Christian's Bad Hair Day (Judgies Podcast Ep 92)

[@laneyspencer3394]

i am so scared to watch this as a fan of both bo burnham and erika

[@T0adz]

A similar graduation incident happened to my mom. She worked at Walmart and they wanted her to skip her high school graduation for work. She ended up quitting right there and then.

[@TheJudgiesPodcast]

Good on your mom!

[@SabrinaRina]

The nerve to demand someone not celebrate an achievement that likely enables them to stop working for them. Nah, proritize Walmart.

[@heatherv3417]

That happened with me when I worked at Kmart too. They wouldn’t grant my high school graduation off lol I quit too

[@marthajackson1388]

It's not the job but the manager. I worked while attending school. My manager changes my schedule in accordance to my class attendance and he always gave me days off when I had to study for a test. On the other hand when I wasn't going to school, I will work extra days and come in when I was being called on my days off to cover for a call in.

[@Nancy-xg9nc]

Have a feeling manager never went to college....

[@MariMotherofGoblins]

That woman spent way more money on her cap and gown for graduation than the coworker spent on concert tickets.

[@sammyj7235]

I’ll just say this… I’ve never put in a 2 week notice cause every boss who I’ve worked for was exactly like this and my career has never been affected.

[@MountainPearls]

I bet they figured you were going to leave anyway soon-since you were graduating high school-so they did it to try and get you to quit instead of firing you…so they don’t have to pay unemployment.

[@rileynatalie]

@@MountainPearlsI’ve had this happen to me. In GA it’s a right-to-work state so they can terminate u for any reason, but after 6mos u qualify for unemployment. I complained to 3 different managers abt harassment at work from two different employees. I wasn’t the only one either. Nothing was done. I was still scheduled to work w the person who couldn’t keep their hands to themselves. I couldn’t tolerate it any more & I exploded one day. I was too embarrassed to go back, but I felt them for weeks slowly pushing me away. Taking the good shifts away, putting me in slow sections, being cold, etc. I wish I would’ve pushed the issue but I was just so done w the situation overall & I wanted close the door on that part of my life just to move on.

[@Celinemoonstone]

Same. I give 24 hours IF that.

[@LordElja]

​@@rileynatalieRight To Work has to do with having the right to work at a union place without joining the union. You're thinking of At-will employment.

[@wy100101]

The reality is notice is earned, and that guy didn't earn it. That guy sounds like the type that is furious when he realizes "at will work" cuts both ways. I've always given notice, but I wouldn't for this clown.

[@irick3000]

6 years and still lowest seniority, yet "best" employee? He had the audacity to chastise her on professionalism without reflecting on the idea that your best employee is the lowest on the senior totem pole after six years, maybe it is your bad management that is "unprofessional"

[@mscptizzy]

I started covering ppls shifts all the time. When i wanted to get it in return soem wouldn't even answer me. I just quit. My peace is worth more than the job!

[@Hyper_Fox06]

It's unfortunately all too common for the hardest working most knowledgeable workers to be trapped at the bottom because they are too competent to be "replaced/promoted" it's backfired badly on every company I've ever worked with that behaved in that way. It always ended with that essential employee quitting and in one instance starting a federal investigation of illegal mistreatment of a disabled employee

[@knight2976able]

Seniority is based on time at a job not how well you do your job . Let's you joined your job a yr ago but another guy been there 5 yrs . You may be better at the job than 5 guy but in some companies that doesn't matter

[@i-love-comountains3850]

​​@@knight2976able Okay but we're not talking about a 1st year, but nice try to suck up to bad management. Your manager must love your indentured servant mentality. We're talking about a 6th year, who is spending her own money and time to go to college while still becoming the best employee by far. Never missed a single day. Lowest on the pole. Certainly the company can spare two even unpaid hours but by God certainly that employee had earned 2hrs PTO by then. Atrocious manager, and you stick up for that nonsense? Take a hike...

[@battlionyoutube6306]

if someone is their best employee then letting them have two hours for their graduation is well worth it, if you can't accommodate that then you don't want to retain your best employees.

[@Dugie555]

I can’t even fathom the type of thinking of this type of narcissistic general manager. This is the perfect example of why you should NEVER give your soul to a company. This is why employee loyalty doesn’t exist anymore. P.S.- I’ve been an ASM; when there’s no coverage it’s your responsibility.

[@RiverRatHawk]

it was worse on the ask the manager page. the employee had been in foster care and also dealt with being homeless for a period too and the manager knew that.

[@Dugie555]

@@RiverRatHawk my lord, that’s bad.

[@deathjester916]

I was a manager for a shop in the mall years ago. I never worked Sundays because my gf at the time and I always went to church and taught sunday school. One of my employees who ran the store every Sunday needed the day off. What did I do? I planned ahead, got my class covered (my gf was out of town for a bit) and told her her I'd work it for her because I TAKE CARE OF MY PEOPLE! Only thing that sucked was a couple buddies and I partied the night before and I worked the entire shift hungover. Thankfully a friend running a shop across from me did the same and shared her big ass bag of pretzels with me to help keep it down. Oh to be 21 again.

[@dmarsh2k9]

so refused to let her go to her college graduation, but allowed someone to go to a concert "because they already bought the tickets" FML. The pure entitlement from this boss is unreal!

