not mass firing, but mass quitting. Already wrote this story on another such video. My company got new management, which decided to fire 25% of the people. Our former CEO informed all the workers. 195/200 people quit basicly on the same day. A new company was formed with all the same workers. Within a year we had back something like 90% of our old clients.

[@c.s1393]

Was there no non-compete clause?

[@thetute59]

@@c.s1393 There was, but this wasnt the 'big' problem and was well in the grey area IIRC. Since all the workers left the company they simply couldnt fulfill their legally binding contracts anymore. So the clients legally ended contracts (because non-fulfillment) and had to make the first step towards the new company. Its not allowed to activly 'grab' your old clients, but if they have very good legal ground to end a contract and want to work with you again, its not against the law. Otherwise it would often cause problems if a guy switches companies. I just read that one year ago a lot of the people in charge for this operation have been given a (final?) sentence (either financial punishment or literal prison-time), actually for other reasons.

Had a 40 hours/week contract, from my 4th week on I was expected to do 60, sometimes even 80 hours. Unlike stated in my contract I was not compensated for any overtime hours. Confronting my manager about it he only said "yeah, I'll work on it" - and for another month: nada. Stopped doing overtime after the third month of not getting paid - was told to "work on my conduct" by my boss - or he would be forced to terminate the contract. I told my boss to "fuck off, let's just cut this short!" - printed my letter of Resign, signed it, copied it, shoved one copy onto my Boss, then slammed into the Owner's office who was in the midst of a meeting with an important customer - dropped the letter on his desk, told him that I expected him to at least have the dignity to honour our contract and pay what he owed me - then left. I was still on the Parking Lot when I saw the delegation of our Customer coming out. One of them saw and approached me, told me they terminated the meeting as well as all Business relations because according to their Policy a company that doesn't even honour Contracts with its own employees is not to be conducted business with - because if they can't honour these small, simple work contracts how are they supposed to honour larger, complicated ones? Met one of my former co-workers last week. Turned out 15 other people quit after me for the same reasons. Multiple lawsuits are in preparation with the estimated costs being so high the Company is likely to not survive through it. The Head Accountant who also quit leaked this information on his last day in Office some months ago - resulting in another 10 people quitting.

One of my old acquaintances (let's call him Theo) was an assistant manager at a local chain of restaurants. He enjoyed the work, and he had built solid rapport with the entire staff there, so they were all a pretty tight-knit group when they were at work. The restaurant manager at his location had quit, so the owner hired some lady off the street (we'll call her Bitch Lady) who was in her mid- to late-20s. The first day they worked together, she walked up to him as he introduced himself and she said "Hi. I hear you're the only one here who knows the closing and opening procedures, so you're going to be opening and closing every day for the next six weeks." He just looks at her and replies "Those are 16-hour shifts. That's 112 hours a week. There's no way I can do that." She simply says "I don't care. You're going to do it." then turns around and walks away. He strongly contemplates quitting, but he didn't want the rest of his crew to suffer without him and he didn't want them all to have to find new jobs, so he decides to tough it out. This gives him practically no time to run errands for basic living while also getting an adequate amount of sleep, but he figures that he'll catch up on all that once the restaurant has a fully functioning management team again. But Bitch Lady didn't make an effort to learn any of the restaurant procedures or get much of any work done, instead leaving Theo to run most of the restaurant by himself while she locked herself in the office "performing manager duties." A little over a week later, Theo returns from his lunch break (i.e. his 30 minute car nap) to find that two of his closing servers weren't there for their shifts. He knew that they both took the same bus line to get to work, so he texts one of them to ask if they missed the bus. Server responds with "Nah man, Bitch Lady fired us for being late because our bus was 5 minutes behind schedule." Theo storms into the manager's office to find Bitch Lady on her phone, and demands to know why she fired them. "They were two of our best workers! Why in the hell would you fire them?" "They were late for their shifts. That's unacceptable." "The bus they take to get here was running 5 minutes late. That's not their fault!" "I don't care." So Theo decides that he's had enough. He walks through the restaurant, informing all of his coworkers of his decision to quit, and every single one of them follows. Bitch Lady begins to throw a fit, saying "But who's going to run the restaurant??" Theo simply tells her, "You can figure it out. That's not our problem anymore." and everyone files out the door. Theo messages the owner, detailing everything that happened, and for the next couple weeks, there's a handwritten sign on the door of the restaurant saying "Sorry, this location is temporarily closed." But then Theo gets a call from the owner, who proceeds to say (and I'm paraphrasing here) "So I looked into everything that happened, got into contact with multiple people, and came to the decision to terminate Bitch Lady's employment. I'm sorry that you and everyone else had to put up with her; she seems competent and reliable when I interviewed her. Now that she's gone, I'm hoping to hire you and everyone else back, if that's okay with you all. And also, if you're willing to accept it, I would like to make you the new restaurant manager at that location." As far as I know, he's still managing that restaurant, and he hasn't had to put up with any more bullshit bosses!

