Being fired for quitting is the biggest gift a company can give you. make sure you catch it on a recording or in email
Not if you are in the US. Most jobs are at-will jobs here, so being fired for quitting has no legal protection, and they can fire you right away if they so choose, and you can't do anything about.
@@isaiahgeorge906 in the US, being fired means usually you qualify for unemployment. In much of the rest of the world it means some form of severance instead
@@isaiahgeorge906 I work in an at will state. If you get fired you are eligible for unemployment, which they have to pay for
Worked at a tech call center, spent all week logging into and fixing a customer's router by writing scripts, etc. Boss calls me into his office. I think to congratulate me. Nope, he yells at me for taking too long and I'm not supposed to fix it, just log it and pass along to the repair team. I get back to my desk, call the next customer and immediately start getting yelled at for something someone else did. I hung up on them, put my head in my hands shaking for 15 minutes or so, packed up my stuff and walked out, never looking back. I now drive a truck 70-80 hrs/wk, make 3-4 times as much and WAY happier.
Was an overnight cleaner for a chicken nugget/strip/patty plant. One day off every 3 weeks, insanely hard labor in a dangerous work environment. Finally quit after 3 months when they told us we weren't getting any holidays off, and that anyone who wasn't at work on those holidays were as good as fired. 3/4 of the plant, including myself, quit.
Cleaning for a 24hour gym, cleaned 5 nights a week. Would get a call every Tuesday being accused of not doing my job properly... when my last shift is a Saturday. I had to start taking photos proving I was doing my work as the managers couldn't figure out that between midnight and 8am when staff come in, facilities are obviously being used. Final straw was actually this week, Tuesday boss called and told me he went in Friday night and the gym was a state, told him this is bs as he has the photos showing the work id done and why didn't he say so Saturday if that was the case? Asked him when exactly he went in and turns out he was lying as the time he said I was still in the gym. Told him as such and called him out for lying, also turns out he hadn't had staff cleaning on a Sunday and Monday and was basically letting me take the fall for his failings. I just said "yknow what? I'm out. You can pick my fob up from the gym as I'm dropping it off and not coming back. Good luck finding a replacement tonight" and hung up. Walked into the gym, dropped the keys into the managers hand and was like "im out". When they clocked what was happening they panicked and were telling me it was no big deal and we can move past it. I laughed and said "not a chance" and explained exactly why I was done. Left them standing there wondering how they were going to get a cleaner.
It may seem really simple and stupid but I take a lot of pride in my cleaning and had a second job anyway, I was only staying as a favour as I knew they didn't have the staff to replace me. I didn't need the job and definitely didn't need the abuse
Cleaning people that do a good job and take pride in their work are highly underrated. If I had a business and my cleaner was good they’d have one if the highest paying salaries at my business because you guys do the work most people don’t wanna do. Power to you
I Feel this. At mu current job which is a shitty restaurant gig I went in early and was in a good mood. So I did a bunch of cleaning for the girls who were on the shift before me to lighten the load. I proceed to clean counters, and the machines when my manager screams at me and starts to chastise me for not wearing a headset. I explain I wasn't on the clock and had just cleaned a bunch for her and her response was to roll her eyes and say mhmm and walk away. She the has the gall to talk to me later and wonder how she can't keep people.
Quit my job without thinking when my manager verbally berated me for being 2 mins "late" to my shift. I was scheduled for 6:30am, and got there at 6:28am after a perfect week of showing up 15 min before scheduled start. I had the time to take my bag off and put my work shoes on and check in. Yet she screamed at me for being "late" then got the assistant manager to join in. After telling me to just go home for the day as punishment, I told them to take the rest if my shifts and shove it
Sounds like you worked at Amazon

Oh Fuck i used to work at timmies. Favoritism, nepotism and politics are so fuckin toxic. That the manager would promote her favorite employees give her employees sundays off bow down to their every demand. Yet theres me working hard attending college wanting sunday off for homework manager goes " nah its based off of senority ". Would pull that line regularly anytime she cut my hours for asking if i could get sunday off for homework yet she gave it to her employees cause she can. One time she said "i put the schedule into the computer and the computer makes the schedule" when complaining about hours. And much much more THANK GOD. I do not work there anymore.
