You can get a new job, you can NOT get new morals or self respect. I've left jobs or changed jobs because the mgmt or post was so bad. Private Security has high turn over due to the low wages, lack of proper management. 90% of security firms are poorly run, not well organized.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Kohen Trevor i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Not exactly a "quit on the spot", but back at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was shutting down. My company sent out an email saying we were "essential workers" and would keep up at least 40 hours a week through the shutdown. Right after, they send out an email cutting our pay by 15%. I had been looking for a new job since. I start my new job next week.
Wow. Some places suck. We shutdown for about 2 or 3 months. As a supervisor I had to come in the weekend before we opened to help get the store ready. Typically they give us a small percentage raise every year. In 2021 to show they value their employees, the company increased everybody's pay by $1.00. it's a lot better than what they did to the staff where I had worked before; Golden Corral. I quit that years ago but kept in touch with some past co-workers. I guess they were understaffed and were having people from some positions work 2 and 3 positions but weren't giving them a pay increase or any benefit. The lady I worked with who had been a dishwasher for years quit after they screwed her over.
I quit last month from a job I really liked but manager could never show up on time, had a bad anger problem, and thought they could just keep having me climb towers without being certified. His truck was an absolute pig pen and he had BO. I started my own company again as it's 10x better than working for losers.
My sister got her first job at McDonalds when she was 16. The manager was very rude to her and berated her for not knowing how to use the cash register. Then about a week later, she got the stomach flu. She had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, you name it. So she called and said she would not be able to come in. The manager hung up on her without saying anything. Then a few hours later, the idiot manager calls back demanding to know where my sister is as "she was supposed to be there by now." She explained that she already called hours earlier saying she had the stomach flu. The manager said that was no excuse and said that she needs her in there now. My sister told her to frick off, quit on the spot, and hung up the phone.
Years ago I went for a job at McDonalds. I was hired the same time as a guy. I did not want to work the register and he said he did. The manager said he would be a cook and I would be register ( despite me having actual experience on a grill and fryers ). She didnt say, but I think it was policy at the time. I didnt last two months.
First job was McDonald's. Worked there for 7 years. Made it all the way up to salary, though I was still training. Moved about 2 hours away and managed to stay salary. Store manager didn't want to finish training me and gave me three options. 1. Transfer to a different store. 2. Switch to overnights only. 3. Drop back down to shift manager with a pay cut. I took option 4 and quit.
"He should be dead by saturday so it's ok." I never understood why jobs place heavy restrictions on who can work at them but still allow people like that to get the job.
from what i understand, the corporate modal mimics the feudal model. so you need whippers who whip your sla.. employee's. not having a conscience isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Texas roadhouse! Was supposed to be out at 4. Had a Dr. Appointment i couldn't miss at 5 and a date at 7. Guy who was supposed to relieve me didnt show up. Was kept till 11 missing both. Finally the guy who was supposed to take over shows up. And they wanted me to stay and help him. They didn't even reprimand him. But they threatened me when i said i had to go. Left and never went back. Tried to screw me on my last check too
If a doctors appointment is really important and can’t be missed like you said, next time just walk out, your health is way more important then any job!
@Collie Flower no but in Texas they can fire you for no reason legally so instead of fireing you for leaving early cuz your sick or have a doctors appointment they fire you without stating a reason and you cant do anything about it. Its a crappy but technically legal buissness practice. And its not like a cook making min wage can afford a lawyer over it if it wasn't
The lady that told the person that had a mom dying of cancer “it won’t matter whether or not they’re there” clearly doesn’t know about emotional support, or “The Power of Positive Thinking”.
After I got back from medic training in the army (I'm reserve) I struggled to find work in my field (rural area) and took the first job I could at a Lowe's working as a forklift operator. About 4 months later I finally get a job in healthcare working as a hospital med tech. My boss at lowes refuses to give me days off to go to orientation on the grounds of "youve been here for a while and need to show some loyalty if you want to stay here part time" (my initial plan) to which I reply "get fucked" and walked out. Two years later I left the hospital to become a first responder and had an almost identical exchange with my supervisor. Took off my badge and walked out in my scrubs. A uear and some change later and ive never been happier
When I was in the Netherlands, an IT guy got a job at another company. The company threw him a party, with alcohol. Everyone made speeches, including the manager, wishing him well. They were really happy for him. Opened my eyes to how it should be done.
I worked for the most uptight manager that got me in trouble because I accidentally said 'dude' during a convo. He accused me of being disrespectful, and I said I was done working there. He asked if it was a two weeks notice, and I said 'no, this is my 2 second notice, I'll be back at noon for my check' and walked out. I'm not badass, it was payday... Lol
I had an a-hole manager. He abused me of stealing when the register was short and threatened to call the police. Now, I know typically a cashier alone and management have access to the drawers but.. the company made everybody leave their time cards by the computer so anybody could've taken them. It turns out that when drawers were off it was actually somebody who worked on the kitchen using those cards. But that particular day the drawer was so short because the opening manager didn't do the change over correctly. And when the a-hole informed me the next day, he didn't even apologize.
This was when I was in my early twenties but I got a job at RadioShack and I was so poor, I couldn’t afford much clothes. Pretty much the one shirt and one pair of pants were what I wore everyday. Well I mustered enough money to buy one more shirt and I asked my manager what color shirts I can buy. He said white, black, and red. I wanted to buy red because it i didn’t care for the other colors. So I went and bought the shirt. Well, the next day I wore my red shirt and I was on the sales floor. Next thing I know, the same manager is literally screaming at me in front of customers that I shouldn’t wear red because ONLY managers wear red. I literally took off to the break room fuming. It was starting to get busy and I literally just walked out and never turned back.
I worked at a restaurant. There were loads of issues leading up to this point but this is the story of when I just left them hanging. I had a second job as a lyft driver and a very large music festival was coming up. I really needed the money from lyft because my husband was out of a job. I also new I would not be able to get that weekend off because it was already made clear that no one could. So I told my boss that I will work my shift, but I have to leave immediately after to Lyft I would not be able to cover or stay late. He agreed. One week before the festival he comes to me and says that he made a mistake and gave 2 of my coworkers the weekend off so they could go to the festival. And instead of going back on his word he was hoping I could work a 17 hour shift both Friday and Saterday. I was disappointed but I agreed because hey at least it would be overtime. I would make a loss but with the overtime it would not be that bad. He then said that I would not receive overtime and instead he would switch my schedule to where I had 4 days off instead of 2. So not only would i miss the music festival and not be able to drive, but at the end of the week I would loose 2 hours of pay for this favor. Told him I would not be returning for my next shift.
My whole life was turned upside down. Took a summer job at a hotel before finishing up college. The manager liked me & said 'you've job here in hotel management after graduation if you want it.' I was already a manager there, knew the business, so came back & said 'OK, I'm here for the job.' "Oh, didn't I tell you? We canceled our training program." Been working hourly jobs ever since. :(
How the heck do manage to deny familial med leave especially given that the fmla(family medical leave act US law) exists requiring companies grant paid/unpaid leave
I used to work the night shift for a shipping company at an airport. I worked outside with the airplanes, and I had been trained on every piece of equipment we had outside, as well as almost every airplane. I was even captain qualified, which meant that I was trained to organize which containers went in/out of the aircraft if they needed me to do so. But despite all of those things, I was still getting the same pay as the guy who had just started working outside. The straw that broke the camel's back? The fact that I hadn't been getting a break during my shift. For an entire week. I talked to the person in charge of scheduling and told her: "hey, I haven't been getting a break because I don't have the time to stop. Can you change the schedule a bit so I get a chance to at least eat?" And she basically told me to suck it up and deal with it. I asked multiple people to talk to her about it but nothing changed. It got to the point where I would break down crying after work because I was so exhausted. I quit soon after she told me to deal with it for the 3rd time and I haven't looked back since.
I got a job out of high school doing landscaping for a guy my dad and I both knew. I knew he was a cheap pos before I worked for him but i needed money. First day he asks me to come by his place to help him put in fence posts on his property. I did the job no problem. After 10 hours of being ridiculed for not knowing how to perfectly align fence posts, I asked him if I would get paid for that day, he asked why he should pay for half a$$ed work. I proceeded to fill the cab of his skidsteer with dirt. Remember kids: Good labour ain't cheap, cheap labour ain't good.
I was an overnight maintenance/janitor for the King of fast food. I showed up at 10pm for my shift and they told me i had to get my 8 hour shift done in 3 hours to leave with the crew instead of staying alone in the store to save labor. Also the kitchen closer and front closer walked out so do their closing tasks as well. If you can't do it all or go into overtime, you get written up for wasting labor. I secured my equipment and walked out.
When I worked at a KFC as a teenager I was always told off because I wasn't 15mins early (no reason, just because) I was always five minutes before never late. In the end I left and never came back because the manager was being a bitch and refused to let me take a taxi home. I was on late shift finishing at midnight, they paid for taxis home but no one was going in my direction and she wouldn't pay for me alone. I was a poor teenager with literally no money. I was forced to walk through the bad area in the dead of night. Thankfully a coworker was getting a lift from her mum and she stopped me 5 minutes later and drove me home (45 minutes if speed walk) I only went back for my pay packet
Got told i can either Quit or be fired because I had too much time off. now the back story: I worked 2 jobs in the same building, I'd start at 6AM with the cleaning crew till 10am, 9/10AM I'd start with the cinema crew doing about everything in the building - finish anywhere from 6pm to midnight mostly, but typically every other day 4pm till 3am, so I'd stay over then grind through the next day. I did this for 2 years and completely ignored the health issues this caused. What was the last straw was one of the few times I actually got to go home, we had a massive snowstorm - almost a foot of snow. When i let my various managers know i'm snowed in - can't get a bus across the city, can't get a taxi - couldn't even get a takeaway! when it all clears up (a few days later) get told I have a meeting with cleaning job area manager (cinema was super understanding, paid time off cause they know if i can make it, damn sure i'll be there). Got told others could make it in, pointed out they all live literally 5 mins walk away only boss & myself had to drive to work, other supervisor lived a few doors down, i live a 3 hour walk to work, then a 3 hour walk back & all other travel options was off the table, absolutely not advisable even if my knee wasn't wrecked from an accident they was fully aware of. Yeah, No. I was not opening manager anytime that week, I had turned around our failing weekly inspections, well liked amongst the crew and absolutely pulled my weight in both jobs (employee of the year, let alone month for about 6 months straight), could even smooth things over with the higher ups in the cinema over how poor the cleaning had gotten. Even gave up holidays & stuff to supervise another team at a different location on the few days i had free from cinema & their site.
It was my first job out of college and it was terrible. One day I booked a week off to take my toddler for a followup appointment after his surgery. I had had the surgery done when I was on holidays but the checkup was 6 weeks later and a 7 hour drive one way and I still had a week of holiday owed to me so I had booked the appointment and my boss told me I couldn't go because it wasn't his problem that I had a sick kid, he said he had never taken time off for a sick kid yada yada yada. I pointed out that he had a wife to take care of his kids and he said it wasn't his fault I didn't have a wife. I walked to my desk, typed out a resignation letter and handed it to him. He was totally shocked. I also told him I now knew why no one but me had lasted in the job more than a month, I lasted just short of a year, and between him and the office manager, a major bitch, he would never have any long term employees. The office manager was not my manager but was determined to lord it over me and I had actually been asked during my initial interview if I could work with a bitch, I naively said Sure.
Came back from covid furlough, I told them I wasn't going to work the same hours (because I was out of shape, drinking beers in the garage watching people do their covid walks with their families.) I worked there long enough that I would still be making decent money. They took $4 per hour off for working less time. I quit and turned around and started my own business. This week I made more than two weeks there.
