  • Employee about to leave office writes on stack of papers while smiling.
  • Good call!

    archedhighbrow I was at a restaurant for 2-3 hours and left due to unsanitary practices.
  • If your paycheck bounces, that company is REAL broke

    LIslander Walked out after a paycheck bounced. Wasn't first time it happened and I was tired of his bulls....
  • Very victorious!

    Flamingo83 I was joking after listening to my coworkers lightly roast me and the boss told me something like you can leave. so I immediately put my store keys on the counter got my purse and left. it felt amazing and I was a student so I could afford to be irresponsible.
  • Spicynoodlez Was a manager at a coffee shop. Helped open the place. Always worked by myself (i'm not even lying, i'd make syrups (from scratch), coffee (including roasting in the morning every 2 days), take drive-thru orders, work cashier, then go outside to open the bar by myself (bringing all the bottles, restocking, making garnishes, squeezing lime juice, batching cocktails ect [also whilst attending inside, might I add]) did this for years. Sometimes i'd have help, but a lot of the times, es
  • People who would work at the shop would constantly go to the back, ask the kitchen for food, and get it for free. Every staff rotation for years would do it. You know what i'd do? Lead by example. Pay for my food with a 30% discount. For 4 years I did this. One day the owner went off on me. It was a busy event, and i'm over here working my a off making all these drinks (smoothies, cocktails, coffee), and running food, and had the owner's wife attend the register.
  • Some guy walked in like an hour before the live music came on, working on his laptop with a coffee and a pastry he got before. Went up to him, he ordered a coffee from me again, i took his credit card, ran it back to the cash register, then gave him the coffee. Not even 20 minutes later, the owner starts profusely yelling at me saying that i need to kick that guy out because he's using up our internet, and didn't get anything. Then he saw the coffee mug in front of him, yelled at me for giving a
  • add), saying he looked at the cameras and didn't see him order anything. Said I was stealing from his company. Yelled at the customer to get out because he's taking up space for the live music event. I was so furious, but i'm the type of person with a dumb temperament, meaning that times that i should lash out or speak my mind I never do unless i'm boiled over the edge. Then he starts criticizing about my food that I had left in the back (which i payed for) saying that not only did I not pay for
  • I about lost it after I was called a liar. After what i've done for this place. Like I don't want to get into details, but by golly, the entire coffee menu wouldn't be there because of me, the entire cocktail menu wouldn't be there because of me, 64% sales on average on drinks and pastries were sometimes because of me, building things, cleaning things, organizing and doing orders... Not once had I EVER stolen from that place, and he just goes off on me, in the middle of service, in front of 20-3
  • Quite literally turned cherry red, got my phone from our little lockers (because we aren't allowed to have phones in the front of the house), and dipped in the middle of everything. Thing is, the owner has no idea how to even take an order (not exaggerating) or make ANY cocktails or coffee. He can only cook. F LL that place.
  • the-watch-dog Applebees in college. Manager thought she was Mrs. Applebees and would quote rules from the handbook to employees all the time; heinous obnoxious woman. Worked the dish pit one day since she short-staffed us (like always) and i had some food on my sleeve when i went back out to get a table (i was a server). I washed it off but it was dirty so i rolled up my sleeves - said i had to go home and change since it showed a tattoo and that wasnt allowed (not an ugly nor offensive
  • tattoo) and after arguing for like 5 min i had it told her to wash her own dishes, took my tips and threw the rest of my sh on the floor and never went back. 2 others left that day too. Place closed those people like a year or two later. F and specifically Marie.
  • Maxinaeus I managed a pizza shop, all day, by myself. One employee would come in around 4pm, then another around 5, and so on. All day was smooth as silk, every day. I would take orders, make orders, run the register, and prep everything for the evening. Within the first hour of having any other employee show up I would have missing pizzas, wrong pizzas, just a steady stream of screw-ups. One day,
  • about forty minutes after my first "help" arrived, I was standing there with a customer who's pizza never got made. I looked back and realized that every single order had been screwed up during that forty minutes. I gave her her pizza for free and went next door to the bar. To be clear, I was not the store manager. I had no say in hiring or firing these bafoons.
  • This person has the right idea

    Futureyou When your boss doesn't treat you like a human being.
  • SweetPing873 Unpaid overtimes, meetings outside work hours. F, i hate that place so much
  • motherclucker19 I worked at a Chipotle for 1 shift. I had to make hard shells and chips. Chips went fine. But for the taco shells you had to put the corn tortillas in this little rack. It looked sort of like UUUU then you had to put pieces on top to keep the tortillas from floating away. Fine. However after those cooked you had to remove the inner rack pieces with just a plastic gloved hand. And after each set, they
  • would get hotter and hotter retaining the heat. Then I worked the line after prep and my poor fingertips were just tortured more everytime I had to heat a burrito tortilla. By the time I left my fingers were covered with blisters. I told the manager thanks, but no thanks. And never went back.
  • Comfortable-Gur4559 Yes! We had this person in the team who was a bu y. She wasn't really my manager but she caused everyone in the team to leave. She once literally yelled at our boss and started crying in the middle of the office. She took credit for everyone's work countless times. She was extremely disliked by everyone.
  • Constantly on facebook at work but telling everyone off to work harder. I quit on the spot when she told me I am pretending to be sick to get time off. I went straight to HR. They actually did well and interviewed other employees to confirm what I was saying. They cautioned her. I know she doesn't work there anymore.
  • TLHLOiYAL Two weeks ago. True and gross corporate greed coupled with too many idiots in the onboarding training. One woman was allowed to delay the entire first morning for 5 hours, trying to figure out how to download an authenticator app. The trainers struggled to keep people engaged daily.
  • Department heads that would randomly pop into the online training without notice and ramble. Pure f sh chaos. I sent their equipment back at the end of the 7th day and no call/no showed.
  • stoodi I put my two weeks in but on my third to last day I told the boss I had a memorial I was going to be attending on Saturday and id miss half the day. he gave me an insane list of stuff I had to finish and said something along the lines of you have to finish all of this before you leave. I think I said something along the lines of I already worked 84 hrs the last 11 days so I'll consider my two weeks done. Be thankful I gave you that. Grabbed my shi and left.