Local restaurant was hiring. I applied on a whim and got the job instantly. First day I saw a cockroach scuttle by. Then I found out only my boss and one person spoke English and my Spanish is bad. No one cleaned the deli slicer after using it. They had the day's trash blocking one of the only exits.
The final hit came from them having me use dull knives for the three days I was there. HELL. NO.
I work at a security company in 2016 from June to December. I’m from Chicago, so a lot of events were happening from summer into winter. I took notice that the higher up and full guards treated us part timers like we were jokes, never kept track of our breaks, and were never direct with what they wanted you to do. Also, how getting hours would work was a pain in the ass. The company will send out a text for a specific location/event and you would have to reply if you can work it or not. I always replied because they gave me the worse hours imaginable. Plus, the pay period was biweekly, so imagine working 4 hours and waiting 2 weeks for 40 bucks. And if there was a holiday the pay week, then you have to wait 3 weeks. I left my last event on Christmas Eve of 2016 and never came back.
Now that I have you up to speed, here’s why I quit that shitshow of a company. I was working a bears game that Christmas Eve and the company had a strict rule on what type of clothing to wear. I had a bulls hat on and I was gonna take it off inside the stadium because it was freezing outside. As I walked, I heard yell until I turned around to see a higher up gesture me to take my hat off. I said “ok when I get inside”. I took two steps and was met with more yells. I replied “I just told you I was gonna take it off inside. Do you not feel the cold out here?” I took one more step and one grabbed my shoulder and said take the hat off as if he was gonna get physical if I didn’t. I smacked his hand off me, took the hat off, spit on the ground next to him, and proceeded to walk in the building. At the end of my shift, I grabbed my stuff and never looked back.
TMTR: Security company as a shitshow with power drunk higher ups. They treated no one with respect and nearly got physical with me on the last day.
You should of just whupped his ass if ge did that. Power tripping egos are a down fall of any job. Good thing ypu left when you did.
My last job fired my dad after nearly 30 yrs of service just because they didn’t want to admit fault that they didn’t listen to a white man. Long story short: it’s a casino, they are racist there, an employee stole nearly $500,000, blamed my dad instead of admitting they didn’t listen to him and if they did they would have caught the theft at the very beginning. Tho I had to put in my 2 weeks because I had nearly 200 hrs of PTO saved but others immediately quit or put their notices in. Now the casino is struggling and continues being dumbasses causing more ppl to leave.😂
Had been working at a factory. Supervisor had me doing 7 different jobs by myself. Management was actively making things harder by refusing to let us have the right tools. Final straw came when job number required me to start running back and forth between rooms all day
Just recently did this. And I honestly hope my boss is watching and reading the comments. I kept being promised things like being made trainer, getting a raise, then a whole new position then he "forgot" that he promised all these things and kept giving them to his FRIEND who was hired way after I was. Then all of the sudden I was getting complaints of how I wasn't doing my job correctly, and he even forgot he promised me a day off when my MIL was in town and called me a different position in the company that what I was and demanded I come into work on the day off he gave me. Luckily I have a new job. I blocked everyone's numbers and I haven't looked back, this was all just from Sunday that I quit.
That kind of sounds like Starbucks. Starbucks working environment sucks. I never worked there, but that’s what I heard.
promises are worthless
get it in writing, signed and dated on company letter head
Sounds sooo familiar 🤔......I've had that happen. Congrats on the new job and yeah, frick them lol.
I was sick with shingles, like really sick, developed high fever, felt out of it and I developed rash all over my back and trunk. My manager shows up during shift and screams at me to go home. The witch tried to accuse me of being drugged up, then tried to have me go through a disciplinary hearing. I quit otherwise I would have gone savage on her, I just know I'd have gone freaking nuts 🤪
When I had shingles, it wasn't an itch, it felt more like I'd been run over by an NFL linebacker. Pain meds only helped a bit--2 hydrocodone every six hours, and you know that they don't last six hours--five, maybe. You wind up pacing back and forth in the kitchen at 3 a.m. waiting until 4 a.m. rolls around so that you can take your next dose of pain meds. Not fun.
