I threw the biggest meltdown I've seen at my job. I work in the dairy department of a supermarket. My position is "evening reliever" so I work from roughly 4-9 pm usually completely by myself and my job is to just make sure eggs, milk, bread, and sale items are full for the morning, to fix up the department and to pick up any slack left by the day crew. Well about two years ago the two day guys (one of whom is technically my supervisor) realized that I would pick up any of the slack they left and started taking advantage of me. One day they left me with roughly 400 cases of stock from that day's 750 case delivery, told management they got done early and both left 2 hours early. When I saw what I had to do, I lost it and had a complete meltdown. Thankfully our store manager is wonderful. He talked me out of quitting, told me NOT to do any of the stock that had been left by the day crew, and he let me sit in the breakroom until I calmed down. He also gave the two day guys write ups for the stunt they pulled.

Thank goodness the manager was supportive and compassionate 👍, I really do NOT understand why some people think it’s okay to take advantage of someone’s efforts to go above and beyond. I sure hope those two learned an important lesson.

They never pulled anything like that on me again and both were gone within five months of that incident. My "supervisor" left for a different job and the other guy got fired

I'm more okay with regurgitating content than I am with him reading people who have absolutely no idea how to tell a story. Which is what he seems to be doing recently.

That's a more than understandable meltdown. A Many of the meltdowns in this video are people blowing up over little nothings, or just being assholes. When someone intentionally leaves you 3-5x more work than you usually have, you deserve to have a meltdown and freak out. I'm glad your boss understood

One time at my first job, my supervisor (who had BPD), started having a major meltdown and started smashing things around; she ended up breaking our printer. It was really scary because not only were she and I the only ones there, but she was also my ride home. Granted, I didn't live far; but it was still pretty concerning

Honestly, with story 3- Yeah. I’ve worked with people in that kind of work that try to pull crap like that. Trying to get out of work they don’t like, or taking a “smoke break” at the worst possible time. I don’t have a problem with people that need that, but trying to use that right when a rush comes in is the biggest dick move. AFTERWARD, go for it. But for a rush, it’s all hands on deck.

My mom is a first grade teacher at a prestigious private elementary and middle school in my area. I actually attended for a year when I was in kindergarten, (I’m college age now) but that’s a story for a different time. One of the substitute teachers is the kind of guy who is generally a really happy and cheery dude, even though he doesn’t follow the teaching instruction when he is needed in a class. Recently, some problems have been happening in his life, his wife is mentally unwell and one of his kids is developmentally delayed, he turned to alcohol to cope. My mom said it was like seeing the downfall of a man. He started coming into work absolutely hammered which is a huge no in any professional setting, let alone a school. My mother suspected he snuck alcohol into the school so he could get drunk while the kids were out at recess. She decided to tell me about what was happening the day the kids were lined up outside the room waiting for them to let him in. When the janitor opened the classroom door, this man was passed out on the carpet in the center of the room. I don’t know for sure if he was fired, but knowing the tight-laced head of school, so one can assume… Edit: I have since found out he was fired, but he is now going to rehab to get his shit together. I have never met him, but I am proud of him for taking that step forward and getting help he clearly needed.

I’ll be honest. About twenty years ago, I had a massive meltdown at work. It was pretty much a nervous breakdown. I was 22 or 23. I’d started PT n a department and the boss randomly moved out of state like two months later. They then hired a new boss who turned out to be lying about her qualifications. She asked me the first day how to turn on her computer. We worked a data entry position. So she got fired and they said they’d create a position for me and pay me to get the masters degree I needed to hold the current position. I was a hard worker and they were desperate. So all went well and I thought I was the shit. Then I came back from a conference, was brought into a meeting, and told I was on 30 day notice of being fired. They gave me a list of improvements to make in those thirty days. I worked SO HARD. I cleared everything with everyone, double checked steps, etc. I stopped sleeping well. I missed a friend’s wedding. I was on edge constantly because I was doing my best and still getting randomly called in for new things I’d done wrong or things I’d supposedly said. I got news from my folks that a family pet was sick. Then that day I got called in for another, “Oh, here’s a new rule you’re not following,” meeting. I was on no sleep, weeks of strain, sad about the cat, and I just snapped. I don’t remember everything. I just know I went back to my desk and sobbed hysterically while, unfortunately, cussing like a sailor. Not proud of that AT ALL, but I swear it wasn’t a conscious decision. Turns out the original boss who had moved out of state had returned and wanted her old job back. They rehired her before officially firing me. She moved again within a year.