[@isrealsalinas7477]

I never make it to these threads in time but boi oh boi do I have a good one. I worked in a prison, like a literal prison. Our first Lieutenant was a kind, fatherly type man who was all business. He would come in an hour early (5:00 a.m) would work our 12 hour shift, and then stay WAY longer than scheduled to make sure his and the 2nd lieutenant's (lazy sob woman) paperwork was completed properly. 2nd lieutenant was never on time with her paperwork and often wouldn't do it at all, knowing 1st lieutenant would cover it. When asked why he did this, often staying all the way until midnight / 1 a.m only to come back at 5:00 a.m, he responded "so my work can be recognized, plus I don't want to get phone calls on my days off." The day comes where a beloved captain was set to retire and the warden was taking applications from the lieutenants for the opening captains position. 1st Lieutenant would make a great captain, all the staff agreed, even going so much as applauding him when he announced he turned in his application. Announcements are made that 2nd lieutenant Lazy sob woman will be the new captain. In her first address to the shifts, she thanked them for their support and then railed against all Lieutenants stating "I refuse to stay late. All of you lieutenants had better be doing your work. That goes to you as well 1st Lieutenant." Needless to say we were pissed. Half the shift stood up and walked out of the little dinner. From that point on all of the old guard, old school officers, refused to come into work, getting doctors excuses that would last them indefinitely, and having the sick hours to still get paid. until the sob captain was fired, she refused to get properly searched before entering the facility because her rank was too important (this a huge no no, the president of the u.s could step at that gate and would not be allowed in without a search). Turns out she was friends with the warden's wife and thus connected her way to the position, not counting the old guard that would call in until she was fired, we lost an additional quarter of our shift and several in other shifts due to her piss poor leadership. The agency is still struggling with employment shortages some 3 years later after I left.

Similar story though the ending is sad - my country has those special exams for certain public positions, written and oral. A teacher of mine (when he was young) comes to the capital to take his, goes into the waiting room to find a Dude bragging about how he's got it in the pocket. A few hours later my teacher enters exam room, and as he proceeds with it all he notices glances and gesture that say "we wish we could be fair but our hands are tied". Turns out through God knows which connections that bragging Dude got the job regardless of how his oral exam would go. Gee, I wonder how lacking in the values and consciousness department one has to be to cheat so blatantly and still brag... Anyway my teacher didn't have to reapply for the same position next year, iirc he took the exam for another one.

When I was a few months out of high school I was looking for my first job when a friend of my sister got me a dishwashing position at a local coffee shop/ bar (they had the coffee station at the front of the store and a big dinning room behind it.) It was a fairly ok job but the people there were really cool and fun to talk to which was great since I had very few friends at the time and after a while my manager asks me if I wanted to move up to better position. I told her that I wanted to move up to being a barista which really surprised them since I was an overweight 6'4" guy with the natural demeanor of an edgy teenager, but to my surprise she went through with it and I was training within the week. I really enjoyed my new position, but after a while both of the dishwashers we had quit very close to each other and being the naive yet helpful kid I was, volunteered to be a dishwasher until they could get a replacement. A week goes by and we get a new dishwasher so now I can go back to my barista job with only a few days as dishwasher. A few weeks after that though I had noticed that they had scheduled me for both barista and dishwasher during the same hours. I brought this up with one of the managers and they told me that it wasn't a mistake and I was supposed to work both stations at the same time making no extra money. The manager apologized and told me that it was the owners that made the schedule. I was already working about 30+ hours a week not including college but now I was working 40+ with no breaks, no days off and days usually ran from 2pm until 1 in the morning because of the giant pile of dishes. I managed to endure it for a week until I finally saw one of the owners there and told them that I can't work both at the same time to which she told me that the schedule wasn't changing and I'd just have to deal with it. I raised hell talking with my coworkers and after talking with them for a while decided to put in my two weeks notice at the start of next week. Monday comes around and I noticed that I wasn't on the schedule but went along with my day like normal only to see someone I had never seen before behind the counter. I asked them politely when they started and they said they were starting today and my mind immediately jumped to replacement. The next day I get a call from my manager and in the most depressed I've ever heard her, told me that I was fired. A couple weeks pass and I've calmed down for the most part and decide to go over to my old job to get a coffee and see how my old coworkers were doing. I walk in and see one of the barista there and start talking them. She proceeds to tell me only 3 of the 30+ people working there were staying and that today was her last day. I have never laughed harder in my entire life at the thought they had gotten exactly what they deserved. To this day I still see a help wanted sign on the front door when I drive past and I get a grin every time I see it. I'm sorry if this was a long story but I felt like I wanted to share.

