@@stick-itproductions.3307 They're SUPPOSED to call one of those emergency HAZMAT services that can send a truck and a crew out to your location within an hour... each crew member makes anywhere from $20-$35 an hour. A flat fee for a like that would probably cost anywhere from $250-$500. Poop and human waste is serious business. Obviously "crap" employers would rather have a minimum wage staffer do it. Alternatively they can just hire a permanent janitor on staff with special training, equipment, and appropriate qualifications.

i was being bullied by a female co-worker on a constant basis. one night when said co-worker started her routine drama and bullshit i had enough and this was the day i finally stood up for myself. after i dished out some killer comeback she got all up in my face and spouted threats of violence and death. There were several witnesses and it took another employee to pull her away from me. i notified my supervisor the following morning. he pulled me into the office to "talk about it and resolve the issue." what he really did was berate me and point fingers at me. he also said that if he he had his way, he would fire my ass. my response: "if standing up for myself is going to cost me my job, then i don't want to work here anymore." i worked there for another month and a half before putting in my two weeks. i'm currently working the best job I've had in my life.

What the supervisor did is common in situations with bad "refereeing". Situations where a person has the responsibility and power to resolve disputes and appropriately punish people in said dispute. But they often either act like both parties are equally responsible and and should knock it off, or they come down hard on the retaliating/defending party, when they should look at the instigating party. In your case he came down on you although you had not retaliated (if I understand the report above correctly) I can't say why they do this. It may be because they favour the instigator, or are afraid them / unwilling to tackle them for their behaviour. Instead they attack the "softer" target, i.e. the cooperative / non-combative one. It could also be a blindspot or incompetence that can be trained out of them. You see it in contact sport like football (soccer) and ice hockey.

[@MGP2210]

My dad worked at our local state hospital as the ticket counter. You know when you go into parking, hospitals give you parking tickets to help them sort out who was there when, and for how long? Well, he counted your parking tickets and he filed them by hour, day, week, and month. Then, after 11 years of doing that, they were restructuring because then that at that time they were being bought by the local state college and my dad was one of the people who is making a fair bit of money, so he was laid off. When my dad unfortunately was dying, he went to the same hospital for regular check ups then he met his old manager and that manager said, “are you coming back Dave?!” My dad very wittingly said, “no you idiot, I’m dying.” I miss my father greatly but now 5 people do the job that he did ALONE. I still see the manager when I go for mental health reasons, he still says, “I miss your dad, we messed up getting rid of him.”

Mine is nothing compared to my boyfriends though.

You can come in and work AFTER the ceremony, THEN stay late to make up time. If you don’t you’re fired. You need us more than we need you.” He was so mad he immediately walked out because he didn’t trust himself to control his anger. Cue the next week of panicked calls because no one could cover the work shifts he’d been managing alone. Nope and F them. He also informed other friends in the same field of the story, which was widely shared. Shockingly they had trouble finding more workers to treat like crap. Ending up having to hire people who weren’t licensed and when discovered were forced to close. They even tried blowing up his cell with calls at the funeral leaving voicemails screaming about why he wasn’t at work that day. I wish I was kidding, but I asked his family for verification on all of this, and they told me he had to actually leave the funeral partway to put his phone in his car and cool off because it kept happening and he just couldn’t deal with their viciousness on top of everything else at that moment.

35:00 My dad got fired from Steak & Shake for a similar situation. Had a few shitty managers (M2), one "good" one (M1). It was a 24/7 location and he was the only one working, which would have been pretty hectic if it weren't 3:00am. He told M1 who had scheduled him for that shift that M2 hadn't showed up multiple times and that he couldn't handle the insane lack of sleep, so if he didn't show up he was closing the restaurant for the night. M1 assured him that M2 would show up. 30 minutes after, M2 still hadn't showed up, so he switched the open sign off, rang up the last customers, and properly closed the restaurant following all the proper protocols. He had tried calling M1 multiple times but they didn't answer, so he found the number for corporate and explained the situation, they said if he closed the location he would be fired no questions asked, and he was. M1 called him the next day apologizing and my dad said it was ok, mostly not his fault anyway. So now 99% of Steak and Shakes are closed across the US because of bankruptcy. They deserved it for how shitty they treated the employees, but it still sucks, they had decent food and damn good shakes. *TLDR:* Dad got fired for closing 24/7 location after manager didn't show up even after following all the proper procedures.

