    Was fired for no reason. Escorted off the property. Called a buddy of mine. That taco bell was one of the busiest in my state. Was shut down by my buddy for 2 weeks. My buddy was the lead health inspector. I made it a point to show up the day my buddy shut it down . Said hi and shook his hand. Made plans to have a few drinks later. The look of sheer hatred on my former store manager and district manager. Priceless. They knew what I did. I knew what I did. But they couldn't prove it.

    One of our kitchen managers quit after being completely fckd over week after week. Days worth of prep left for him to try and get done in a few hours. Before he left, he switched all of the kitchen staff to $200 an hour. It will be at least a week before our GM will notice he wont be able to reverse it for the previous pay period

      I had a store manager at the grocery store where I worked get fired, do the exact same thing (switch people in the computer to massive salaries before he left), and he ended up being arrested for fraudulent tampering with the company's computer system. I'm not sure what came of my old boss' arrest, but I hope your kitchen manager doesn't get in trouble.

    I quit a job as a cook in a restaurant the manager was a real tyrant , but before I left I took pictures of all the filthy disgusting conditions in the kitchen the bathroom, dining area and walk in reefer . I gave all that to the health department two days later they were shut down and a month later there are business . And it was such a pleasure to go in and get my final check and after I had it in my hand I told the manager that I did this the color just washed out of his face .

      Overworked me on carts
      When they hired me they made me the cart guy HATED the job so I would haul 12 small carts to the store and 8 -10 big ones for 3 years until I developed lower back pain . I told my manager i no longer want to haul carts this bitch goes"you cant pick and choose what tasks you can or cannot do". That was in 2021 Told the assistant store a manager one day in jan 2022 that I ve been doing this and the Front End Manager the bitch told me the reason. Assistant store manager goes"when was the last time you had this conversation i go last year ASM goes did she do anything i go no.
      ASM goes this will be the last time you haul carts so i sucked it up one last time doing it. But the bitch manager FEM would take FUCKIN FOREVER finding a cart person literal months she would sit in her office for 8 hours doing schedules while I an breaking my back for this bitch and she dont give a fuck.
      One time she trained a person on the customer service desk for 3 weeks first official shift on the customer service desk the newly trained guy has to train a girl who also wants to do the service desk.
      One time the bitch would go on 4 vacations every year once in march june aug december

In Aug 2022 i got a job start date was Sept 12 at a bank put in availability for one day a week bitch comes from vacation and wants me to work another day with the promise that if its not busy she will not book me to work. It was a lie from her teeth thanksgiving 2022 sunday before thanksgiving Friend of mi e calls me up saying come over lets play NBA 2K23 i m like sure. Called in sick for the first time in 3 years that day the saturday that followed thanksgiving bitch asks me why i called out i said i was sick bitch goes on to say i ve been here 3 years we need to count on you and says this you need to determine whether you want to be here or not. Giving me a ultimatium i begrudgingly said okay i ll stay she books me 3 weekends saturday and sunday in a row 3 weeks. I worked 2 weekends until it dawned on me that 3 years she treated me like trash insulted me and expects me to be loyal fuck that. I called in sick the following sunday. Now we head into November 2 weeks into it my favorite coworker a girl tells me its her last day and the bitch is giving her ultimatiums like me i told her how i was gonna miss her loved working with her among more my shift as 9-2 saturday bitch walks up to me that day at 11 and talks to me about why i am calling out i told her my reasons and she harshly goes you have to decide do you want to be here or not giving me another ultimatium. I wore a face mask cause i was sick but as she told me her ultimatium i was smiling cause i knew i was fuckin done.
      After work was finished i went home typed up my notice it went like this
      To Bitch
      Picture of spongebob iight imma head out
      Underneath

      Sounds a bit like what's about to happen with my dad, he works for a radio company and there really isn't a sacred hour they can't call him in to drive several hours to go fix someone else's mistake, he's working on trying to get a job at a different company where he can be on one week and off two.
      He is their number one worker to my knowledge and I heard multiple co-workers compliment him on it, I have a feeling they'll need like three extra people to do what he does.
      That was the inverse of the job he had for most of my life as I believe a house designer, where his boss kept taking away parts of his work because he thought he was pushing my dad too hard.
      He left that job because he was tired of just sitting in a cubicle for hours with nothing to do, I heard that his boss had tried to increase his wages a ton to get him to stay.