I quit my grocery job because the head of my dep gave my hours away to someone who was barely there. Long story short I quit and have since gotta better job that allows me to travel for free. ETA 14:37 if you work for an airline or independent contractor with outdated equipment better hope no one calls OSHA because they can shut anybody down with outdated equipment and manuals.
Worked at a kfc/tacobell split. Went through 3 managers. Was there for over 2 years. 2nd manager was training me for asm/management spot, 3rd temp manager cut me from it entirely. Called a coworker to go in for me I quit that morning a month after the new manager took over. Place went to shit apparently 🤣
I was a cashier when the pandemic really hit the US and the lockdowns started. I was having symptoms that matched up and told my manager as much. My manager made me work another two and a half hours after I told her "I am having telltale symptoms of this deadly virulent disease and I could be passing it on to the customers." I never went back after someone finally relieved me
I have worked the whole pandemic as a cashier and my job is such a small job with 5 employees and it's open seven days a week but basically we were told if anyone gets it they're fired because they're not going to pay us to be off for two weeks and if we have to be off for two weeks they couldn't wait on us to get back and it's a crap job anyway and I am looking for a new one which shouldn't be hard because there's a ton open
Worked at a rinky-dink little fish & chip shop somewhere in Texas. Not only did the owner also was an owner/landlord of what were essentially slums (He got the rent checks brought in through the restaurant) but I was told to keep an eye on the manager they hired even though I stepped down as a manager; they essentially wanted me to be a babysitter to two grown-ass adults, one of which was a manager they hired...
What i learned from this video. Never work a minute for free, ever. Know your priorities, don't sacrifice your health (both physical and metal) for money. Also, don't put a POS job above your loved ones.
Axioms of a Job: ABL: Always be looking for a new job/opportunity. You cannot depend on them or their promises. Depend on you. ABS: Always be saving so fear is not your motivation for staying. MYI: Make yourself indispensable. Make it hard to fire you, and cause automatic retribution if they do. NGT: Never give two-weeks. They don't have to, so neither do you. Bottomline: Stay self focused while appearing to be them focused.
After being accused of lying by one of my managers, and after being treated like a criminal because I was a bit sick lately, the last straw for me was when my other manager hissed at me "If you don't take your apprenticeship seriously, please, go ahead and tell me." That was the last straw. I've powered through two days the week before with tonsillitis and on 2 hours of sleep before I couldn't do it anymore and went sick again the other three, and on this day I came in with an allergic reaction to being stung by a wasp INTO MY DOMINANT HAND because I still could make myself useful SOMEHOW. And then I get to hear this. I'm slaving away for this hotel, this COMPANY, and this is the thanks I get for this? Nah fam. I haven't done anything different since I started my apprenticeship February 2020 than cleaning rooms. Learned nothing but housekeeping. Slaved away because I hoped for better times. Nah fam. That was too much. I immediately marched towards the staff secretary and told her I want to be released from this hotel so I can continue my apprenticeship somewhre else.
I was working at a bar attached to a high end restaurant(cheapest steak was $40) as a bar back. There were 3 bartenders and 4 cocktail waitresses. There were over 100 people in the bar. I was the only bar back. It was my job to bring out food, clear empty glasses and bottles, get the bar the liquors and spirits they need, and reset tables. The manager chewed me out for not moving fast enough, so I move faster. The manager chewed me out for not keeping the bar stocked, so I stocked the bar. The manager chewed me out for not getting the cocktail waitresses food to the tables on time and screamed at me in the bar that he could do a better job. I took my apron off and told him to do it then. He followed me out of the building yelling the entire time about how I would never work there again. “Good, you’ve got one person on shift to cover 4 peoples worth of work. Have fun doing it better.” When he looked back at the bar, omg the look of pure terror in his eyes when he realized the amount of people in the bar. Came back to pick up my check and tips the next week and the general manager told me he fired that manager for drinking a full bottle of makers mark every day he worked and continuously yelling at employees both in front of customers and in the back. 4.15 an hour was definitely not worth it.
I am currently looking for work and this video scares me. I am so done with being treated poorly. Employers acting like you are somehow being disloyal if you take your time off ( pittifally small ) , if you only work the hours you are paid for, etc.
I was working as a biller for a cardiologist and after his two MAs quit, he started slowly pushing their responsibilities onto me on top of my billing stuff (which were submitting claims, preauths and AR/collection follow ups), soon I had to do reception crap, call patients for upcoming appointments and check-in/out. Then my dad got COVID and when he tested positive, I was ready to pull my son from school so we could quarantine and he basically begged me to still work despite us being in close contact and living with a COVID-positive person. I knew there and then it was time to find another job. I found another job a month later as part of a hospital’s AR/denial team that paid more and now I work from home and pretty soon I’ll be on the coding team when a spot opens up.
I used to work at a shitty electronics store with one of the most power hungry managers ever. We were constantly working overtime, she would always play favorites and talk shit about all of her employees (there was like 6 of us) behind our backs. She got one guy fired and the place fucked me up so bad I was literally contemplating suicide. I finally walked in on my day off and said I quit with no notice. Best decision I ever made
Never quit on the spot but when my manager came in on a day he was supposed to be on holiday after I'd had to give that day up (the first four days I was helping run a scout camp). It left me really spiteful. When he returned from his holiday he was immediately faced with my 1 month notice.
I was moving a company with 3 plants onto new hardware and software. We did the rollout over labor day, giving us 3 days. For a week, I would come in at 8 am, leave at 3pm, come back at 11pm and babysit the nightly routines for 2 -3 hours. I was the lead programmer, not the manager. He put in normal hours. So did the head of the department. requested a Friday off, and it was granted but reluctantly. I came back Monday to find the IT manager and the department head had both taken a week off.
Was a overnight restocker at a grocery store. Myself and one other person were looking into a manager position that had recently opened up. I suddenly started being treated like shit by everyone. Constant leaving majority of work for me, comments, etc. Went to the store manager multiple times and nothing happened. Walked into work one night and am told my shift had been covered and if I didn't leave they'd call the police. That was the end of it. Quit right then and there. Been at my new/current job for 3 months now making more hours and money than I would have being a manager at the store. The person who got manager position over me has since stepped down because it was "too much" for him to deal with.
I was working in produce at a Canadian grocery store. I got a long with everyone except my assistant manager. My store manager and department manager love me. Anyways assistant manager starts ripping me apart, infront of customers, for not doing something right, even though I didn't do it. I stop him, walk and go hand in my 2 week notice. My last shift my store manager sees me and im punching out, he asks when my next shift is, I said I quit because of verbal abuse from my assistant manager. So he decided to rip apart that assistant manager in the back room.
My great aunt Shelley Hallock used to work for a newspaper company. One day the boss showed her two pictures and asked her which one was better quality. After choosing the picture, the boss said “WRONG! YOU’RE FIRED!” and the other employees, one of which was my grandma Ruth and auntie Shelley’s mom, all walked out and quit their jobs at the same time because of the jerk boss and the company went out of business as a result
I didn't rage quit but gave my notice as I had 300 hours of unused annual leave that I wanted have paid out. The final straw was that the hotel I was Working at were deliberately overselling more expensive room types and then downgraded the guests to a similar but cheaper room. The higher powers did not change the room rates. The receptionists and reservationists were not allowed to advise guests they were allocated a lower room type as the hotel was struggling financially. This was why the guests were being overcharged in a way to get more money. My work ethic and honest values were compromised due to this illegal practice.....and I'm a terrible liar so it killed me each time everytime I handed over room keys to a Room they were not paying for. BTW this was not a small roadside motel.... It was a 5 star inner city hotel part of a global hotel company.
I once worked at a hotel where the manager wanted us to answer the phone: "It's a beautiful day in Thousand Oaks, how may I help you?" I did it once & the guy laughed so hard. Never again. Then the boss said, "Just answer the phone however you want."
@@phlushphish793 I worked in another hotel where there was a strong French influence (this alone will give the hotel chain name away) and we had to say all greetings in French irrespective of our own background. Im in Australia so the bogan Aussie guests are like "why do you say *BON-JOO-A* like you're in France? This is a-STRAY-ya. Speak a-STRAY-an". We couldn't say 'they make us say it'
Worked as a trainee in a small bakery shop many years ago. Both the owner and his son (daily manager) would often talk down to me and make small mistakes into huge things. What made me quit was when I was asked to go get some custard powder. I saw to sacks wityh yellow powder in them, with nothing written on the sacks. Turned out that wasn't custard powder, but a corn flour mixture. After the daily manager berated me for taking the wrong stuff, I pointed at my thick glasses and asked him "can you tell the difference, because I can't". He then went into the bakery and yelled to everyone "yes! I'm a genius, I can see what the difference is!" Then the owner came over and told me "it's really rude and disrespectful of you to talk back to my son like that!" Yes, I asked what the difference was - and that was CLEARLY my fault! Shame on me for not having perfect vision, right? I never showed up for work again.
My last job was a TINY restaurant job, I told them I needed to work in the back, doing dishes and whatever work in the back because I cant work in crowded spaces and with people, after 2 days they expected me to adapt right away and the boss kept telling me "youre just not getting it, you dont understand, you're a child and I'm an adult" (I was 18, not like 14) So after the third day he approached me, he told me I'd no longer be working in the back and made me work in the front, I had an anxiety attack so bad that I had a manic episode in the bathroom, so much tears, when I went home I fell into an immediate depression that made me quit immediately. They didn't treat me right.
I had just moved to CO in the early 90s. No money, no place to live. Moved into the homeless shelter. Found out a fast-food chain was hiring, so I went and applied and for the job. I had worked for the company back home in Vegas so I wouldn't need much training. My first day on the job a little stressful getting back up to speed on system and the back. The 3rd day. These 2 girls thought they were cats meow. Latest of everything. They were in the back doing prep. I was in kitchen handling orders so I could hear what they were saying very clearly. Insult after insult after insult after insult about the new girl. Assistant Manager was on duty and just let it happen. So I finished the order I was making, took off my apron, waited for the cashier to complete his order up front and clocked out. All in the middle of a rush. And anyone who's worked fast food knows it's all hands on deck during a rush
A family member of mine rage retired. He worked for a company that training and other things for the country and he had a good chunk of the country to train. He had to travel nearly between 4 to 10 hours a day (mostly a round trip). Mostly from his house to the place he has to go and back again. A good chunk of the time he had to stay in a hotel. During the tail end of the first lockdown last year, his job told/asked him to go to a place to train people in a windowless room that had barely enough room to let a few people sit. They said it was going to be around 4 people, but added about 4 or 5 more people a few days later. My relative went f this I'm not risking my health, I'm retiring. The company was shocked and didn't expect that was going to happen. Let's just say that the company took a long time to fill his old placement.
I was managing all the requests coming into the IT department, using a system that was one step up from an Excel spreadsheet and wasnt designed to track new requests through a multi-step process. My director and I figured out how to "make it work". They tortured the director into leaving, and promoted a useless employee to a manager position... who had no idea what I did or how, despite multiple attempts to teach her. She kept changing the status on the requests and I kept asking her to please stop as she was screwing up getting it through all the steps. She threatened me with my job because I kept explaining what the impacts where to her "help". I almost just quit... instead I quit fixing things she changed, and found a new job. Turned on my notice a few days later... Since I was the only one doing it, it was amusing to watch the panic. I've never been happier.
I wasn't given sufficient training. Then 2 months into working there (only part-time while I was at University), I was asked to train a new employee and then I got into trouble when they made a mistake. Handed in my notice the next day.