TL:DR - Got to boss around a manager when I was only floor staff at a theater. . Heh... When I was about 20, I worked as a concessionist at a movie theater. The supervisors seem to have had some sort of rivalry with each other, that led to them handing their keys to me when they'd go on breaks rather than to a supervisor who was "only" one of the staff that night. I guess I earned this by helping ALL of them with their end of shift counts, just so they could get out at a decent hour, too, but I liked counting. When they gave me the keys and went on break, I never lorded it over the others, but would often be doing the nastier jobs, like cleaning out EVERY speck of salt and oil from the popcorn warmers, and would pop up to ask chatting employees to wipe counters or sweep the floors, then return to one of the least desirable cleaning jobs. Cleaning the warmers was "the worst" because if you had so much as a paper cut, the salt would get into it and make you miserable. When the supervisor came back, I'd hand over the keys, tell them anything of importance that happened, and what was finished in their absence/what still needed doing. This included asking people who were also sometimes supervisors over me to pick a job and clean something, but I didn't ever ask anyone to do the nastier jobs, I took those when the supervisor left me in charge. Soon they were all choosing to leave me their keys when on break. . Then return without a sign of arrogance to "just being one of the staff" without complaint. . End of summer, fewer hours to go around. I start seeing managers working the ticket booth, as the concession supervisor (instead of the actual supervisors), and as the head usher. Whatever, not my problem, right? I just sell popcorn and soda, and clean up at the end of the night. So one night I check out who's in charge of us because I haven't seen anyone yet, and they are very, very late. See it's the only black manager on staff. Maybe he has a good reason, but not my concern. I shrug, not having spent any real time with him other than a few minutes now and then in the break room, hearing him go on about how if they ever tried to fire him, he'd go RIGHT to the NAACP (I believe I've got that right, but maybe not). Well he doesn't work for me, so I shrug this off as also Not My Problem. . This night, it became my problem. . The job of the concession supervisor is one of more responsibility, not less. You don't just tell the staff what to do, you have to keep them in supplies, for which you have KEYS. Only you. We're neck deep in customers and need more popcorn? Yup, that's the supervisor's job. More cups or bags? Well, those are kept locked up. So are additional snacks. . And he's over by the doorman's stand, tearing tickets and directing people to their theaters. Half a very large room away from us, with masses (wall to wall, no joke) people either in lines or milling to find the right line. . All summer, the rest of the staff has been trained to turn to me when the supervisor is away. He's AWOL, although within sight. All night, the others slip over to me. "C, I'm out of large cups." "C, I need more medium bags." "C, I need more (candy type)." I'd split what I had with them if it was cups or bags, then excuse myself to my customer and turn my head to where Mr. X, our supervisor was lazying about and raise my voice to be clearly heard over all the noise. "Mr. X! WE NEED MORE (insert item we're now low or out of)!" By the end of the night, my formerly neutral opinion of him is now very, very low. I've been appointed by everyone else to call him to heel ALL NIGHT, which annoys me no end, since it's HIS job to make sure we can take care of our customers in a speedy manner, and I should NOT need to bellow time after time all night for each little thing we're needing NOW. By the end of the night, he hates the sound of my voice. And I don't care. . The next night, I check again to find he's supposed to be in charge of us again. I march myself upstairs to have a little chat with the only other manager of color, a very sweet Hispanic lady with a rubber spine. I politely but firmly ask her to inform the closing manager that if Mr. X repeats the same sort of performance he gave as last night, I'll walk in the middle of rush, and I might not be the only one to do so. "Oh! I-I couldn't!" . I looked her in the eye very seriously and repeat myself. "You need to tell Closing Manager. He needs to know. He will want to know." Then I returned downstairs to work. 1.5 hours after he was to start, Mr. X comes in. Closing Manager made good use of this time, finding the three of us who worked under Mr. X the night before and asking us about it separately. I was the last one he spoke with. And I was mad. I didn't hold anything back about how he left us hanging over and over, and everyone came to =me= to get things fixed each time, even though I was just one of them. Reminded him again that I was already on my two weeks' notice, and I didn't mind walking in the middle of rush to make my displeasure clear. But I really and truly would NOT put up with that again. He said he'd talk to Mr. X, who was waiting outside the door and giving me a very dirty look. "Not holding back" included being rather loud about my complaints, not a one of which had anything to do with his color or race, and he is every bit as born American as I. He likely tried telling himself that I was racist, and that was why I was being the way I was, being I'm only a few bare pigment points from being albino. Nope! . That night, he spent with us in the concession bar... mostly. But I only needed to call him back a few times, rather than all night. Each time I called on him, he would, with very tight, very angry politeness ask, "Is there anything else you need?" And I would give him a disdainful look and reply, "Not right now, thank you," with crisp politeness. . Found out later that he'd decided that he wasn't getting all the credit he deserved, and ordered the other manager, the sweet (and competent) Hispanic lady to let HIM do all the paperwork one night, and he borked it all up. Every bit of it. This meant he was so bad with money that they didn't dare have him selling tickets, where he'd be handling the most money. And they didn't want him getting off easy with just usher shifts, as he didn't actually clean theaters... that was what the =other= ushers were for, silly! He wasn't stupid, he could tell being the concessions supervisor was a lot more work, he just felt it was beneath him. Felt he shouldn't have to be our beck-n-call man, even if that was the job he'd been given. At this point, he's barely working... okay, that implies he was working much before this. His =hours= were cut to almost nothing now, but they couldn't fire him because the only other non-white manager 1) didn't have the rank, 2) couldn't fire anyone. The other managers had all heard him promising them the wrath of the NAACP if fired, and were building as strong a case as they could, and cutting his hours as much as they could in the hopes he'd just move on of his own will. Never did work with him again, and didn't ask after him, but also didn't work many more days after this with them, either. . . And for anyone who reads this whole block of text, I hope you enjoyed it! Every word is true.

