End of April this year, literally asked another teams manager if they needed help but I didn’t want to handle users if they could help it. They took it the wrong way (???) and their manager brought in my manager and I was termed for being “unprofessional”. Almost 6 years with this org. New job is so much better with a pay bump on top of it.
I had a panic attack at work and a coworker heard me cursing through tears.
In fairness, I’m sure hearing variations on “fuck damn ass piss shit fuck fuck” over and over was annoying.
Man, fuck that coworker. I’m sorry that happened to you.
🥰 I got a better paying job after that - only downside is the commute.
How trash of a person must you be to
-
see someone at work having an obvious panic attack and instead of helping, “giving them out” (if it can even be called that in this case) to your boss
-
fire someone after the previous cunt told you about a coworkers panic attack
I hope both of them learn what it feels like to be human someday and they won’t be able to sleep for it

I shit all over the manager (figuratively) in front of everybody after one of their outbursts.
Full disclosure: This was at a fast food restaurant I applied for a job at with the intent of fucking with 2 of the shittiest managers I’ve ever witnessed after stopping for a burger one time. Did it on a whim and it was quite a bit of fun. 10/10, would recommend. Plus, I got paid to do it.
What does this mean, to figuratively shit all over someone? Like jumping on the counter and acting it out?
If you’re seriously asking, it means to show superiority.
I was serious, I’ve never heard it used in…that way is all.
So they said they are the better boss?
They got called out on all their bullshit, in front of the staff they were trying to take advantage of.
It’s more “showing them who the boss is”
I’m so disappointed in the fact that you didn’t literally shit over the manager. My disappointment is immesurable, and my day is ruined. (But the manager’s dignity would’ve been ruined if you did shit over him/her.)
It was a her and I’m not into pooping on people. Still, I understand your disappointment, she was an asshole.
Then shitting on them would have come naturally. Wtf.
shit THROUGH them
I believe this should qualify as community service.
First job I wasn’t experienced enough (kitchen porter at a busy restaurant).
Next and last one my coworker was going to sue the boss for sexual assault and part of the crew including her were planning on suing for laboral exploitation (false contracts, unpaid hours, etc). The boss heard about it and fired us and threatened to sue us for bullshit (for staying after closing drinking, it was a pub so is something normal and some coworkers that were there but didn’t want to sue didn’t have any problem).
I told my boss that I was going to have to reduce my hours back to weekends only because college was starting back up again which meant I couldn’t do week day shifts, so they put me down for two mid week shifts and didn’t tell me about them, then they used that as an excuse to fire me.
I’m not a lawyer, but that sounds like classic “constructive dismissal”, which qualifies for unemployment in most states. Of course, you’d have to fight for it, which as a college student, would’ve probably been too expensive and time-consuming. Sorry about the shit boss.
Pretty sure they’d get rejected for unemployment (at least in my state) as you’re required to have open availability in order to get it.
(Replying from alt instance cause main one is down)
I’m in the UK and it was a dodgy cash in hand job at a chippy with no actual contract, so I didn’t really have any way to fight against it if I had wanted to keep the job anyway.
Even if I had a way to fight against it I was technically too young for the job and my car didn’t have the right insurance to do it because of that so I didn’t want any extra attention. I got through the college year and got decent grades though so it all worked out alright in the end.
I had several bosses like that until my favorite boss of all time. We worked retail in a college town and so she expected this. Every semester she would sit us down and have us write out our availability for the new semester, and then she would give us all set schedules. It made everyone’s lives so easy.
Managers like yours are just lazy and can’t plan ahead, it’s such an avoidable problem if you plan just the tiniest bit
I finally made a vague comment pushing back against my boss’s fucking unhinged conspiracy theories and shitty beliefs after being forced to hear him spout it for nearly a year.
“Wow, Wayne. I thought you were against the government regulating what people should do with their bodies. Huh… but okay.”
He turned purple, didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day, and never put me on the schedule after that.
Their entire business closed down a few months ago. I feel bad for were the ladies working there & my one co-worker. They were all part of the same church/religion, and they all basically cowered before Wayne. Wayne was an asshole who treated them all terribly. He was just mad that I didn’t let him treat me the same way.
They also didn’t want to give me more than 18 hours per week or raise my pay up from 12$ an hour for the highly specialized job I was doing.
Good riddance, Wayne.
Must… maintain… illogical… cognitive dissonance… 🤯
“Rules for thee, but not for me!”
Oh man this the thing that pisses me off so much. It became so abundantly clear during covid. “Stay inside and maintain social distance everyone, while I have my cocktail party chortle chortle”
Worst part of this too is when they get COVID and its the most mild case ever, cementing their shitting attitude about it being a “cold at worst.”
Nah. This dude literally had a “mysterious heart attack” during the pandemic and never connected the dots. He survived. Literally blamed it on people who were “vaccine shedding”.
Him and his wife also lamented on how many friends of theirs had died during covid, but always found an excuse to blame literally anything else but the pandemic.
Guy went so far as to make fun of a man who came into the shop wearing a mask. The man’s wife was battling cancer at home.
company was a start up and they didn’t find any funds for 2023. the option was, work for free / “stocks” or be fired.
at least i’m getting unemployment.
If it happens, it will be because of ADHD