    All the assistant managers quit, so I stepped up to fill the void to help the store keep runining at a Burger King (franchise)... this went on for several months, then my manager went on vacation so I was acting manager from open to close the entire time... about a week before the manager came back, the regional manager came by, I asked for a promotion to match my responibilities and was told "We cannot do that, you haven't taken the management test" so I asked to take it and was told "We cannot do that, the test is out of date. Deal with it. Just after that conversation a truck order came in, and the delivery guy ripped a handsink off the wall, so while the regional manager was sitting there on the floor getting sprayed in the face with water, I threw the store keys at him and quit on the spot. The regional manager had to cover the last week of the managers vacation. The manager asked me to return, and I said "Only if I get promoted." and was told "I checked on that and they will not allow it" so I said "Then I refuse your offer to return".

    I got a job with a covid task force. The place i was assigned to never opened up on the expected dates. I felt no sense of accomplishment but stayed at the time because the boss was a nice guy. He got relocated and was replaced with a rude person. The new boss was a former teacher and complete opposite of the old boss. She would Constantly stand in our way and watch over us during lunch break and yell at the office workers if they even said hi. The punch clock was a phone app but would get chewed out if we had phones on us. We also started carrying "decoy phones" (old phones we hid in the pocket and would hand them over in the morning). I was at the point of not being able to handle her sober. Last day I told her i was quitting and she was the exact reason why. I told her tomorrow is my last day. Found out a few months later she was on thin ice. Two people quit the next day, which forced her to clean until they got replacements and she became more nasty. Eventually no one wanted to work there even with a high starting wage. The company terminated their contract and she was jobless until school opened back up.

      My son worked for Dominos as a delivery driver. If business was slack he had to clean floors and toilets - not very hygienic imo. When you've got to handle the bags and boxes for delivery. And we all know people don't always wash their hands enough. He had a car accident - not related to his driving job - and was in hospital for 3 months then on crutches for 6 months. He suffered very serious injuries to both legs pelvis shoulder and spine and was in the operating theatre for 12 hours on the first day and 5 hours the following day. The sugeon said he might lose one of his legs and part of his buttock. He then got MRSA infection in his wounds -a very serious flesh eating bug. He then underwent several more operations over the next 12 months. Domino's never even enquired how he was or sent a get well card - NOTHING at all not even a phone call . Just shows what sort of company they are. They absolutely DO NOT CARE about their staff

He came out as such an uncaring, flattery-seeking, bloody asshole (despite outrageous editting to try to make him look good, which was kind of the point of the shop) that upon watching that show I blacklisted Domino on the spot.

    My story of quitting and leaving a mess to deal with. I used to work as a line cook for a fast food restaurant. One day a bus pulled into our parking lot and gave our manager a heads up that they were going to be getting roughly 300 cheese burgers and some other items. My manager knew about this 6 hours ahead of time and the coach also said they talked to the manager again 30 minutes before showing up because they were running a little early. 300 patties is nothing when you have a half hour but when your manager waits until the order is in to tell you to cook it then tries to rush you without helping I quit. I made a big show of it too. I went up to the front where the guests were and when my manager saw me they began on me telling me to get back to the grill. I had already got a chance to ask them if they called ahead so I already knew my manager had notice so I loudly replied so everyone in the store could hear me "you had plenty of heads up for this yet you stayed quiet so if you want those patties cooked your going to do it or I quit." They just said "stop this nonsense and get back to work." I took off my work shirt and put it on the counter and went back to grab my back pack. Turns out the other workers had some of the same stuff happen to them and walked with me. I felt bad for the kid who was working the register because they had stayed alone with the manager. However they were lucky enough to be young enough to not be allowed to cook things and wasn't trained in the burger making processes.

    I had a job in a chicken factory for 7 years operating the cardboards. I was always doing as I pleased knowing I'm such an important worker, but it got to a point where they put someone in charge of me that they knew everyone hates. When the bosses refused to take care of something that I needed to make it easy for all of us, I told them that they have a week (which was a vacation for the whole factory) to take care of it or else it gets messy without me. They were confident that I was replaceable by who they put in charge, but the day I stopped showing up, they wouldn't stop calling me and were begging me to come back but by then I had found a new job. The last time they called me was in spring 2019 after quitting in fall 2014. The manufacturing job that I found was shipped overseas and it was on the news, in fact it was announced from the first day I started working there but took 4 and semi years to make good their word.

