Was fired for no reason. Escorted off the property. Called a buddy of mine. That taco bell was one of the busiest in my state. Was shut down by my buddy for 2 weeks. My buddy was the lead health inspector. I made it a point to show up the day my buddy shut it down . Said hi and shook his hand. Made plans to have a few drinks later. The look of sheer hatred on my former store manager and district manager. Priceless. They knew what I did. I knew what I did. But they couldn't prove it.

I gave away thousands of dollars worth of free printers after some VP was a jerk to me. Anyone that called up wanting anything from technical support to ink was my 1000'th costumer and got the best printer we had to offer.

Number 2 was my dad. But they had to hire 10 people to do his job. They werent willing to pay him more before retirement. Now they have a department with over a million dollars payroll just to do what he did 😅

One of our kitchen managers quit after being completely fckd over week after week. Days worth of prep left for him to try and get done in a few hours. Before he left, he switched all of the kitchen staff to $200 an hour. It will be at least a week before our GM will notice he wont be able to reverse it for the previous pay period

Morale of the story: don’t under-appreciate your employees

[Jan-sntk]

Moral of all these stories - look after your staff and they look after your business. Happy staff = thriving business

All the assistant managers quit, so I stepped up to fill the void to help the store keep runining at a Burger King (franchise)... this went on for several months, then my manager went on vacation so I was acting manager from open to close the entire time... about a week before the manager came back, the regional manager came by, I asked for a promotion to match my responibilities and was told "We cannot do that, you haven't taken the management test" so I asked to take it and was told "We cannot do that, the test is out of date. Deal with it. Just after that conversation a truck order came in, and the delivery guy ripped a handsink off the wall, so while the regional manager was sitting there on the floor getting sprayed in the face with water, I threw the store keys at him and quit on the spot. The regional manager had to cover the last week of the managers vacation. The manager asked me to return, and I said "Only if I get promoted." and was told "I checked on that and they will not allow it" so I said "Then I refuse your offer to return".

I quit after a heated arguement with my Egyptian boss, I reported his ass to HR and mentioned something the boss said which started an internal investigation.
By the end of the investigation, authorites had to be called because he was illegaly in the country and was deported.
This was in the UK.

I quit a job as a cook in a restaurant the manager was a real tyrant, but before I left I took pictures of all the filthy disgusting conditions in the kitchen the bathroom, dining area and walk in reefer . I gave all that to the health department two days later they were shut down and a month later there are business . And it was such a pleasure to go in and get my final check and after I had it in my hand I told the manager that I did this the color just washed out of his face .

My story of quitting and leaving a mess to deal with. I used to work as a line cook for a fast food restaurant. One day a bus pulled into our parking lot and gave our manager a heads up that they were going to be getting roughly 300 cheese burgers and some other items. My manager knew about this 6 hours ahead of time and the coach also said they talked to the manager again 30 minutes before showing up because they were running a little early. 300 patties is nothing when you have a half hour but when your manager waits until the order is in to tell you to cook it then tries to rush you without helping I quit. I made a big show of it too. I went up to the front where the guests were and when my manager saw me they began on me telling me to get back to the grill. I had already got a chance to ask them if they called ahead so I already knew my manager had notice so I loudly replied so everyone in the store could hear me "you had plenty of heads up for this yet you stayed quiet so if you want those patties cooked your going to do it or I quit." They just said "stop this nonsense and get back to work." I took off my work shirt and put it on the counter and went back to grab my back pack. Turns out the other workers had some of the same stuff happen to them and walked with me. I felt bad for the kid who was working the register because they had stayed alone with the manager. However they were lucky enough to be young enough to not be allowed to cook things and wasn't trained in the burger making processes.

6:25 Story 8 Smart move by the manufacturer. Who better to hire as a service rep than a person who works with the equipment and knows its limitations?

I got a job with a covid task force. The place i was assigned to never opened up on the expected dates. I felt no sense of accomplishment but stayed at the time because the boss was a nice guy. He got relocated and was replaced with a rude person. The new boss was a former teacher and complete opposite of the old boss. She would Constantly stand in our way and watch over us during lunch break and yell at the office workers if they even said hi. The punch clock was a phone app but would get chewed out if we had phones on us. We also started carrying "decoy phones" (old phones we hid in the pocket and would hand them over in the morning). I was at the point of not being able to handle her sober. Last day I told her i was quitting and she was the exact reason why. I told her tomorrow is my last day. Found out a few months later she was on thin ice. Two people quit the next day, which forced her to clean until they got replacements and she became more nasty. Eventually no one wanted to work there even with a high starting wage. The company terminated their contract and she was jobless until school opened back up.

I walked out of my job of 13 years with no notice at the end of 2018 and never looked back. I realized how bad it really was after I left. I had experienced the "frog in hot water" scenario, and even though I knew it was bad, I didn't realize I was being boiled alive.

I lived on savings for a few years while I helped my Dad with dementia. Then went back to work last year working from home in a very low stress job, for more pay.

If someone offers you CENTS to come back, you laugh in their face.

In this economy that is Disrespectful to the highest degree.

Story #5... As a Domino's delivery driver I can confirm that this story although listed as a "big pizza franchise" is 100% Dominos. As soon as they said they were alone during rush with a makeline full of orders and an oven full of pizza, I knew. Chain corporations don't care about their people. It's like this at most Dominos.

