When I was almost fired for being assaulted by a customer....yes. He knocked me down and they said "You're on probation for the next 6 months!"

[@nicholasnguyen5181]

It makes a little sense Big Mac, but yeah, that’s not right

[@Jennythecatgirl]

Sorry… what?? That’s ridiculous!!

[@zangryomani1257]

How do you even arrive at that conclusion!?

When I asked for a raise, for the first time after being there 5 years. My boss’s reply, “This company doesn’t give raises.”

[@dogofwar6769]

This wasn't a job, but it happened when I was in like middle school. Every year the school would send us home with this catalog of random fancy snacks and told us that the best seller would get some random prize. Been long enough that I don't even remember what the prize was, but I remember wanted it enough that I put my all into it and raised over like a grand in sales, which was unheard of. But the day of the assembly where they announced the winners the father of the riches kids decided to personally buy 10$ than I was able to sell because, for some reason, he wanted his own kids to feel accomplished.

[@dogofwar6769]

@@detox_jpeg From what I remember the kids were kind of entitled jerks. But their father was also hyper focused on making sure they succeed no matter what. I moved schools not long after that, but I also remember as a teenager hearing that one of the sons of that father caught a vehicular manslaughter charge from a car crash while street racing. Think the father also burned his fortune trying to keep the kid out of jail, but ultimately failed in that.

[@LegendStormcrow]

And this is why I never tried for school. Boys Scouts yes, but I cared for them.

[@wightmamba]

When my manager who was from the same school as me left and we haven't had a stable leadership since, that was 4 years ago.

[@Magavynhigara]

We were folded into another company. At half their size we were producing 8x more than their beat area was to the point one of our customers, who is 77% of our revenue, wanted all product done througb our specific location because of how good our product was. This pissed off the owners so much we were berated for'lowering the companies reputation and image by creating unrealistic expectaions' and told to stop. This was trip downhill that made me hate the company.

[@Imstevenow]

My deployment killed my passion for my job. I no longer wanted to be in the Infantry.

[@TheTSense]

I was a trainee given a task way above my ability, just because we were that understaffed. 13 hours later, 5 of which unpaid and undocumented, 11pm, I was yelled at for not fixing it faster. I am still impresses I did it at all. I am in charge now and if this comes up, they give up after 2 weeks

[@thesheassheis]

When I heard my consultant boss reassuring clients that sht will get done. The confidence, tone, calmness and knowledgeability in which he addressed the clients despite the fact that we were not exactly organized enough to carry out the deliverables. He used this calmness, tone and confidence when speaking to us the staff, so many promises and nothing came to fruition for the two years he's made those promises to us the staff, that's when I lost all passion. Especially when I realized that I don't exactly have enough knowledge from working here when I want to start my Master's. I'm applying for some other place now. I'm 24, I need to get a job that'll get me ahead professionally and academically and enable me to save.

[@Tignya]

I had some minor things happen in the past with the gossip train, but what really got me so upset I decided to quit was when I made a joke about not getting paid enough to care about some dumb gift card sale(my numbers were always poor, but I did a lot of the stuff other coworkers didn't want to do) because we're all paid minimum wage. This apparently got back to the GM who then lambasted me for not being a "team member" and how other people in other states are paid less yet still performing on top. I was so pissed, and that was when I decided I'd quit as soon as I went back to school. Half a year later, and my blood still boils that someone took my joke as a real statement and told the GM. I'm jobless right now and the spring semester just got out, but I really don't wanna go back.

You can’t even get an app at Applebees for 10$

[@XericLvl]

Used to work for a souvenir store at a mall. Got a final notice for headphone use from the new manager. The new manager didn't like me ever since the owners of the store wanted to retrain her for having a lot of voided purchases on the register. Her son was the drink stocker and didn't like that I didn't help him put up drinks due to me having customers and making room to accommodate the extra stock. Found out recently that a lot of the employees there all quit or got fired after she became a manager.

[@baddadjoker9570]

When I had to call a congressman to get leave to go to my own wedding after a year long deployment. A lot to the story, but I was in a career mindset in the army. From that point for the next 2 years I just coasted.

[@rosalindsongsmith3670]

I was on the phone with a friend just a few days ago and he was stopping to get some gas. He randomly made the comment, “oh man. I don’t envy those three. They work for a telemarketing company. “When I asked him how the hell he knew that his response was, “because they’ve all got the blank faces and the dead eyes. “ I couldn’t help but laugh and ended up replying with “well, that job will do it right there. “

[@LegendStormcrow]

Could be meat packers. I had to drop off my old neighbor a few times at Tyson. I thought I worked the most depressed job (high sewer slide rates.) Seeing them changed that. The telemarketers I used to know were full of rainbows by comparison.

[@Stuffyim]

It wasn't really a bad experience, but when my boss sent out a announcement saying they were assessing our work and changing our hours accordingly and my hours dropped to one 6 hour shift a week (I was 16 so I only had 1-2 shifts already but I would usually get more during the holidays) I realised I wasn't doing well in that job and the rest of my passion for the job vanished. I still put in the same effort, but I planned to quit a few weeks after that.

Imagine if the viewers never even had a job

[@randomdude4360]

Imagine if these comments never had a job 😂

[@LegendStormcrow]

I understood losing my raise for having 1 "needs improvement," even if it was BS, but losing it AND 2 consecutive Christmas bonuses? It took my months to even figure out the first Christmas bonus being missing, and when I finally did I was told that not only did I lose it, but also one nearly a full YEAR AND A HALF after the performance review, just because they wanted to. To make it worse, not only had I fixed my work speed months before the before the bonus, and I only took that long to get fast because they were counting my cross training time on another machine towards what I actually use. They had me cross train before I ever even regular trained! I was jacked for 2 years because I didn't get fast with 2 large dangerous machines in a short amount of time.

[@nicholasnguyen5181]

I almost quit when it was only me and my manager running the seafood restaurant I worked at. Gals I stayed because it improved a bunch! Least till Covid and I was fired… . Darn.

[@heypatk]

It amazes me the misconceptions that are presented. People lawyer up over wage theft and win. Also Federal trade commission takes a dim view of retaliation and wage theft. If you have no money we are not allowed to deny care.

[@aidenbooksmith2351]

When I discovered that all the work I did for my students and all the material and curriculum I developed (without any sort of coordination) did not actually matter because my students are kids who care more about their stupid jokes than my education

[@tylerbartlett28]

I know it's a newer anime but akira tendo from zom100 bucket lost of the dead would've been the perfect anime character to put as the thumbnail. If you do another video like this in the future I recommend him

[@mztweety1374]

Chrome people constantly putting fingerprints on my glass… people there’s a door knob….use it!

[@teresafinch7790]

I don't think I ever had any passion for any job. I worked for money some jobs were okay some were not. My last job before retirement was okay because it was in a business park by a creek, so before work and in my lunch break I took loads of photos.

Hello

[@janisbentzen4503]

None of you would make it in nursing.

[@LegendStormcrow]

I used to work in a prison, so I might have been able to, but no way I could do it now.

[@Jroobelucios]

Waw

[@eddybowe2953]

face it working for a company in the states sucks. You can be the best and if they don't like you, you're going to get crapped on.
