💀

Oh yeah, multiple times. Feels great every time.

Yup. My wife and I used to work at a jewelry store together. Management fired my wife for being friendly with a district manager they had to let go (for legitimate reasons). Told the owners that they made a mistake. They said it was justified, but I could stay if I wanted. I ended up rallying 3/4 of the staff at our store to walk out too, because they all loved working with my wife. The owners needed to run the store themselves for 3 months before they hired enough staff to replace everyone. It was a good day.

In another life 84 million years ago I worked at a grocery store, I started at a decent wage with 40 hours a week.

New manager was then placed in my department immediately moved me to 9 hours a week…

Literally just didnt show up again she called me pissed off and I was like “You fucked around and found out, no one can live off of 9 hours a week”.

Mind you she had huge chunks of time not covered and had to work like 80 hours a week for a few months.

I moved back to my hometown after college because there was a job that offered to get my foot in the door of the game industry. I was pretty despite and I just graduated with a second diploma in that industry and had a lot of student loans.

The job was to a an in-game service rep for Trions Rift mmo. I was working via a third party but the assured me that if I did well they’d become the tier 2 support center and get some dev work.

That turned out to be complete bullshit. After 3 months of watching the team get fired for every tiny infraction they announced we where all to be moved to a banking project.

So I did the 2 weeks of training for the bank thing while scrambling to get any other job. I had a few promising roles as a disboy which actually paid better. So day one after training I fucked up an account somehow and locked off 50k of someone’s money by putting it into the wrong account.

I said fuck it and went home. Was slinging dishes a few days later. Didn’t land a real job till about a year or 2 after. Never got into the game industry but that’s probably for the best.

I’m almost 40 and I’ve had about 20 jobs since my first and I’ve walked out of every single one. I don’t owe them anything. They wouldn’t give me 2 weeks notice before firing me, right? I only walk out because it’s fair and what should be expected of me.

Koch Industries was my first, decades ago.

I worked at Panera and they gave me a whopping $0.08 raise after working there for a year lol. I politely declined and put my two weeks in.

A couple days later at work I cut my finger because the knife I was using wasn’t sharp enough and I had to use too much force to cut and I ended up cutting the tip of my index finger off. It was just dangling by a piece of skin.

I had to drive myself to the hospital because the manager didn’t trust the employees enough to leave them alone, then whenever I got there I signed in but the Panera manager didn’t want to give me the insurance information and they told me I went to a hospital outside of their network even though I went to the one they sent me to.

The next day they called me into work even though the doctor said I couldn’t work for the following week. I told them to fuck off and never went back.

Panera declined to pay anything but I wasn’t aware of this until I was sent to collections and I had to pay something like $2k for some stitches. That was after negotiating it down from $8k.

This was in 2018. I probably did a couple things wrong but I was a teenager and I didn’t know better.

I have one I would love to do that for now, but the need for money to support a family keeps me from doing it. Luckily should be able to apply for jobs soon when I’m done my degree in a few months

Never. While it may be satisfying, why let a temporary emotional response impact my career/income? They’re not worth it. Always have the next job lined up first. Always go through the motions of doing the right thing” so there are no strikes against your next job

I used to be a utility locator in 2011-2012. You know, one of the guys who would paint lines showing where the lines are when you “call before you dig”.

The company I worked for was so disorganized, and had so much trouble keeping people, that everyone was basically working 7-12’s, unless you were on call. If you were on call, you got to work 12 hours and then you got to work all night.

All for $12.50 per hour. I went to a temp agency to get a job, any job, doing anything. I dropped off the truck and the laptop for the utillity locator company without a word.

Yeah when I was young I found out my gf at the time was cheating on me with my coworker. Found the evidence while I was at work, called them each and confronted them and they admitted it. I left my keys on the desk and walked out. Just didn’t want to face it. I had quit college because I wanted to work some, and ended up going back to school after this.

I worked at an ice cream parlour in my hometown for a summer job. After three shifts I knew it was horrible and it wouldn’t get any better. Two hours before the start of my fourth shift, I walked up to the boss and said, “I don’t work here anymore. You’re a cunt.”

Many times,

The worst with IBM my supervisor called me on my days off plus 2 day leave and told me to report for work during weekends. By that time i was on vacation I just got here, he was persistent to me going home or access the VM and i answered him “what should i use? The front desk kiosks or my camera pick one.”

When i returned, got a memo on my desk for insubordination lol and i signed with my middle finger doodle and a photo of the beach left it there and only came back for an exit clearances.