I didn't really rage quit, but they hired a server who was violent and emotionally unstable, and twice my size. Im a cook, and I was working in the cafe section. Cafe section gets one cook and one server, and they're alone together the whole day. They kept leaving me alone with him despite me telling them repeatedly that I did not feel safe in his presence. He was fired from his last job because they were afraid he would kill a coworker. He told us back in the kitchen one day that he would have, and was going too before they had let him go. I found a new job 2 days later and turned in my 2 weeks.
I was brought into Human Resources for using "LOL" in an email to a client I was very close to. The Client had no issues. I was called into HR on a Friday. I had an interview with another company on the following Monday and was made an offer on Wednesday morning. Sucks to have a stick up your ARSE. Bye bye Felicia!
When I was in high school I applied at Vector Marketing. I was in highschool and didn't have any money neither did my family. I was basically hired on the spot which was weird I thought. I was told to come back in a week for orientation. I found out at orientation we were a glorified door to door knife sellers. Like one of those infomercial knife sets that "never go dull". The catch after we were given a sales demo was that we would have to purchase our own demo knife sets which was like 200$. I noped the fuck out. We didn't even get paid for orientation. What kind of business makes you invest in the company at retail value to work for them? They called me for a couple weeks which was even weirder. I wonder how many people from that orientation actually bought a knife set.
Worked at hooters for 8years. On my into management 50k a year then covid hits. They bring me back asca part time new hire for 12$ an hr with 20hrs a week and erased my previous 8 year profile. Told me they needed me to make it work out. I said if i gotta start over after 8 years i might as start a new job so i left. They got the nerve to ask me if im gonna put my 2 weeks in so they can find replacement(s) for me. I just laughed and walked out.
I already had my two weeks notice in as I was moving 3 hours away to take care of family and got a work from home job. It was a busy Sunday after a stressfull week and the fifth weekend in a row I had to work. It was me another co-worker and a manager I had a bad relationship with. It got to the point where I was talking back to him at least twice a day bc he wouldn’t get off my case and tried to make me look stupid in front of our customers. He would openly contradict me even if I said the sky was blue. Guy was riding my ass all day. I was exhausted from having to scramble to pack my things and deal with family issues on top of getting inventory up to snuff. It had been a very rough Sunday and I told my co-worker I was leaving after lunch as I couldn’t stand him anymore. I apologized for leaving them in a bind but if I didn’t leave I’d knock his teeth down his throat. Nice week long to pack and clean before the move.
I was offered the job of part-time receptionist at a local newspaper. They tell me I have to come in for two night shifts, three hours at most, just to observe and become familiarized with the newspaper business. I show up at eleven PM and they instantly put me at a stand with stacks and stacks of coupon inserts. For six hours solid another woman and I were forced to shove inserts into newspapers. No break, no food, only a couple of moments when the machines stopped and we got to lean on the coupon inserts. Showed up the next night thinking, “Well, at least this is the only night I’ve got left on night shift.” Same exact thing. Four hours in, during one of the machine breaks, the lady and I talked. We were BOTH offered the job of part-time receptionists. Smelling something fishy, we hunted down a supervisor. Turns out they pulled that stunt every month or so with women; tell them they’re getting receptionist jobs, then put them on ad inserts. We were just two of many they scammed; the rest quit after a week or so. We beat that record; we walked out that very minute. Never did get my paycheck for the ten hours I worked though. But considering they were only paying me three bucks an hour (the pay for “insert jockeys” and it was 1993), it wasn’t worth the gas to try to fight for it.
I quit my first job cause my supervisor kept talking down to me a 16/17 year old high school student about the quality of my work in the hallway in front of everyone from residents to the nurses (I was a housekeeper at a nursing home) worst part is she nit picked about stuff that was found in a residents room after they had returned and had been in there for like 20+ minutes this supervisor was like 40 -50 something years old telling off a teenager who never had a job before that one
My coworker would talk about her period. Often. In detail. Almost as soon as I walked in one day, she told me it had been 3 months since she had a period and she started that day and it was "100 times worse". I tried to stay, but I was stewing. I walked out an hour into my shift. She asked "How's it going?" I replied "I don't know, but I am." She said "What?" I said "I'm going." Clocked out and walked out. In front of customers. She tried to ask why, but I wasn't gonna scream at her about her period in front of innocent customers. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. They also refused to use my name, instead using my dead name. My name was on my name tag, but they all said "In the system, it's (dead name)" 🙄😡
I have four sisters who used to do that to me a lot, especially to force me out of a room. As for what you said, I had a thought. Yeah, it's in the system that way for tax reasons since your name hadn't legally been changed yet. It wasn't that hard to change what they called you. My honest opinion though? It sounded less like malice and more like they were in a situation they didn't know how to handle. Did your coworker at least get it right? Edit: To clarify on what I said, I meant that they didn't know how to act/behave/whatever around a trans person and it unfortunately lead to a poor decision on their part and rather than apologize, make excuses.
Story of my own which has happened 2 weeks ago. So I worked in a call centre and the amount of abuse I got from both management and customers put my mental health on such a low I am now on antidepressants. And 2 weeks before I quit I had covid symptoms I called and told them and they said I had to come in so I said there’s no way in hell I’m going into an office full of people to risk spreading covid. I had the delta variant and it fucked me up to where I had to stay off longer from a doctors instruction. And I found out that despite me being around the whole office it was kept quiet I had covid and it happened to others. I returned and my mental health was a bad way again and was told that it’s not an illness so I will loose pay. And backed managers talking to me like shit. And it was the last straw I went fucking mental with them called out all their bullshit on the spot and walked out never intending on returning. I am praying they underpay me so I can take their ass to HMRC and I reported them to gov for breaching covid protocol. The scream probably did fuck all but my god I walked with the smile of a lifetime
Quit my last job after having my second panic attack in a week and supervisor more concerned about my work issues delaying his vacation. Seriously guy asked if I was going to get back to it because he has a flight to catch.
It all depends on which side of the spreadsheet a company sees its employees. If you're an asset they tend to promote good people to good managers if you're considered a liability they promote the person willing to do whatever they ask with no ethics or morals involved. In both cases I've seen the wrong person get promoted for what the company wanted. I had to step down from a manager position to an hourly because they wanted me to write up the more senior employees and I out right refused.
15:20 Fellow A&P here. Report that old crab to the F.A.A. unlabeled parts, unorganized workspace, unsafe practices that put people at risk. He IS going to get someone killed. And if he holds an IA, he is unworthy of it.
First job: Told my boss multiple times to stop scheduling me on Fridays due to school and personal projects. Didn’t listen and ended quitting eventually because of it. Second job: stopped coming in because one the managers kept saying I was “off task” and also kept sending me to a physically more demanding section and getting yelled at when I used the bathroom. Manager was basically Carl from Spongebob and looked like him.
I worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week as a merchandiser I got little to no sleep, driving to my first job for the day I fell asleep at the wheel got in a head on accident. I was lucky not to be injured, got a ticket for it. Instead of getting any sympathy I got written up for the ticket and a drug test then told that day as soon as I got my rental car I had to still work my regular schedule for the day which was at 7 locations. I quit shortly after that I’m a teacher now and loving life.
It doesn't cost anything to deposit a check. The stamp to mail check, or change, costs .41 cents but it doesn't matter. If they owe to you they have to send it.
This is in my recommendations the day after I quit my job! I used to work at FedEx and it was whittling the fuck out of my mental health. My last straw was not being able to contact HR for days on end after being told by managers I could try to get a leave of absence. Fuck that shit.
I used to work at Hardee's like my mother and then she went on sick leave. My mother had an infected feeding tube and our boss canned her without telling her. When I returned to work my boss said that I didn't have to clean anymore and to just prep the food. On my second day back at work I finished my prep and told the manager that was on the clock and she was a year younger than me. I got really pissed when she said to mop the back area so I went outside and called my boss and told her in tears that I am quitting and called my mother to come get me. There was no point of working there anymore after what happened to my mother. They are always short staffed and they chase employees away.
The motel room job with the naked guy... she does realise that the boss set up the whole thing? sending the rest of the staff home so they can be alone. She should press charges or sue that prick.
Yeah, I got a very r*pey feeling there. Like, he promised the guy who was probably his friend, one of the staff and she was the sacrifice. She dodged a huge bullet on that one.
Not a "quit on the spot" but more of a "in the process of quitting" moment; I currently work in a warehouse. I've been there for the last 3 years, with this being my 4th, as a bulk order filler (where you label and throw cases on the line), a backwall jammer (basically I walk throughout the entire backwall area where all the cases thrown on the line goes to before they're sent down to shipping and I make sure none of the cases get stuck anywhere as well as resetting anything that shuts down among other things), and currently a shipping jammer (where I'm on a floor above the shipping dock where the cases are sorted into different shipping lanes and I have to make sure there's no jams, mixed batches, and I have to walk through and call out lanes that are cleared for the next batch). The first two years were rather great as I had no trouble and I was rather a great motivator, as I have a tendency to dance and sing when I have my music blasting, and was considered the best and reliable for all that I've done. I impressed managers from other shifts as well as I am quick to learn and quick to adapt to wherever I'm assigned to. Then last year was when shit started going downhill. First, a couple of managers in my shift were fired and the merge operator (who handles a lot of stuff concerning the backwall and shipping) was also fired, much to my disappointment because he and I were a dynamic duo as we were both fast and accurate and managed to keep everything going even on days when we had a skeleton crew. Then near the start of summer, I was put on detailed housekeeping and one of the things I often do since I mostly just sweep up dirt and stuff from the floor is have my music going and I even dance while I sweep, which was rather more effective because I had more stuff cleared out that way. One manager caught me dancing my way to the nearest garbage can with a dustpan full of dirt and dumping it and he chewed me out for "playing around instead of working". I tried to explain that I was working but I always got interrupted (something I always hated but I usually bite my tongue). Then came the lecture of how I need to "get my priorities straight" when I came in 10 minutes late, even though I called in late due to a brief family emergency. I eventually got wrote up near the ending of last year all because I called in a few days off due to having a bad alternator and no other way of getting to work. Then finally this year, I started dealing with being screamed at by different folks, mostly maintenance, over petty shit (like having to call in maintenance for a broken conveyor belt and getting screamed at because I inadvertently called the wrong lane number and tried to correct it or getting screamed at for not hearing a call for a walkthrough due to loud mechanical noises) then it went from that to having one manager openly talk shit about me through the radio as well as an unknown employee doing the same a couple of weeks ago after having me running back and forth to the same areas over and over again, calling me incompetent and such, while I was having a flare up in my left knee due to a high school injury. I originally requested a shift change but when the shit-talking started, I pretty threatened my managers that either I change shifts or I quit because I won't tolerate it anymore. I already decided I quit a little after writing a rather lengthy note, because I had enough and there's no guarantee it won't happen again (especially since the managers are now begging me to stay) but I'm staying on long enough until I'm hired elsewhere then I'm putting in my two weeks. Word to the wise for both managers and employees: don't EVER push around and bully an associate, especially one that's your best, because you will regret it.
A perfect example of how bad the HVAC sales people are I was once on a job where we had to put in a vent for the kitchen of a business that the walk around of the work we spotted proof the sales guy never looked on that side of the building as it was covered with a fire escape and power line.
I work for a Midwestern chain of farming/hunting/general merchandise type store. Not only does it feel like the only way the managers know how to communicate is by yelling at you regardless if there is any sort of fault on your end, if you clock in any later than the five minutes early that is the earliest they allow you, you get treated as though you're late. Of course, if they actually opened the store when it was supposed to instead of five minutes early it wouldn't be as much of an issue. I just hate my going out of the way to not be late to be assumed to be the norm and feel taken advantage of.
When the lockdown started I worked at a amusement park. They needed to shut down so instead of keeping people to work they fired everyone with 0-hours contract. 100 others and me, I didn’t care because I already had a new job 200 meters away from my former work. The funny thing was that when they could open up again they didn’t had the workers for it. So they called everyone if they wanted to work there again. No one wanted that and they couldn’t open up because they were understaffed.