The best Officer's in the military are the ones who had prior service as an Enlisted soldier. The same is true in the Civilian world. At the company where I work, the President started on the shop floor 30 years ago. In the 8 years I have worked there, I can count on one hand the number of decisions that I thought were stupid...... All of them he later reversed when people complained.

[@peoswriter1]

@@dopapanyel Absolutely. If you're not willing to do a job yourself, you're not fit to lead somebody else to do it. That doesn't mean every manager and CEO has to start at the bottom level, but it does mean that they need to listen to the people at the bottom so they can make up for that knowledge gap and actually do a good job. Just about the fastest way a manager can get the support of his subordinates is to have the basic humility required to ask them for their input and actually listen. I turned around a restaurant team like that when I started managing. I asked them if they had any good ideas for the restaurant or ways we could make the job easier on them, and boom, I got some good ideas and had some employees really invested in the work because they could trust me and claim some ownership over the shop's success. My awkward transition into a manager role lasted a DAY, and it was my FIRST manager position. It was so satisfying and fun. Turned into a great place to work and one of the highlights of my professional life.

A while back in my current job, one of my employees went on break 2 minutes early and my boss's boss got in his business about it, the employee was like how come you don't yell at your other employees like that and he said if you don't like it we can take it outside. My friend was shook. Fast forward to a couple days later, I get blamed for setting off the fire alarms at work (turns out it was faulty wiring) but my boss's boss gets all up in my face about whether or not I vaped, starts telling me all kinds of rules and stuff I just said so if I want to vape I should take it outside? He went white as a sheet. I only said that because I knew he was retiring, but that turned out to be his last day, called in sick the next two days and then came back to get his stuff.