Try this one on for size: working as a cashier at a convenience store (soul sucking job already). Was held up at gunpoint one night for the register contents. Yes, I had been dropping 20s in the safe. But I had "too many" 10s in the register and got chewed out for that. Then they decided that it must be an "inside job" (that I was in cahoots with the guy who stuck a loaded revolver in front of my nose). Luckily for me this dude had also knocked over a place 30 miles up the road. So the police did not see me as a suspect, but the stinking manager and her district manager treated me like dirt and blamed me for a $154 robbery. I was stressed and furious over the incident already, but far from any sympathy/commiseration/counseling, I was told to NOT associate with the other employees and to not talk to them about the incident in any way. So I told the manager that I was DONE. I needed the money, badly, in a bad economy but my mental health was at stake. I swore that day that I'd never be that desperate again, and moved away from that area nearly 30 years ago. Been doing well the past 25.
only 2 jobs I quit without warning were both hostile, one manager treated everyone like slaves and the other one kept calling me racial slurs
is the first manager british
Had my appendix removed had asked for the week off to recover, my boss said "no" I said "bye then" and never went back.
the appendix is a useless body part that explodes
I went in at 9am like I was scheduled.
Found the pm person in my station and was told to come back at 4pm. I was upset but did as I was told. Reluctantly came back at 4pm to find nothing done and a mountain of work in my station. Apparently the pm chick just came in to hang out with the manager & left everything for me to do...
So I clocked out and went home.✌🏽
I did this a few months ago. I was passed up for my raise 5x, I carried a heavy workload that did not match my pay and found out I was the lowest person in my team. After I was promised my raise and was told I was an exceptional employee by my boss, she submitted my raise as basic (meaning I get nothing). I told her I am taking my basic self out of this company.
My parents got divorced when I was 4 years old. Because of this my holidays were packed. Thanksgiving with Mom meant Christmas with Dad, etc. In high school I started working at a movie theater. I know they are open on holidays. My mother didn’t. When I told her that I had to work at least one of the holidays my mother brought me in with a note saying I quit. The manager really needed people, so he made an agreement with her that I didn’t have to work holidays. I continued working. You can guess what happened. I began that job right around Halloween. Two weeks later the schedule came out and I was on Wednesday night, all day Thanksgiving, and all day Black Friday. I was supposed to be with my Dad - who lived a two hour drive away. My mother called the manager, who told her that it was out of his hands no matter what he had agreed to. She called his boss. My father called his boss. Nothing. I was about to quit when my Dad had an idea. I went to work the Wednesday night. After the shift my dad showed up and said (in front of the manager) that we had to go because we were driving 5 hours to my grandmother’s place upstate. The manager started to yell. You don’t yell at me in front of my dad if I haven’t done anything wrong. My dad got really quiet, told me to change out of my uniform and come back. While I was in the bathroom I heard my manager yelling and then it abruptly stopped. I came out, saw the manager’s face go white, and he wouldn’t look at me. My dad quietly said “you just quit”. I nodded and left with dad. 20 years later Dad still won’t tell me what he said. I think there’s a good chance he could have been arrested, so I dropped it. I really want to know.
At my last job, I was shown a new landscaping technique to use for the trees of this one site we worked at. I was then told "have this whole area done by the time I get back." Being already exhausted (since this was at the end of the day), and having literally just learned this technique less than five minutes ago, I get about 75% to 80% of the way done by the time the boss gets back.
He then told me that he felt I was intentionally sandbagging to round out the day and that if it was a private job instead of a county job, I'd have been fired for slowness.
Only a few days after that I had a crying breakdown early one shift from the stress. A few more days and I finally handed in my two weeks notice.
Absolutely ridiculous!!! My parents both work at a landscaping company and this kind of crap wouldn't fly--you can't expect that much work at the end of a day and right after learning a new skill. I'm impressed by how much you say you got done! By the end of the day, most crews are just trying to wrap up and not leave a mess. Forget about getting a significant about of the job completed!
@@theladyfausta it was a smaller portion of the site, but still.
I think he said it to motivate me to work faster. It just motivated me to look for a new job.
2 problems:
First: After your breakdown, you should straight out quit.
Second: never give a 2 weeks notice. They can fire you immediately, without any notice. Why should you give them notice?
@@RealGateGuardian
1: I did quit.
2: I needed money
3: I used the time to search for a new job.
4: I've moved halfway across the country to pursue my current job

The one with the medium size cup really got me laughing.
