Internet Convinces Employee to Quit After Bad Boss Steals Tips

This employee signed on to work at a pizza place in Washington State, despite all of the red flags they could see during the interview and hiring process.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the employee, a Redditor who has since deleted their account information to hide their identity and cover their tracks to help avoid backlash from the employer in relation to the post. Posts like this can be a considerable risk to the poster, and it's not uncommon for things like this to get back to an employer (or ex-employer) and cause them to seek reparations or retribution. After all, the bosses who end up in these stories aren't the most well adjusted in the first place. This is especially an issue in small communities where the employer often holds a lot of power over the employee's ability to get another job in the town or the industry.

The post is a poorly formatted, rambling rant that exudes the frustration that the poster must have felt when they wrote it. They're clearly upset at the injustice they have faced in their employment which is more than understandable.

Commenters picked up on this and quickly voiced their support, encouraging the employee to walk away without notice. We workers are often afraid to do this as we are scared of damaging our reputation or losing a reference. Especially when you're just starting your employment journey, it's important to remember that a few weeks will never matter. Usually, you wouldn't want to use these terrible employers as a reference anyways.