Back when I was in high school I worked for a local fast food restaurant, I and my manager were the only ones left working at close which was 11pm and my manager told me we are not closing until every customer has left. I was basically forced to cook and serve this group of high school girls that were planning to play hooky for school the next day and were going to enjoy themselves. Just as it hit midnight I turned off the kitchen, finished the dishes and walked up to the girls and told them that if they were planning to skip school they need to leave as I needed to get sleep for school and I wasn't going to keep serving them. My manager walked up and ordered me to reopen the kitchen and continue until they left on their own. I looked him in the eye and said fine he can do it himself cause I'm leaving to go to bed for school. He told me that if I walked out the door I was fired. I laughed and said I like to see you try and clocked out and left. After school the next day I came in to talk with the owner who was only told one side of the story and was pissed. I explained to her what had happened and she calmed down and instead fired the manager for it. Side note in my state it is highly illegal to have student employees work way passed scheduled times. Also this wasn't the first time something like this happened with that manager as he tried to schedule me to work and hour before I was to be let out of school...... also illegal

Some months ago, maybe last year, I heard another story about someone refusing to clean up an awful public restroom. It makes the two similar stories in this video sound very familiar. I recall that a commenter under the old video pointed out that the dirty restroom could be considered quite toxic and should be cleaned by professionals, not some poor minimum-wage waiter or teenager. Anyone without proper training being asked to do such clean up work might want to consider calling their local health department to report the business establishment. It's sad people don't know how to use a restroom -- but the business can probably write the professional clean up off their taxes and not have to worry about fines from the health department for endangering the health of employees or the public. Edited to add: at 39:45, under a brief story, "BananaFPS" mentions "biohazard" and that is exactly the term I was looking for 😊😋

[@jwb083]

not quite the same but I was feed up with the poor management( in a year+ of working there I only ever got 5 paychecks on time out of about 30 or so paychecks) I gave my notice and was asked later that day to give my key for opening the shop to my co-worker( who can't make it to work on time most days just because hence why I was given the key to open up) later on that night I get a text message that there isn't any work to do so the shop won't be open tomorrow(Friday). I get the exact same message Sunday evening, I get ready anyway and drive into work, wait 30min after opening and not seeing anyone come to work at all text my boss my time sheet and ask if they are planing to open the shop anytime before my last day. the exact words I got back read " I do not think so" so I called my new work and told them what happened and I could start early if needed. so I started the next day.

Had a Chief in the Navy threaten to demote me from Work Center Supervisor. Closest military can do to firing someone without a LOT of paperwork. So, when she threatened me, I told her to go ahead. But that the stress and turmoil I would feel might cause me to forget EVERYTHING I know about that work center, it's systems, unwritten repair methods, and troubleshooting procedures that I hadn't taught anyone. Despite this, I would be perfectly happy to take a demotion. I then (smugly) asked who she would put me under. The problem she faced there was that I had trained all of the other duty sections WCS'. I was the one they called when something broke and they didn't know how to fix it. I had the unlisted personal cell phone numbers for both the software and hardware side civilian techs for my shop. The few times I needed to call, they dropped whatever they were doing and answered. If demoted, I would no longer have the decision-making authority to call even their listed phone numbers. And because it wouldn't be my place to tell the supervisor what to do, I would not correct them if they made a mistake.

Kinda in the same department, I had a "try to pin the blame on me I dare you" my previous workplace had me doing extra work that was outside my title, and had me training someone else in that capacity. I told the trainee to do something and had him continue to work, he decided not to do the thing and it ruined a lot of stuff. The supervisor pulls me in later that day with a new hire supervisor (eventually my new boss, whom I loved and still keep on contact with) as well as HR and the head of quality assurance. My supervisor basically was trying to blame me for all the messed up stuff and how bad I did etc., This boss by the way had the catch phrase "you don't like it? There's the door." He also shirked his duties alot (and was documented on camera if they reviewed the tapes). I straight up ignored the hell outta him, looked directly at HR and stated all the violations he had me working for jobs in unapproved ways and that they would be unable to pin this on me without admitting having me run (we will call it unique parts with lots of attention and strict rules and huge punishment) and would certainly cause an investigation. My supervisor got super angry that I ignored him and outted the work he was making me do. Slammed his hand on the table and walked out the door for the day. He kept his job but had a week of paid time off. The new supervisor that I did like told me after the fact that he was trying super hard to not laugh at how I handled the situation. I also did end up with a documented write up for some B.S. worded way of saying I was on thin ice without confessing to what I actually had done.