I drove city transit in Northern Kentucky. Went through and put in my lumps to get a pretty good piece of work. Well liked by the passengers and other drivers. Then the company just stopped hiring. We have something like 20% retention rate because of shitty schedules. I started getting long days like when I first started. I'm talking my normal shift was 3:00 P to 1:00A and I would be forced to come in at 6:00 A. Instead of hiring people they put a new schedule where almost everyone was working at least 5 hours of overtime. I called them out on it and got yelled at in front of the other drivers. I took about 2 months to get my shit in order before I put in my 2 week and posted it publicly on my social media. They called me the next day and paid me out.
My last straw is when i was told that my drawer (worked as a cashier) lost 28500 LBP (Lebanese pound, our currency) so i paid that amount from my pocket and the next day it turned out that they miscalculated (they missed a receipt that was paid online, even though i told them about it, and guess what! They miscalculated 3 times) and my drawer actually had 3000 LBP more than i should have. So i couldn't take their incompetence (and bad work conditions, like that chair that broke when i was sitting on it and i fell to the floor), and their terrible/chaotic management (and that asshole of a boss they had) anymore, so i quit after 2 weeks of working there.
Years ago, I worked a place that would write up cashiers if thay were over or under by $3. My cashier, who was good, got stung by a bee and had to go, so they sent a replacement from another store. I tok the till and counted it and it was 3.12 short. I quietly slipped a dollar into the till. Not l sing a good employee over something that was potentially not her fault.
Walked out on a place after I figured out all the people who were mutilated there had it happen at work. Missing fingers, crushed hand, cut up back, mostly severed leg, brain injury.... but it's a great place to work. Not for $12.50/hr it ain't
Just today i called my manager because she said that "I've been on my phone the whole week I've been working here" ( i used to work at a gym just sanitize the equipment and so on) which i havent since i actually needed the job so she said come on Saturday, i did, but the snow went up to my bumper which i thought was dangerous to drive on so i called in. Came to work today at 10am but the manager told me to come back next Saturday, i asked her why and she said that there is a small bit of employees so i will be moved to a different company, but when i said "What is really going on? I've been told i was fired and wanted to ask u if thats true" she said yes but the reason is because i said something inappropriate after we had a meeting (which never happened) told my friend about it and he said "Yeah she doesnt know how to do her fucking job and she was the manager for 3 months and fired half of the crew"
I quit my job because my boss decided it was okay to schedule me on one of my unavailable days. I had so many things to do that day because it was one of my days off, I got mad and told him that this text that I'm sending his should be taken as me quitting. It wasn't the first time they did this and sure wouldn't have been the last. If you truly appreciate the people who work for you, respect them as humans, ask them if what you're about to do to them is okay. I had already been working 10 days straight, with that day off being taken away from me, I would have been working 17 days straight. Now I've been enjoying 2 weeks off just relaxing not worrying about anything. It's nice.
when the time comes and i have to quit my job, im going out on 2 weeks notice and wont sever any ties. I love the people at my job and i moderately like the job itself (cart kid/bagger/matienance) and the only reason I would quit unnoticed is if a customer went off on me, and the customers are actually decent.
I agree - I gave my 2 weeks' notice at a job I had grown to hate (management was the worst, but the regular employees were nice and hardworking). VP asked me for a list of my job tasks that would need to be shifted to someone else, and I gave it to her right away. First week - no one is sent to me for any type of training, passwords, templates - nothing. On Wednesday of the second week, with Friday being my last day, "I said, "You know, nobody's had any training to do this job yet."" The VP had an "Oh s***!" moment and I spent the next two days cramming information at people so they could do the job. I could have just kept quiet and left that Friday with nobody trained, but I felt like I left with my head up. My coworkers gave me a goodbye party, we all had pizza, they got me a gift and everything. It was awesome. And management was somewhere else that day, so they couldn't ruin our party.
worked for Walgreens as a pharmacy tech, this was when covid was bout 4 months in. manager there was an ass half the time, mor specifically, i was the only guy working as a pharm tech. but anyways i have a bit of a quiter voice, yes i was the quiet kid in school and hence each time at drive thru, at the window, i had to pull down my mask bcs ppl cant hear me, got yelled at for that. then while working, i told him schedule wise i am not avail weekends and friday after 6 pm, proceeds to schedule me till close on Friday. the final straw was when he bitched about me not wearing the scrubs provided to pharm techs, thing is, he never ordered me a uniform and wrote me up TWICE for this, so it was around new years, and while he was away, i resigned after a month of working there with no 2 weeks and on new year's rush. met him at thr store later to pick up my uncle precription, here he comes saying "why didnt you give a 2 weeks" my response, "when you fire me, do you give me 2 weeks?" Gerardo if you reading this, before chewing someone out for shit at least get your side right and learn to fucking not discriminate(another pharm tech, a female, 2 of em, didnt wear unifrom, hell camed in torn jeans and leggins, here im in black dress pants and a blue jacket gettin yelled at)
The best bosses I've had over my career have been female, but so was the very worst one. We were in a staff meeting. She had met my girlfriend once, and she was aware she was younger than me. By the time of this meeting we were engaged. The boss was on my case because she thought I seemed boring and stoic (I guess), so she thought I would not represent the business well in front of the clients. So she asked, "Does your girlfriend have a father?" Me: "Uhhh, yes she does..." Boss: "I'm surprised she's with you." Me: "Why?" Boss: "Because you're like a boring old man, so why would she want you unless she needs a father figure?" I stood up, dropped my pad and pen on the table, and quietly said "You have no right to comment on my relationship with my fiancée." I turned and walked out of the building, got in my car, and left.
Worked as a driver for amazon. 6 to 6pm schedule and there was always over time. They stated trying micromanage us. Advanced ai cameras in our vans They started overloading our vans and encouraged drivers to work through my breaks and lunch to finish on time. On strict time schedule. Everything I adapted to until they changed my schedule to work 10am to 11pm. I used up my benefits from insurance, used all my sick days and cashed in my pto. I quit on the 1st day back after my vacation and ended it right after my shift. An amazon worker told me something retarded during loadout so that's when I decided I was going to quit. Had an awesome day. And even got a tip for the first time. Thank you awesome customer.
Hollister guy I relate to you my man! I quit on the same principal. Was told when I walked through the door, collect a razor (at least mine was provided lol) or get no more shifts. I put my very nice and deceptively inexpensive coat on and got my tail out of there. It might sound over the top but it's degrading, not.to mention discriminatory. What about those who have beards on religious reasons? Essentially they cannot work in either Hollister or my shitty old workplace.
15:45 this is still a serious issue. i remember a story of a leak from a plane manufacture where the staff were joking about tricking the inspectors, how they wouldnt dare let their families use them, and their planes were falling out of the sky. i dont know how it went but i dont hold high expectations on people who actually deserve it getting punished when large money is involved.
To the one with the till. I would have either: a) spilled the till onto the floor on my way out and yelled “free money” or b) emptied the till into my pockets on my way out. But tills at the open usually only have like $50-$75.
In high school I worked at a nation Mexican restaurant chain. When I first started I was getting 15 hours a week since it was my senior year. After graduation I assumed they would give me more hours. About 6 months into working there, they only scheduled me one day a week, Taco Tuesdays. Some Tuesday’s I would work the full shift of 5 hours, but others I was told to just go home because they didn’t need me due to it being slow. The worst part about that was my grandmother gave me rides to work since I didn’t have a car yet. So I would have to turn right around and call her to come get me. My paychecks were shit due to working on two days a pay period. So I would bring home about $100 a month. On top of that they took out a thing called “uniform payments”. It was only a few bucks here and there, but it was still obnoxious because I had it paid off after only a few months, but they still took money out anyway. I also was pissed because they had a Christmas party and didn’t include me, nor did I get a Christmas bonus since I didn’t work enough hours. So after working there for a year and a half, I was informed by the manager that they were going to let me go because I didn’t work enough hours. I told them that they make my schedule and since it was the summer I could work more that one Damn day a week. They told me they would think about it and told me to go back to work. A few days later I applied for another job, interviewed and was hired on the spot. I walked in tall and proud that fateful Taco Tuesday as I walked up to my manger halfway through my shift and told them this was going to be my last day, and I was leaving due to crappy hours. They just looked at me and said, “Okay…”
My friend worked for an insurance adjuster (small office). It was great for a while. Then the owner sold the business to retire. The new owner was not in the field so they hired a manager. This manager was a guy who HATED women. He looked for any excuse to berate them. He didn’t fire them, it’s like he wanted to have them there to make them suffer. He started yelling at the women (and NOT the guys) if they were not early, if they left on time, it got ridiculous. Now he particularly seemed to hate menstruation. He started tracking how many times per day the women went to the bathroom. He lost five people in one week for sh*t like this. One day my friend came in and all the women were pulled into a meeting. He started screaming at them, saying that someone flushed a “nasty woman thing” down the toilet and it got clogged. He said if someone didn’t own up right now he would take the cost of the repair out of each of their paychecks. My friend (who had had a hysterectomy four years before) got up, said “I don’t menstruate” and walked out to call a client. The manager started screaming at her saying he would dock her pay anyway. Here’s the good part. Said client actually misunderstood that the meeting was supposed to be a phone call and had shown up. Guess where he worked? The EEOC. The manager was was fired the next day.
I love these stories. Dont take shit from anyone. You can’t ever pay me enough to treat me like trash. Then again, we’re all different.
You can get a new job, you can NOT get new morals or self respect. I've left jobs or changed jobs because the mgmt or post was so bad. Private Security has high turn over due to the low wages, lack of proper management. 90% of security firms are poorly run, not well organized.
Very true
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Salvador Alessandro instablaster ;)
@Kohen Trevor i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Not exactly a "quit on the spot", but back at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was shutting down. My company sent out an email saying we were "essential workers" and would keep up at least 40 hours a week through the shutdown. Right after, they send out an email cutting our pay by 15%. I had been looking for a new job since. I start my new job next week.
How is the new job?
"you're essential but not essential enough to be paid."
How goes your job?
Wow. Some places suck. We shutdown for about 2 or 3 months. As a supervisor I had to come in the weekend before we opened to help get the store ready. Typically they give us a small percentage raise every year. In 2021 to show they value their employees, the company increased everybody's pay by $1.00. it's a lot better than what they did to the staff where I had worked before; Golden Corral. I quit that years ago but kept in touch with some past co-workers. I guess they were understaffed and were having people from some positions work 2 and 3 positions but weren't giving them a pay increase or any benefit. The lady I worked with who had been a dishwasher for years quit after they screwed her over.
I'd have worked 34 hours then gone home.
15% less pay = 15% less work.
I quit last month from a job I really liked but manager could never show up on time, had a bad anger problem, and thought they could just keep having me climb towers without being certified. His truck was an absolute pig pen and he had BO. I started my own company again as it's 10x better than working for losers.
People quit bosses, not jobs
Good job. I hope you succeed and exceed in your field.
A) people dont quit jobs, they quit managers
B) you'll never get rich working for someone else.
Congrats!
@@Ahmed-gu1vx mostly. Sometimes customers or other employees make you quit too.
My sister got her first job at McDonalds when she was 16. The manager was very rude to her and berated her for not knowing how to use the cash register.
Then about a week later, she got the stomach flu. She had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, you name it. So she called and said she would not be able to come in. The manager hung up on her without saying anything. Then a few hours later, the idiot manager calls back demanding to know where my sister is as "she was supposed to be there by now." She explained that she already called hours earlier saying she had the stomach flu. The manager said that was no excuse and said that she needs her in there now. My sister told her to frick off, quit on the spot, and hung up the phone.
