“people don’t quit bad jobs, they quit bad bosses” is only true in a few cases, most of the time a shitty manager is due to a shitty job and a shitty company.
@@blastortoiseand companies are shitty because shitty people make the decision that make them that way, which, again, ties to people quit bosses, not jobs.
Story 2: So…why did the owner give Meg the title of manager? Terrible at giving information, being a victim of identity theft multiple times, doesn't know squat about a lot of things average adults know, pretty much the opposite of a good manager. My guess is that the owner just doesn't want Meg on the streets
Ikr, to me it sounds like she has some sort of mental disability and would end up on the streets in a heartbeat, but then again there are better ways to support mentally challenged people than giving them responsible jobs, so idk.
Heu... she is a danger for the shop... if she get her identity stole 3 times in the same years (and we don't know if we are at the start or the end of this one), how much info can she give about the shop itself to any caller? How much personnal info of the clients does she has access too? Info on the employee as she is a manager (she probably has access to liscence number/social security number, phone number, date of birth, contacts numbers that often include full name of the parents and other stuff like this. Her access need to be cut as soon as possible!
Story 1: Boss man: We noticed you're not going above and beyond anymore. Opie: You mean be manager without the title or pay? Not my job anymore. And don't turn on me because you messed up and hired a pretty smile with a charming personality as your manager.
Story 5: >Managers can't communicate with each other >One owner gets really hissy when OP tells him they've been injured. >A badly injured OP is more-or-less told to manage an event anyway >Loads more work on OP after another employee is fired, causing OP to work way into overtime >Is surprised when OP works overtime because of heavy workload and someone expects OP to take less time on the same amount of work. >Both owners give contradicting instructions to OP because more miscommunication >OP is eventually fired, and they fight over unemployment Yeah, I doubt this business will last long. Either one of them stops being the owner, or they fix their communication problem and bring in more employees to avoid overtime if they're so concerned about it
There should be division of responsibility. For example the place I work right now, the owner is a husband and wife, where the husband takes responsibility for marketing and the wife takes care everything else. And they don't override one another because staffs are the wife domain, while the husband busied himself with meeting big clients. He may asks staffs to do some paperwork from time to time, but never bother us with excessive works.
@@michaelgum97 It sounds good on paper for a married couple to say "we are both bosses equally" but in practise doing a tag team doesn't always work. it shouldn't be up to the employee to figure out which boss has priority.
Managers make such a huge difference. Having a good one - hard-working, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, someone you KNOW has your back, will make you want to work harder, keep you happy and motivated, and go the extra mile. THEN you get the one who doesn't know crap, is a total "yes-man," is focused on hierarchy rather than who can do what job well, doesn't ask, doesn't learn, doesn't get to know how things work, doesn't get to know what people's strengths are, moves stuff around constantly, is just incompetent - people become angry, frustrated, stressed out, and spend a lot of time and energy venting, begins to lose their passion and motivation, stops going the extra mile and does the minimum required for their job. This is what we are going through now. BEFORE the good one, we had NO manager in our facility (we had a manager who was regional for 2 facilities and she visited ours maybe once every week or two weeks) and even then, we were a fantastic team, full of respect towards each other, striving always for excellence, very little drama, and loving our jobs. In other words, we were already a good team and good boss made us even better. Bad boss came in and pretty much wrecked things.
Story 1: Rule of thumb, don't promote workers to manager position because they kissing your rear and promote the one's that are the most likely do well as a manager role and make it a probation period in order to remove them if they are not suited.
@@korbendallas5318 I was passed up for a promotion because my 'rival' in the running started selling cocaine to our boss. That place went to utter trash in less than a month. Rules of thumb may be common sense, but common sense isn't common.
When you're in a situation like that and get fired, you ask for a meeting with a case manager or supervisor at the unemployment office. You give them copies of the stuff that you did, tell them about the staffing, the miscommunication between the bosses, everything. ESPECIALLY the crap about you working too much overtime. And that they didn't help you with the stuff. That way the supervisor can recommend that the city/state revoke their business license. Just in case they try to fight the unemployment.
I worked at a job where I did almost everything, the scheduling, onboarding, ordering uniforms and supplies, all HR duties related to hiring new employees, and payroll, by myself. I asked for $2 an hour more and was told the company couldn't afford it, so I found another job and quit. I went back 3 months later to visit and found out they hired 3 people to do my job at the same rate, each, they had paid me. So you can't afford $2 an hour but you can afford $20 an hour? Needless to say they are no longer in business.
They really take it for granted when people actually WANT to do their work well ! Instead of rewarding the effort and free work that they profited from for a long time, they punish you and tell you to f... off. It is always so weird to me, but maybe it works "often enough" ? Although... it doesn't... Okay maybe these kinds of people are just greedy jerks who have no compassion and only want stuff but never think about others.
Story 3: Mr. Smith probably recognized OP’s mental agility, for him to come up with that malicious compliance. Figured he was teachable in the ways of business.
Last one - especially in Brasil, a judge acting like she was is forgetting that there are other judges around. And sometimes the lawyers you deal with get to become judges. So you piss off enough other judges ... basically, she did the whole FAFO scenario.
Story 2, as someone who used to do scambaiting (most scambaiters call scammers, I would wait for them to call me, then I would make their lives miserable..) I have heard of this happening a lot!