    I got a job working as a store manager for Dollar General early on in my management career, before I realized how horrible of a reputation they had for treating thier employees like slaves. I took over and mostly cleaned up a train wreck of a disorganized store that had a back room so clogged with stuff it wasn't funny, there were unopened boxes that had been back there for years full of products the store no longer even carried. I was almost but not all the way finished trying to get this store under control when the DM decided I was doing a great job and dropped a second store on me to clean up. This second one was seriously infested with mice and was about to be shut down by the board of health.
    So now I am trying to run and manage both stores at the same time, and the second one had no assistant manager or third key. That meant I was the only one that could unlock or lock the doors and had to be there at opening and closing time every day. Meantime the DM would not allow me to hire or promote anyone else into management to help with the second store, or have the assistant from the first store help cover the second. So I am now working 7 days a week all day long, and spending a ton of time and gas driving back and forth between these 2 trying to get everything done. The day the DM showed up and screamed at me for having "too much product claimed in damages" was the final straw for me.
    I had spent all day the day before hauling mouse infested bags of dog food to the dumpster as that is where they were living, eating, and breeding. There was no avoiding throwing this stuff out or claiming it as damaged, nobody wants to buy dog food bags that reek of mouse pee. The board of health had also been VERY explicit that they had been on the DM for too long about the mice already and that if the stuff wasn't gone when they inspected next they were shutting the store down as a public health risk. Despite that, she chose to SCREAM at me and write me up. We were at the first, and nicer of the two stores, standing by the cash registers when this happened. Also there were a casheir, the assistant manager, and a few customers.
    I literally just got so fed up I ran out of F's to give due to being nearly a month with no day off, dealing with toxic mouse waste, and I told the DM I was quitting and tried to hand them my keys. Her response? "I don't accept that. You can't quit"..... WTF? LADY are you for REAL? I tolld her her refusal to ACCEPT that I was quitting didn't mean it wasn't happening and when she still refused to take the keys I dropped them on the counter and walked out. This was plainly visible on the video cameras, you could see me offering the keys and then just dropping them. Meantime she decides to chase me into the parking lot, still screaming at me as I am attempting to leave, as if that would make me change my mind and want to stay.
    Later on, all HELL breaks loose. I guess she assumed my keys were picked up by the assistant, or else she just totally forgot to wonder what happened to them, i have no clue. All I know is that the assistant told me she walked away quickly and got "very busy in the back room, hoping the DM didn't come looking for her trying to promote her to my job" lol. I was told that the store video showed a small kid coming and picking the keys up off of the counter. Later on after the store closed, a lot of people had a field day looting the place. They figured out who the kid was, but the kid claimed they had dropped the keys again later on outside the store. Whoever was on video looting wasn't the kid, the kid wasn't giving any helpful information, the parents of the kid "weren't involved" and were verifiably somelace else when the store got robbed. The store had video cameras but no alarm system. The people looting it seemed to be aware of that. They were all wearing ski masks and using the back door. There was no video of whatever vehicle they were using/loading but there must have been several or a very big one because when the assistant showed up the next day to open, the place looked visibly looted.
    Meantime the second store never opened at all that morning because there was nobody to run it. So the corporate office started getting calls from people complaining the store was closed when it was supposed to be open, and were peeved that the DM hadn't even warned them there was an issue with management staffing. They were not pleased but at this point the blame looked to be on ME as the jerk. That is, until the police contacted them about the other store being robbed and looted and the facts came out that it had the same manager that had quit running both places, and it had been robbed because the DM had refused to accept and secure the keys. They were still trying to deal with the looting nightmare and sent a fill-in manager from another district to run the second place until a replacement could be found. Of course the DM told them nothing about the severity of the infestation or the coming inpection, so the new guy discovered the issue on his own but had unfortunately noticed the lack of dry dog food in the store and already ordered a bunch thinking they were just ran out. The health inspector comes by to check on progress sees more dry food being placed in the store after he specfically agreed with me to give it a bit mor etime strictly based on agreement to REMOVE all such product, and IMMEDIATELY gets p*ssed off and cites the store as a health hazzard and shuts it down.
    Within a week the DM got fired due to having one store get looted for tens of thousands of dollars of stuff and the other one closed by the board of health. The funny part? Both the assistant and I knew (or could guess), based on watching the security feed from the looting incident who several of the people were, but we both just shrugged and kept quiet. Cause F*ck DG and that DM. Worst place I have ever worked by far. Last I heard the DM was being held financially liable for the loss of products stolen and being sued for the lost income of the second store.