And that's how you deal with trash. :)
Your sister deserves bettee
Good. I hope she told the district manager that her manager was trying to cause a biohazard situation.
Years ago I went for a job at McDonalds. I was hired the same time as a guy. I did not want to work the register and he said he did. The manager said he would be a cook and I would be register ( despite me having actual experience on a grill and fryers ). She didnt say, but I think it was policy at the time. I didnt last two months.
Sounds par for the course for McDonald's
First job was McDonald's. Worked there for 7 years. Made it all the way up to salary, though I was still training. Moved about 2 hours away and managed to stay salary. Store manager didn't want to finish training me and gave me three options.
1. Transfer to a different store.
2. Switch to overnights only.
3. Drop back down to shift manager with a pay cut.
I took option 4 and quit.
Year 4 at McDonalds and have never been offered a raise or promotion because my managers are fucking petty goblins
"He should be dead by saturday so it's ok."
I never understood why jobs place heavy restrictions on who can work at them but still allow people like that to get the job.
from what i understand, the corporate modal mimics the feudal model. so you need whippers who whip your sla.. employee's. not having a conscience isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Texas roadhouse! Was supposed to be out at 4. Had a Dr. Appointment i couldn't miss at 5 and a date at 7. Guy who was supposed to relieve me didnt show up. Was kept till 11 missing both. Finally the guy who was supposed to take over shows up. And they wanted me to stay and help him. They didn't even reprimand him. But they threatened me when i said i had to go. Left and never went back. Tried to screw me on my last check too
If a doctors appointment is really important and can’t be missed like you said, next time just walk out, your health is way more important then any job!
@@TheRealCake i know that now but i was 16 (yes 16) living on my own this was my only job and i hadn't paid rent yet and couldn't afford to lose it.
Kayla Hughes ahh I see, had no choice then, unfortunate situations like that arise, hopefully your current situation is much better!
@Me We we rescheduled it but it didn't work out in the end.
@Collie Flower no but in Texas they can fire you for no reason legally so instead of fireing you for leaving early cuz your sick or have a doctors appointment they fire you without stating a reason and you cant do anything about it. Its a crappy but technically legal buissness practice. And its not like a cook making min wage can afford a lawyer over it if it wasn't
The lady that told the person that had a mom dying of cancer “it won’t matter whether or not they’re there” clearly doesn’t know about emotional support, or “The Power of Positive Thinking”.
If anyone said that to me I would have not even started working and would have left right then and there. Restaurant and food service sucks.
More like the Power of Positive Drinking, Amiright?
After I got back from medic training in the army (I'm reserve) I struggled to find work in my field (rural area) and took the first job I could at a Lowe's working as a forklift operator. About 4 months later I finally get a job in healthcare working as a hospital med tech. My boss at lowes refuses to give me days off to go to orientation on the grounds of "youve been here for a while and need to show some loyalty if you want to stay here part time" (my initial plan) to which I reply "get fucked" and walked out. Two years later I left the hospital to become a first responder and had an almost identical exchange with my supervisor. Took off my badge and walked out in my scrubs. A uear and some change later and ive never been happier
Good job. Lead the way.
When I was in the Netherlands, an IT guy got a job at another company. The company threw him a party, with alcohol. Everyone made speeches, including the manager, wishing him well. They were really happy for him. Opened my eyes to how it should be done.
I worked for the most uptight manager that got me in trouble because I accidentally said 'dude' during a convo. He accused me of being disrespectful, and I said I was done working there. He asked if it was a two weeks notice, and I said 'no, this is my 2 second notice, I'll be back at noon for my check' and walked out. I'm not badass, it was payday... Lol
I had an a-hole manager. He abused me of stealing when the register was short and threatened to call the police. Now, I know typically a cashier alone and management have access to the drawers but.. the company made everybody leave their time cards by the computer so anybody could've taken them. It turns out that when drawers were off it was actually somebody who worked on the kitchen using those cards. But that particular day the drawer was so short because the opening manager didn't do the change over correctly. And when the a-hole informed me the next day, he didn't even apologize.
This was when I was in my early twenties but I got a job at RadioShack and I was so poor, I couldn’t afford much clothes. Pretty much the one shirt and one pair of pants were what I wore everyday. Well I mustered enough money to buy one more shirt and I asked my manager what color shirts I can buy. He said white, black, and red. I wanted to buy red because it i didn’t care for the other colors. So I went and bought the shirt. Well, the next day I wore my red shirt and I was on the sales floor. Next thing I know, the same manager is literally screaming at me in front of customers that I shouldn’t wear red because ONLY managers wear red. I literally took off to the break room fuming. It was starting to get busy and I literally just walked out and never turned back.
I worked at a restaurant. There were loads of issues leading up to this point but this is the story of when I just left them hanging. I had a second job as a lyft driver and a very large music festival was coming up. I really needed the money from lyft because my husband was out of a job. I also new I would not be able to get that weekend off because it was already made clear that no one could. So I told my boss that I will work my shift, but I have to leave immediately after to Lyft I would not be able to cover or stay late. He agreed. One week before the festival he comes to me and says that he made a mistake and gave 2 of my coworkers the weekend off so they could go to the festival. And instead of going back on his word he was hoping I could work a 17 hour shift both Friday and Saterday. I was disappointed but I agreed because hey at least it would be overtime. I would make a loss but with the overtime it would not be that bad. He then said that I would not receive overtime and instead he would switch my schedule to where I had 4 days off instead of 2. So not only would i miss the music festival and not be able to drive, but at the end of the week I would loose 2 hours of pay for this favor. Told him I would not be returning for my next shift.
My whole life was turned upside down. Took a summer job at a hotel before finishing up college. The manager liked me & said 'you've job here in hotel management after graduation if you want it.' I was already a manager there, knew the business, so came back & said 'OK, I'm here for the job.' "Oh, didn't I tell you? We canceled our training program." Been working hourly jobs ever since. :(
How the heck do manage to deny familial med leave especially given that the fmla(family medical leave act US law) exists requiring companies grant paid/unpaid leave
Because if employees don't know the laws they can't report it to the police when employers break them
@@BankruptMonkey that's an unfortunate Truth
Or some companies don't give many shits and break laws knowing they will not get punished.
The company has to have a minimum of fifty workers for FMLA to apply. I think it's fifty, might be one hundred.

I used to work the night shift for a shipping company at an airport. I worked outside with the airplanes, and I had been trained on every piece of equipment we had outside, as well as almost every airplane. I was even captain qualified, which meant that I was trained to organize which containers went in/out of the aircraft if they needed me to do so. But despite all of those things, I was still getting the same pay as the guy who had just started working outside. The straw that broke the camel's back? The fact that I hadn't been getting a break during my shift. For an entire week. I talked to the person in charge of scheduling and told her: "hey, I haven't been getting a break because I don't have the time to stop. Can you change the schedule a bit so I get a chance to at least eat?" And she basically told me to suck it up and deal with it. I asked multiple people to talk to her about it but nothing changed. It got to the point where I would break down crying after work because I was so exhausted. I quit soon after she told me to deal with it for the 3rd time and I haven't looked back since.
I got a job out of high school doing landscaping for a guy my dad and I both knew. I knew he was a cheap pos before I worked for him but i needed money. First day he asks me to come by his place to help him put in fence posts on his property. I did the job no problem. After 10 hours of being ridiculed for not knowing how to perfectly align fence posts, I asked him if I would get paid for that day, he asked why he should pay for half a$$ed work. I proceeded to fill the cab of his skidsteer with dirt.
Remember kids:
Good labour ain't cheap, cheap labour ain't good.
My favorite conversation in college: "Oh, I don't think I can give you that week off." Me: "No, I don't think you understood me, I WON'T BE HERE"
I was an overnight maintenance/janitor for the King of fast food. I showed up at 10pm for my shift and they told me i had to get my 8 hour shift done in 3 hours to leave with the crew instead of staying alone in the store to save labor. Also the kitchen closer and front closer walked out so do their closing tasks as well. If you can't do it all or go into overtime, you get written up for wasting labor. I secured my equipment and walked out.
When I worked at a KFC as a teenager I was always told off because I wasn't 15mins early (no reason, just because) I was always five minutes before never late. In the end I left and never came back because the manager was being a bitch and refused to let me take a taxi home. I was on late shift finishing at midnight, they paid for taxis home but no one was going in my direction and she wouldn't pay for me alone.
I was a poor teenager with literally no money. I was forced to walk through the bad area in the dead of night.
Thankfully a coworker was getting a lift from her mum and she stopped me 5 minutes later and drove me home (45 minutes if speed walk)
I only went back for my pay packet
Got told i can either Quit or be fired because I had too much time off. now the back story: I worked 2 jobs in the same building, I'd start at 6AM with the cleaning crew till 10am, 9/10AM I'd start with the cinema crew doing about everything in the building - finish anywhere from 6pm to midnight mostly, but typically every other day 4pm till 3am, so I'd stay over then grind through the next day. I did this for 2 years and completely ignored the health issues this caused.
What was the last straw was one of the few times I actually got to go home, we had a massive snowstorm - almost a foot of snow. When i let my various managers know i'm snowed in - can't get a bus across the city, can't get a taxi - couldn't even get a takeaway! when it all clears up (a few days later) get told I have a meeting with cleaning job area manager (cinema was super understanding, paid time off cause they know if i can make it, damn sure i'll be there). Got told others could make it in, pointed out they all live literally 5 mins walk away only boss & myself had to drive to work, other supervisor lived a few doors down, i live a 3 hour walk to work, then a 3 hour walk back & all other travel options was off the table, absolutely not advisable even if my knee wasn't wrecked from an accident they was fully aware of. Yeah, No.
I was not opening manager anytime that week, I had turned around our failing weekly inspections, well liked amongst the crew and absolutely pulled my weight in both jobs (employee of the year, let alone month for about 6 months straight), could even smooth things over with the higher ups in the cinema over how poor the cleaning had gotten. Even gave up holidays & stuff to supervise another team at a different location on the few days i had free from cinema & their site.
It was my first job out of college and it was terrible. One day I booked a week off to take my toddler for a followup appointment after his surgery. I had had the surgery done when I was on holidays but the checkup was 6 weeks later and a 7 hour drive one way and I still had a week of holiday owed to me so I had booked the appointment and my boss told me I couldn't go because it wasn't his problem that I had a sick kid, he said he had never taken time off for a sick kid yada yada yada. I pointed out that he had a wife to take care of his kids and he said it wasn't his fault I didn't have a wife. I walked to my desk, typed out a resignation letter and handed it to him. He was totally shocked. I also told him I now knew why no one but me had lasted in the job more than a month, I lasted just short of a year, and between him and the office manager, a major bitch, he would never have any long term employees. The office manager was not my manager but was determined to lord it over me and I had actually been asked during my initial interview if I could work with a bitch, I naively said Sure.
Came back from covid furlough, I told them I wasn't going to work the same hours (because I was out of shape, drinking beers in the garage watching people do their covid walks with their families.) I worked there long enough that I would still be making decent money. They took $4 per hour off for working less time. I quit and turned around and started my own business. This week I made more than two weeks there.
I quit my grocery job because the head of my dep gave my hours away to someone who was barely there. Long story short I quit and have since gotta better job that allows me to travel for free.
ETA 14:37 if you work for an airline or independent contractor with outdated equipment better hope no one calls OSHA because they can shut anybody down with outdated equipment and manuals.
Worked at a kfc/tacobell split. Went through 3 managers. Was there for over 2 years. 2nd manager was training me for asm/management spot, 3rd temp manager cut me from it entirely. Called a coworker to go in for me I quit that morning a month after the new manager took over. Place went to shit apparently 🤣
I was a cashier when the pandemic really hit the US and the lockdowns started. I was having symptoms that matched up and told my manager as much.