When I worked at Domino's we had like 1/3 of our staff quit within 2 weeks because we were basically forced to sign new contracts. They hyped everyone up with promises of a pay raise. It was actually a big pay cut. A pay cut. In 2018. For already low paid workers. I don't know if this came from Domino's Australia corporate, or if this was just the franchise owner being a tight-ass. But that is shady AF. I sometimes had to choose between food and fuel for my car so I could work. Sometimes I didn't eat unless it was a canceled order and I was on close shift. Technically, that's theft and it has to get thrown into the garbage, but fuck that. I wasn't going to work in a kitchen and starve while food got wasted. Corporate policy be damned. Sometimes, depending on who was managing, I'd get to make my own pizza for free to take home. In the end, I was getting more money from unemployment than I was working my ass off doing split/close shifts. Fuck Domino's. I've worked there twice, and I'll kill myself before I go back to that company.

[@azuregriffin1116]

Fair enough.

[@Predated2]

When I worked at Domino's, I worked there for 7 years with very little complaints at all, except the last months. I got 2 official warnings in the first year, one because I downloaded the wrong schedule and happened to be scheduled in on a day I never worked normally, fine, my bad. Second one was me having partied a bit too much and being pretty much K.O. for 36 hours, absolutely unable to wake up. Both were definitely on me, but the fucked up part is that both those warnings happened in the first year I worked there and they were valid for maximum 5 years unless revoked by a manager. Anyway, after 6,5 years of working, 5,5 years after the second warning, I wanted to work more during the week, as I only worked in the weekends, which never happened, so I started getting a bit agitated, then I tried getting free on days where close family had their bday, which should be easy considering 90% of employees could get a day or 2 off every other week due to us having enough employees to cover shifts. Yet for some reason, my requests were always denied. The good old "just because it's requested doesn't mean it's granted", as if they needed me specifically on the weekends, but if I went on a 3 week vacation there suddenly was no issue. Fine, whatever. Then later my mom got terminally ill, I didn't share too many details, but my grandpa was a bit of a local celebrity, so people knew things weren't okay. So I asked free in one of those days to visit my mom while there was someone to help us and her with all the financial stuff that would follow after her death, I signed that date first, 3 months prior to actually having to go, considering they followed the "first come, first serve" policy when it came to non-vacation free days, I would definitely get replaced. The schedule came, and I was on there. I wasn't surprised at the time, untill I saw that 2 other people, who were always working on that day, were free somehow. So I called and asked why they got free and I didn't. Turned out they were also both part of a tennis club and their teammate was in the finals of a tournament. So they were unscheduled to be part of an audience, while I was still on schedule even though they knew why I asked to be free. So I asked why I didn't get it even though I was first on the list for months. They gave the old "it's requested, not granted" bs. I just hung up the phone, ignored my phone when it came to work and stayed home the entire week, then send them an email about how their request for my work wasn't granted by me and got a "we need to talk" message from my boss. Turns out that he changed the rule of the expiration date for official warnings, because my absence cost him over a thousand euros alone(note, I used to be the top driver and if people wanted their food fast, they requested me specifically, so hearing I refused to work for "some reason" made them not order at all, hell, thanks to me and 3 others we were even in the top 5 national stores), he reinstated my old official warnings just so he could give me a third one. I told him that I was gonna mention that to the higher ups and then said I quit. Fast forward 2 years, and the store is no longer a top 5 store. Its not even a top 50 store. A lot of people always said "If Predated gets fired, then I'll quit". Appearantly this never reached the managers, as they proudly said that I got fired and used my "unreasonable behaviour" as an example. 5 people left the store within a week, as they knew they were bullshitting. 1 month later, my mom died, which made even more employees realize what happened and either left or at least started slacking at work. It's sad tbh, the store used to get 1000€+ in profits daily(me knowing that as a "regular" driver kinda shows how well most shiftrunners trusted me) and had an average delivery time of 15 minutes, nowadays, they are lucky to get 500€ daily and have an average time 25 mins