"Shortly after that, they fired another employee and gave me her workload. THEN they chose me to do a very long running event ..." Because they now knew OP was the only employee they needed, since they would just keep coming in no matter how horrendous the situation was. These people may be pure evil, but they're generally not completely stupid.
Story 2: Her brother should keep her from knowing her own identifying information next time. She isn't smart enough to keep it safe. And I bet she'd forget it quickly enough that there would be no problem if he told her not to think about it, he'd take care of it the whole time. 😂
Snubbed for manager story: Hire someone else besides your manager in everything but title and pay for the actual position and expect them to stay? Idiots! Stolen identity story: It's amazing she didn't just give away her brother's store. Pizza story: Sometimes it takes even great leaders getting a kick in the ass to realize they're in the wrong, Payroll story: That boss sounds like he enjoyed power trips. Too bad he wasn't as good or needed as he thought. LOL Managing events story: Now you know why the original 3 employees left. Judge story: Sometimes it pays to listen to "the little people".
Story 1 - Yeah I don’t blame OP for leaving that place after her idiot boss gave the Manager’s position to someone else who just brown nosed their way to get it. And seriously, telling OP to write an essay about why she should work there like a teacher telling a troubled student. What is this grade school?
She has to be a quad triple blonde because a normal blonde would have more intelligence than her And this has been the third instance Think need to change the Quad triple blonde to six times quad triple blonde
I went to a class one time on how to get a job. The instructor asked us what were the most important benefits a company could provide. After we named all the of the usual benefits we could come up with, he said we hadn’t named the most important of all. As we sat there puzzled, he said a great boss. No matter how many benefits are offered, if you hate going to work everyday, and are miserable, it’s just not worth it.
I have a quick malicious compliance story. Needed job as 19 yr. old, got one but in drapery and bedspread dept. of big department store. Decided to make the best of it and learned that dept inside and out. Couple comes in, I greet them but they asked if someone older can wait on them. Sure thing, I call Rachel to help who was older and looked like she worked there for years. Everything they asked, Rachel had to ask me since she had only worked there maybe a couple of weeks. It was delicious watching the compliance of “someone older”.😂
You need to remember: the fundamental meaning of an average is half the data points are lower than the aforementioned amount while the other half are higher. This is the same for IQ.
@@JamesDavy2009 Only if you consider the average to be the median. Though in a balanced system all three averages should be the same, given that people can have over 200 IQ but can't have under 0 mode would be the most accurate measurement method, as the average is between 90-110. So really the issue is that the average person is already stupid. And some people are somehow even dumber.
Have you ever noticed how many scammer emails are really, really poorly written? Multiple spelling and grammatical errors, obvious logical inconsistencies, etc.? Some security / antiscam person (I don't recall who) pointed out that these were features, not bugs. Intelligent and street wise people (not the same populations) would realize such an email was a scam attempt and would delete it without opening. People like the woman in Story 2 would not have the appropriate error-detection brainware, open it and have a high probability of responding to and cooperating with the scammer. . I.e., scammer emails are crafted to filter out the more difficult to scam people, creating a self-selecting population of responders who would be easier and more lucrative to scam, lowering their costs of doing business and increasing their payoff per scamee rate. Features, not bugs.

Re: Story 1 - Just write down the lyrics and play the song _Two Minutes Notice_ from _Helluva Boss._ Re: Story 2 - She's too stupid to be fit for any job!
My favourite dumb boss story was when we were on a business trip. The weather was rainy, but we got to the airport fine and were on our way, after a few minutes my boss who had been looking out the window said, "Why is it always sunny above the clouds?"
Story 3: Manager realized op followed his instructions, did some soul searching, realized he (manager) made some poor choices, and actually changed his own rules. Mr Smith shows how managers should be.
I read an entitled people bad boss story where the employee’s boss got demoted but wasn’t fired and the new boss who was former military. And there was a meeting to meet everyone and the new boss told the employees, while looking at the old boss, his background and a saying he heard from an officer tell a room full of people: “As a boss if you take care of your employees they’ll take care of you. But if you don’t take care of your employees they’ll take care of you.”
The last thing you want to do when an employee is quiet quitting is giving them a homework assignment, especially if it's to write an essay about how much you love working there.
Story 3... I wonder if the manager had vented to someone, and then asked some pointed questions... which had him rethinking on how he was running his company... and instead of removing employee perks and treating them as if they didn't know anything, treated them as valued assets.
Story 4; the OP didn't destroy the boss's life, the boss did it to theirself. They put the OP in a new position, didn't train them, called them incompetent for the job they weren't trained for, and then ordered them not to do a large chunk of it. The OP later warned the boss's new employer about them.
The 1st story reminded me about my aunt. She lived with her parents her entire life, except for 6 months when she was married. My grandmother, *literally,* did everything for her during her entire life. She worked in my grandfather’s dress store, and when he retired, she got a job at a high end department store, and was very successful. She was around 52 when my grandmother died, and 55 when my grandfather died. She was lost then. She didn’t know how to do anything, except work. Didn’t know how to do anything that had to do with household chores, or really just taking care of herself. She completed suicide a few years later, being a lonely, sad woman. They did a disservice to her, by not teaching her how to be independent at all. She could have still lived with them, but they needed to teach her some life skills. 😢
S2: my grandmas identity and card info was stolen 6 times last year!!! Needless to say, she's stopped buying stuff from scam sites on facebook and she's deleted temu 😂😂
Story 2: At that point where they ask you to take the course and wait a few months- Agree to take the course, but don’t agree to wait. Tell them if you aren’t given the title and pay of manager immediately after the course, you will quit. And if they refuse to let you take the course at that point, quit and call your friend with the competitor to get you an interview.
