an IM system (similar to Slack) known as Jabber. I had one supervisor who, while very nice and helpful, had a habit of asking a question via Jabber, then sending three or four more messages while you were trying to respond to the first.
Boss, short temper
NOPE
Nice
10:08 sounds like the shit that would happen at Amazon. I’ve dropped heavy shit on my toes, been visibly drenched in sweat and exhausted, clearly had trouble with the box conveyor belt giving more than I could handle, and more.
Nobody gave a shit.
2:34 I tell you, I don't understand why corporations do bullshit like this. This happened to my mom, where she was the best manager in her sector (at a hospital), and was recommended by everyone for a promotion. For whatever reason though, they gave the promotion to someone else that wasn't nearly as qualified.
Jokes on them though, she quit her position and moved to a new one in a different sector, and now she's doing basically the same stuff, but for more pay, and she can work from home.
The best thing about working at kfc was you could make you own creation with the food for dinner
Why quit and put them in a bind when you can stay and keep them in one.
Work nights for years. Got the day shift. 3 months later they scheduled me back to nights. I quit and found a job that paid the same starting. The company folded a couple of years later.
Why do so many businesses DO this?? Your employee tells you *from the interview* that they need XYZ time off, and you just, what, decide No They Don’t? Jeez…
Worked for Getir briefly. They hired too many ppl when starting in NYC. They hired too many ppl and then had to cut hours until ppl started quitting. Then came the metrics. Suddenly, everyone is moving too slow. Had to improve. And so on. Which was weird because I had gotten a performance bonus during this time. Quit after the third store manager (in 2 or 3 months) for my location told me I had to shape up again.
Clearly I'm not good enough for this cause you're the third manager to tell me this. I'm out.
Things are better there now I heard but those few weeks were wild.
Very unprofessional to get stabbed on the job…. Probably would have gotten written up for not cleaning up the blood
I worked at a holistic clinic and I liked the job. I thought what they had going on seemed kinda like a pyramid scheme to me but whatever I needed a job so I stuck around. I use gain laundry detergent and they told me that I couldn’t use it because they were “highly sensitive to it” Bc their bodies have “detoxed all the toxins out” and said I needed to get a fragrance free laundry detergent.. I quit that day lmao sounds petty but I mean how can you tell someone what detergent they can and can’t use. 😭 that’s why it smelled like a retirement home in there
Also one of my coworkers was so rude and just didn’t like me for no reason. She randomly bought presents for everyone besides me one day. 🤣 and they would make me do literally EVERYTHING while they sat around doing basically nothing 🥲
Any time anyone says the word "holistic" to me, I hear "bullshit" since that's what it's always turned out to be.
Apparently hate walmart for a manager being terrible
For his fiancay 😂😂😂
I worked in a postal center for two months. I learned 9 months of material in 3 weeks, got certified as a notary in 3 weeks, got certified for fingerprints and passports in 2 weeks, arrived on time, opened and closed the store almost daily, then they told me that im "uncoachable" and slashed my hours from 32 per week to 7.
I turned in my key that day, wrote a letter of resignation and left. They tried to contact me a few times in the days following but I gave them no response. If I advance that far that quickly then Im damn coachable, they're just bad coaches.
I once worked at a Christian bookstore. One night me and the owners wife were counting out my register, and came up $50 short. I was counting all the cash and she was counting the checks, money larger than a $20 bill, and credit cards. We counted over and over again, all the while she was accusing me of stealing money. She told me to admit to stealing the money or she would call the police. We were there for an hour and a half, and finally I called her husband to come to the store. When her husband arrived, we counted out the till again, and magically there was a $50 bill that she had somehow missed every time we counted out the register. Then she said “okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I told her husband that I would never comeback to the store and will tell everyone I know what she had done.
People don’t quit jobs. They quit management
you don't have to give any place 2 weeks notice. what are they going to do, abduct you and make you a slave for 2 weeks? just leave, fam.
I never gave a two week notice to Wendy’s I’m like fck outta here no one called or anything best thing I ever did I was there four years in high school for spending money then system another three got a way better job know and I love it
I was doing the work of a part time associate, department head and stocking crew at my previous job, left without giving notice
@@charlescourtwright2229 Some mornings I did the jobs of two or more people cause they knew they could take advantage of me at the time and adding more stuff for me to do the GM was the only one who helped me open the store we split jobs in half and opened on time we had some lazy ass people in the mornings even the shift leaders were lazy I did their job to I had it and left they never called me back a month after I quit a worker came up to me while I was shopping cussed me out cause she had to work my shift I’m like oh well and walked away I don’t you anything I said that to her cause she had to actually work and this girl was one of the lazy ones and favorites of the bunch

This apparently very very little known you are paid to use the restroom it doesn’t matter what state you are in for the maximum of 20 minutes ANY employer tries to ANYTHING to your pay and you can prove it was less then 20 report them to department of labor for that as it’s illegal for a company to tamper with your pay
*shudders* slack really does give you some kind of trauma
Nice Co-

Making a violent ex criminal my boss
And now I'm curious how you make a quesadilla out of McDonald's food items

A better job offer..
this was a... *nice* video
Stopped watching after the fifth commercial.
Hahaha yep I did this just a couple days ago
Used to work in a DIY store for 6 years. Was one of the few that volunteered to work on sundays(it paid 200%, so why the hell not) while most others refused. After a few years, we got a new manager. The dude suddenly took me off sundays as other people started complaining that I made too much money. Told him that I was one of very few who stepped forward to work sundays and that everyone had their chance but refused to take it. Dude took me off sundays again next week. Told him he could piss off, quit on the spot. They had to hire 3 people to replace me. Idiots. Working R&D now, making double the store managers salary. He can shove it.
Too many effing ads
Very noice
woah frist view

When my manager was on the phone with a customer, he got upset and slammed his fist down on the desk suuper hard and it shook everything on it. I was like noope and walked out.