Former roaming Dunkin Donuts manager 6+ years on the field. 20+ locations in the north eastern area. My job was to train new managers/assistant managers or help evaluate and provide guidance to management when a store wasn't up to company standards. One specific location had a problem with cash shortages in the daily deposit and in each shift. So I took it upon myself to check all the camera footage and all the daily logs, ordering and refund for an entire month to see if it was just a clerical error or if maybe some employees were stealing from their or other registers not signed to them. After I had collected my results I had a sit down with the current manager and assistant manager to discuss what I had found. I showed them footage of EVERY EMPLOYEE taking $10 with multiple angles, freeze frame and drawer transaction history everyday that month. The response was "we told them that then can cash tips in change for dollars at the end of their shift". I had to explain to them that when they allow such thing to happen unsupervised situations like this could happen. I have no problem with them cashing in tips, but the rule of thumb is always to have someone else with the person (usually management) to oversee. So I wrote up everyone including management. So as an "F U" the entire staff and management quit that Friday. However they failed to acknowledge my dedication to my job at the time and felt that it would paint me as the villian and I'd get fired and they'd all get their jobs back. My response was to explain to the franchisee that for the weekend we would have to close while I restaff and train. He told me I had two days. Challenge accepted. Saturday morning I made roughly 50 call for 16 positions and set up 24 interviews with mostly people with prior experience but not all. I had asked if a short notice interview was acceptable most agreed (no experience) some did not but agreed to come in Sunday morning. The store still closed I had done a group interview in the afternoon with the applicants. 12 showed up and I began to evaluate with a "mock" daily scenario. The experienced ones got the hang of it quickly and I spent extra time with the newbies. At the end of the day I had 8 hires and the others I told they can reapply in a few weeks if they were still interested. Sunday same thing with "mock" day and hired 8 more. Monday, I show up at 3am to bake because I was nervous about the bakers and wanted to make sure the muffins and bagels were made on time. They showed up and really impressed me so I let them do their thing while I made up a chart for who will go to which position and who I felt like would be good to stick with a less experienced employee. As the day went on I followed up with everyone to make sure they were knowledgeable about the process and felt comfortable with the pace of the store most were fine some were overwhelmed but I had them switch with others to fight against stress and high tensions. I also stayed until closed to show/teach the closers how to properly close the store for a night (10pm). I did this for a week and felt comfortable enough with the crew to tell corporate to send me management hopefuls and trained them the same. We cleaned every machine. I showed the management how every machine worked, how to take it apart and how to clean/ assemble once cleaning was done. Fast forward a month I was there only to observe and guide if people had questions. We went from being dead last in the district to top 5 of 16. While this was all going on ex employees that quit would come by often and were stunned that I had gotten the store in order so quickly from having no employees to being full staffed in less than a week (not including management). I worked 3am to 10:30pm (closing should only take 30mins if done right) for a month. I got a huge bonus and took 2weeks off before the next store was assigned to me. Thank you for your time.

About 4 years ago now, I worked for a massive telecommunications outsourcing company and we had a major client who contracted us for customer support. Our staff was made up of about 200-300 employees including management staff. Some people complained about certain ways the company treated us but the client was so good to us that it balanced out and overall the pay was great and we enjoyed our work, save for a few bad eggs. One of these bad eggs decided it would be a good idea to violate the NDA by recording footage of the office on his cell phone camera (the client had a strict no cell phone policy as well as an ironclad NDA). Another bad egg was horrifyingly rude to customers and other employees on a daily basis. The client was fed up with these people and told our operations managers to fire them, who h they promptly did, but then the bad eggs went to our company's HR to complain, and since their HR felt the termination was wrongful due to no violation of the company's rules even if they massively pissed off the client. This led to the site manager and operations managers scheming to have these employees have their job back but be out on paid leave until they can figure out how to hide their employment status from the client. They wanted to save their asses because HR would've came down on them if they had listened to the client instead of the company's HR team. Client got wind of the fact that these employees were still employees and decided not to renew the contract, and all ~300 lost their jobs, to which a few people were either moved to different contracts within that company while everyone else said fuck it and left. I have yet to find a job that treated me as well or paid as well since then. A couple of months passed and at my new job, I heard from my supervisor who was also a supervisor at that previous company had mentioned to me that the site manager had taken over a contract for a different high profile client and screwed up almost the exact same way, but this time he didn't walk away unscathed. Serves him fucking right.

A common labor tactic of 3rd tier auto suppliers - especially those working with plastics - is to "bank" overtime instead of paying it. So if you end up with less than a 40 hour work week, you could use those hours to bring your paycheck back to 40. There are several problems here. First it's a federal law that overtime is paid time and a half (150% of base pay). So the company was swapping 1.5x for 1x pay. Second, all this was done without official records... so there's no proof that such overtime existed. All "official" books show 40 hours and never an hour more. So a company would regularly make banked hours disappear and you would have to fight them for it. Which brings you to the attention of management. Once they know you as a fighter, they would like to get rid of you. Any excuse will do. And once you are fired, laid off, quit, for any reason - you lose ALL "banked" hours. This happens all the time in and around 150 miles of Detroit. Unions and OSHA are primarily interested in 1st and 2nd tier suppliers. So nobody really watches these smaller producers. And they pretty much ride roughshod over all their employees.

I have one. My dad works as an IT guy and used to specialize in some form of customer service and worked with clients a lot. He was basically at the top of the food chain, anything someone else did not want to do came to him. He had been working at that position for years with the same pay, and not long ago, he gave up. He asked his boss for raises multiple times, but never got them. Finally, he quit and his boss pleaded for him to come back. And when that didn't work, an avalanche happened. Multiple other top guys decided they waited too long for a raise of any sort and quit. The company is still up, but it will take a while to recover from that.

New Female SM replaced him, total dumbass, but she wanted to show she meant business so she fired me over a trifle (one of my employees forgot to save some beans in a pan one night and it had to be thrown out the next morning... total loss ~ 5 bucks). Staring at her dumbfounded I said are you kidding me? to which she replied yes... told her how Fing dumb she was, and threw my hat in her face. 3 people left with me on the walk out leaving just one person and her for lunch rush.

