Dude's Boss Cuts Promised Hours, Fights Back With Contract

Getting lied to sucks. Getting lied to by your boss is some serious business. Some of the most satisfying work stories come from people defying their incompetent and oppressive bosses by just following the rules, like this guy whose boss told him to guard a spill, so he did it for hours. Here are some work memes to get through the grind.

All was good until the summer got close and he offered me full time for the summer ended which I gladly took. Less than two weeks in to the summer he changed my hours back to part time. I hadn't thought about getting the temporary fulltime thing in writing as he seemed like a trustwor

    Text - It made no sense as I did a good job and helped out with things my contract didn't mention when I had the time as I get bored quickly. I found out that even though he have years of experience in the field he had massively over spent on the wage bill and had to cut down to avoid getting fired by the head office. When I voiced my concern over this his only response "I'm only obliged to give you 20 hour a week, as the contract state" I wanted to chew him out verbally but I kept my cool and d

    Text - One clause stated that my responsibilities was unloading the trucks, take care of the stock room and keep the shelfs stocked. Another mentioned that I shouldn't do other tasks as their insurance only covered me for the specific areas I was meant to work Next day he told me to help out the cashiers as the lines were long. "Sorry, can't do. As the contract states that isn't part of my job here and I should refrain from doing that. You can find it in my contract as clause 9a and 9b"

    Text - He was fuming, face totally red and he just walked away without saying shit. Another thing I had noticed in my contract is that besides my 30 min lunch break I had a 10 minute break I could take when I wanted so I gave him 5 minutes, walked into his office and told him I was taking my 10 minute break. "What are you talking about? You only have one break and that's for lunch" "My contract says otherwise. It's in clause 10." When I got back from the break he asked me to clean something up o

    Text - "Sorry, can't do. Clause 9a & 9b prevents me from doing it" Next day a costumer asked for help with something "Sorry, can't do. It's not my job. Find someone else" My boss heard about this and yelled at me but I managed to stay calm and answered with the clauses that prevented me from helping the costumer. Legally I was in the right and he couldn't do shit but I could see the hatred in his eyes. I was still on a trial period which meant he could fire me with only 24 hours notice but I cou

    Text - At the last week of summer he had to fire one with suspend another for stealing from the store. It was the perfect time to quit and leave him badly undermanned for the week. 24 hours and 1 minutes before my next shift I sent him my resignation before I sent a message to my coworkers about how they should remember to take all their breaks and not violate their contract by doing stuff they aren't allowed to do. I heard it gave him a little chaos when people followed my advice.