I literally had a buddy walk out buck naked when he got fired because company wanted uniform back he shook his balls at the manager
@@jasonhuibers2315 WOW LMAO, I hope he didn't get a lawsuit or arrested for that. Hilarious though....I knew someone when I worked w him at red lobster. And somehow as the salad bar was right in front of the seating area. Stuck his in one persons salad.....I wouldn't have let them eat it but he told me after the shift. This was about 18 years ago.
Yeah Id love to have been there.

The director of the preschool got in a snit because either the family of the child either has money, or she is connected to the family personally. THAT kind of reaction only comes from fear or personal offense.
First internship I had during Uni. Got hired by a guy offering me a very decent pay for a part-time job, which was basically doing absolutely nothing all afternoon while listening to him swearing loudly and saying all kinds of misogynistic and just plain gross things the whole time (I sound like a prude, I'm not, let's just say a bunch of sailors would feel embarrassed around him). He completely ignored and looked down on me and treated his business partner like shit. He would even take work trips and not let me know, locking me out of the office on a rainy, cold day (more than once), and when I got back home, he called me yelling and swearing that I wasn't being paid for skipping. I just stayed around for the pay, really. Until one Friday, around the time to leave, he stopped me at the door by calling me like you would call a farm animal; I turned around, already super aggravated by this, and then he said "won't you clean up the restroom?". The restroom was absolutely disgusting, all peed over, smelled like death and he had turned down a professional cleaner that afternoon, saying he didn't need that. I told him to fuck off and never looked back.
I have an diverticulitis, an intestinal thing where your intestines have little pockets that can get inflamed and infected, and abscess it's very dangerous and could kill me if I don't get a flair up looked at when Im symptomatic. The symptoms fucking suck, tons of lower abdominal pain that's unbreable, fevers and throwing up. Well I worked at a Dollar General a few months ago as a manager, I woke up on a Monday feeling like I might be starting to have a flair up because I was in some pain that morning, no vomiting yet but I felt like it, so I go into work anyway cause I needed to work. Well I get over half way through my closing shift and have to call my store manager. I was throwing up off and on all shift in so much pain I couldn't breathe, to see if we could close early so I could go to the ER, she finally let me know 15 minutes before closing but said I still had to do all the closing duties cause she was an hour and half away at her boyfriends, but not to worry about it being right because she'd figure it out in the morning. So I did all the closing stuff, locked the store at almost 11, and drove to the closest ER. Didn't get home till 3 am so I didn't bother texting her what the Dr said. I texted her when I woke back up from the pain killer they gave me and told her. She texted me back hours later saying that since I get sick a lot I need to think about stepping down as a manager, that she needs someone more dependable. That she wouldn't cut my pay, the 8.75$ an hour I was getting as a manager btw, but I would take a cut in my hours because we had three other cashier's I already couldn't live off the pay I was getting. I had come in covered for people pulled countless doubles and came in sick so many times when I should have been in bed resting. I didn't text her back but when I went back to work Friday I talked to her and she was admit about me stepping down. I told her "Sorry but I worked to hard to be manager, and I'm not stepping down, I'm not taking a pay cut..." But then she said she wasn't cutting my pay I said "but my hours will get cut. I can't make it already there's no way I can make it with an hours cut. I feel like I'm being punished for having something I can't control when you haven't asked the other manager who called out a lot recently because she is pregnant and having problems early on to step down. So this is my last shift." She told me she wouldn't and couldn't give me a good recommendation because I quit, I said "that's fine At three when I leave I won't be back." I worked my opening shift told that manager who I was actually friends with bye and left. Never looked back. I had another job by Monday. I don't regret it at all. Dollar general is toxic as hell place to work for. They demand so much of so little staff, for shitty pay, if anyone ever thinks about that as a job when you have other options DO NOT!
I get those flare ups quite often and it's excruciating. Glad you ended up with a different job, and hopefully it's much better than Dollar General.
I am so sorry you had to suffer with such a shitty manager and with such a condition. You are totally justified in my eyes for leaving, and pretty patient to actually tell her you were leaving for an ER visit: I would have just walked out. Anything serious enough for the ER is a “do first, explain later” in my opinion!
7:36 Where i'm from, that's BEYOND a serious healthcode violation, I would've called the states food and health department and told them to do a suprise inspection on the dishwasher, they would put tape around the whole kitchen that very same day in such a case.