Oh hell no !!! Plans change and you forgot to tell me that you put me on the schedule? Yeah no that doesn't work for me and I will not be working for you TODAY!! NOT HAPPENING. Plans may change but in this situation your mistake does not have anything to do with me you made the mistake so you will be working that shift because that's what happens when managers FAIL to ACTUALLY "MANAGE"! What would you have done if I failed to call the store for directions and just called tomorrow? ( I don't know what state this op is or was working in, but in New York you have to have at least a 24-hour notification for a schedule change, that's just the way it is you can't just write someone's name in on the schedule after the schedule is already been posted and then say well you're on the schedule so you need to come into work! No I'm sorry that's not how this works😂😂 I would have thanked him for the directions and said they will be very useful tomorrow when I come in on my scheduled shift!! However as this is my day off I will be going to sleep now so I can be all perky tomorrow to work my SCHEDULED SHIFT! (keep saying the word SCHEDULED extremely emphasized!) THEN END THE CALL WITH " hopefully it won't be busy tonight and you'll have an easy shift anyway I've got to go I need to get caught up on my sleep I'll talk to you tomorrow good night !!" and then hang up the phone 🫵🏻🤳 💢CLICK!!💢
In story 1, it seems the newbie thought OP would keep going above and beyond even though newbie would hold title, salary and authority, and the owners thought they had such a devoted employee that made it so they did have to exert any effort in owning and running a business that they would be able to live forever on OP's labor. I wonder how they explained to future employers that they deserve a management position because they know how to hire people who will do their work for them
It really makes me differentiate people between people who are nice to you vs people who are good to you. So many people treat others nicely, but not well. Such a slight but important difference to look at, to decide how you treat others.
With story 2, I’m genuinely concerned for Meg. Like… is she ok? I get she may just be stupid and spoiled, but being so ready to give away her SSN, address and phone number… like, does she have an issue? Not to say “oh she’s stupid, she must have a problem”, but the amount of things she’s struggling with, it sounds like she needs proper help if she’s gonna function on her own.
Story 1: we noticed you aren't going above and beyond anymore My response: well I noticed YOU aren't going avove and beyond for my paycheck so I don't know why I should go above and beyond for your profits
Story 5 - OP should have reported her employers to the relative authorities after they made her work despite having been assaulted ! That’s a really crappy thing to do !
Overtime Story: When I got Reprimanded for working too much Overtime, I'd have written out a complete list of my Current Tasks, handed it to the Boss and asked him "OK, if I'm not allowed to work Overtime anymore, which of these Tasks are you giving to someone else to reduce my workload to something that can be done in a normal shift, oh and please understand that whichever Employee you shift my work to is going to need Overtime as they are just as swamped with work as I am...If you don't want anyone to do Overtime, you WILL need to hire more people to handle the total workload because ALL of us are severely Overworked and need Overtime to get everything done..." Yah, that would likely have gotten me yelled at, but if they Fired me, I'd called the Department of Labor to file a Complaint about being overworked, Reprimanded for too much Overtime and then fired when I explained WHY I was doing so much Overtime...I suspect the DoL would have an unpleasant conversation with both Owners about Illegal Retaliation and Wrongful Dismissal... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 1: Stuff like this is sadly way to common... companies try to implement and force this "we are a family here" on their employees, so they feel the need to work harder "i mean you surely dont want to dissapoint your family right?". Its just scummy. I once worked in an office like that, the chef of my department constantly called me off workhours and wanted to talk to me about work and his privatelife to guilttrip me into stuff... really creepy and unprofessional
Story 2: Meg is very lucky that OP is a decent person because OP could have scammed Meg/store out of money/stock/etc. Like OP could have typed up a repair cost sheet & post it in Meg's office, but have the prices on that list be $5 to $25 more and then use that extra money to get an item from the store that they could resell or if OP handled the money they could take the extra money out from the daily cash.