No can do Elon. I mean, random Internet person.
Come on, this place is totally anonymous. Plus you already got fired, so what are they gonna do?
Yeah unfortunately anonymity doesn’t really work when you essentially dox yourself to exactly the people you don’t want finding out about it by listing your exact circumastances and the exact same picture you originaly posted. If anyone previously involved happens across the post, they’ll know exactly who it is.
Lol that said I’m deleting this shit.
Send me the fucking jail for the paperwork I signed saying I wouldn’t do it again. Lol.
I refused to return to office.
I might be about to get fired for that one too lol
If return-to-office announced at an all-company at my work, I’m putting in my two weeks in the chat and on our all-company slack channel.
My place isn’t shitty enough to do that (I hope) but I’ve got a lil write-up in the works to copypaste immediately in the event they are. I’m curious as to if it would inspire anyone else to leave, too.
I hope you don’t have to go back to the office, but you’re exceptionally based if you refuse.
You’re my hero.
A hero
lol
I applied for a warehouse job and the interviewer loved me and my resume and said I was hired, I just had to fill out a basic literacy test. I was studying at university so it was a silly thing to ask but he said it’s just a formality; they have to do it.
One question said “describe yourself in three sentences”. I wrote something like “I am very punctual. I enjoy stacking boxes. I’m a self starter. I always do more than asked.” Get it? It’s four sentences but they asked for three. The fourth one being about doing more than asked. Funny right?? Yeah the interviewer called me back saying head office didn’t find it funny and I was disqualified for failing the literacy test.
I figured I dodged a bullet because it must suck to work for a bunch of people without a sense of humour!
Those people would have also fired you for failing the question because you weren’t fired, you just weren’t hired. I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to have a sense of humor but they’re basically saying you’re illiterate because you can write 4 sentences instead of 3, instead of just being honest about the fact that they’re gonna micromanage you and they can already see it won’t work out because you don’t follow stupid rules to the letter.

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery.
Martin Fowler has a pretty good collection of these.
It’s hard for me to imagine this not being Amazon. That’s ridiculous.
Maybe writing two sentences would have been more than asked, since it would have been more concise. Who knows. I’m sorry that happened to you.
I think they wanted people who follow orders to the dot, not people who have a sense of humor. Sounds like a terrible place to work, but I still understand their reasoning.
Come on, that’s objectively funny, and if someone was properly manager-brained they’d just think “Ah, squeeze some more outta that one”. Lame behavior on every front
You failed the order following test.
That’s exactly what happened.
Reminds me of the places that make you take a “can you recognize basic employee norms and sufficiently lie about your personal life to your manager?” tests
You mean fill in the wrong bubbles so you sound like you don’t have what personality defect you have tests?
That’s the one!
They simply decided that intelligent person will get super bored in this position and will not perform well.
Failure to show up. I got a job out of the city that would put me up for the summer and straight up forgot to tell my boss. Should have paid me better if you didn’t want me to leave
I’m sorry, that is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Panera overnight baker. I got hired as a warm body to stop them from having to fly someone in and put them up in a hotel. I did not have any relevant qualifications. My training was rushed and done by someone who wasn’t qualified to train me. Then when I was doing the job too slowly, they decided it was cheaper to bring someone in than to keep paying me overtime. I almost cried. I’d never made more than $10 an hour prior to that job, so I thought I was making good money. I wasn’t. Panera and their overpriced shit can eat my whole ass.
Panera, at least around where I am, used to allow employees to take away discarded/unused/expired bread for personal use. But that was too nice to the poors so that ended eventually.

A lot of that is about the bread wall. You can buy the full miches, among other things, off the bread wall behind the counters. I guess they’ve found that having all that fresh bread out front increases sales (kind of like how groceries stores out fresh flowers out front and then having the produce section be right near the front door), but a lot of the big ones sell really inconsistently. Not many people are doing grocery shopping at Panera, you know? Some days the bread wall empties. Other days, it’s half full at the end of the day with bread that’s only a couple days away from being moldy or so hard it’s not edible. So they mark up the bread that’s most likely to remain on the shelf anyway and it becomes tax deductible when they donate it to a local charity. They get their pretty bread wall that sells out two days a week and they get to write off their losses.
But if they don’t donate the bread, it’s not deductible. And if you let employees take enough extra bread, they stop buying as much on their lunch breaks and you start getting empty bags arriving at local soup kitchens, which is a bad look and can jeopardize the arrangement.
Tfw you’re too poor to buy food and too rich to get it for free 😔
I have a bad case of Resting Bitch Face and I got fired from my barista job at Starbucks for not smiling enough and because I apparently “always looked like I wasn’t enjoying myself” while at work.
My “default” settings face just looks serious, sorry, I can’t help it.
I was fired from Shopko for the same thing after being promised I was hired as permanent rather than seasonal. Of course, it didn’t seem to be a problem until after the holiday rush. Clowns.
The head of the chemistry dept didnt like me and my boss got sick of being told that it was illegal to have the hazardous waste on site more than a year and that the hazardous waste company should probably be sent out to deal with it so they compiled a list of things about me that annoyed them (nitpicking) until they were satisfied that they could fire me without consequence.
I got unemployment and wanted to leave for another job anyway so the joke is on them.
