A few months ago, the two owners at my work had a huge disagreement which has escalated to full blown screaming matches in the middle of the office and nearly into several physical fights. It came to a head last Friday and owner A decided to pack it all in and leave effective immediately.

Bin everything in that room. I don't want to see a shred of evidence that owner A worked here when I get back on monday morning." The warehouse manager looked at the offending office and back to owner B. "Are you sure you want to bin everything boss?"

Get rid of everything in there or you can clear out your desk too." And so owner B stormed off and our warehouse manager took out his walkie talkie and summoned up two of his warehouse staff and relayed the instructions. The warehouse workers questioned it and got the same answer: yes, absolutely everything.

Everything else was bagged up and put into the bins. The paperwork and stationary were boxed up to be shredded and destroyed. Next the monitor and printer were taken to the bins, followed by the desk and chair. When I left at 4pm, the warehouse workers were just starting to take down the wall mounted bookshelves. I would have expected th

    Font - Owner B came in at 10 this morning, took one look at the bomb site and started screaming his head off and demanded to see the warehouse manager. He wanted whoever did to put this right and then get off site as they were fired. If no one owned up, then the whole warehouse shift was fired. Our warehouse manager, never one to give a shit, just peered into the office and said "You said bin everything boss. Looks like they did." And walked off. Owner B looked like he was going to burst a vesse

And, those workers who remained were probably already looking for other jobs at that point. I sure wouldn't want to work with/for someone like that.

The screaming is generally restricted to the conference rooms, but it's next level. The level of compliance prolly isn't there either. We'd likely leave the fixtures and carpet.

    Font - GeneralleeRetarded - 20 hr. ago Reminds me last winter I threw out a f. kin 200 dollar huge thick entrance winter mat for soaking and holding in dirt and water. Mid winter it was looking gross and I asked as the manager was leaving if there was something I could do with it? "Just toss it" Toss it? "Yeah, just toss it.." oook.
