'Yesterday was my last day': Employer makes worker "jump through hoops" to take PTO, quits instead

Jumping through hoops might be fun for your labrador, Charlie, but it does not make up a means of effective management. Sure, it might feel like you're doing something and having a significant impact on your team, but if you took a step back, you'd see that your directives have everyone needlessly running around in circles. Busy work is work, but it's not getting anyone anywhere.

This worker shared their experience with a popular online community for workplace matters, explaining how they had given notice to their job and were trying to get their employer to apply their remaining PTO to their remaining shifts. Their employer kept dodging the issue, which drove the worker, instead, to quit on the spot, leaving the employer with even less shift coverage than they were already worried about.

Keep reading to see selected screenshots of the post they shared on this popular Reddit community. Next, see this manager who got a call from their old employer demanding that they take their useless ex-coworker off their hands.