[@crazyt1483]

I agree with the employee it’s also unprofessional to expect you’re employees not to have a life outside of work. If this was so important that you had to make an extra day for it you domino that extra day or sprinkle the work out over the following days

[@Bellsbear64]

"Go to person for weekends and holidays" good lord... worse and worse

[@bigmgo]

I managed a liquor store for about 2 years and I asked my owner if I can have Labor Day weekend off because I had a youth group event for a long weekend where I would be 2 hours away and staying at a hotel. He told me “just make sure it’s covered” I said ok so and so is going to cover and I’m going to do Monday on the holiday. Saturday came and the other guy never showed and said he quit and my owner said i needed to come back ASAP or i was fired. I said ok then good luck finding someone whose goin got cover 60 hours a week. He called me 5 days later asking if i wanted to come back and he gave me a raise 😂🤣😂

[@zammymynakersnackstbmoth]

What did you do??

[@ryanmac3134]

10:47 the fact this boss has to write in with this nonsense? Who the heck does that? And the fact the manager thinks she’s the one at fault just tells you what you need to know about this.

[@rikardottosson1272]

In real life, outside of the US - it’s the job of the manager to plan, lead and distribute work. You don’t have to find replacement because you’re sick one day et cetera.

[@julianovitski6556]

The way I said no you're kidding out loud about the college graduation story when you brought up the concert tickets

[@justaperson8385]

9:02 your best employee has the lowest rank

[@Dravkwn]

I like how they feel they need to reach out and try to put them down by telling them that what they did was unprofessional.

[@smilesfordays]

@@Dravkwnclearly it was a man baby who didn’t get his balls fondled hard enough. I’m sure he’s done well scamming others during the NFT boom.

[@JaZZiO30]

I had a somewhat similar experience. My boss wouldn't let me go to court to see my brothers adoption day ... one day I'll never be able to get back unfortunately (mind you my parents were in the adoption process for a good 12+ painfull years) My boss knew how much it meant for me to be there and he didn't care.

[@nicoleist]

Took a part time job, told the boss I could only work part time hours because I was a full time student in my last semester of college and had two young children’s schedules to balance (ex husband worked an hour away and couldn’t help much during the day). The two weeks before finals she scheduled me 40 hours.. I went to her and explained myself again why I could only work part time hours. She basically said tough it out, we are short handed. I quit 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was planning on working a few more months but the complete disregard tipped the scale for me.

[@elizabethw4481]

ERIKA GOT THE ULTIMATE INTERRUPTION IN THIS EPISODE AND IM FUMING.

[@noahreep5901]

That was awesome sprite loved the listener submitted sound sound

[@auntyyoohoo5481]

Boss should've covered for her. HOW about all the graduation fees... and cap/gown. Want to reach out? She is so much better off. Too bad she had to go back there.

[@hikaru100kaoru]

I had a similar graduation issue where it was on a weekend and I worked every weekend they wanted me to switch weekends with someone despite the fact I worked every weekend. So I told them I will no longer do every weekend and switched weekends but my last day was the day before my graduation

[@thotimusprimeofficial273]

the wilderness program one… i remember reading a list of children that have died from programs like that. It was so so long.

[@whovo3059]

Yeah as an Outdoor Rec professional did some quick digging into the program and what I read made my blood boil.

[@gavin8981]

i totally agree with erika on the last story 100% I heard so much bad stuff about those places.

[@CamDollar]

[@Shad0w5carab]

24:31 why did Josh go full goblin mode? That was last weeks podcast

[@Softieeee]

i just researched Red Cliff Ascent, which was the wilderness camp in the last story. That mother is the actual worst person in the entire world. she sent her son in as a normal teen boy, and she will pick up a broken- both mentally and physically- young man. he will likely come back very ill or beaten bc they deny medical aid. i'm truly sick to my stomach after reading stories from survivors

[@starhwas]

She was the go to person for holidays and weekends and covered/did overtime for her coworkers a lot and STILL couldn’t be granted a 2 hr extension?? Insane, especially considering that she did not even ask for the whole day, just two measly hours to graduate.

[@christking85]

lowest seniority having to work pretty much means no one will volunteer.

[@theresataylor1565]

I'd take being fired, unemployment would surely be on my side and I'd be collecting while looking for a new job.

[@leahhart3585]

Good for the employee.

[@branflakes523]

Didn't have a graduation incident but I did have a similar experience when I was invited to a close cousin's wedding. I thought I had it all planned out, and once I knew the day I requested it off like months in advance and talked about it to every coworker. Then the week of the wedding, my stupid manager put my name on that day. I was pissed and asked why and said that I requested it off in advance and he just gave me lame excuses. Literally wanted to quit then but luckily I got a coworker to work my shift.

[@awarren06]

Things have changed so much in the work arena so much

[@LotharOfTheHillPeople]

How are you pooping once per week? That's not good dude. You gotta get some probiotics or something.

[@Crystal_Dylan]

I once worked at a Dunkin Donuts largely as a closer. It was a bit of a revolving door location with new hires almost monthly I think besides the store manager I was the only employee on closing that consistently worked there for the 15 months I was there. They were generally very accommodating giving me time off for a wedding I was going to and my little brother’s high school graduation. Of course at the time I didn’t have much better to do besides some college work that I was efficient in getting done but after a while I needed to leave because they couldn’t accommodate my requests for less days during college semesters. That was probably the best job I’ve had yet in term of how nice they were about accommodating special life events. It is sad that isn’t a universal experience

I have a rule If I like my job and especially like my co-workers/boss I will do the notice etc as needed to help them But if it's just another soul sucking company I'll just quit on the spot

[@getcomfortable3373]

If you get fired you have to leave then and there, Boss' do not ask you to work 2 weeks grace period. You quitting and working a notice period is not required it's a courtesy. You are paid for the time worked regardless.