I got a job working as a store manager for Dollar General early on in my management career, before I realized how horrible of a reputation they had for treating thier employees like slaves. I took over and mostly cleaned up a train wreck of a disorganized store that had a back room so clogged with stuff it wasn't funny, there were unopened boxes that had been back there for years full of products the store no longer even carried. I was almost but not all the way finished trying to get this store under control when the DM decided I was doing a great job and dropped a second store on me to clean up. This second one was seriously infested with mice and was about to be shut down by the board of health.

So now I am trying to run and manage both stores at the same time, and the second one had no assistant manager or third key. That meant I was the only one that could unlock or lock the doors and had to be there at opening and closing time every day. Meantime the DM would not allow me to hire or promote anyone else into management to help with the second store, or have the assistant from the first store help cover the second. So I am now working 7 days a week all day long, and spending a ton of time and gas driving back and forth between these 2 trying to get everything done. The day the DM showed up and screamed at me for having "too much product claimed in damages" was the final straw for me.

I had spent all day the day before hauling mouse infested bags of dog food to the dumpster as that is where they were living, eating, and breeding. There was no avoiding throwing this stuff out or claiming it as damaged, nobody wants to buy dog food bags that reek of mouse pee. The board of health had also been VERY explicit that they had been on the DM for too long about the mice already and that if the stuff wasn't gone when they inspected next they were shutting the store down as a public health risk. Despite that, she chose to SCREAM at me and write me up. We were at the first, and nicer of the two stores, standing by the cash registers when this happened. Also there were a casheir, the assistant manager, and a few customers.

I literally just got so fed up I ran out of F's to give due to being nearly a month with no day off, dealing with toxic mouse waste, and I told the DM I was quitting and tried to hand them my keys. Her response? "I don't accept that. You can't WTF? LADY are you for REAL? I tolld her her refusal to ACCEPT that I was quitting didn't mean it wasn't happening and when she still refused to take the keys I dropped them on the counter and walked out. This was plainly visible on the video cameras, you could see me offering the keys and then just dropping them. Meantime she decides to chase me into the parking lot, still screaming at me as I am attempting to leave, as if that would make me change my mind and want to stay.

Later on, all HELL breaks loose. I guess she assumed my keys were picked up by the assistant, or else she just totally forgot to wonder what happened to them, i have no clue. All I know is that the assistant told me she walked away quickly and got "very busy in the back room, hoping the DM didn't come looking for her trying to promote her to my job" lol. I was told that the store video showed a small kid coming and picking the keys up off of the counter. Later on after the store closed, a lot of people had a field day looting the place. They figured out who the kid was, but the kid claimed they had dropped the keys again later on outside the store. Whoever was on video looting wasn't the kid, the kid wasn't giving any helpful information, the parents of the kid "weren't involved" and were verifiably somelace else when the store got robbed. The store had video cameras but no alarm system. The people looting it seemed to be aware of that. They were all wearing ski masks and using the back door. There was no video of whatever vehicle they were using/loading but there must have been several or a very big one because when the assistant showed up the next day to open, the place looked visibly looted.

Meantime the second store never opened at all that morning because there was nobody to run it. So the corporate office started getting calls from people complaining the store was closed when it was supposed to be open, and were peeved that the DM hadn't even warned them there was an issue with management staffing. They were not pleased but at this point the blame looked to be on ME as the jerk. That is, until the police contacted them about the other store being robbed and looted and the facts came out that it had the same manager that had quit running both places, and it had been robbed because the DM had refused to accept and secure the keys. They were still trying to deal with the looting nightmare and sent a fill-in manager from another district to run the second place until a replacement could be found. Of course the DM told them nothing about the severity of the infestation or the coming inpection, so the new guy discovered the issue on his own but had unfortunately noticed the lack of dry dog food in the store and already ordered a bunch thinking they were just ran out. The health inspector comes by to check on progress sees more dry food being placed in the store after he specfically agreed with me to give it a bit mor etime strictly based on agreement to REMOVE all such product, and IMMEDIATELY gets p*ssed off and cites the store as a health hazzard and shuts it down.

Within a week the DM got fired due to having one store get looted for tens of thousands of dollars of stuff and the other one closed by the board of health. The funny part? Both the assistant and I knew (or could guess), based on watching the security feed from the looting incident who several of the people were, but we both just shrugged and kept quiet. Cause F*ck DG and that DM. Worst place I have ever worked by far. Last I heard the DM was being held financially liable for the loss of products stolen and being sued for the lost income of the second store.

I had a job in a chicken factory for 7 years operating the cardboards. I was always doing as I pleased knowing I'm such an important worker, but it got to a point where they put someone in charge of me that they knew everyone hates. When the bosses refused to take care of something that I needed to make it easy for all of us, I told them that they have a week (which was a vacation for the whole factory) to take care of it or else it gets messy without me. They were confident that I was replaceable by who they put in charge, but the day I stopped showing up, they wouldn't stop calling me and were begging me to come back but by then I had found a new job. The last time they called me was in spring 2019 after quitting in fall 2014. The manufacturing job that I found was shipped overseas and it was on the news, in fact it was announced from the first day I started working there but took 4 and semi years to make good their word.

I was fired from Wal-Mart and weeks later I thank the manger for being such a bad boss as I got a much better job