Not to mention, “the servers have to work as a host for a few months anyway so they can learn the tables.” Alright. Fast forward a few weeks and we have a new server, who doesn’t have to host, never worked at the spot. This happens about five times before break. The day comes and my boss starts avoiding me like the plague, hmmm, turns out she didn’t need anymore servers. Her justification for leaving me as a host, “I never said WHEN I’d do it.” Alright, you wanna play, let’s play.
    Fast forward to a freaking BUSY Friday night. We have 3 10-20+ parties as well as a full list. Our wait time was roughly 90 minutes. And we have 3 tables available, hmmm. Now’s my time to shine! I notify 6 parties (all 3 massive parties, and a few people who recently showed up. The 90 minute wait time they were told was reduced to 10.) I call a manager to the front, leave the host stand, clock out, and leave the building. What happened? I’m not sure. But with 40-60 people who didn’t have a table, along with the three parties who actually had room to be seated, and the customers who’d been waiting 30-80 minutes that just saw them get seated, I don’t imagine it was good. Oh! The icing on top? The cohost was my verbally abusive cheating ex. It was a great night.

    I was a truck driver for a really big trucking company in the US back in the '00s. The ones with the big orange trucks and trailers. My dispatcher retired and the new one that set me with a complete idiot that kept screwing up my dispatch orders. This got so bad that she sent me to the wrong state with a high-value load of plasma screen TVs. She tried to throw me under the bus for that one and when I proved that I did my job right she complained to her boss who declared to tell me that I 'should have known better' and told me i was being officially reprimanded for her mistake.
    My next run was going back the my home terminal anyway and when I dropped off my keys and quit. My dispatcher even had the gall to threaten me with a truck relocation fee (which is what you get if you just abandon a truck somewhere) but since I returned my truck to the depot they didn't have an argument.

    I remember quitting my job as a safety officer in an industrial plant way back 2019. I was so unfortunate to be assigned to a crew of dudes that are so hardheaded I felt like I was taking care of grown ass children. I had to always raise my voice just to get their attention and they would secretly mock me for it. I never really get along with them as I was already suspended for 7 days with no pay after some of them went past me without me checking their safety equipment and they got caught by one of the security guards and reported the incident. I couldn't even pass the blame to anyone as it was my job to check their safety equipment but these MFs were so hardheaded that they thought it wouldn't be a big deal. I threatened them that if I resign, their job would also come to a stop and they would never be able to continue their work and get their salary until the company has found another safety officer and it may take months for them to have replacement officer since SO's have to train for months outside the plant in order to be qualified.
    I did resign because I realized that the amount of salary I get will never compensate the stress these men would give me daily. HR even offered to increase my salary because of their situation on the lack of safety officers during that time. I declined their offer and applied to a construction company that paid me almost 1.7 times my salary was before, and luckily I was assigned to a group of oldheaded construction workers that really knows what to do and they were easy to deal with.

      I had a similar experience as SO for an independent contract crew working in the mining industry.
      There was 1 guy instigating the trouble. Prior to his hiring (he was a distant family member of the owners), the safety record was near perfect.
      I repeatedly requested his transfer or dismissal to no avail.
      I quit. They couldn't get on to the site without me, and it cost the company the contract.
      They begged me to return to work with the exact same crew.
      That was when I found out the idiot was family, and they refused to acknowledge that he was the problem.
      I last heard the company folded a couple of months after that.

      I did that for a while during a weird situation and it was great lol. I was working for Aldi, Inc right about the time when they started installing scanners in all their stores. I got paid VERY well to do the following weird routine: Drive to the next location to be installed, which could be several hours away from the one before it. I had to arrive prior to the store closing and was not paid for drive time. However that drive time was almost the only time during the day I was NOT on the clock lol. Once I arrived and the store closed I was just simply expected to "be in the building" while the company that installed the new cash wraps and registers did thier thing. I would just lock the doors with us all inside and generally go to sleep (and get paid to do so) while they worked overnight.
      In the morning I would inspect the work, sign thier tickets and unlock the doors to alow them to leave, and then train the opening cashiers and manager how to use the new equipment. Then I would leave and drive to the next store and spend the night there. I showered at gyms along the way, and ate takeout enroute between stores. I was getting a base pay of $15 to do this, but only up until 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. Anything more than that was time and a half. Considering most days I was in a store for at least 16-18 hours a day, I was making fat bank. And I even got a few cents a mile gas reimbursement too. If you wanna pay me to sleep etc sure, I'll work as many hours and do as many stores as you want. I was quite content with not going home for weeks at a time and was very sad when the installs were all finished lol. Only time I have ever head of anyone feeling truly happy to be pretty much living at thier job.