My manager made me work another two and a half hours after I told her "I am having telltale symptoms of this deadly virulent disease and I could be passing it on to the customers." I never went back after someone finally relieved me
I have worked the whole pandemic as a cashier and my job is such a small job with 5 employees and it's open seven days a week but basically we were told if anyone gets it they're fired because they're not going to pay us to be off for two weeks and if we have to be off for two weeks they couldn't wait on us to get back and it's a crap job anyway and I am looking for a new one which shouldn't be hard because there's a ton open
Worked at a rinky-dink little fish & chip shop somewhere in Texas. Not only did the owner also was an owner/landlord of what were essentially slums (He got the rent checks brought in through the restaurant) but I was told to keep an eye on the manager they hired even though I stepped down as a manager; they essentially wanted me to be a babysitter to two grown-ass adults, one of which was a manager they hired...
What i learned from this video.
Never work a minute for free, ever.
Know your priorities, don't sacrifice your health (both physical and metal) for money.
Also, don't put a POS job above your loved ones.
Axioms of a Job:
ABL: Always be looking for a new job/opportunity. You cannot depend on them or their promises. Depend on you.
ABS: Always be saving so fear is not your motivation for staying.
MYI: Make yourself indispensable. Make it hard to fire you, and cause automatic retribution if they do.
NGT: Never give two-weeks. They don't have to, so neither do you.
Bottomline: Stay self focused while appearing to be them focused.

Hi grandma hey do you know where my weed is-
After being accused of lying by one of my managers, and after being treated like a criminal because I was a bit sick lately, the last straw for me was when my other manager hissed at me
"If you don't take your apprenticeship seriously, please, go ahead and tell me."
That was the last straw. I've powered through two days the week before with tonsillitis and on 2 hours of sleep before I couldn't do it anymore and went sick again the other three, and on this day I came in with an allergic reaction to being stung by a wasp INTO MY DOMINANT HAND because I still could make myself useful SOMEHOW.
And then I get to hear this. I'm slaving away for this hotel, this COMPANY, and this is the thanks I get for this? Nah fam. I haven't done anything different since I started my apprenticeship February 2020 than cleaning rooms. Learned nothing but housekeeping. Slaved away because I hoped for better times.
Nah fam. That was too much. I immediately marched towards the staff secretary and told her I want to be released from this hotel so I can continue my apprenticeship somewhre else.
I was working at a bar attached to a high end restaurant(cheapest steak was $40) as a bar back. There were 3 bartenders and 4 cocktail waitresses. There were over 100 people in the bar. I was the only bar back. It was my job to bring out food, clear empty glasses and bottles, get the bar the liquors and spirits they need, and reset tables. The manager chewed me out for not moving fast enough, so I move faster. The manager chewed me out for not keeping the bar stocked, so I stocked the bar. The manager chewed me out for not getting the cocktail waitresses food to the tables on time and screamed at me in the bar that he could do a better job. I took my apron off and told him to do it then. He followed me out of the building yelling the entire time about how I would never work there again. “Good, you’ve got one person on shift to cover 4 peoples worth of work. Have fun doing it better.” When he looked back at the bar, omg the look of pure terror in his eyes when he realized the amount of people in the bar. Came back to pick up my check and tips the next week and the general manager told me he fired that manager for drinking a full bottle of makers mark every day he worked and continuously yelling at employees both in front of customers and in the back. 4.15 an hour was definitely not worth it.
I am currently looking for work and this video scares me. I am so done with being treated poorly. Employers acting like you are somehow being disloyal if you take your time off ( pittifally small ) , if you only work the hours you are paid for, etc.
I was working as a biller for a cardiologist and after his two MAs quit, he started slowly pushing their responsibilities onto me on top of my billing stuff (which were submitting claims, preauths and AR/collection follow ups), soon I had to do reception crap, call patients for upcoming appointments and check-in/out. Then my dad got COVID and when he tested positive, I was ready to pull my son from school so we could quarantine and he basically begged me to still work despite us being in close contact and living with a COVID-positive person. I knew there and then it was time to find another job. I found another job a month later as part of a hospital’s AR/denial team that paid more and now I work from home and pretty soon I’ll be on the coding team when a spot opens up.
I used to work at a shitty electronics store with one of the most power hungry managers ever. We were constantly working overtime, she would always play favorites and talk shit about all of her employees (there was like 6 of us) behind our backs. She got one guy fired and the place fucked me up so bad I was literally contemplating suicide. I finally walked in on my day off and said I quit with no notice. Best decision I ever made
Never quit on the spot but when my manager came in on a day he was supposed to be on holiday after I'd had to give that day up (the first four days I was helping run a scout camp). It left me really spiteful. When he returned from his holiday he was immediately faced with my 1 month notice.
I was moving a company with 3 plants onto new hardware and software. We did the rollout over labor day, giving us 3 days. For a week, I would come in at 8 am, leave at 3pm, come back at 11pm and babysit the nightly routines for 2 -3 hours. I was the lead programmer, not the manager. He put in normal hours. So did the head of the department. requested a Friday off, and it was granted but reluctantly. I came back Monday to find the IT manager and the department head had both taken a week off.
Was a overnight restocker at a grocery store. Myself and one other person were looking into a manager position that had recently opened up. I suddenly started being treated like shit by everyone. Constant leaving majority of work for me, comments, etc. Went to the store manager multiple times and nothing happened. Walked into work one night and am told my shift had been covered and if I didn't leave they'd call the police. That was the end of it. Quit right then and there. Been at my new/current job for 3 months now making more hours and money than I would have being a manager at the store. The person who got manager position over me has since stepped down because it was "too much" for him to deal with.
Good for you!
I was working in produce at a Canadian grocery store. I got a long with everyone except my assistant manager. My store manager and department manager love me. Anyways assistant manager starts ripping me apart, infront of customers, for not doing something right, even though I didn't do it. I stop him, walk and go hand in my 2 week notice. My last shift my store manager sees me and im punching out, he asks when my next shift is, I said I quit because of verbal abuse from my assistant manager. So he decided to rip apart that assistant manager in the back room.
I thought this would be Organic Garage, but the owner is trash
My great aunt Shelley Hallock used to work for a newspaper company. One day the boss showed her two pictures and asked her which one was better quality. After choosing the picture, the boss said “WRONG! YOU’RE FIRED!” and the other employees, one of which was my grandma Ruth and auntie Shelley’s mom, all walked out and quit their jobs at the same time because of the jerk boss and the company went out of business as a result
I didn't rage quit but gave my notice as I had 300 hours of unused annual leave that I wanted have paid out. The final straw was that the hotel I was Working at were deliberately overselling more expensive room types and then downgraded the guests to a similar but cheaper room. The higher powers did not change the room rates. The receptionists and reservationists were not allowed to advise guests they were allocated a lower room type as the hotel was struggling financially. This was why the guests were being overcharged in a way to get more money.
My work ethic and honest values were compromised due to this illegal practice.....and I'm a terrible liar so it killed me each time everytime I handed over room keys to a Room they were not paying for.
BTW this was not a small roadside motel.... It was a 5 star inner city hotel part of a global hotel company.
I once worked at a hotel where the manager wanted us to answer the phone: "It's a beautiful day in Thousand Oaks, how may I help you?" I did it once & the guy laughed so hard. Never again. Then the boss said, "Just answer the phone however you want."
@@phlushphish793 I worked in another hotel where there was a strong French influence (this alone will give the hotel chain name away) and we had to say all greetings in French irrespective of our own background.
Im in Australia so the bogan Aussie guests are like "why do you say *BON-JOO-A* like you're in France? This is a-STRAY-ya. Speak a-STRAY-an".
We couldn't say 'they make us say it'
Worked as a trainee in a small bakery shop many years ago. Both the owner and his son (daily manager) would often talk down to me and make small mistakes into huge things. What made me quit was when I was asked to go get some custard powder. I saw to sacks wityh yellow powder in them, with nothing written on the sacks. Turned out that wasn't custard powder, but a corn flour mixture. After the daily manager berated me for taking the wrong stuff, I pointed at my thick glasses and asked him "can you tell the difference, because I can't". He then went into the bakery and yelled to everyone "yes! I'm a genius, I can see what the difference is!" Then the owner came over and told me "it's really rude and disrespectful of you to talk back to my son like that!"
Yes, I asked what the difference was - and that was CLEARLY my fault! Shame on me for not having perfect vision, right? I never showed up for work again.
My last job was a TINY restaurant job, I told them I needed to work in the back, doing dishes and whatever work in the back because I cant work in crowded spaces and with people, after 2 days they expected me to adapt right away and the boss kept telling me "youre just not getting it, you dont understand, you're a child and I'm an adult" (I was 18, not like 14)
So after the third day he approached me, he told me I'd no longer be working in the back and made me work in the front, I had an anxiety attack so bad that I had a manic episode in the bathroom, so much tears, when I went home I fell into an immediate depression that made me quit immediately. They didn't treat me right.
I had just moved to CO in the early 90s. No money, no place to live. Moved into the homeless shelter.
Found out a fast-food chain was hiring, so I went and applied and for the job.
I had worked for the company back home in Vegas so I wouldn't need much training.
My first day on the job a little stressful getting back up to speed on system and the back.
The 3rd day. These 2 girls thought they were cats meow. Latest of everything. They were in the back doing prep. I was in kitchen handling orders so I could hear what they were saying very clearly. Insult after insult after insult after insult about the new girl. Assistant Manager was on duty and just let it happen. So I finished the order I was making, took off my apron, waited for the cashier to complete his order up front and clocked out.
All in the middle of a rush. And anyone who's worked fast food knows it's all hands on deck during a rush
A family member of mine rage retired. He worked for a company that training and other things for the country and he had a good chunk of the country to train. He had to travel nearly between 4 to 10 hours a day (mostly a round trip). Mostly from his house to the place he has to go and back again. A good chunk of the time he had to stay in a hotel. During the tail end of the first lockdown last year, his job told/asked him to go to a place to train people in a windowless room that had barely enough room to let a few people sit. They said it was going to be around 4 people, but added about 4 or 5 more people a few days later. My relative went f this I'm not risking my health, I'm retiring. The company was shocked and didn't expect that was going to happen. Let's just say that the company took a long time to fill his old placement.
I was managing all the requests coming into the IT department, using a system that was one step up from an Excel spreadsheet and wasnt designed to track new requests through a multi-step process. My director and I figured out how to "make it work".
They tortured the director into leaving, and promoted a useless employee to a manager position... who had no idea what I did or how, despite multiple attempts to teach her. She kept changing the status on the requests and I kept asking her to please stop as she was screwing up getting it through all the steps.
She threatened me with my job because I kept explaining what the impacts where to her "help". I almost just quit... instead I quit fixing things she changed, and found a new job. Turned on my notice a few days later...
Since I was the only one doing it, it was amusing to watch the panic. I've never been happier.
That's some real, _"How do ya like me, now!"_ kind of stuff.
I wasn't given sufficient training. Then 2 months into working there (only part-time while I was at University), I was asked to train a new employee and then I got into trouble when they made a mistake. Handed in my notice the next day.
I didn't really rage quit, but they hired a server who was violent and emotionally unstable, and twice my size. Im a cook, and I was working in the cafe section. Cafe section gets one cook and one server, and they're alone together the whole day. They kept leaving me alone with him despite me telling them repeatedly that I did not feel safe in his presence.
He was fired from his last job because they were afraid he would kill a coworker. He told us back in the kitchen one day that he would have, and was going too before they had let him go.
I found a new job 2 days later and turned in my 2 weeks.