One day it was very very busy and I was handling a very large crowd, being pulled from register to the ovens as she clocks in, but in a tik and shes gone, back to the dough, I start to panic as more and more people flood into the store, I begin to cry and run back while one of the oven boys held down the house, I asked her to please come help me, with just doing something simple like stocking sauces and I got blatantly told, “no.” So I left out of there real quick Glared at her as she was moved up to the register of a tiny little ceasers with 30+ people crammed in there and more on the way, have fun doing my job bitch.

If I remember correctly, you have to give your employees special biohazard training in order to have them clean up human waste. Of course, most people don't know their rights, so most corporations don't even have training procedures in place for these kinds of things for the average employee (assuming they don't have a dedicated janitor). You're also supposed to cordon off an area if somebody say, throws up in the dining room, but a lot of places don't do that either. When it comes to food safety laws especially, the government is pretty strict and clear in its conduct, the problem is that a lot of Health Inspectors are VERY friendly with the business owners, so a lot of local places get away with it.

[@OoShqdow]

I know this vid is super old and all but I had this happen to me last Sunday. I've worked in the same restaurant since my 14th birthday (you can't work until 14 where I live, I'm 21 now so I've worked there for 7 years and have become a very important part of the kitchen - often working 55+ hour weeks when others call in) Last Sunday, we had two people call in sick (we normally have 10 people in our kitchen on a busy night, so 2 people out is 20% of our staff) We had a 16 year old girl work from 6am to 9pm that night (super illegal but she offered and we paid her quite well for it), as well as two other members of our staff come in to cover partial shifts to help out. When the third person showed up, our Kitchen manager tried to kick the second person (Let's call her CL) out "we don't need you here", but I had specifically asked her to stay and help me prepare more food - I'm the best at my job there, so if I'm asking for help WE NEED IT. The kitchen manager (Let's call her AM) says "CL, you need to leave now. This is non negotiable, GET OUT" CL: "AM, why is it such a big deal if I stay and help OoShqdow?" AM: "Why do you need to ask me that question?? I'm the head chef in this kitchen, and I need you to get out." (AM is not the head chef, the head chef worked that morning and AM was simply a replacement while we search for someone better) CL left the building crying after working 4 extra hours to help cover the people who called in sick. I blew up for the first time in 7 years in my kitchen. "AM THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. We had 2 people call in sick today, and 3 people willing to cover partial shifts so I don't have to run my ass off. What is the big deal with having extra hands?!" (I've discussed this with the owner of the restaurant - if I think we need extra help, the owner has no problem with it - in fact, AM has tried to kick me out in the past and the owner said I should come in earlier/stay longer next time if I want and that AM has no power over me - I even have a key so I can't get locked out.) AM: "OoShqdow, let it go. This is not your fight." Me: "I will NOT let this go, you just sent my help out the door crying and WHO KNOWS if she'll be back tomorrow." AM: "If you're not going to let it go, you can walk out the door right now" Me: "If that's what it takes, I will. We can't have another person quit." (everyone hates AM in our kitchen and she has made at least 10 people quit, on top of others requesting to not work her shifts- which is near impossible.) AM kept cooking her food as she literally cried on the line. I talked to the owner the next day and she said AM will be terminated at the end of this year.