Story #1: Decades ago, as a woman in her 20's at the time, I worked for an 18-table restaurant/ice cream fountain place. Table and take out service. I was the cook, and we had a very large and varied menu, actually, and ice cream was made on premises twice weekly, and you could watch him making it in the glass walled room. It was cool to watch I guess. Not the point though. Anyway, the couple that owned the place at the time, he made the ice cream and helped wherever needed at the time, but so-so at all of the jobs. She was the same, just like her husband, seriously slow, and didn't make ice cream...but did kitchen stuff more but not really better. Well, that night we were slammed three times over. Lines literally out the door, and what ended as a 3 1/2 hour freaking rush. I am fast...ADHD overload, really. Plus, if I had my tapes playing...YES I'm old....I could get in a groove and sail for hours if left alone and out of my way. I had orders waiting for picking up and THREE waitresses AND to go orders, but I was belting out the orders. AND they both came into the kitchen giving ME crap because food is sitting under lamps getting 'old'!!! WTF?! I said "I'm fine...but why can't three waitstaff not keep up with one cook and 2 fountain people?" They gave me shit, because they knew I was right but couldn't bitch out waitstaff in front of customers, can they? The only ones in back were me and dish people, and it's not their fault. Both of them at the same time, in the small kitchen. So I got pissed off and told them..and yes verbatim, "Oh fuck off! I'm the fastest cook you've ever had and you KNOW it! I do the prep, I do the counting for you to order, I do the opening and have done the closings, and YOU say this is MY fault?! YOU Fucking cook then! I never got a break yet and I've been on duty 5 damn hours! That's illegal!" Oh...btw...my voice has that tone that carries even when I'm not trying for it to do so. I literally went to the little table in the corner by the dish area and office and sat my butt down and crossed my arms. They obviously had to work the kitchen and deal with me later...orders were piling up, food was on the grill, the griddle, the fryers, and the prep board. After that rush finally ended, he came back and very quietly said that his wife would like to speak to me in the kitchen, please. I went to the kitchen and it was a blazing wreck! OMG I've never seen such a mess. Horrifying, really. OMG...I can't...and the walk-in...oh Lordie. Sauces on door handles, lettuce, grated cheese, chopped egg everywhere. the griddle with burning meat and cheese bits, fryers floating with fall-off pieces...everything empty and not refilled. Spilled salad dressing in the walk-in floor, too. And much more. EVERYTHING I alone manage to do, they could not manage with BOTH of them working together! I took literally a minute just looking around, opening doors, assessing the 'damage', saying nothing. She said nothing either. Just stood watching me. Finally done looking at the entire mess everywhere, I walked over to her, and she looked at me without a word. I just gave her a look that says 'I see you made 20X the mess I ever did even on the busiest shifts' without a word. Her expression shifted to a spot over my shoulder and I knew her husband was behind me. Her gaze shifted to the ground momentarily and then back to my eyes. She then spoke the quietest I've ever heard her, and said, "I'll clean this up. It's not fair to ask you to do it, since you didn't make it. Please just help the dishwasher if you don't mind, while I do." I just said, "I'll clean it up, since the stocking and closing still has to be done and I clean then anyway." SHE went and helped the dishwasher catch up. The husband went into the office to do some paperwork. Neither of them EVER complained or yelled at me ever again, no matter what was going on. They KNEW what I said was the truth. And it was. I've always been fast if it was needed. ADHD, remember? Talked fast, too. LOL Even in high school working Burger King...I was the fastest on the boards whilst also being made correctly and neatly, and a cocky male manager also got schooled unintentionally by me when HE yelled at me years before the above incident. He was blaming ME for food not showing up, when in fact someone took the regular burgers instead of the special order ones they ordered. So everyone said race to see who is actually the better burger maker..and I always won and he always got pissed then stomped off to the office. I just know I'm a fast worker if needed. That's my sort of Karen bosses..who rehabilitated. LOL

*Story 1-* My hubby has had _tons_ of chances to be the warehouse lead where he works. He’s the best worker there, works tons of over time, and has tons of experience. _But,_ has *never* taken the position. He doesn’t want it!
My sister use to work for Papa John's Pizza for years ago and she worked there for YEARS I believe she was a shift manager and she was good at her job. Every now and then she and the other employees would arrange a trade for food at another restaurant (like a couple pizza for subway to get some subway sandwiches in return).
Separating the Checks Story: Assuming this happened in Canada or the USA, OP was foolish...They should have called the State Department of labor when Boss changed the Schedule without warning or notifying OP about the change and then forcing OP to go in and work tired...In EVERY province and State is is LAW that Schedules MUST be posted 7 or 14 (it varies by area) Days before the start of the 1st shift of that Schedule and once posted MAY NOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL EMPLOYEES AFFECTED (so if you and a coworker want to swap shifts, the consent notice must have the signatures of you, the coworker AND the Shift Manager for it to be Legal)... The DoL would have ripped Manager multiple new Waste Disposal Orifices as they read him the Riot Act, then slapped him with several Fines...

Story 2 - Wow, how is this woman still alive? Yes, she should be living safely at home, and yes her parents/family need respite from caring for her etcetera. But this is NOT the way to do it. Using a family business as a form of adult day care and expecting your employees to “babysit” is wrong on so many levels. If Meg’s brother was there in the store and he took responsibility for her himself, then that might work. But to simply drop her off and then leaving, letting her think that she is now the boss….You’re just asking for trouble. They thought they would save money this way and look how that backed for them 😳 Next time, if they need a break, find an adult respite facility or organisation. That way Meg will be safe, she won’t have her identity stolen AGAIN and your business won’t be affected. The cost of a respite facility is looking a lot more reasonable right about now I think 😂 Or, if Meg doesn’t qualify for assistance or adult respite support services, then she needs to find a hobby or attend school or some description - preferably one that offers classes in Life Skills. OP is a phone technician NOT an adult babysitter.
Did anyone noticed that dark fluff sounded a little bit down in today's video? I hope you are okay, it seems like you are feeling under the weather... Sending a hug from Costa Rica
If I worked for that Child-Manager, I would get her parent's phone number and call them every time their child decided to do something stupid. "Hey, yeah, it's me. Your daughter is giving out her SSN, CC Number, and all kinds of personal info over the phone. Thought you'd want to know." Calling the parents of your manager is the ultimate power play.
1st story - there was this custom in the old communist times, that when you did something wrong, you had to write an expiation. I see someone has been following the best example.
