    Font - likn16. 4d 1 Award I was thinking about quitting but has holding back. I scheduled a vacation with 3 extra days. It was a once in a lifetime type of trip. He rejected my vacation request. I thought about it for a couple of hours. Went to his office and told him 'I'm taking the trip no matter what.' The next morning the boss met me at hr and gave me a formal written warning. I responded by giving him my 2 week notice. They apologized and tried to convince me not to leave but it was too lat

    "rofl... 'Here is your written warning' Here is YOUR written warning. Except it's not a warning, it's a fuck you. I quit" said u/Black_Moons.

    "Well let's not get crazy now!" replied u/Im-a-cat-in-a-box.

    Font - ijustcomment • 4d 1 Award My boss and I had butted heads a few times after she took over the office. After finding a much better job I handed her a list of my job responsibilities, which she asked for because she didn't understand what I did there. "This is too much, we'd have to distribute all this to like 4 different people" and I said "yea" and walked out. Spoiler: she didn't do any of that and was fired less than a year later as the office was falling apart. Reply 13.3k ...

    "That shit always pissed me off. I had a manager basically the same way. I was doing the work of 3+ people. I constantly said we needed relief. Juniors even to take the easier loads off or something. Nothing. Then I found I was being paid less than new hires with no experience after multiple years of this shit. So, one day - I got an offer for almost double my salary. Basically going from $65k to $130k. 'We can't match that' So I left and chaos unfolded…" said u/red_dawn.

    Font - GreedolnASpeedo • 4d Working retail I quit at the register on Black Friday. I had recently gotten another full-time job and was keeping this retail gig because I liked the employee discount and due to my other job this check was pure fun money, all that is to say I didn't need the retail job. My store manager comes over at hour 7 of my shift, with chaos and a line 100 people long, and has the nerve to tell me my up-sales(fishing for promo signups, i.e. rewards, credit cards etc) weren't c

    "I worked a register job at a bulk store for a while, and they had the same issue with me. I hated giving that dumb little spiel to each person in line. It felt scummy to me, and I didn't like that I felt like I was forcing something onto the customer that they didn't want. I even got yelled at by customers for it a couple times." said u/Zahille7.

    Font - garlicroasted potato • 4d As far as my life goes it was the shittiest job I ever took. Long hours, a lot of crunch, no company vehicle and a lot of travel. Every time I'd go to a different site I would get like 20 different phone numbers for the various people I was communicating with. Anyway so all of the contacts. for these people was on my company phone that was synched up to my personal GMail (which stored all the phone numbers). At some point management decided my job was redundant a

    "Same. We were all fired enmasse, I knew it was coming so I formed my LLC. I had my work lined up, called every other person who was let go and offered to find them work. Old boss called me up and threatened to sue me for going after their ex employees!!! Fuck you Darren! Best thing ever." said u/imnotbobvilla.

    Rectangle - Griffie 4d ● ER 4 Awards Mechanic at a commuter airline. Boss wanted me to sign off a plane pre-flight inspection. I refused to sign because the plane was not airworthy. He told me if I wished to continue working, then id better sign. My response: then I guess I don't work here anymore. I picked up my tool box and left. EDIT: yes, I am an A&P. I did report it to the head of maintenance as well as the FAA. No, I cannot reveal the airline, but rest assured, they have been absorbed by o

    Font - ATF AlphaTangoFoxtrt. 4d When I left, he promised to take halfl what I was making and spread it among the team as raises to cover the extra work. He was trying to stop the exodus as I was the 3rd person to leave in a short time. So when I left I handed my pay stub (minus social security info) to the team and said Just in case he tried to lie. This is what I make. He tried to lie. They also realized they were being underpaid by a good chunk. He told me that was a breach of confidential inf

    Font - Frosty BallBag • 4d On my last day at the bowling alley, I sent an email to head office detailing all the shit he'd been up to but everyone was too afraid to report (inc. trying to fire someone when he found out she was pregnant - a big no no in my country). I heard later that the next day regional manager and a couple of executives turned up for a surprise inspection. He's found in the office, having backed a 16 year old female colleague in the corner, screaming at the top of his lungs,

    Font - Successful_Tone5456. 4d I interviewed for a new job and was offered it. I wrote my 2 week notice that same day and handed it over the next morning (I worked 11 pm - 7 am). The complete waste of oxygen that was the GM at the time tried to compete with the new job, and I laughed in his face. Told him that in order for me to even consider staying, he would have to give me a $9/hr raise, pto, and health insurance. He made a hateful comment, and I took my notice and changed the final date to t

    Font - Intrepid Knowledge27 . 4d 2 Awards I was a program director developing and piloting a new program, and after a year of being overloaded and telling our exec director I either needed a second person or a smaller caseload, he pulls me into his office and goes "We don't really think you're a good fit for this position, but you're a bright young lady and we'd hate to lose you. I'm giving you the option to stay and be my secretary. You have until 7am tomorrow to decide." I took an early lunch,
