This, folks, is how to get other people to follow your lead. Not only was this dishwasher justified in calling out toxic management for their incessant outbursts, but he chose to do it in the best way: a group text with the entire staff in the same chat.

And oh, what a group chat message it was! It's the kind of major confrontation that could only inspire groupthink and spark a subsequent craze of mass quitting. Here's hoping we get an update from the original poster explaining the details of who followed suit.

    lazyllama13 5 hr. ago As a dishwasher myself, I feel this. No one really pays attention to the dishwasher, and this position doesn't get the respect it deserves. We see a lot of ☐ but can't say much. Four for you, Glen Coco!

    KG_Garcia 2 hr. ago Real talk: I've worked in restaurants for years; and nothing can service more than being down a dishwasher. The most essential jobs always get the least respect and least compensation.