I tried to let her know that the new program was very tedious at times and it took twice as long to close out each client and if they wanted to use two different forms of payment I would literally have to open two different templates which made the computer look like we had more clients booked and it really messed up our numbers. She didn't listen she wanted to keep implementing all these different policies despite us not having the staff and one day I just told her I couldn't do it anymore. She also wanted me to do all of this for barely minimum wage and expected me to work 60 hours a week.

It takes me time to learn a new skill, even in food prep, but when I get it I work hard and strictly follow protocol always. I would not make small talk, or tell jokes. I just did my job. There was some tall, blond a-hole, who wss only 19-20 and was a shift manager (or whatever the term was). He asked me inappropriate questions, made fun of me in front of workers and customers, and demanded I do things he would find amusing. My anger grew for weeks, under the surface, without me saying a word. One afternoon he was sitting in the lobby, not really doi g anything. He called me over and was teasing me and being a dick. He finally asked me to do something. I think it was to say the pledge of allegence in the middle of the bust lobby. He was egging me on. I had never done one of his bullshit demands, but had only ever just kept saying no. He would always laugh at me when I did this. Apparently I had enough. I pointed at time, and bellowed at him that he was a childish asshole and a terrible boss. I yelled "I quit" and walked out and walked home, still wearing my uniform. His face when I started screaming was shocked, and he said nothing as I left.

It was annoying to do it after every process so I bundled them into one large folder and compiled them at the end of the month, after I was finished with my stuff and sitting around with nothing to do. Well, they let me go after I finished month end processes, but before I put everything onto the server. I don't know if they pulled the info off my computer or managed to remake everything.

    The Shoppers Drug Mart story is a great example of why every workplace needs a union. I'm a manager. I totally understand not wanting a new employee on night shifts. Night shift employees are observed less and you need people on the job you can trust to be self motivated. You don't know that about new employees yet.
    Thing is...as a worker thats not your problem. You're only responsible for your job and balancing it with the rest of your life. You have fundamentally different, and often opposed, goals to the management but without collective action the balance of power is too far on my side.

The regular tech was at training and I had to cover for him, I was the only one who had completed it. I was onsite cover for the regular tech when the director heard me talking to a person in the lunch line and I said it was slow and I was studying my Windows NT book and playing a few game of solitaire to keep from going crazy. Next thing I knew, the man in front of me in line grabs me and start demanding to know who I was. I literally stepped back and made a fist, that how out of nowhere this was. I gave it to him, went back to my desk, and called my boss and told him. He said, I told you to baby set the system, study for the next certification and a few game of solitaire is not a problem. By the end of that day, I was escorted to my car to get my badge and parking pass and barred from coming back. Told my boss, he got a meeting the following week to plead the case for me to be allowed back onsite. While in the waiting room, I interviewed for my current job and turned in my 2 weeks notice while he was waiting. He walked in, told the FBI director that he treated me so badly, that I resigned and he had no support until the regular tech comes back in 4 weeks.

      Honestly, that's exactly what I did. I now know far too much to be able to be fired, which is also very stressful at times.
      As in, a few weeks ago, I was so stressed out that I was literally going to quit on the spot. I was handling 12 jobs that were not mine, had no time to do ANY of them, and no Supervisors were in on that Friday, so I was acting Supervisor for 2 whole divisions and was having to make decisions. What broke me was an employee asking if I was going to "come back" to a Supervisor position in their division... after the last one had run it into the ground in two years and then got a promotion. I broke. Anyway, I went home and for the second time in 19 years, I made a post about work on Facebook, this one massively scathing toward the entire organization.
      After a couple days, I took the post down, because I realized I was friends with people who were also friends with the people I was saying crap about, and I didn't want to deal with that during work hours.
      I got pulled into the office on the following Monday about it and they started reading me the riot act about what I could and could not post on Social Media and the moment I said it was only the second time I'd ever done so and that I was ready to quit the moment I walked into the office that morning and the only reason I hadn't that Friday was because there was nobody in office to give my resignation to... suddenly the tune changed and it was all about "how to fix things for me".
      For perspective, here's a lot of what I do:
      Random IT jobs for staff. Setting up computers, moving computer equipment around, hooking things up, troubleshooting program issues (not my job that I was hired to do).
      Creating and maintaining training materials for staff (not my job or why I was hired).
      Training all the staff (part of my actual job, but my other coworker who is meant to do training was banned from training as she is the reason a lot of our new employees quit).
      Creating and maintaining records of productivity for staff (not my job).
      Monitoring staff (not my job, and I don't have time to do it).
      Point of contact between my division and any other division, so everything has to go through me (my other coworker refuses to do this portion of the job, so it's mine).
      Acting Supervisor, even when current supervisor is actually there (not my job, but I was previously a Supervisor and dang good at it, so guess who gets to do it now?).
      Filling in for jobs when we're short-staffed.
      Creating and maintaining reports for our division (not my job) as well as distributing those reports to higher-ups (not my job).
      Answering questions any and all staff have at any given moment.
      Handling angry customers or complicated questions.
      Here's what I'm CURRENTLY working on:
      Actually creating a training protocol for new employees that I wanted to implement two years ago when I first started, but we decided to implement NOW after my coworker made a lot of new employees quit due to "poor training". Of which, I have no time to do, because I'm doing a lot of "answering questions" and "dealing with complicated customer issues".
      Granted, I do make like $22 an hour, but knowing a lot of things and being a very good worker CAN hurt you, if there's nothing in place to take some of the work off of you, or to expect the same of other employees as they expect of you.
      My bosses told me to give them until October to fix the issues. I said, "okay". So, we're gonna see how that goes.

