Job Tries To Call Guy In For Shift After 10 Years Of Not Working There

Many of us have had nightmares where we find ourselves working back at our older, worse jobs. It's not exactly fun to see those bad jobs clawing back from the past to interrupt our new reality. Redditor u/Bumwungle posted to the popular subreddit r/IDontWorkHereLady to tell their story of how this nightmare came true when an old, college-era fast-food gig called and asked them to come in for a New Year's Eve shift more than 10 years after they had quit. 

Fascinating that this is even possible, right? We're sure the person on the phone was just as confused as the former employee when they pointed out that they don't actually work there anymore. And as it turns out, this isn't even an uncommon thing to have happen: plenty of other Redditors shared similar stories in the comments. Makes you want to quit all over again. For some serious quitting catharsis, here's an employee who resigned and had his boss pleading for them to come back while losing fistfuls of money.