I had a whole post typed out and UA-cam ate it. So here's the TL;DR:
Call Center for general public IT. The company kept requiring impossible metrics and would roadblock us from reaching them. They would break or take away our tools, making the job unnecessarily harder. Unless you were fucking Call Center Superman, you were "underperforming" and would be denied bonuses and department changes. Our department would be forced to take on the responsibilities of other departments when they got shut down and we never received proper training. And on a personal level, my team leader had been training me to take her place, but when she left, the company blocked the move and put in some inexperienced brown-noser. He was so bad at running the team, several employees (myself included) quit. I didn't have a backup plan, I just wanted out.
There's a positive end to the story, though. Wound up finding a job within the week. Held it for a few years before COVID shut the world down.
I was a shift manager at a fast food restaurant. Got a fracture in my hand, it was my dominant hand. So when I'm counting the safe, writing the schedule, anything that has to do with writing things down, I'm inevitably slower because, you know, I'm not used to writing with my left hand. My manager told me I needed to move faster because they wouldn't pay me for the time it was taking me to do my after shift duties. I told her that my hand was literally broken and she told me that it wasn't that bad. I didn't quit, and I took so much crap from that place.
Doing sheet metal as an apprentice, I was threatened with physical violence after also having been sexually assaulted…grabbed my tools and left.
I didn’t rage quit, accepted a new job and gave two weeks, but I made the most of it by making my crappy assistant manager as miserable as he made me for the past 6 months… he still doesn’t understand how waxing floors works from what I’ve been told
@ the flower shop guy: they cant steal a portion of your paycheck for any reason
any alleged damage to a car (customer or not) cannot be taken from your pay, that is a separate civil matter that the car owner (or their insurance) will have to with you personally.

Worked at Target for a year. I really enjoyed it, but I was berated by multiple managers and sent home early my last few weeks. Couldn’t return to work because it was too much for me. I never worked as hard as I did at Target.
I was told by management when to come into work the next day as I had just started a week ago or so at a certain Australianstyle steakhouse in the US. When I walked in I the head manager/owner was having a staff meeting. Yelled at me for interrupting it by opening the doors when I walked in and said he would fire me. I tried explaining his manager told me when to arrive and he responded with "you should have shown up 30 minutes before your shift to be at this meeting!" In front of everyone mind you. So I reminded him that his manager told me the exact time to show up and didn't mention the meeting. I walked out and omw to the gym stopped at a store to get a drink. Was offered a job on the spot by the new owner paying way better and less stress...no more messing w food or rude people...took the job. Was a good day!
I was a security guard my post was a vehicle gate so we would be outside my partner went on break which I didn't mind (we had a hour break) 2 hours and 45 minutes later he returns it was pouring rain and very busy most of the time he was gone he smiled and said "you're turn but be quick we will be busy soon" I couldn't help but get the biggest shit eating grin I could muster yeah sure buddy I ended up leaving and going to work for the corporate office
Imagine being so pissed someone left that you kill a goose with a shovel
I was sexually assaulted on the job. The manager defended the assailant's actions. F wholefoods
The pet store one makes me angry. If you aren’t gonna give a shit about the animals you shouldn’t own one or work at a place that sells/otherwise deals with them.
That story at 17:50 either indicates that even the quitter's underpants were company-issued, or he was freeballing
Had a supervisor that quit because someone else got promoted. He basically soiled any chance of coming back.
Work is quieter now
Is it legal for an employer to say "You only quit when I say you can?"
nope. you can quit but depending on your contract you have to give in your resignation like for example a 2weeks notice before the date that u quit if u wanna get out of the place bad u don’t have to keep going back in however u just won’t be paid for those 2 weeks
I left a job I'd been at for 5 years because my mental health had took a deep nosedive, kept getting told that I could get promoted but never got the chance (found my cv ripped up in the bin at one point which was against company policy as they were supposed to be shredded - you could still see my number and part of my address on it)
I started a new job 6 months ago after being out of work for nearly a month and love it
Glad that preschool is shut down. Like, teachers are first reporters for child abuse. It's the damn law.