    I worked for Smears-Morebucks during the fall of '68 in the warehouse. I was a naval reservist and knew I was going on active duty in March so I wasn't surprised when they laid me off after Christmas, though I wasn't happy that they did it on New Years eve day. But what really earned my undying enmity was when they laid off a large number of salesman, installers, etc. who'd been with Sears some since the end of WWII. They were totally screwed out of their retirement. Some were rehired as contract workers or part time, but they'd already lost all their benefits. So over the next week as I finished my time, I took it upon myself to do as much damage as I could to appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, etc. My piece-de-resistance was dropping a dryer from a fork lift from about 8' up. My friend Rob who stayed on said they were still finding damaged items 3 months later; the damage was blamed on truckers and other handlers. I imagine that in '68 $ I probably did $3-4K damage. I never went back into Sears once after that and their collapse delights me no end.

    Not my story, but my mom's. Except, I was there to see it happen.
    My mom worked in a national park at canoe/kayak rentals. She spent her day in the lil shack near the shore, instructed customers, sometimes helped them get boats to the water and at the end of the day, cleaned up and and put back the boats that clients didn't put in the right places. 200lbs canoes and whatever. I helped her sometimes, cuz it was a really nice job, but it required a whole lot of effort!
    Well, she used to be paid 20$/hour the previous season. So she entirely expected to stay at that amount when the new season started, especially since her boss didn't say anything. A few weeks into the season, the high season starts, but it's super rainy and there's not many people. I go with her just to keep her company at this point and be able to sew in the calm of nature. But one day, I decide to bring one of my friends. I wanted to go on the lake with him, but we couldn't because of surprise thunderstorms.
    My mom has nothing to do, so she counts how much she received the previous week.... She is off a lot of money. She calls her boss. Turns out she had been at 16.50$ since the beginning of the season. I saw her pack her things, not even count the till and leave after the last customer came back.
    And no, the boss wasn't in financial difficulty. He had just bought 50k worth of brand new custom equipment. I spent hours with my mom reorganizing the PFD racks and carry brand new kayaks to the shore. Man was so fucking grredy and stupid, he had the three convenience stores in the park. He let them go, because they didn't make enough money or some shit. Of course they didn't make enough money, you sold mostly shit, candy and brand name crap. Only good thing was the coffee at one of the places. Never made that much coffee in my live before. Massively overpriced coffee. Even with the 50% employee discount it was overpriced. But hey, tourists don't always know what the money is worth..... So they didn't care. But they left lots of tip

    When I first arrived back in the UK I took a job as a cleaner. Just for a couple of months before my benefits could begin and I could start to put my shattered psyche back together. I cleaned exceedingly well for a couple, they particularly loved that I took the dog hair out of the bathroom rug with my bare fingers. But they always had a dinner party beforehand so when I arrived there was a huge pile of washing up to do before I could star the actual cleaning. Which wasn't in the agreement to clean (informal/surely decency). The one thing I asked was that they leave me cash but they kept leaving a cheque - for a very small amount. Why did they never have any cash? When I finally was able to get temporary Govt support I went on my day to clean. They had had a party and left a cheque. So I dropped they keys through the letterbox, told them I was not going to clean any more. They would have come home to that and a disgustingly full sink and they deserved it.