Story number one, I'm sorry but Opie was so naive it's not even funny because the owner said oh can you wait a little while till all the new staff is trained? I would have looked them dead in the face and said yeah but who's going to train them and when they said you I would have said oh well that's a manager's job isn't it? So unless you pay me to do that no I will not be training the new ones coming in also what makes me think that you're going to keep me on after I train everyone you no longer need me right? So no give me the position in the pay now or this is my 2 weeks notice and you can train them yourself and I'm also going to stop doing all the duties that fall under the managerial duties! You know, things like stocking and doing paperwork and all that stuff that a manager does that you should be doing as we have no manager but I have been doing so I'm going to stop doing all of that if you're not going to pay me to do it
Story 2: That wasn't identity theft. That was identity gift.

Yup
I saw this before hearing the story and I had the huh face. Afterwards I guffawed so loud I scared my husband. 😂😂😂😂
I refuse to believe a person can really be this stupid.

Yeah, I doubt this business will last long. Either one of them stops being the owner, or they fix their communication problem and bring in more employees to avoid overtime if they're so concerned about it
The owners need to have the better business bureau sicked on them and also sued by OP. There has got to be several labor laws broken in this story.
There should be division of responsibility. For example the place I work right now, the owner is a husband and wife, where the husband takes responsibility for marketing and the wife takes care everything else. And they don't override one another because staffs are the wife domain, while the husband busied himself with meeting big clients. He may asks staffs to do some paperwork from time to time, but never bother us with excessive works.
Miscommunication requires there to be communication, and to me sounds like the two owners weren't communicating at all on these decisions.

Managers make such a huge difference. Having a good one - hard-working, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, someone you KNOW has your back, will make you want to work harder, keep you happy and motivated, and go the extra mile. THEN you get the one who doesn't know crap, is a total "yes-man," is focused on hierarchy rather than who can do what job well, doesn't ask, doesn't learn, doesn't get to know how things work, doesn't get to know what people's strengths are, moves stuff around constantly, is just incompetent - people become angry, frustrated, stressed out, and spend a lot of time and energy venting, begins to lose their passion and motivation, stops going the extra mile and does the minimum required for their job. This is what we are going through now.
BEFORE the good one, we had NO manager in our facility (we had a manager who was regional for 2 facilities and she visited ours maybe once every week or two weeks) and even then, we were a fantastic team, full of respect towards each other, striving always for excellence, very little drama, and loving our jobs. In other words, we were already a good team and good boss made us even better. Bad boss came in and pretty much wrecked things.
Story 1: Rule of thumb, don't promote workers to manager position because they kissing your rear and promote the one's that are the most likely do well as a manager role and make it a probation period in order to remove them if they are not suited.
Especially because, the reason they kiss your ass is because it’s their ONLY job skill.
You think?

When you're in a situation like that and get fired, you ask for a meeting with a case manager or supervisor at the unemployment office. You give them copies of the stuff that you did, tell them about the staffing, the miscommunication between the bosses, everything. ESPECIALLY the crap about you working too much overtime. And that they didn't help you with the stuff. That way the supervisor can recommend that the city/state revoke their business license. Just in case they try to fight the unemployment.
Story 4, you cannot be punished for not working a day you weren't scheduled or notified for. I wouldn't have signed the write up and escalated it
then you get fired two weeks later for “no reason”
@@tacticallemon7518pretty sure that even in "at will employment" states, this would be c9nsidere retaliation, which is illegal.

I worked at a job where I did almost everything, the scheduling, onboarding, ordering uniforms and supplies, all HR duties related to hiring new employees, and payroll, by myself. I asked for $2 an hour more and was told the company couldn't afford it, so I found another job and quit. I went back 3 months later to visit and found out they hired 3 people to do my job at the same rate, each, they had paid me. So you can't afford $2 an hour but you can afford $20 an hour? Needless to say they are no longer in business.
Boy, do I relate to you! Bosses are so narrow-minded. Been there, done that. And I am happy I was gone also.
They really take it for granted when people actually WANT to do their work well !
Instead of rewarding the effort and free work that they profited from for a long time, they punish you and tell you to f... off.
It is always so weird to me, but maybe it works "often enough" ? Although... it doesn't... Okay maybe these kinds of people are just greedy jerks who have no compassion and only want stuff but never think about others.

I went to a class one time on how to get a job. The instructor asked us what were the most important benefits a company could provide. After we named all the of the usual benefits we could come up with, he said we hadn’t named the most important of all. As we sat there puzzled, he said a great boss. No matter how many benefits are offered, if you hate going to work everyday, and are miserable, it’s just not worth it.
That instructor knew what he was talking about right there. I’ll bet he went through his fair share of bad bosses before finding his job
I have a quick malicious compliance story. Needed job as 19 yr. old, got one but in drapery and bedspread dept. of big department store. Decided to make the best of it and learned that dept inside and out.
Couple comes in, I greet them but they asked if someone older can wait on them. Sure thing, I call Rachel to help who was older and looked like she worked there for years.
Everything they asked, Rachel had to ask me since she had only worked there maybe a couple of weeks. It was delicious watching the compliance of “someone older”.😂
Story 2: I was laughing at her reaction to identity theft. I was wheezing when she had already fallen for it TWICE that year.
Story 2: So that's how scammers actually manage to make money. It is genuinely incomprehensible to me for anyone to be that stupid.
You need to remember: the fundamental meaning of an average is half the data points are lower than the aforementioned amount while the other half are higher. This is the same for IQ.