Worked at wal mart for about 2 months kept getting rushed to finish truck so I can help stock, one day my boss came into the meat freezer and wanted to berade me for not finishing on the time he gave me so I could help the meat department stock shelf's. I told him that I get paid by the hour and my job title was unloader not stocker. He decided to punish me by not having anyone unload trucks on my days off and back me up then come and whine about how there was 3 days worth of back stock and I was still going the same pace. Final straw was when I was unloading the truck and needed a dolly I was told to just take one from the main floor. 2 minutes later I have an employee curse me out for taking his dolly, instead of beating his ass I went to the manager who told me he had more important things to do wich I replied with: you certainly do, you have 3 days worth of back stock in the truck to label and rotate douces. Fuck Walmart.

So I was working at a job at a grocery store we got a new boss that was a BIT** …So one day she says “ don’t you ever get anything done…Soni went to the back and the skit from the Chappell show came in my head when Charlie Murphy was slapped by Rick James and he was saying about his gangsta side …So I walked up to her in front of like 6 customers and told her to eat A D*** and walked out…So they called me and said HR wanted to talk to me..So they said it was sexual harassment and I told her no it’s not I told her to “eat a D*** not to eat MY d***” the HR ladies jaw dropped and I get walked out !!
In 2012 on the hottest day of the year in Melbourne Australia (46°celcius 114.8°f) I as asked as waitstaff to wear a green and gold clown wig (unofficial national colours) an cover my face in zinc face paint to celebrate Australia Day. This was in the middle of the city with nothing but concrete heat island around me while in the peak rush serving burgers to thankless suited arseholes who acted like being on the other side of the counter meant I was basically their temporary slave. I cracked it when someone said the ice tasted wrong and threw their water at me when I had been made to work through my break and not allowed to get water. Store had no aircon and most people were outside in the laneway. I went straight to the manager quit on spot in front of customers, he said "how can you do this to me!", I left, got train home and went and bought a slab of beer and played guitar drunk all night. Two weeks later I had better work for more pay in an air conditioned call centre. Fuckem.

As in: “found two comedians drowned in their habitat”! 😂
i got out of public service work and im so glad i did. im not working under managers that look down on me as if im a 5 year old. the pay was bad for the work i was doing. im getting paid quite a bit more now at my new job

im betting there would be a drastic rise in criminal cases occurring if law enforcement had to read these reddits. the amount of shet thats posted in here with the replies "you need to speak to a lawyer" really shows how much easier it would be to get arrests doing this instead of other things.

About the pregnant woman at work, documwnt everything and being to EEOC office. It is illegal to discriminate against pregnant women and women in general .
I'm so petty it didn't even take much; my boss left the job site under the management of the military liaison officer who had me stop doing my job and spend half a day building a wooden replica of our Bobcat bucket.
I finished it, equipped it onto the Bobcat's forklift and dropped it off inside the garbage bin on my way to my car, left the keys in the Bobcat (it was still on-site) and never went back.
Reflecting back: my bosses deserved better, but it was such a big-dick power move that I don't regret it.
So we were working 11 hour days and 8 hour saturdays in a factory that was over 100 degrees in the summer time. Half the time the OT wasnt needed and we would stand around doing nothing. So i went to my boss and he says not changing and then i go to HR amd say these hours are to much and he says well its what you signed up for. I broughty 2 week notice in the next day and told them im working 8 hours till i leave. Over a year later and i hear they are still doing OT. Dont get me wrong i dont mind OT but not OT that lasts forever.
A few things: One I like how the dude bros clearly brought the broken window on themselves and acted as if something like that (retaliation and a broken window in their car) couldn't or wouldn't happen if they did crap like throw a frosty at someone. Secondly I like hpw in a lot of these stories the boss acts like a total asshole and them tries to tell the person who quits that they "aren't allowed to" as if the person quitting is gonna be like, *sigh* You're right, I guess im just gonna go back to taking your abuse. Maybe another time I'll quit :/
Broke my ankle at work, while I was getting an X-ray done my supervisor, without telling me, went to my house and took my assigned work vehicle (which would have been fine if he’d told me) then disposed of all my personal belongings in the van, took it to get professionally cleaned, tried to charge me $400 (Australian dollars) and refused to even admit I had anything in the van to begin with. (They even got rid of my tools).