I was brought into Human Resources for using "LOL" in an email to a client I was very close to. The Client had no issues. I was called into HR on a Friday. I had an interview with another company on the following Monday and was made an offer on Wednesday morning. Sucks to have a stick up your ARSE. Bye bye Felicia!
When I was in high school I applied at Vector Marketing. I was in highschool and didn't have any money neither did my family. I was basically hired on the spot which was weird I thought. I was told to come back in a week for orientation. I found out at orientation we were a glorified door to door knife sellers. Like one of those infomercial knife sets that "never go dull". The catch after we were given a sales demo was that we would have to purchase our own demo knife sets which was like 200$. I noped the fuck out. We didn't even get paid for orientation. What kind of business makes you invest in the company at retail value to work for them? They called me for a couple weeks which was even weirder. I wonder how many people from that orientation actually bought a knife set.
An MLM does that.
Oh no not them! They scammed me too. Straight out of high school.
Worked at hooters for 8years. On my into management 50k a year then covid hits. They bring me back asca part time new hire for 12$ an hr with 20hrs a week and erased my previous 8 year profile. Told me they needed me to make it work out. I said if i gotta start over after 8 years i might as start a new job so i left. They got the nerve to ask me if im gonna put my 2 weeks in so they can find replacement(s) for me. I just laughed and walked out.
Paycheck bounced. Got paid and quit
I already had my two weeks notice in as I was moving 3 hours away to take care of family and got a work from home job. It was a busy Sunday after a stressfull week and the fifth weekend in a row I had to work. It was me another co-worker and a manager I had a bad relationship with. It got to the point where I was talking back to him at least twice a day bc he wouldn’t get off my case and tried to make me look stupid in front of our customers. He would openly contradict me even if I said the sky was blue. Guy was riding my ass all day. I was exhausted from having to scramble to pack my things and deal with family issues on top of getting inventory up to snuff. It had been a very rough Sunday and I told my co-worker I was leaving after lunch as I couldn’t stand him anymore. I apologized for leaving them in a bind but if I didn’t leave I’d knock his teeth down his throat.
Nice week long to pack and clean before the move.
I was offered the job of part-time receptionist at a local newspaper. They tell me I have to come in for two night shifts, three hours at most, just to observe and become familiarized with the newspaper business. I show up at eleven PM and they instantly put me at a stand with stacks and stacks of coupon inserts. For six hours solid another woman and I were forced to shove inserts into newspapers. No break, no food, only a couple of moments when the machines stopped and we got to lean on the coupon inserts. Showed up the next night thinking, “Well, at least this is the only night I’ve got left on night shift.” Same exact thing. Four hours in, during one of the machine breaks, the lady and I talked. We were BOTH offered the job of part-time receptionists. Smelling something fishy, we hunted down a supervisor. Turns out they pulled that stunt every month or so with women; tell them they’re getting receptionist jobs, then put them on ad inserts. We were just two of many they scammed; the rest quit after a week or so. We beat that record; we walked out that very minute. Never did get my paycheck for the ten hours I worked though. But considering they were only paying me three bucks an hour (the pay for “insert jockeys” and it was 1993), it wasn’t worth the gas to try to fight for it.
Did that job. Thankfully they were upfront about it. Same pay though. Ten of us would come in to do the Sunday run.
I work for a local grocery store and we cant have tips if we are caught taking a tip then it is immediately termination
Who would you tip at a grocery store? I hardly ever see an employee where I shop. I push my cart and pick out food, then pay at the self check-out.
@The aqua mage TY. It makes sense if you carry their stuff to the car.
I quit my first job cause my supervisor kept talking down to me a 16/17 year old high school student about the quality of my work in the hallway in front of everyone from residents to the nurses (I was a housekeeper at a nursing home) worst part is she nit picked about stuff that was found in a residents room after they had returned and had been in there for like 20+ minutes this supervisor was like 40 -50 something years old telling off a teenager who never had a job before that one
Yup, I threw the last straw at them and walked out...
Then I woke up and realized, I don't have a job.
My coworker would talk about her period. Often. In detail. Almost as soon as I walked in one day, she told me it had been 3 months since she had a period and she started that day and it was "100 times worse". I tried to stay, but I was stewing. I walked out an hour into my shift. She asked "How's it going?" I replied "I don't know, but I am." She said "What?" I said "I'm going." Clocked out and walked out. In front of customers. She tried to ask why, but I wasn't gonna scream at her about her period in front of innocent customers. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. They also refused to use my name, instead using my dead name. My name was on my name tag, but they all said "In the system, it's (dead name)" 🙄😡
I have four sisters who used to do that to me a lot, especially to force me out of a room. As for what you said, I had a thought. Yeah, it's in the system that way for tax reasons since your name hadn't legally been changed yet. It wasn't that hard to change what they called you. My honest opinion though? It sounded less like malice and more like they were in a situation they didn't know how to handle. Did your coworker at least get it right?
Edit: To clarify on what I said, I meant that they didn't know how to act/behave/whatever around a trans person and it unfortunately lead to a poor decision on their part and rather than apologize, make excuses.
Story of my own which has happened 2 weeks ago.
So I worked in a call centre and the amount of abuse I got from both management and customers put my mental health on such a low I am now on antidepressants. And 2 weeks before I quit I had covid symptoms I called and told them and they said I had to come in so I said there’s no way in hell I’m going into an office full of people to risk spreading covid. I had the delta variant and it fucked me up to where I had to stay off longer from a doctors instruction. And I found out that despite me being around the whole office it was kept quiet I had covid and it happened to others. I returned and my mental health was a bad way again and was told that it’s not an illness so I will loose pay. And backed managers talking to me like shit. And it was the last straw I went fucking mental with them called out all their bullshit on the spot and walked out never intending on returning. I am praying they underpay me so I can take their ass to HMRC and I reported them to gov for breaching covid protocol. The scream probably did fuck all but my god I walked with the smile of a lifetime
Quit my last job after having my second panic attack in a week and supervisor more concerned about my work issues delaying his vacation. Seriously guy asked if I was going to get back to it because he has a flight to catch.
Not gonna lie I'm going through some rough times now , good to see people have more backbone it fills me with determination 😊
You must understand
Most managers are not promoted for how good they are but for how BAD they're willing to be.
It all depends on which side of the spreadsheet a company sees its employees. If you're an asset they tend to promote good people to good managers if you're considered a liability they promote the person willing to do whatever they ask with no ethics or morals involved. In both cases I've seen the wrong person get promoted for what the company wanted. I had to step down from a manager position to an hourly because they wanted me to write up the more senior employees and I out right refused.
For me I almost rage quit a few times from my McD's job because of 1 f**king manager
Oof McDonald’s is a tough job with little pay. I suggest you quit you’ll be so much happier.
@@angelgjr1999 I quit on the 16th. Now working with Amazon as a delivery driver starting with $4 more per paycheck than what I was earning at McD's

Report that old crab to the F.A.A. unlabeled parts, unorganized workspace, unsafe practices that put people at risk.
He IS going to get someone killed.
And if he holds an IA, he is unworthy of it.
I just love the happy ragtime piano at the end of these episodes. Thanks for the cheerful music.
"No you can't have the day of your grandpas funeral off because your boss is in the hospital agian and you need to do her shift"
That person with the dying dad. WTAF is that manager on?
First job: Told my boss multiple times to stop scheduling me on Fridays due to school and personal projects. Didn’t listen and ended quitting eventually because of it.
Second job: stopped coming in because one the managers kept saying I was “off task” and also kept sending me to a physically more demanding section and getting yelled at when I used the bathroom. Manager was basically Carl from Spongebob and looked like him.
They fired my favorite manager on the spot for putting in his 2 weeks.
Now he can collect unemployment they helped him out in a way because if u quit you can't collect
Seriously, everytime there's a manager that doesn't allow you to attend to a dying loved one, it's always a fmale.
I worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week as a merchandiser I got little to no sleep, driving to my first job for the day I fell asleep at the wheel got in a head on accident. I was lucky not to be injured, got a ticket for it. Instead of getting any sympathy I got written up for the ticket and a drug test then told that day as soon as I got my rental car I had to still work my regular schedule for the day which was at 7 locations. I quit shortly after that I’m a teacher now and loving life.
If you are going to send someone a check for 8 cents just send the change. Costs more to deposit the check last I saw.
They have to track it, though.
you don't have a bank account? It's free
It doesn't cost anything to deposit a check. The stamp to mail check, or change, costs .41 cents but it doesn't matter. If they owe to you they have to send it.
7:34 working fast was your biggest mistake.
This is in my recommendations the day after I quit my job! I used to work at FedEx and it was whittling the fuck out of my mental health. My last straw was not being able to contact HR for days on end after being told by managers I could try to get a leave of absence. Fuck that shit.
I used to work at Hardee's like my mother and then she went on sick leave. My mother had an infected feeding tube and our boss canned her without telling her. When I returned to work my boss said that I didn't have to clean anymore and to just prep the food. On my second day back at work I finished my prep and told the manager that was on the clock and she was a year younger than me. I got really pissed when she said to mop the back area so I went outside and called my boss and told her in tears that I am quitting and called my mother to come get me. There was no point of working there anymore after what happened to my mother. They are always short staffed and they chase employees away.
The motel room job with the naked guy... she does realise that the boss set up the whole thing? sending the rest of the staff home so they can be alone. She should press charges or sue that prick.
Yeah, I got a very r*pey feeling there. Like, he promised the guy who was probably his friend, one of the staff and she was the sacrifice. She dodged a huge bullet on that one.
7:10 I am shocked the person stayed that fucking long. AND YOU WONDER why people go back to former employment and shoot places up?
Not a "quit on the spot" but more of a "in the process of quitting" moment;
I currently work in a warehouse. I've been there for the last 3 years, with this being my 4th, as a bulk order filler (where you label and throw cases on the line), a backwall jammer (basically I walk throughout the entire backwall area where all the cases thrown on the line goes to before they're sent down to shipping and I make sure none of the cases get stuck anywhere as well as resetting anything that shuts down among other things), and currently a shipping jammer (where I'm on a floor above the shipping dock where the cases are sorted into different shipping lanes and I have to make sure there's no jams, mixed batches, and I have to walk through and call out lanes that are cleared for the next batch). The first two years were rather great as I had no trouble and I was rather a great motivator, as I have a tendency to dance and sing when I have my music blasting, and was considered the best and reliable for all that I've done. I impressed managers from other shifts as well as I am quick to learn and quick to adapt to wherever I'm assigned to.
Then last year was when shit started going downhill. First, a couple of managers in my shift were fired and the merge operator (who handles a lot of stuff concerning the backwall and shipping) was also fired, much to my disappointment because he and I were a dynamic duo as we were both fast and accurate and managed to keep everything going even on days when we had a skeleton crew. Then near the start of summer, I was put on detailed housekeeping and one of the things I often do since I mostly just sweep up dirt and stuff from the floor is have my music going and I even dance while I sweep, which was rather more effective because I had more stuff cleared out that way. One manager caught me dancing my way to the nearest garbage can with a dustpan full of dirt and dumping it and he chewed me out for "playing around instead of working". I tried to explain that I was working but I always got interrupted (something I always hated but I usually bite my tongue). Then came the lecture of how I need to "get my priorities straight" when I came in 10 minutes late, even though I called in late due to a brief family emergency. I eventually got wrote up near the ending of last year all because I called in a few days off due to having a bad alternator and no other way of getting to work.