@@JamesDavy2009 Only if you consider the average to be the median. Though in a balanced system all three averages should be the same, given that people can have over 200 IQ but can't have under 0 mode would be the most accurate measurement method, as the average is between 90-110. So really the issue is that the average person is already stupid. And some people are somehow even dumber.
@@IGSA101 Found the statistics major. (Well done, BTW! :) )
Have you ever noticed how many scammer emails are really, really poorly written? Multiple spelling and grammatical errors, obvious logical inconsistencies, etc.? Some security / antiscam person (I don't recall who) pointed out that these were features, not bugs. Intelligent and street wise people (not the same populations) would realize such an email was a scam attempt and would delete it without opening. People like the woman in Story 2 would not have the appropriate error-detection brainware, open it and have a high probability of responding to and cooperating with the scammer.
.
I.e., scammer emails are crafted to filter out the more difficult to scam people, creating a self-selecting population of responders who would be easier and more lucrative to scam, lowering their costs of doing business and increasing their payoff per scamee rate. Features, not bugs.

Story 3: Manager realized op followed his instructions, did some soul searching, realized he (manager) made some poor choices, and actually changed his own rules. Mr Smith shows how managers should be.
I read an entitled people bad boss story where the employee’s boss got demoted but wasn’t fired and the new boss who was former military. And there was a meeting to meet everyone and the new boss told the employees, while looking at the old boss, his background and a saying he heard from an officer tell a room full of people: “As a boss if you take care of your employees they’ll take care of you. But if you don’t take care of your employees they’ll take care of you.”
The last thing you want to do when an employee is quiet quitting is giving them a homework assignment, especially if it's to write an essay about how much you love working there.
I'd have written the lyrics to _Two Minutes Notice_ with certain names modified.
Story 3... I wonder if the manager had vented to someone, and then asked some pointed questions... which had him rethinking on how he was running his company... and instead of removing employee perks and treating them as if they didn't know anything, treated them as valued assets.
Story 2: ...makes stones look smart!😂😂😂😂😂
The number of times I hear about bad bosses, and start counting illegal actions...
Story #1 -- Looked pretty clear why the place had so much employee turnover from the beginning. OP just didn't realize it until her turn came.
Story 4; the OP didn't destroy the boss's life, the boss did it to theirself. They put the OP in a new position, didn't train them, called them incompetent for the job they weren't trained for, and then ordered them not to do a large chunk of it.
The OP later warned the boss's new employer about them.
The 1st story reminded me about my aunt. She lived with her parents her entire life, except for 6 months when she was married. My grandmother, *literally,* did everything for her during her entire life. She worked in my grandfather’s dress store, and when he retired, she got a job at a high end department store, and was very successful.
She was around 52 when my grandmother died, and 55 when my grandfather died. She was lost then. She didn’t know how to do anything, except work. Didn’t know how to do anything that had to do with household chores, or really just taking care of herself.
She completed suicide a few years later, being a lonely, sad woman. They did a disservice to her, by not teaching her how to be independent at all. She could have still lived with them, but they needed to teach her some life skills. 😢
Story 2: In the immortal words of TFS's Frieza," How do you function?"
I would just work at the cell phone store just to laugh at Meg daily.
S2: my grandmas identity and card info was stolen 6 times last year!!! Needless to say, she's stopped buying stuff from scam sites on facebook and she's deleted temu 😂😂
Story 2:
At that point where they ask you to take the course and wait a few months-
Agree to take the course, but don’t agree to wait. Tell them if you aren’t given the title and pay of manager immediately after the course, you will quit. And if they refuse to let you take the course at that point, quit and call your friend with the competitor to get you an interview.
Oh hell no !!! Plans change and you forgot to tell me that you put me on the schedule? Yeah no that doesn't work for me and I will not be working for you TODAY!! NOT HAPPENING. Plans may change but in this situation your mistake does not have anything to do with me you made the mistake so you will be working that shift because that's what happens when managers FAIL to ACTUALLY "MANAGE"!
What would you have done if I failed to call the store for directions and just called tomorrow? ( I don't know what state this op is or was working in, but in New York you have to have at least a 24-hour notification for a schedule change, that's just the way it is you can't just write someone's name in on the schedule after the schedule is already been posted and then say well you're on the schedule so you need to come into work! No I'm sorry that's not how this works😂😂
I would have thanked him for the directions and said they will be very useful tomorrow when I come in on my scheduled shift!! However as this is my day off I will be going to sleep now so I can be all perky tomorrow to work my SCHEDULED SHIFT! (keep saying the word SCHEDULED extremely emphasized!)
THEN END THE CALL WITH
" hopefully it won't be busy tonight and you'll have an easy shift anyway I've got to go I need to get caught up on my sleep I'll talk to you tomorrow good night !!"
and then hang up the phone 🫵🏻🤳 💢CLICK!!💢
In story 1, it seems the newbie thought OP would keep going above and beyond even though newbie would hold title, salary and authority, and the owners thought they had such a devoted employee that made it so they did have to exert any effort in owning and running a business that they would be able to live forever on OP's labor. I wonder how they explained to future employers that they deserve a management position because they know how to hire people who will do their work for them
It really makes me differentiate people between people who are nice to you vs people who are good to you.
So many people treat others nicely, but not well.
