![]() ![]() ![]() On a Thursday afternoon, she gave me a Monday morning deadline for a project that would take 6-8 days to complete. Definitely the most satisfying way I've ever quit.Īfter taking a few days off work while my father was having a brain tumor removed (and still checking emails and attending conference calls from the hospital) my boss gave me a new project. Remember that? I'll be in when I get back to pick up my last check in two weeks." and hung up. I said to him, "Sounds like you're gonna have to make some sacrifices and just deal with it. So I tell him, "oh I'm on I-10 heading west right now" "Well, when are you going to get here?" "Dude, if you haven't gotten it yet, I'm not coming in." He starts going off about how he's going to have to close and work extra since he opened the store that morning, etc. I'd had enough and decided I'm not going in on my last day to close the shop, I'm starting my spring break a day early.Ībout 10 minutes into the start of my shift, I get a call from said manager asking where I was. ![]() The last two weeks go the smoothest I've ever worked there, that manager trying everything to get me to stay and I keep saying no while he decides to retaliate in small, irritating ways. I've had this trip planned for months and you can't even ask if it's okay to cancel my trip." That week was about three weeks out, so I made a snap decision then and there and replied, "No, you're gonna have to make the sacrifice, I'm giving you my two weeks. You're just going to have to deal with it". I approached the store manager with the schedule and my written approval of time off request and was like "What the f**k, dude?" He then proceeded to tear up my request in front of me, and said "we don't have enough people right now, so you're gonna have to make some sacrifices. The schedule came out for the week I had requested off and was surprised to see myself on the schedule almost every day that week. Fast forward to March, they hired and fired three people in the same week, so it became apparent staffing was an issue. Had the time approved in writing and that was that. Well, a couple months before I was planning on leaving to go to school in a different city, they were having an issue with hiring and firing new people because they kept hiring anyone with a pulse regardless of how many brain cells were between their ears.īack in January, I had requested the time for spring break off, as I was planning a surf trip out to California. Terrible managers, lazy co-workers for pretty much minimum wage. Definitely put up with a fair amount of s**t for the year and a half I worked there. I worked at a well-known pizzeria in my city for awhile when I was younger. I’ll never forget how freeing that feeling was I walked to a nearby Wendy’s in the snow and waited for my dad to pick me up. After about five minutes of attempting to serve the customers in the store, I walked into his office and told him I was out. When i struggled to identify their order, my boss grabbed one of the giant wooden pizza spatulas, swung it full force, and shattered it over one of the ovens. ![]() Problem was, this person didn’t know the order, and claimed that it was under their name. Twenty minutes later, they sent someone else in to pick it up. During this time, the same customer left the store to wait in the car. I got their name and told them it would be about twenty minutes. The straw that broke the camels back happened on a busy Friday night. One time, when I went slightly off script on a phone order, he mocked me while I continued to handle the call. My boss was a constant source of stress for me as he was controlling, rude, and just downright degrading. I worked at a pizza parlor for about a year in high school. ![]()
