Oh no, if it isn't the consequences of your actions! What a surprise… NOT. Yeah, I brought back that joke. Because it truly should not be a surprise. When you do something, like flake on committed plans, then you're going to have to suffer the consequences of your actions. 

Funny enough, this employee was aghast when she was faced with the outcome of her actions. She no-called/no-showed for her restaurant shift. If you don't t know what that is, it's basically self-explanatory. It's when you don't show up for work and you don't tell anyone. After doing this for several shifts, the managers took this as she ain't coming back. However, she called in several days later upset that she wasn't schedule. The manager told her she was fired because she no-called/no-showed, but she refused to believe him. Can you believe THAT? She then proceeded to call the restaurant non-stop, harass the hostess, and make a fool out of herself. Read the entire story below!

    Font - So my usual shifts at the restaurant were morning shifts with the odd evening thrown in there every once in a while. This story begins during a particularly slow evening shift. Very little activity at all in the restaurant. Due to this, I was standing at the pass talking with my co-worker and one

    Font - Me: Sorry, you just missed him. He's gone for the night. You can leave a message if you want, I think he's in tomorrow morning. If it's urgent, Manager (M) is here. She hangs up. I didn't think anything of it, just someone looking for our GM and was a little rude about it.

    Font - Me: Well actually, ma'am, I was the one you were speaking to an hour ago, and I did say that GM was gone home for the night. I offered you to leave a message as well, or you can speak to M if it's urgent. She's silent for a moment before saying, "Fine, I'll speak to M."

    Font - As she had the night before, she hung up at this. Whatever, I was over it. I went about my day. Around the end of my shift a few hours later, the phone rings again. I answer. Yet again, it's FE. FE: Is GM there?

    Font - FE: I'll leave my phone number. As I'm taking down her number she's slightly muffled, so I have to ask her to repeat a few times. When I read it back to her to make sure I had it right, apparently it was wrong and this bugged her because she

    Font - Co-worker: She's called like six times today. I answered the phone while you were doing room service runs and it was her like four times. Me: She yelled at me for not being able to hear her telling me her phone number and refused to give a name.

    Font - for her actions, or I guess lack of actions, and that just baffled me. How do you tell a manager that you don't believe what he's saying just because he's not the GM?

    Font - EmagehtmaI• 4 yr. ago Most jobs I've had state in your hiring paperwork that any no-call no-show within the first x amount of days is a voluntary resignation on your part and after your probation period something like 3 no-call no- shows in a row is considered the same. So you can't even claim unemployment, because you "quit" rather than got fired.