The only job I ever quit on the spot was working at a Starbucks in an airport. I was just tired of being the opener, wanted to quit because upper management kept misgendering me despite me gently reminding the guy every day, and we were also so understaffed that often it was only me and one other person working. I texted my boss asking for his email so I could officially send a formal notice, give proper two weeks and all that, and he said it was just his first and last name, but I didn't know his last name so I immediately asked him to just give me his email address. He did not for over 4 hours, so I said fuck it and just texted him that I quit effective immediately. They tried to guilt me into staying for two weeks and that just made me dig my heels in, since I realized these were not people I wanted to work for even a second longer.
All told nothing was seriously wrong with the place, things were up to code and done well, I was just treated poorly and knew I deserved better. Ended up getting a job at a Dunkin Donuts and was one of their star employees, even my manager there was always happy to see me because my being there made the whole operation run better.
Andrew from McDonalds is my favorite.
Colleague told me he quit on the spot right after he came back from 2 weeks vacation, the boss tried to use him as a scapegoat for something that happend during the 2 weeks that colleague had NOTHING to do with.
I don't really understand the 'No not running in the parking lot' rule story.
ooof. ok so i was listening, and not reading. and when the text to speech robot sounded like it said "when women are pregnant in their colon" i burst out loud laughing lol
Most of the time I'm like "is that some American horror story I'm too German to understand?"
These stories make me so glad I work for the government
That McDonald's story was hilarious, but I REALLY hope there were no kids around...
It was my birthday and even though it was approved for me to take the day off.I came in just to help but I told my boss that I would be receiving several calls because all of my siblings were coming to my house for dinner, The first call I took I was up two and a half Stories on a ladder and my boss came over and kicked my ladder and told me to get the hell off the phone, So I took my 2 gallon bucket full of paint and threw it off the ladder behind me, Exploding all over the homeowner's house, patio furniture and patio, And then I told him to clean it up because I quit. He screamed and yelled and cussed and Almost hit
me but I just walked to my truck and drove home.
@1:05 If you spit on me or put your hands on me while I am just doing my job...
You will be waking up from the coma right about the time I am finishing my prison sentence.
I think about quitting every day I clock in.
If I say “I quit” and you fire me anyway, you better believe I’m coming after you for that unemployment check!
You shut off my pink floyd I would quit also.
So your money was being stolen and you stayed? Then she shows up to your house and again you did nothing? Oh ok
These people sound young and not knowledgeable about work laws.
@@jjohnsengraciesmom cause politicians keep it that way
I hope mine doesn't make me go off, I'm ticking to count down ready to go off at work, 12hour shift 6 days a week cause of the number, I came in 10min late couple weeks ago just waiting for them to pull me into the office, I'll tell them, 3 option, that they don't wanna hear, might even give my boss a stroke or heart attack, sick off it
I damn well hope that preschool shut down
I had the exact same experience when I worked at a big box pet store. Never work in a pet store if you are a fan of animals. They are dens of misery and suffering.
I'm taking a break from child abuse informational training and the first thing is hear is...
Can we get an F in the chat for the goose that took the L so OP could move on
Worked as a janitor, and my supervisor was super anal about making sure everything was clean
I had cleaned a room and he still found something that wasnt clean
Walked TF out and didnt look back!
The first one and I'm already disgusted
THE LIGHT SUBSCRIBE BAR ITS 2 IN THE MORNING GAHHHHHHHHHHHHĤ
1:05 this guy would not have walked out of that rental place under his own power after he spit on me, they would need a stretcher after i knocked all his teeth out.
I don't get why everyone doesn't want to work holidays. I get paid 3x the usual hourly rate. I work every holiday and then take the following 3 days off. Same paycheck....
The main reason is usually they have friends and family they want to spend time with, and those friends/family may already have the actual holidays off, so trying to spend the not-holiday days with them to celebrate could prove difficult.
Trying to make me sit I a stip mall under construction in February for 3+ hours with 3 large bags of gear until my medic partner came into work.
Norway, or well a lot of European countries, have MONTHS of paid parental leave, for both the dad and the mom x)
These bosses really do suck

Andrews mcdonald story reminds me of a story when i worked at tim hortons. One day a guy had enough of his female manager when she was about to fire him he goes NO I QUIT strips naked and runs away. Manager ran to her office.

"Seems like companies show their true colors when women are pregnant"
Someone seems to forget that companies are not charities and pregnancy is not a disease.
17:65 wtf that was good
10:00 Way to continue the cycle of "reasons" to cut innocent boys....
Shot!