    I worked at a paper plate factory. Horrible warehouse, turn over rates are ridiculous cause they don't know how to treat workers. Anyway I was running the 6 inches appetizer plates that night and this machine was fast it would spit out 5 stacks of plates at a time and you'd have to grab them put them in plastic bags and run them through a over to heat wrap them then boxes tape and send off down the line, but the machines speed was way to high for anyone to keep up with so I'd slow it down or stop it all together to catch up on the massive amount of plates plates piling up all around that machine. But the manager kept turning it back on and up to max speed telling me to go faster. So of course I let them plates continue to pile up as much I could then wrote I quit on a paper plate left it on my wrap station and walked away without turning off the machine by the time I made to gate at the front of the warehouse I looked back and plates had fallen over and kept piling up. The pile of plates was bigger than the machine was. Fux you ajm

I was with them for 10 years, handled hazmat, and other odd jobs that nobody else really had certification to handle. I called out sick for a few days then went back and gave them 3 hours notice for me to teain someone. Lol. I walked out right at 3 hours.

    I worked in a kitchen as a dishwasher and was REALLY good at it, I liked my job, I liked my boss, I disliked about 5 of my coworkers.
    2 of them were friends and would either stand and do nothing in the middle of the rush. 1 of those 2 would walk away after ordering food (we could order anything that was a "loss leader") to eat in the cooler while myself and the others would keep working stopping everytime our hands were empty to eat 1 or 2 bites, but because we were out in the open and not hiding we would get in shit only to explain that we literally JUST stopped a second ago.
    Another coworker was just lazy, would refuse to work the scrub sink, was slow, etc.
    The last 2 (hostesses) were worse than stupid. They would grab someone else's order because they thought it was theirs, they would get snippy when we were unable to get their food done before other people who put in their orders first, the boss wants (they still work there) to get rid of them but both of them are friends of his wife. (My roommate works there still and is keeping me informed.)
    I quit in the middle of a rush after a shit ton of bad luck and fuck ups by the aforementioned coworkers. One of the first 2 talked shit and I almost knocked his ass out, but didn't because I still wanted to be welcome at the place because they have the best Greek food in my province.

    For me: I used to work at a take-and-bake pizza place where we made a raw pizza, you took it home and cooked it in your own oven, it's a cool concept and the pizza's actually really good. The owner is a b*tch who yells most of the time at both employees and customers. I was the only employee she'd taught to do the cheese grating. So I'd come in 3 days a week (out of the 5 I worked) and do cheese for 90% of my shift. We're talking 10 lbs of cheese to a large plastic bin, usually in boxes of 40 lbs, and "logs" of 2 10 lbs blocks. I'd be grating upwards of 60 lbs of cheese a day that I did it.
    Well I eventually got tired of being yelled at for not getting cheese done when we'd have an unusually busy day that'd force me into helping on the make line, so I waited until the day before one of our busiest days (AKA the day I was to do cheese for the next day) and quit without notice. I enjoyed my time off and now get paid to take care of my disabled father.

    Was a kitchenhand at a restaurtant in my old hometown; worked part time, but was in pretty much every workday of the week, because I lived maybe a half hour's walk from the joint. Worked there for over 2 years and that was 2 years too many. Around this time, there was a bunch of new hires in the front of house section and everyone was off their shit, and they were especially lousy when it came to relaying info back to everyone in the kitchen, who was all pretty much senior staff - myself included. Being a dishbitch, you kinda have to take a lot of torment, but there were a lot of nights where I struggled by myself sometimes by the incompetence of the waitstaff.
    There's one night where I finally clean up and close the dishroom around about 11pm, head upstairs and about to clock off, only to have one of the new managers come on by and ask me to stay around, because an especially rowdy function upstairs they hosted is just about to finish and they were about to start bussing down everything. It's a function that's been going on for 4 hours and they've had 3 massive courses; entrees & everything. Apparently, none of the waitstaff could get in to bus anything downstairs to the dishroom, nor did they feel as though they wanted to tell anyone about it. I look him dead in the eye while at the time2work tablet by the staffroom wall, hit clock out and tell him that it's not something I can do off the clock and make my way home.
    The manager who asked me to stay back, as well as some other front of housers, end up staying behind to clean everything until it was 1 in the morning.
    I file a week's notice the very next day; not two weeks, a week. Two weeks would've been too generous for a company that kept treating me like ass.
    tl;dr treat your kitchenstaff right and they'll treat you right.

