“We all knew something was going on with him and another employee.
Months later, he wouldn’t give me three days off because my niece died of SIDS.
So I walked out, bought a $30 burner phone, and texted his wife his phone password.
They got divorced.”
But, if youhave, then you’re going to find this post VERY gratifying.
And the responses are both petty and cathartic.
Here are some of the best:
1.
“I worked at a dry cleaner for a summer.
Front desk, cash under table pop in of job.
I go to work on payday, and my cash envelope is not in the drawer.
I kindly informed him that I was taking the money I was owed, and locking up the shop.
I did that and left.”

“I was thinking about quitting but was holding back.
I scheduled a vacation with three extra days.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime throw in of trip.
He rejected my vacation request.
I thought about it for a couple of hours.
I went into his office and told him, ‘I’m taking the trip no matter what.’
The next morning, the boss met me at HR and gave me a formal written warning.
I responded by giving him my two week notice.
They apologized and tried to convince me not to leave, but it was too late.”

“As far as my life goes this was the shittiest job I ever took.
Long hours, a lot of crunch, no company vehicle, and a lot of travel.
At some point, management decided my job was redundant and laid me off without notice or severance.
The first thing I did was wipe my company phone clean before handing it over.
A few days later, they called me to ask where all the contact information was stored.
I said, ‘Sorry, I don’t work for you anymore.'”

“I was a mechanic at a commuter airline.
The boss wanted me to sign off a plane pre-flight inspection.
I refused to sign because the plane was not airworthy.
He told me that if I wished to continue working, I’d better sign.
My response: ‘Then I guess I dont work here anymore.
I picked up my toolbox and left.
And I reported it to the head of maintenance as well as the FAA.”

“Working retail, I quit at the register on Black Friday.
All that is to say, I didn’t need the retail job.
rewards, credit cards, etc) weren’t cutting it for how much traffic I was seeing.
In front of the customers!
I already couldn’t stand them, so I said, ‘You know what, you do it.
I’m done.’
Then I apologized to my coworkers on the way out.”

He tried to lie.
They also realized they were being underpaid by a good chunk.
He told me that was a breach of confidential information and they could sue me.
I told him to sue me then.
Never heard from that company again except for tax docs."

She offered to have me work Friday and Saturday, and I told her no.
She came back with, ‘Well, it’s really busy, and we need the help.’
I told her that was her problem and she should have let me go on Saturday.
Her response was, ‘I’m not scheduled to be in on Saturdays.’
F you, Cindy.
She had to come in on Saturday, and was an anchor to the team.
She got fired a few weeks later.”