[@superdave8248]

This story is coming to you from the opposite side of the house. In other words the manager. I was the manager at a restaurant that did most of the heavy maintenance at night. We had two people trained to do it. One guy who worked Monday - Friday. He absolutely refused to work weekends. The other person worked Saturday and Sunday. Well the person who worked on the weekends had a very poor job performance. He was quite often not calling in and not showing up. Well, guess who would have to do his job for him. That is right, me. Now, you have to ask why didn't I just straight out fire him? Because filling a 11 PM - 6 AM shift two days a week (on the weekend no less) was impossible. And with weekends being the busiest days of the week I would also work those days to help with service. Needless to say I was putting in 60 - 70 hours a week and got burned out within months. But I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Fire the guy and possibly get stuck doing the job every weekend moving forward or tolerate his poor job performance and fill in when he didn't show up. I chose the later. I was never so happy to leave a job in my life. When I hear a story about an employee who does a critical job for a business with cleaning and maintenance of the equipment and then does all the work and leaves the equipment apart ... my first response is the managers should at the very least be able to assemble the equipment. Whether we are talking a car, food equipment, or the kitchen sink you should never have an employee who can do something you can't do yourself. Because if that employee leaves, then you should be in a position to train the next person who takes over for him or her. I means seriously, how can you effective manage people who has job skills and efficience that you have no clue about?

When I was a rent a cop I caught a real cop sleeping in his patrol car- it has been an hour since he entered our tiny gated community to check out an alarm and he still hadn’t reached the address. I woke him up, led him where he was supposed to be, and sang him a few choruses of the song of my people, so he called for backup and said I was endangering him- I told him the criminals left while you were sleeping and set a course to walk right over him to leave the scene before his backup came to arrest me. He stepped aside. I wrote it up exactly how it happened. They fired me. I’d gotten a little too used to putting cops in their place because I kept catching burglars who they couldn’t catch.

Not only did she deny that, she actually told me I wasn't allowed to take the vacation I had been approved of because of a group scheduling last minute. It was my one vacation a year. I told her I had already put down payments and the like. She shrugged and didn't even say sorry. Wrote my two week that night.

Working in a mechanic shop with clear see through shop garage windows. You could see the employee's snap on toolboxes,what tools we had,where we kept our equipment,I asked for tinted windows because it's a bad area and we were worried for the safety of our boxes. Manager wouldn't tint the windows. I spray painted them black that night before I left. He texted me saying I'd recieve 3 days unpaid if I did it again. I told him I don't care and sent him a picture of the spray paint isle at tractor supply. They washed and tinted the windows the next day.

Former Grocery store guy here. I was the "Cleaning/ maintenance/Swiss army/ guy" Which means I did all the crazy shit nobody else could or would do. I can say, with confidence, that the women's bathroom was always horrible. I never had to hose the walls and floor in the men's room. Had to with the women's room lots of times.

My boss, with a look in his eye: "Hey we can't find the deposit from the other night that you worked" Me, laughing: "Well you better start looking!" He smiled. That was my first year there. I'm still there, 4 years later.

I was working as a contractor, video producer (I. E. Not a salaried employee). The company was trying to hire me as a salaried employee, but low-balled me on the salary. They said if I didn't accept it, they would find someone who would. I told them they have to do what's best for them, I have to do what's best for me. They never hired someone else, and I ended up leaving the position around a year later.

Janitor here! If your boss is trying to make you clean up a biohazard (read: poo, pee, vomit, etc.), your only real defense is that you were not trained for biohazard clean up. They can technically still kick up a fuss but bringing up federal policies does make some employers think twice.

Ill never understand how owners and management seem to forget who are the ones that keep the money coming in. The lack of respect and appreciation for employees is astounding. Im working at a shit whole job right now because of the current oil situation I got layed off last year and the lack of pay and expectations in this place are ass backwards. So I basically do what I want around here because I know they can't afford to fire any drivers because this place is a revolving door. I call in whenever I want, I take my sweet ass time and when they try to make me work on the weekends I tell them I can't or make up an excuse. You want professional employees pay professional wages simple as that.

I used to work on a production floor doing final quality control and checkout for the line. Every shift we had to document quality control issues and turn in the paperwork for the QA manager. One time I brought up a quality issue to my production supervisor and when I got back to my desk I watched him throw my paperwork into the trash. I confronted him and he shouted me down. I got word of it to the QA manager and he came out onto the production floor and chewed the supervisor out. We had procedures for a reason, after all. He didn't speak to me for 3 weeks. Nobody in upper management had any respect for him anyway.