Such a slight but important difference to look at, to decide how you treat others.
story 2: I'm surprised she survived to atleast 30 years old
and as always, it's probably daddy and mommy coddling her
With story 2, I’m genuinely concerned for Meg. Like… is she ok? I get she may just be stupid and spoiled, but being so ready to give away her SSN, address and phone number… like, does she have an issue? Not to say “oh she’s stupid, she must have a problem”, but the amount of things she’s struggling with, it sounds like she needs proper help if she’s gonna function on her own.
Story 1: we noticed you aren't going above and beyond anymore
My response: well I noticed YOU aren't going avove and beyond for my paycheck so I don't know why I should go above and beyond for your profits
Story 5 - OP should have reported her employers to the relative authorities after they made her work despite having been assaulted ! That’s a really crappy thing to do !
Pizza Story: That is such an awesome wholesome story for both OP and the manager
Story 2:
Her identity was Already given away TWICE that year?
This woman is a risk in any job....
Does the States have a thing for people who are not mentally fit for work?
Issue with treating people the way you would like to be treated is I'm really weird.
Story 2 - Even Bill Engvall wouldn’t waste a ‘Here’s Your Sign’ on this woman.
She would've been covered in aleph-zero of those signs and still couldn't take the hint.
Overtime Story: When I got Reprimanded for working too much Overtime, I'd have written out a complete list of my Current Tasks, handed it to the Boss and asked him "OK, if I'm not allowed to work Overtime anymore, which of these Tasks are you giving to someone else to reduce my workload to something that can be done in a normal shift, oh and please understand that whichever Employee you shift my work to is going to need Overtime as they are just as swamped with work as I am...If you don't want anyone to do Overtime, you WILL need to hire more people to handle the total workload because ALL of us are severely Overworked and need Overtime to get everything done..."
Yah, that would likely have gotten me yelled at, but if they Fired me, I'd called the Department of Labor to file a Complaint about being overworked, Reprimanded for too much Overtime and then fired when I explained WHY I was doing so much Overtime...I suspect the DoL would have an unpleasant conversation with both Owners about Illegal Retaliation and Wrongful Dismissal...

S3: OP didn't destroy that boss' job, boss did.
I reported that company to the BBB and sued them for the mental suffering as well as their policy towards their employees.
Age old wisdom: People very rarely quit their jobs, they quit their bosses.
Story 1: Stuff like this is sadly way to common... companies try to implement and force this "we are a family here" on their employees, so they feel the need to work harder "i mean you surely dont want to dissapoint your family right?". Its just scummy. I once worked in an office like that, the chef of my department constantly called me off workhours and wanted to talk to me about work and his privatelife to guilttrip me into stuff... really creepy and unprofessional
As a Brazillian lawyer and former intern from a tribunal, i commend you, some judges are outright disrespectful,
Story 2: Meg is very lucky that OP is a decent person because OP could have scammed Meg/store out of money/stock/etc. Like OP could have typed up a repair cost sheet & post it in Meg's office, but have the prices on that list be $5 to $25 more and then use that extra money to get an item from the store that they could resell or if OP handled the money they could take the extra money out from the daily cash.
Story #1: Decades ago, as a woman in her 20's at the time, I worked for an 18-table restaurant/ice cream fountain place. Table and take out service. I was the cook, and we had a very large and varied menu, actually, and ice cream was made on premises twice weekly, and you could watch him making it in the glass walled room. It was cool to watch I guess. Not the point though.
Anyway, the couple that owned the place at the time, he made the ice cream and helped wherever needed at the time, but so-so at all of the jobs. She was the same, just like her husband, seriously slow, and didn't make ice cream...but did kitchen stuff more but not really better. Well, that night we were slammed three times over. Lines literally out the door, and what ended as a 3 1/2 hour freaking rush. I am fast...ADHD overload, really. Plus, if I had my tapes playing...YES I'm old....I could get in a groove and sail for hours if left alone and out of my way. I had orders waiting for picking up and THREE waitresses AND to go orders, but I was belting out the orders. AND they both came into the kitchen giving ME crap because food is sitting under lamps getting 'old'!!! WTF?! I said "I'm fine...but why can't three waitstaff not keep up with one cook and 2 fountain people?" They gave me shit, because they knew I was right but couldn't bitch out waitstaff in front of customers, can they? The only ones in back were me and dish people, and it's not their fault. Both of them at the same time, in the small kitchen.
So I got pissed off and told them..and yes verbatim, "Oh fuck off! I'm the fastest cook you've ever had and you KNOW it! I do the prep, I do the counting for you to order, I do the opening and have done the closings, and YOU say this is MY fault?! YOU Fucking cook then! I never got a break yet and I've been on duty 5 damn hours! That's illegal!"
Oh...btw...my voice has that tone that carries even when I'm not trying for it to do so. I literally went to the little table in the corner by the dish area and office and sat my butt down and crossed my arms. They obviously had to work the kitchen and deal with me later...orders were piling up, food was on the grill, the griddle, the fryers, and the prep board.
After that rush finally ended, he came back and very quietly said that his wife would like to speak to me in the kitchen, please. I went to the kitchen and it was a blazing wreck! OMG I've never seen such a mess. Horrifying, really. OMG...I can't...and the walk-in...oh Lordie. Sauces on door handles, lettuce, grated cheese, chopped egg everywhere. the griddle with burning meat and cheese bits, fryers floating with fall-off pieces...everything empty and not refilled. Spilled salad dressing in the walk-in floor, too. And much more.