One of my coworkers was livid today because the new supervisor (she has been there less than 2 months but acts like she knows everything) was trying to refuse to give a customer 10% off a piece of furniture that had minor damage. The supervisor was trying to convince the customer that there was no damage and the customer was getting very annoyed. My coworker, we'll call her Abby, steps in and agrees that there is some minor damage (and it's policy to appease a customer you just give them 10% off, it could be a small dent and if they request it, you give it to them, it's not worth fighting over it.) In this case it was like $25 off, which in the grand scale of retail that's nothing, and can cost more than $25 if the customer has a bad experience and doesn't come back. Fast forward a couple hours and the supervisor then damages out a few hundred dollars worth of stock that did not need to be damaged, not yet at least. Long story short, it didn't need to be damaged for another 3 months. Sure we wouldn't sell all of it, but if you throw a clearance sticker on it, a good chunk of it would have sold. Abby saw what the supervisor was doing and told her 1. It didn't need to be damaged and 2. The store manager was aware of it and was expecting the item to just be reduced. The supervisor basically told Abby she was wrong and proceeded to throw it out and destroy it. Abby couldn't believe that this supervisor completely ignored her and threw away at least $600 in stock right after trying to deny a customer $25.

I am about to quit my job over some similar shady shit. The company I work for was bought out. Now I started as a Tier 1 about 8 years ago and worked my way up. Upon the buy out, I was promoted to systems administrator but still designated Tier 2. I have loads of job duties (audits, abuse department, network engineering and even some marketing/billing support). With my promotion came ZERO pay raise. I am ticked BUT, my annual review is now 4 months late (delayed due to the buy-out being hammered out) and so I start pushing for this to be done. The new company is supposedly treating their employees better than the old. For being a sys-admin, you are expected to be on-call 24/7. Yeah, my cell phone stops working for some reason when I go off-shift. I am hoping to hear about that raise this week...

Where I work, corporate recently did a consolidation or restructure, something of that nature but I forget what fluff word they actually used. They cut out about 150 manager positions across the company. Some of them were high up in the chain too, most of the had no idea this was even coming. Our store lost one manager so we went from 3 to 2 for the day shift. They put a hold on hiring any new managers for the time being and only supervisors can be hired. So basically these supervisors do manager work at less pay. I wouldn't call it a mass quit because it's happened over time, but about 1/3 of the long time staff have quit at this point and this decision happened at the beginning of the year. They were being paid the same and got so many extra responsibilities. I don't know about the overnights, but ALL of the supervisors are new hires right now because the old ones quit, and one of the two managers quit. He said the job became too stressful and was beginning to affect his health. We are down to one manager who is suppose to come in daily at this point. If she goes on vacation they need to send another manager over from another store for the duration of her vacation. I've loved this job for years, but right now it's becoming quite chaotic. No one is filling in the shoes of the people who left, things aren't getting done, and all of the new supervisors act like they're top dog.

Should be a reasonable wage to begin with. Probably my biggest concern about ever visiting the USA is dealing with tips and after sales tax- taxes are almost always included in the price in Aus by law (with exceptions such as stamp duty on houses). Pizza drivers, waiters, and taxi drivers do not expect tips when simply performing their job (although not entirely uncommon- normally it's a simple "keep the change").

[@mrloafers79]

@Roderick storey it is a shitty system where jobs like that pay way less than minimum wage. I work at a pizza chain, just today I had a customer call in asking about a medium 3 topping, I told her it would be 14 something with tax and was promptly met with, " Yeah, no." I didnt even have time to tell her sorry we couldn't help her before she hung up. Living with a mentality that you can get good quality food for insanely cheap prices ( like a 5 dollar pizza) is a bane to the market.

[@napalm3899]

@Roderick storey The standard for waitstaff starts at 15%. If you're really pleased with their service you can always give more. Waitstaff here in the US have been trying to peddle the "oh but you should tip 20%" line for a few years now. I only give 20% (or maybe sometimes more) to regular bartenders and servers that I see often and that treat me well.

[@asphodelale]

@Roderick storey Easiest way to figure out the tip: drop a decimal point off the main bill, and double the result. For example, the tip on a $23 bill would be $2.30 x 2, or $4.60. (Pro tip: round up enough that you're not tipping in pennies in cheap places or coins in fancy ones.)

LOL, if I worked at a company where the management came out and said "there will be no bonuses or raises for software engineers because we're not a software company and it's not our main line of business", I would immediately ask if management and the executives were going to also get no bonuses or raises since they're not a management company. Then I'd quit on the spot and encourage everyone else to do the same. And yes, I realize that I am PROFOUNDLY lucky that I ended up in a profession where we can do this sort of thing since software engineers can get good jobs anywhere with no notice. It honestly feels bad at times when I see how poorly others are treated and where they put up with so much because they know if they quit it would be really difficult to find a similar or better position.