From age 16 to 21 I worked in the kitchen of a local sit down restaurant. There was a stereo bolted to the wall in the rear kitchen (where I worked). I would routinely have metal music playing, but at a volume that couldn't be heard from the dining room. The sometimes night manager was in a relationship with the daughter of the owner, and he absolutely hated heavy metal. Now he spent almost all of his time sitting behind a register or in the office, but he would occasionally stroll through my kitchen and would always turn my music down from a volume of 5 to a volume of 1/2. Then he would walk off. Finally I had enough...so the next time he pulled that Shit I told him if he did it 1 more time, I was going to tear the stereo off the goddamned wall and smash it over his fu*kin' head. He stared at for a moment, clearly pissed, but I guess he saw in my eyes that I was serious and did not give a single fu*k because he never messed with that stereo again. I'm 46 now, and I have never had a job that I was scared to lose. I won't put up with no bullish*t.

I've been gas-lighed by my family throughout my life, but am surprisingly sharp. Almost all of my jobs are "fire at will". The crazy part of my story is that 90% of the company's that gaslighted me &fired me, are no more. It must be bad luck to cross a good mutt.

I was working at this local restaurant/diner as a teenager for awhile, and it was the worst. The food was awesome though. But the manager would only let me work 4 hours a week for like 8.25$ plus tips, but no one ever tipped. So I was only getting around 38 dollars a months with tips. After awhile I was sick of it and requested more hours or at least a raise. They said no so at least I requested some more hours and once again, they declined. Next day I put in my 2 weeks and brought a cake that said “I quit” that I had spent the night before baking. I had found another job that payed me 2 dollars more an hour and gave me extra shifts.

Reminds me of my dad. He was civil service Air Force. He had fixed the broken parts ordering system and tracked down much of the missing inventory. The venal and thieves that were relying on the system working as it had tried to push him out. Tried until they realized that only my dad could run the system in its new state, and that they had no clue how to return the system back to its prior broke state. My dad got to stay. Coda: The venal and thieves dropped like a hot potato their support for the guy they had had file a racial based complaint against my dad. Lacking support, my dad's proven counter claims against this guy's various thefts and fraud just fell on this guy like a ton of bricks--he lost everything.

As an early teen, 11 or 12, i entered a classroom and had to puke out of nowhere. I was totally baffled. The teacher told me to go to the teachers lounge and ask that somebody drives me home, so my parents can bring me to a doctor. They laughed at me. So i just went to the train station and waited the 4 hours until the first train went to go home. Stupid me. Should have waited in front of the teachers lounge, just in case something happened. The other option was, to tramp home, what i did sometimes. But even for me that day it seemed a bit risky. By the way, nothing was found by the doctor.

Heh PDQ towing was mine.... Dude was screaming at me calling me a liar on break downs, Traffic, etc. Last straw was when he told my friends dad I was an Idiot and Didn't know what I was talking about when I said that load would be overweight on the Frieghliner (it was) then he's batching at me saying it was my fault, and now needed to rush thus load... I told him I was going home and working on my car, he said I was fired, I said Ok.... 4 weeks later that late load was still sitting in his yard

[@enoughrope1638]

I had an extremely boring job in production glass cutting. The pay was extremely low, no benefits, and back breaking. The only reason I worked there for 2+ years was I liked my coworkers. When my old boss was fired and replaced the new guy decided to complain about how I was doing my job. I told him "If you don't like the 1/32 tolerance, you can cut it." He replied "That's not Funny". Oh? It seemed pretty damn funny to me when I gave my notice a few days later. It got even better when I heard from a friend that they hadn't replaced me for 3 months and he was indeed doing all the glass cutting. Finally it reached peak hilarity when I found out the owner had to hire back the guy I had originally replaced 2 years prior at a much higher pay rate while he posted his business for sale in the classifieds xD