EVERYTHING I alone manage to do, they could not manage with BOTH of them working together! I took literally a minute just looking around, opening doors, assessing the 'damage', saying nothing. She said nothing either. Just stood watching me. Finally done looking at the entire mess everywhere, I walked over to her, and she looked at me without a word. I just gave her a look that says 'I see you made 20X the mess I ever did even on the busiest shifts' without a word. Her expression shifted to a spot over my shoulder and I knew her husband was behind me. Her gaze shifted to the ground momentarily and then back to my eyes. She then spoke the quietest I've ever heard her, and said, "I'll clean this up. It's not fair to ask you to do it, since you didn't make it. Please just help the dishwasher if you don't mind, while I do."
I just said, "I'll clean it up, since the stocking and closing still has to be done and I clean then anyway." SHE went and helped the dishwasher catch up. The husband went into the office to do some paperwork. Neither of them EVER complained or yelled at me ever again, no matter what was going on. They KNEW what I said was the truth. And it was. I've always been fast if it was needed. ADHD, remember? Talked fast, too. LOL
Even in high school working Burger King...I was the fastest on the boards whilst also being made correctly and neatly, and a cocky male manager also got schooled unintentionally by me when HE yelled at me years before the above incident. He was blaming ME for food not showing up, when in fact someone took the regular burgers instead of the special order ones they ordered. So everyone said race to see who is actually the better burger maker..and I always won and he always got pissed then stomped off to the office. I just know I'm a fast worker if needed. That's my sort of Karen bosses..who rehabilitated. LOL

My sister use to work for Papa John's Pizza for years ago and she worked there for YEARS I believe she was a shift manager and she was good at her job. Every now and then she and the other employees would arrange a trade for food at another restaurant (like a couple pizza for subway to get some subway sandwiches in return).
Separating the Checks Story: Assuming this happened in Canada or the USA, OP was foolish...They should have called the State Department of labor when Boss changed the Schedule without warning or notifying OP about the change and then forcing OP to go in and work tired...In EVERY province and State is is LAW that Schedules MUST be posted 7 or 14 (it varies by area) Days before the start of the 1st shift of that Schedule and once posted MAY NOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL EMPLOYEES AFFECTED (so if you and a coworker want to swap shifts, the consent notice must have the signatures of you, the coworker AND the Shift Manager for it to be Legal)...

Story 2 -
Wow, how is this woman still alive?
Yes, she should be living safely at home, and yes her parents/family need respite from caring for her etcetera.
But this is NOT the way to do it. Using a family business as a form of adult day care and expecting your employees to “babysit” is wrong on so many levels.
If Meg’s brother was there in the store and he took responsibility for her himself, then that might work.
But to simply drop her off and then leaving, letting her think that she is now the boss….You’re just asking for trouble.
They thought they would save money this way and look how that backed for them 😳
Next time, if they need a break, find an adult respite facility or organisation. That way Meg will be safe, she won’t have her identity stolen AGAIN and your business won’t be affected.
The cost of a respite facility is looking a lot more reasonable right about now I think 😂
Or, if Meg doesn’t qualify for assistance or adult respite support services, then she needs to find a hobby or attend school or some description - preferably one that offers classes in Life Skills.
OP is a phone technician NOT an adult babysitter.
😊Hello everyone! Hi Darkfluff!😊
Did anyone noticed that dark fluff sounded a little bit down in today's video? I hope you are okay, it seems like you are feeling under the weather... Sending a hug from Costa Rica
The boss from story 2 honestly sounds mentally ill and needs help. Get her into professional care.
I’ll bet Mr Smith laughed at the memory of that incident and probably retold the tale to all his employees
Beetlejuice (Lester Green) from the Howard Stern show would soundly defeat the girl from story 2 in a battle of intelligence.
If I worked for that Child-Manager, I would get her parent's phone number and call them every time their child decided to do something stupid.
"Hey, yeah, it's me. Your daughter is giving out her SSN, CC Number, and all kinds of personal info over the phone. Thought you'd want to know."
Calling the parents of your manager is the ultimate power play.
Story 2: I also can't tell the diff between "todays" iPhone and one from "10 years prior", but even I know better than to give out my personal info.
I blame that woman's parents! They made her so helpless and naive! She has the street smarts of a toddler!

1st story - there was this custom in the old communist times, that when you did something wrong, you had to write an expiation. I see someone has been following the best example.
It's never really a good day if I could not watch fluff, well done on another great video ❤❤.
Story number one, I'm sorry but Opie was so naive it's not even funny because the owner said oh can you wait a little while till all the new staff is trained? I would have looked them dead in the face and said yeah but who's going to train them and when they said you I would have said oh well that's a manager's job isn't it? So unless you pay me to do that no I will not be training the new ones coming in also what makes me think that you're going to keep me on after I train everyone you no longer need me right? So no give me the position in the pay now or this is my 2 weeks notice and you can train them yourself and I'm also going to stop doing all the duties that fall under the managerial duties! You know, things like stocking and doing paperwork and all that stuff that a manager does that you should be doing as we have no manager but I have been doing so I'm going to stop doing all of that if you're not going to pay me to do it
For story 1. Why don’t the owners manage their own stores from time to time. You OWN it so manage it, even if only part time.