In college I stocked shelves early in the morning at a Dollar Tree. The store was horribly run by the manager and the stock supervisor could hardly put sentences together, his brain was pretty fried. Staffs from other Dollar Tree stores from the area literally had to come to our store and show our management how to do incredibly simple things like rotating stock or how to lay out the back room. They had food going bad without ever going out to the floor and there was product piled to the ceiling in the back room because everything was so inefficiently situated. This happened three times in the 2 months I worked there. On my last week before school started up again the stock supervisor and store manager got into an insanely loud fight in the front of the store. Profanities from both and a few items thrown. The stock supervisor basically quit (I don't know if he actually said 'I quit' but it was understood). The manager kept going off, even after the stock supervisor left, telling us all a bunch of confidential stuff like how a bunch of his wages were being garnished and how he shit his pants in the store more than once while going through withdraws. That night the former stock supervisor had a heart attack. He didn't die, but a day or two later word came down that he was going to sue, but that was the last info I got as an employee. A couple weeks later I went in to the store and didn't see a single face I recognized. One of the guys I worked with also worked at a restaurant that was far too fancy for me to actually eat there, but I went and got like one appetizer just so I could talk to him. Apparently, after the big blowup, the regional manager talked to the other managers who had come to help my store to figure out what to do. The only good thing they could say about out store was that it was very clean so they fired literally everyone, except the overnight cleaning crew.

123 123 most likely it was marked and they hit it. if what the post says is true. major road work jobs always have active tickets. given the size of the fiber it should have had tracer wire in it to mark. they probably didn't realize how deep the teeth were. but it wouldn't surprise me if the fiber was shallow. I'm pretty sure prior to dig safe/call before you dig one call centers etc. excavation companies had to call utility companies directly; and the utility companies would send out their own locators. which they do still have their own locators. depends on the contract in the area, or how high profile the utility is.

But the other woman wasn't going to take this sitting down... so she ALSO slept with him and video tapped it, and showed the first girl as well.

Let me tell you a story about theft, nepotism, greed. I wish i had known about this askreddit earlier I might have been able to make it into the video. Be me 18 and getting a job at a Local Sonic Drive-in. Now in Michigan there are hardly any at the time, so it was quite a popular place to go to. I started working there as a car hop, getting paid 4 dollars a hour and would make tips to cover the difference of minimal wage. Now it being a drive-in the most you were tipped was abuot the left over change if people paid with cash. There was no option on receipts to tip with your card. The owner of this franchised fast food place employed a khaldean lady who had hired her brother as a manager for a second location. the lady who shall be known as the GM hired her entirely family to work the second location. The second location was far busier than the first one and needed backup one time while i was working at #store number 1. So i put my tip cup in the safe and had asked the manager that night to lock it up in there. Traveled to the second location and worked there, it was weird and i was often yelled at because i wasn't speaking neo-arabic. But i did the best i could and survived the shift and went home that night. Next morning I went back to work at my store [#1] I opened the safe to notice my tips were gone. There was about 50 dollars in singles that I kept in my jar incase i needed to make change on the regular fast for cars and about 100$ in coins. Management did not like going into drawyers or opening safes to make change and it was much faster if we just took care of it ourselves. I checked the security camera to see the opening manager take my jar. Take out my tip money and count it on the table before pocketing it all. I called the store owner about 5 times before he answered. The owner replied with "call the gm she'll handle it". Not happy with how he talked to me i called the GM. She drove down and saw it herself, but she wasn't fired. she continued to be a manager that i had to work with for 3 months after that. During those 3 months we had a manager shortage and the GM decided to hire her cousin who had never worked in a restaurant as manager. He brought in his nephew to work at the sonic as well. he was 11. So now i have to share my tips with this 11 year old kid who isn't doing anything. We were still short on managers and i had been working here for about 8 months. Things were pretty bad and i was passed over for a management opportunity being the only person not in highschool or really bad morning cook. A second management position was passed over to a 11th grader. who was still attending highschool however would skip school to open the fast food place. Now you might be asking what else would make everyone quit. Well I found out during the winter that the GM wasn't paying minimum wages to employee's who received tips. During the entire season of winter I worked full time 42 hours a week, I made 70 dollars in tips. I called the GM demanding I get paid for lost wages. She didn't care and told me to F off. I called the owner after and he brushed me off as well. I told every employee that worked there about this that none of us were making wages that should be paid. I also got ahold of the employee records for the past 4 years and called all of them informing what has happened. Every single person quit that day. a few years later i'm working at a speedway gas station and see the same manager who had stolen from me and the general manager together getting out of a car. they came inside to pay for gas. I called them theives and told them to fuck off and get out of my store in front of a several people. They tried to pay at the pump after but I kept turning it off. Fuck you jewish brad millionaire who owned the place. Fuck you nanette stealing from me. Fuck you Gm whose name i can't remember :P

A welding shop I used to work for got new management, who immediately decided we had too many staff and announced they would be firing 30% of everyone. Although by my personal count it was more like 50%-60%. This of course meant me and everyone else who was left was getting worked into the fucking ground doing 6 day weeks and 12 hour shifts to get projects done. They then shut down the plant for a week for maintenance, but refused to pay us or allow us to take it as vacation. They then told us they were dissolving the night shift and moving everyone to day shift, meaning we got paid less. Me and about the remaining half of the welding team quit within a couple of weeks.

