I had recently graduated college but hadn't been able to find a job in my field (engineering), so I started looking for another job in the meantime to pay my bills.

    Font - I admit I was late more than I should have been (maybe once a week), but it was almost always by less than a minute and the latest l'd been was by 2 minutes, but I always made sure to make up for it by staying a few minutes after my shift. For context, this job was 7-3:30 and I had a 50 minute commute so traffic was often unpredictable.

You don't get to show up for work just when you feel like it!" me: (getting pissed off at this point) "No, I'm saying l'll make up for it! Now you're accusing me of of not caring when I show up?"

I get a call from them the next day and they told me that the machine shop owner wanted me to come in for a meeting. Cue the petty revenge. I drive over to the machine shop, and while l'm in the parking lot I make a phone call, (more on that later) and make sure to clock in before heading into the meeting. As soon as I sit down the owner's phone rings and he ignores the call. It turns out

He keeps getting angrier and angrier and finally decides that I'm a lost cause and officially fires me. I look him in the eye with a shit-eating grin on my face chuckling. Foreman: "You think this is funny" me: "Yep" I turn to the owner: "You got a phone call from the temp agency ea

    Font - Threadstitchn · 2d 1 Award I worked in a machine shop with a guy name Nick, I liked Nick. He was ex-military staff Sargent or something. I came in late once and he said "you're late when I was late in the military they'd have me scrubbing the entire area with a tooth brush." I said, Nick l'm sorry I'm late, if you want me to scrub the floors with a toothbrush l'Ill scrub the floors. I'll do whatever you want in the shop, I get paid either way and it doesn't really matter what I do as long
