'I quit my job after only one week': New employee sends scathing email to HR calling the company out of its shady policies

Without people like this, companies will only continue to exploit their workers. Well, if we're being our most cynical selves, we can acknowledge that companies will likely continue to exploit their workers no matter what. However, they will only continue to go unchecked and will only be emboldened to ramp up their unfair treatment of others unless workers call them out on their BS. We wish that the burden didn't have to fall on the exploited, but unfortunately, no changes will be made otherwise.

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/juelpa,  serves as another example of this fact. We have to give props to the original poster for being so completely transparent. They could have just quit, but laying out all these ridiculous policies could potentially make things easier for those who have to stay. Unfortunately, the Redditor has to go back into the workplace once more to return a key. We anticipate that this will be an awkward encounter, to say the least.