Our company picked up approximately 3 additional "customers" to do projects for. I work for a company that builds mass quantities of computer servers. Google, Uber, Amazon, etc. Lots of people started quitting. The workload became too much. We basically doubled, possibly tripled our work load. No raises. No promotions. No new hires. Just basically, "ok guys we got a shit ton of work, time to work overtime every single day with the added work on Saturdays." And those were forced on us. Personally, I didnt necessarily care about the extra workload cause my position requires me to mostly sit at a desk throughout the day. But a lot of my coworkers do mostly physical labor. And it was just too much for them. You expect that if your company brings in an additional millions, possibly billions of dollars, they would maybe give out better bonuses and raises. Each server we build cost approximately between $100,000 - $750,000. But nope. This has been going on for the past year and some few months. Bonuses were a joke. A mere 200 dollars and less from what some coworkers told me. No raises have been given out. Its just very poor managment. Bunch of greedy individuals.

Worked as a mental health tech at a residential treatment facility. Basically we were the people who took care of violent individuals with severe mental deficiencies. The kind of people who would cave your skull in because they forgot to go to the bathroom and soiled themselves. After our first founded allegation of abuse, these people called wolf on the daily so it was definately a major outlier, upper management decided to install camera's throughout the residences. We honestly didnt care at first. But the thing is the cameras were not finding abuse, cause there was none, instead they were being used to micromanage. Caught looking at your phone to time the laundry, write up. Left a client with another staff to aid a crisis situation, write up. Doze off for 5 minutes doing your 3rd overnight double shift in a row because management drove off all the overnight techs, you guessed it write up. Many of our most reliable staff left within a week and several left mid-shift just adding to the chaos. Within a month we went from 18 staff a shift to 5, for 2 buildings. At the end of 3 months There were only 2 regulars left on my shift and the rest were getting pulled from other units.

Essentially they fired employees to give themselves a raise. Way to steal from your community. I had to leave that place.

[@kikook222]

I wouldn't say mass quitting. But when I quit my old job 2 people left with me. There wasn't very many people there to begin with and losing 3 people was almost a fourth of the people working there. After watching the vid, my story is a bit applicable to the 'domino effect.' Me walking out of my job still has lasting effects on the business. I was one of the few people who were good at their job. The store protected the shitty employees because of favoritism and treated me like shit but always worked me because I'm a good worker and I met the quotas. When I quit that changed. Someone walked out over a petty reason and tried to come back but said no to him because when I was struggling for money because of my ill advised decision, I should have waited to find a new job first, I asked to return and they said no. To avoid a lawsuit they had to tell him he couldn't come back either, because I'd have a legitimate discrimination lawsuit against them if they did. They really liked this guy so it pissed them off he had to stay 'fired.' A girl and a guy who caused a shitload of drama there quit because the girl knew every hated her and the guy went to get a better job and he knew he'd be fired eventually by corporate (he was a manager). My friend came back from her vacation and didn't go back there because she was pissed I quit and my other friend moved to my current job until he quit this one. Two people who were dating each other moved to a different state and the only associate better at their job than me was promoted to replace the manager who quit. So my old job lost a shit load of people. The problem is, people who replaced everyone were shit at their job or quit due to the bullshit I didn't explain that the GM did (fun fact, the GM eventually got fired and escorted out by the police, so karma hit her hard).This caused a HUGE issue with my old job because they used up all their hiring tokens and couldn't hire anyone for 3 months. They essentially lost 80 percent of their staff and couldn't hire people because everyone they hired bailed because of the GM being horrible at her job. 2 years later my friend who stayed in touch with people there told me that since I left they haven't had a month where people met the quotas. I didn't cause MOST of this but causing 3 people to quit when they couldn't hire new people caused a lot of issues. The best part is if I waited it out my old job's issues would have been solved. The people who caused drama there quit, the GM got fired, and my best friends would be working with me.

It ended a few years later and a company called Versacold took over and many people said it was pinnacle of greatness and they fed the employees well. The three years ago a big company called Loblaws purchased the warehouse. Once they took over the warehouse started to suffer in productivity and started to have financial difficulties and started to undercut employees and implement Mandated overtime ( 2 hours) to get the days work done. And changed everyone from four ten hour shifts to five eight hour shifts. All the senior and most of the long time veterans quit as soon it became a daily thing.