Then finally this year, I started dealing with being screamed at by different folks, mostly maintenance, over petty shit (like having to call in maintenance for a broken conveyor belt and getting screamed at because I inadvertently called the wrong lane number and tried to correct it or getting screamed at for not hearing a call for a walkthrough due to loud mechanical noises) then it went from that to having one manager openly talk shit about me through the radio as well as an unknown employee doing the same a couple of weeks ago after having me running back and forth to the same areas over and over again, calling me incompetent and such, while I was having a flare up in my left knee due to a high school injury. I originally requested a shift change but when the shit-talking started, I pretty threatened my managers that either I change shifts or I quit because I won't tolerate it anymore. I already decided I quit a little after writing a rather lengthy note, because I had enough and there's no guarantee it won't happen again (especially since the managers are now begging me to stay) but I'm staying on long enough until I'm hired elsewhere then I'm putting in my two weeks.
Word to the wise for both managers and employees: don't EVER push around and bully an associate, especially one that's your best, because you will regret it.
A perfect example of how bad the HVAC sales people are I was once on a job where we had to put in a vent for the kitchen of a business that the walk around of the work we spotted proof the sales guy never looked on that side of the building as it was covered with a fire escape and power line.
I work for a Midwestern chain of farming/hunting/general merchandise type store. Not only does it feel like the only way the managers know how to communicate is by yelling at you regardless if there is any sort of fault on your end, if you clock in any later than the five minutes early that is the earliest they allow you, you get treated as though you're late. Of course, if they actually opened the store when it was supposed to instead of five minutes early it wouldn't be as much of an issue. I just hate my going out of the way to not be late to be assumed to be the norm and feel taken advantage of.
For those who might be curious, the company in question is Fleet Farm. I still love it as a store, but man, not as a place to work.
When the lockdown started I worked at a amusement park. They needed to shut down so instead of keeping people to work they fired everyone with 0-hours contract. 100 others and me, I didn’t care because I already had a new job 200 meters away from my former work. The funny thing was that when they could open up again they didn’t had the workers for it. So they called everyone if they wanted to work there again. No one wanted that and they couldn’t open up because they were understaffed.
I drove city transit in Northern Kentucky. Went through and put in my lumps to get a pretty good piece of work. Well liked by the passengers and other drivers. Then the company just stopped hiring. We have something like 20% retention rate because of shitty schedules. I started getting long days like when I first started. I'm talking my normal shift was 3:00 P to 1:00A and I would be forced to come in at 6:00 A. Instead of hiring people they put a new schedule where almost everyone was working at least 5 hours of overtime. I called them out on it and got yelled at in front of the other drivers. I took about 2 months to get my shit in order before I put in my 2 week and posted it publicly on my social media. They called me the next day and paid me out.
My last straw is when i was told that my drawer (worked as a cashier) lost 28500 LBP (Lebanese pound, our currency) so i paid that amount from my pocket and the next day it turned out that they miscalculated (they missed a receipt that was paid online, even though i told them about it, and guess what! They miscalculated 3 times) and my drawer actually had 3000 LBP more than i should have. So i couldn't take their incompetence (and bad work conditions, like that chair that broke when i was sitting on it and i fell to the floor), and their terrible/chaotic management (and that asshole of a boss they had) anymore, so i quit after 2 weeks of working there.
Years ago, I worked a place that would write up cashiers if thay were over or under by $3. My cashier, who was good, got stung by a bee and had to go, so they sent a replacement from another store. I tok the till and counted it and it was 3.12 short. I quietly slipped a dollar into the till. Not l sing a good employee over something that was potentially not her fault.
Walked out on a place after I figured out all the people who were mutilated there had it happen at work. Missing fingers, crushed hand, cut up back, mostly severed leg, brain injury.... but it's a great place to work.
Not for $12.50/hr it ain't
what kind of a job was that??
@@Etianen7 steel plant
You can call me a entitled millennial, but you still need to pay me properly to make me even give a shit about your company lol
Just today i called my manager because she said that "I've been on my phone the whole week I've been working here" ( i used to work at a gym just sanitize the equipment and so on) which i havent since i actually needed the job so she said come on Saturday, i did, but the snow went up to my bumper which i thought was dangerous to drive on so i called in. Came to work today at 10am but the manager told me to come back next Saturday, i asked her why and she said that there is a small bit of employees so i will be moved to a different company, but when i said "What is really going on? I've been told i was fired and wanted to ask u if thats true" she said yes but the reason is because i said something inappropriate after we had a meeting (which never happened) told my friend about it and he said "Yeah she doesnt know how to do her fucking job and she was the manager for 3 months and fired half of the crew"
I quit my job because my boss decided it was okay to schedule me on one of my unavailable days. I had so many things to do that day because it was one of my days off, I got mad and told him that this text that I'm sending his should be taken as me quitting. It wasn't the first time they did this and sure wouldn't have been the last. If you truly appreciate the people who work for you, respect them as humans, ask them if what you're about to do to them is okay. I had already been working 10 days straight, with that day off being taken away from me, I would have been working 17 days straight. Now I've been enjoying 2 weeks off just relaxing not worrying about anything. It's nice.
when the time comes and i have to quit my job, im going out on 2 weeks notice and wont sever any ties. I love the people at my job and i moderately like the job itself (cart kid/bagger/matienance) and the only reason I would quit unnoticed is if a customer went off on me, and the customers are actually decent.
I agree - I gave my 2 weeks' notice at a job I had grown to hate (management was the worst, but the regular employees were nice and hardworking). VP asked me for a list of my job tasks that would need to be shifted to someone else, and I gave it to her right away.
First week - no one is sent to me for any type of training, passwords, templates - nothing. On Wednesday of the second week, with Friday being my last day, "I said, "You know, nobody's had any training to do this job yet."" The VP had an "Oh s***!" moment and I spent the next two days cramming information at people so they could do the job. I could have just kept quiet and left that Friday with nobody trained, but I felt like I left with my head up.
My coworkers gave me a goodbye party, we all had pizza, they got me a gift and everything. It was awesome. And management was somewhere else that day, so they couldn't ruin our party.
worked for Walgreens as a pharmacy tech, this was when covid was bout 4 months in. manager there was an ass half the time, mor specifically, i was the only guy working as a pharm tech. but anyways i have a bit of a quiter voice, yes i was the quiet kid in school and hence each time at drive thru, at the window, i had to pull down my mask bcs ppl cant hear me, got yelled at for that. then while working, i told him schedule wise i am not avail weekends and friday after 6 pm, proceeds to schedule me till close on Friday. the final straw was when he bitched about me not wearing the scrubs provided to pharm techs, thing is, he never ordered me a uniform and wrote me up TWICE for this, so it was around new years, and while he was away, i resigned after a month of working there with no 2 weeks and on new year's rush. met him at thr store later to pick up my uncle precription, here he comes saying "why didnt you give a 2 weeks" my response, "when you fire me, do you give me 2 weeks?" Gerardo if you reading this, before chewing someone out for shit at least get your side right and learn to fucking not discriminate(another pharm tech, a female, 2 of em, didnt wear unifrom, hell camed in torn jeans and leggins, here im in black dress pants and a blue jacket gettin yelled at)
10:21 That owner was absolutely trying to traffic OP. They should've gotten the police involved. I have no doubt he's done that before.
Lol @ "for not just thinking of yourself"
Dude literally got everyone let go with his actions lol.
The bartender whos mom had surgery i feel you bro. Much love for you and your family.
The best bosses I've had over my career have been female, but so was the very worst one. We were in a staff meeting. She had met my girlfriend once, and she was aware she was younger than me. By the time of this meeting we were engaged. The boss was on my case because she thought I seemed boring and stoic (I guess), so she thought I would not represent the business well in front of the clients. So she asked, "Does your girlfriend have a father?"
Me: "Uhhh, yes she does..."
Boss: "I'm surprised she's with you."
Me: "Why?"
Boss: "Because you're like a boring old man, so why would she want you unless she needs a father figure?"
I stood up, dropped my pad and pen on the table, and quietly said "You have no right to comment on my relationship with my fiancée."
I turned and walked out of the building, got in my car, and left.
Worked as a driver for amazon. 6 to 6pm schedule and there was always over time. They stated trying micromanage us. Advanced ai cameras in our vans
They started overloading our vans and encouraged drivers to work through my breaks and lunch to finish on time. On strict time schedule. Everything I adapted to until they changed my schedule to work 10am to 11pm. I used up my benefits from insurance, used all my sick days and cashed in my pto. I quit on the 1st day back after my vacation and ended it right after my shift. An amazon worker told me something retarded during loadout so that's when I decided I was going to quit. Had an awesome day. And even got a tip for the first time. Thank you awesome customer.
The beer pong one would be so cool. I'm glad that person went!
Hollister guy I relate to you my man!
I quit on the same principal. Was told when I walked through the door, collect a razor (at least mine was provided lol) or get no more shifts. I put my very nice and deceptively inexpensive coat on and got my tail out of there.
It might sound over the top but it's degrading, not.to mention discriminatory. What about those who have beards on religious reasons? Essentially they cannot work in either Hollister or my shitty old workplace.
When my boss gave the guy who showed up half way through his shift employee of the month.
10:15 That's grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit, if I'm correct.
15:45 this is still a serious issue. i remember a story of a leak from a plane manufacture where the staff were joking about tricking the inspectors, how they wouldnt dare let their families use them, and their planes were falling out of the sky. i dont know how it went but i dont hold high expectations on people who actually deserve it getting punished when large money is involved.
To the one with the till. I would have either: a) spilled the till onto the floor on my way out and yelled “free money” or b) emptied the till into my pockets on my way out. But tills at the open usually only have like $50-$75.
Saw this exact same video from a few different channels months ago. Dig deeeper.
In high school I worked at a nation Mexican restaurant chain. When I first started I was getting 15 hours a week since it was my senior year. After graduation I assumed they would give me more hours. About 6 months into working there, they only scheduled me one day a week, Taco Tuesdays. Some Tuesday’s I would work the full shift of 5 hours, but others I was told to just go home because they didn’t need me due to it being slow. The worst part about that was my grandmother gave me rides to work since I didn’t have a car yet. So I would have to turn right around and call her to come get me. My paychecks were shit due to working on two days a pay period. So I would bring home about $100 a month. On top of that they took out a thing called “uniform payments”. It was only a few bucks here and there, but it was still obnoxious because I had it paid off after only a few months, but they still took money out anyway. I also was pissed because they had a Christmas party and didn’t include me, nor did I get a Christmas bonus since I didn’t work enough hours. So after working there for a year and a half, I was informed by the manager that they were going to let me go because I didn’t work enough hours. I told them that they make my schedule and since it was the summer I could work more that one Damn day a week. They told me they would think about it and told me to go back to work. A few days later I applied for another job, interviewed and was hired on the spot. I walked in tall and proud that fateful Taco Tuesday as I walked up to my manger halfway through my shift and told them this was going to be my last day, and I was leaving due to crappy hours. They just looked at me and said, “Okay…”
My friend worked for an insurance adjuster (small office). It was great for a while. Then the owner sold the business to retire. The new owner was not in the field so they hired a manager. This manager was a guy who HATED women. He looked for any excuse to berate them. He didn’t fire them, it’s like he wanted to have them there to make them suffer. He started yelling at the women (and NOT the guys) if they were not early, if they left on time, it got ridiculous.
Now he particularly seemed to hate menstruation. He started tracking how many times per day the women went to the bathroom. He lost five people in one week for sh*t like this.
One day my friend came in and all the women were pulled into a meeting. He started screaming at them, saying that someone flushed a “nasty woman thing” down the toilet and it got clogged. He said if someone didn’t own up right now he would take the cost of the repair out of each of their paychecks. My friend (who had had a hysterectomy four years before) got up, said “I don’t menstruate” and walked out to call a client. The manager started screaming at her saying he would dock her pay anyway. Here’s the good part.
Said client actually misunderstood that the meeting was supposed to be a phone call and had shown up. Guess where he worked? The EEOC. The manager was was fired the next day.