    I worked in a factory. There was a crew of 8. We made consoles for the hummer. We didn't have many problems until the new company came in and took everyone off the job. Sixs months after they shut the g.m. line down for wrong labels. I will give you one guess how the supervisor kept her job. This cost the company thousands of dollars. So they kept the same people on the job. 5 months later someone put wrong labels again. After the company lost that job they started shutting down the factory.

    Prior to covid, as a recruiter, I put in multiple HR request to investigate the OSHA and health violation of a specific warehouse department which many of our staff were getting sick handling dirty return clothing. Specifically, the requirement to smell check unused clothing set back with used ones. That a case in NY was in open process with that very issue in mind. Also, that the managers with bilingual skills are being forced to refuse to speak any other languages despite staff and HR knowing those languages. This was an obvious legal discrimination policy due to moving in white manager without floor experience instead of promoting the bilingual staff and assistant managers. Immediately after I left due to series of discrimination and health concerns meetings with the whole HR department, covid hit. The white staff members all quit and the number 1 department no one wanted to work in was said department. It was the biggest "I fucking told you" moment of my life.

    They said I walked out of the job so this kind of fits but I was working for a fast food joint and our biggest problem? Seriously understaffed to the point there was ONLY one shift working from open to close. Put it this way but 11 to 12 hour shifts WITHOUT breaks were the norm. Well this fast food joint hired a manager from the job I actually jumped to take this one (cause quite frankly working a closing into a opening shift was burning me out). Well new job was too save it was through a crazy number of hours and I'm NOT as young as I used to be. Actually hired me as 'maintenance' which basically means I get the jobs no one else will do WHILE STILL doing all the cooking of a line cook. Well a new manager was hired actually from the very restraint I jumped... Lets just say this manager was VERY good at guilting people to work harder and longer than their schedule but the moment his shift ended? It's like magic as HE disappears! But physically? I was hitting my limit so I drew a red line. I'll work EXACTLY ten hours straight, not a minute more. New schedule comes out after I informed them. Got scheduled a 10.5 hour shift but hey? If I get a half-hour break? Good to go and if the close ends on time? Good to go but the underlined problem? Still short staffed and the closes usually go long too. Well that day? Didn't get a break and I punch out and went home at the ten hour mark right on the dot. Got 'released' immediately as I was told I quite by walking out of a scheduled shift and I said NO I DIDN'T, I already informed you that I will NOT work longer than ten hours straight and walking out before the close even began? NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE cause I was seriously sick of working PAST the scheduled close too.
    Well after I technically 'quit'? That new manager they hired? Gone less than two months later. I KNOW it burned the stores owners to lose a solid mark when keeping co-workers was hard to begin with. Later? The OWNERS fired EVERYONE and rehired a completely fresh crew. I think I would of been one of their few exceptions to keep because my work record spoke for itself but? I was starting to hit the wall. Thing is the crew I was working with just like me? Was holding on my a shoestring and I actually have to THANK my old manager from my old store because? I went back to my old store but at a much closer location to where I live and this crew? A BLAST to work with! Sometimes it's not the job that kills you but the very people you work with.

    I didn't leave in the heat of the moment, but arranged and executed a decently quick exit. I am a mechanic for UPS, and there are corporate standards for how many vehicles one should be responsible for, it was around 29. When I started, there were around 30 package cars (brown vans) and 12 semis (tractor trailers). Just me working on them. They moved all but four of the tractors out, then added a spare back, and increased the number of cars to 48 over the course of my five years there. So thats almost at the line of what two guys were supposed to be maxed out at. I worked ten hour days from Thanksgiving of 2019 until January of 2023, five to six days a week. It sucked. I was completely burnt out, and my marriage had already been a disaster, so my wife filed for divorce. As an anniversary present.
    I found a smaller center to transfer to, found housing for a good price, and within three months moved 1200 miles away. My old center is a disaster, my replacement only lasted a month, and now there's a hiring freeze. My old supervisor is a bit difficult to work with, which combined with the extreme workload makes it an almost impossible job.

She can’t connect with people. That is a huge part of the job. Neither people have a clue how much I do a day. When I go they will loose their beep beep when they have to do it all on their own. I mean, marketing, office manager, all forms/paperwork, back/front office, correspondence, compliance, the list goes on and on. 😂 That’s what happens in the financial industry and you don’t take care of you workers… sayonara duckers!

But instead of showing up I would also call out. I did that for two weeks and called out for my scheduled 4 hours that next week. That day I was removed from the scheduling app. I was never formally fired and never quit. It was funny