The firm itself means well and wants to bring the future of thinking to today's world, but the low-mid level managers mess up pretty bad and mistreat their staff, hiding their tails when they do so... but it doesn't always go unnoticed... I used to know a few people in the "electrical engineering" department, but one day only saw one guy at his desk (the guy i used to chat with on the regular in that office). He told me he had resigned and it was his last day, and i asked him why. He then told me about how the management team in their unit had promised a big project was on it's way, cancelling the entire team's various secondments. All to put all their eggs in one golden basket. Too bad the basket fell apart - they weren't awarded the project they had promised their team they would get. 2 months after this, the same managers made 10 electrical engineers redundant (the legal way of letting someone 'underutilized' go. When their colleagues found out, a fair number of the already disgruntled engineers (maybe 20 at the time?) submitted their resignation within a week or so of finding out. They already had the shits they were mismanaged, but also that they had to pay the price, and management wasn't even held accountable... It all comes back though. Never had anything to do with them and eventually left the company myself. No hate for the place itself... but fuck those managers lookin' out for thmselves and their "mates" that hold everyone else back.

My current job is nearing a situation where this could happen. I started last year in January, for 10 months it was all hands on deck, it's a casual industry (99% of employees outside the office are casual, and that's 99% of the employees) but outside of quiet periods people generally work 5-7 days a week, anywhere from 4- 12 hour shifts, i'd say the average is 10 though (construction related). After those initial 10 months, the owner of the company decided he wanted an entirely new office staff, management, everything, because the company had expanded by 400% in the previous 12 months. This company had no employee recorded details regarding skills, training, attitude, work history or otherwise of their employees, (2 office people essentially managed 180 people on the road up until this point, and had njo time to write down any extra information on employees, they just knew everyone by name, and what they had been told by supervisors on the road). Along with this, they started throwing people all over the place, people who lived in, eg. Location A, would be sent to location B 100kms away, and people from location B would be sent to location A, 200kms away, just as a basic example of not having a clue. Due to this the company lost a lot of contracts and didn't have enough work to really give anyone 5 days a week anymore, (if divided equally), but still kept hiring new employees because "the industry is still growing". So the lack of hours got worse and worse, and as Christmas hit, a lot of people were getting 2 days a week, $400 on average, except a few veryu lucky back packers, who were meant to get the extra that the regulars couldn't handle, they were getting 5-7 nights a week on the most cushy jobs pulling in $2000-$3000/week. Needless to say, in the past 7 months, a large portion of the experienced team leaders have jumped ship to other companies leaving this one having to use inexperienced people to team lead jobs, causing a lot of hassle for our clients. I for example was a team leader, but they stopped giving me much work over the first 4 months of the year, so I stepped down and said I am no longer available to team lead (team leading requires a fair bit of responsibility for not much extra pay ($2/hour), but the incentive if you get regular/full weeks of work, and obviously I wasn't, so why would I bother?). I've gotten more work since I stepped down from Team Leading. At least a dozen of very experienced Team Leaders I knew well, all quit in a big huff between Jan and June. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to jump ship myself, I'm just an introvert so my social networking is rubbish and I don't just have connections in other companies in the same industry to take me on like they did. Right now, for example, there's a big shut down operation which requires 24 hours, 2x 12 hour shifts a day ($600/day), 2-3 dozen people. And they have given a lot of the work to newbies they've just recently hired, while I sit at home having barely make 1k for the week when I was used to making 2k/week average, last year." I don't expect this company to last more than 12 more months the way they're being managed atm.

I haven't seen anyone hired for a position that they were completely unqualified for, but I've seen plenty of people hired who immediately jump in and try to make changes. Whether they think their way of doing it is the best or this is how we did it at my last store so my new job has to do it the exact same way I'm used to. Realistically it's much easier for them to change than to have the entire staff change, but they don't care. My current biggest issue is with a supervisor (who tells customers that she is a manager) who will tell employees and customers in a very assertive voice that something is policy and must be done this way when it is in fact not the policy, but just how she thinks it should be run. Today for example a customer was trying to buy a piece of furniture and this supervisor got involved. The customer was interested and had a couple questions. She's about to buy it (she was already at the register asking about it) when the supervisor suddenly got very strict and asks if it will fit in her car. The customer got visibly nervous because of how forceful the supervisor had suddenly gotten. She said she was pretty sure it would fit but the supervisor said it was policy that they absolutely could not sell the furniture unless it would 100% fit in the car. This is not true. We often will hold a piece of furniture in the back for a customer, because we usually cannot order another one if we sell out. We will put items on hold or hide them in the back on a daily basis, but this supervisor hates that policy because she thinks it makes the back room too crowded. So the customer did not buy the furniture after all because she couldn't 100% guarantee that it would fit. We lost a sale because of the manager but she pats herself on the back.

[@MrGoesBoom]

@@chibikomeh That's messed up...and no way to call her out and say 'Um, that's not policy. We can sell just fine and if it doesn't fit we can hold it so she can get help to pick it up.'?

The project was $200K over budget (back when that was real money; we'd already gone through several million), and despite what managers were telling her, it wasn't anywhere close to rolling out. In its current iteration it would never roll out! Over the next few days she asked me specific questions, and I gathered the real answers. The project was shut down within two weeks, and the managers fired. Dozens of contractors lost their work, but that's how it is with contracting.
