I used to work at Dairy Queen. On my last day I ordered an ice cream cake for then end of my shift. So I walked out the back, came to the front and asked to pick up my cake. The result was my manager hand delivering a cake that said they’d all miss me and call me a hero. That was fun
The McDonald's one is true. It gets unimaginably cold at the window during winter but no one really cares if you can no longer feel your fingers and toes.
@@heartofthewild680 well during low traffic times at the wendy's i worked at they made us wash dishes. We got so cold making us bounce back and forth. Especially when the sprayer broke and we got soaking wet. Jerk manager wouldnt even loan a shirt so I could be dry. it was 15* outside. I ended up with pneumonia. I loved quiting from that dump.
My sister's friend told us a hilarious story about how he quit his job. His boss was a huge jerk to him for no reason, so he wrote out this letter about how he was going to fulfill his lifelong dream of joining the circus. It included a bunch of ridiculous stuff along with the line, "Don't try to talk me out this decision, I know you'll miss me," which was extra funny considering how obviously his boss hated him.
I worked for a credit card company and we were legally required to stick with a script verbatim. A new guy got hired who immediately got off script got like 4x the conversions of most people then was quickly promoted and held up as an example. Bit fuzzy on detail but I think what he did was read the script in such a way to cause the customer to respond in a way that let him legally get off script and once he was off he could stay off.
Me again. My Step sister quit a job where they expected her to do the workload of three people. They asked if she'd stay long enough to train her replacement. Yeah, I can do that. The person she was training quit before they finished learning the job and my step sister left right after, so then they had no one at all.🤣
Unfortunately that is true of a large chunk of the food industry as well as any warehouse work. Many years ago between jobs I worked for an agency doing warehouse work to get some beer money for Christmas (I already had the bills paid etc). Luckily I was only there for 2 weeks. I was there at Friday lunch time (poets day) and there was a literal stampede for the clock machines. After a week I understood why. Nothing bad was going on. The flip side is that the most exciting thing that happened in the two weeks I was there was my sellotape running out.
@@Knave3263 I agree. I used to work for a convenience chain with several thousand locations and I believe my location was better-run and more pleasant than most. Probably just that one terrible location/manager that everyone else in the area knows about.
I worked at a Flying J travel store back in 2007. I worked on the restaurant/diner part as a line cook. Been there about a year. We got this manager who was really abusive towards the staff and was just an all around asshole. But I stuck it out because I needed the steady pay check. One day I found a better job and put in my two weeks notice. A week later I'm working the dinner rush, which was always bad. Had tickets coming out of my ass and I'm the only person on the line. Manager is pissed that tickets are getting backed up and comes back to yell at me. I tell him he's gonna have to just deal with it or help me out since I'm the only one back here. He says to me "I OWN you for 7 more days. So get your shit together or you're out." I laughed out loud, took off my apron, and told him I'm out. It was nice to have a week off before starting my new job. The most satisfying part was all the calls from him begging me to come back and finish my shift, and then the corporate GM calling me to inquire why I didnt finish my two weeks.
I introduced one of my coworkers to GOT and he really got hooked. The day i gave my 2-week notice, I sang to him "Rains of Castemere" while pointing at myself and he knew I was on my way out. When I hugged goodbye to the team on my last day, when he hugged me, he also "stabbed" me while whispering "for the watch!".... it was great lol
The girl who normally delivered my pizza quit her job amidst a sexual harassment complaint against her store's owner. She called up all the regular customers and notified us about what had been going on and that she was going to be delivering pizza for another pizza place in the neighborhood. The previous place she worked closed down a year later. It's a small town and everyone learned about what her boss did real quick.
5:31 i had a similar issue when my granmother was in her last months. we were understaffed and busy as hell so i didnt think i could get any time off for her. told my work, they gave me vacation time off just for it. there are many things i dislike about them, especially in 2020, but they do come out from time to time as very caring people.
Telemarketers have to stick to the script, because the vast majority of their employees...are not skilled in sales. But this punishes the few people who actually ARE skilled in sales...
Wow, that first story. My mom in 1970s bought a new Datsun. The clutch started acting up. She took it to the dealership service department and was told the clutch needed replacement $200. On a new car? She said no. She worked at GE and told some other employees. One lady says my husband works there. Let me tell him. She gets a call from Datsun service. Let us take another look. They check it again. Now its just a simple adjustment.
The reason telemarketing companies can't accept the no-script model is because of lack of control. The script makes peoples output lower... but they think it will at least be predictable over all. There is also a race to the bottom in terms of salary, so anyone who is actually good at sales will very quickly leave and anyone who is shit at it will stick around, driving their numbers into the ground. Sales positions are EXTREMELY well paid in basically all companies. This boils down to the fact that the management can't bullshit sales people. When the manager says 'hey, we've really got to tighten our belts, no raises right now', the sales person can just straight up pull out numbers and be like "bullshit. I made this company $750k in sales and the product only cost the company $200k, that's $550k in profit I brought in this year MYSELF. Raise or I walk." None of the other positions in the company can do that. Everyone else is kept in a nebulous zone where it is unclear just how much they contribute to the companies bottom line, whether they are a net profit or loss for the company, and by how much in either direction. That information should be known by the executives and a very few people at the top of most companies, at least per department if not per person, but they will NEVER allow it to be known. EVER. That would amount to actual capitalism, and that's the last thing they want. They have no desire to compete with other companies on wages.
When I worked for a local CBS station that did the 5 and 10 o'clock news; I was a sound guy but also part-time IT. Was about 1998. I had been asked to assist with building 60 new PCs by the sole IT guy. I did that for about 6 months in between the news broadcasts. While building the PCs, I had 'FULL' access to look through EVERY SINGLE doc on the network and the HR dept. I found the latest DOC that showed EVERYONE'S pay, including the anchors. (They were making average of $400k each) Around that time, I had to change jobs due to some family crap. Before my last day, I was made aware one of the main Managers was talking crap about me leaving. So...on my last day, I emailed EVERYONE in the company the pay scale doc!! I later heard a bunch of people quit and a bunch were demoted, etc! Was told there was a day that coworkers went to blows and the police had to be called! Never mess with IT personnel as we prob know secret stuff about you!
That first story was a wild ride! "So the service manager wanted me to overcharge someone... So naturally I married her, quit my job, got the service manager fired, the police were called... what a busy day!"
Oh, man. That first one hit haaaard. I used to work for a Car Dealership and the Body Shop estimators always over-ordered pieces and barely did proper inspections of the situations. I used to work for Parts Delivery and we'd recieved a shit ton of pieces for cars that weren't even in the shop yet. Sometimes we'd send those pieces back to the warehouses and annoyingly had to return products ourselves because other Dealerships don't pick up pieces they dropped off. Clearly, whoever worked those positions were fucking terrible at it.
17:30 this is an old Navy submarine trick. The sub's septic tanks fill up, and every day or every few days they need to vent the tanks overboard. Since they do this while submerged several hundred feet, it takes a huge amount of pressure to overcome the natural water pressure and force the contents of the tank out of the hull. The only thing preventing this pressure from blowing back into the toilet itself is the flush valve (I know there's a series of valves involved, but simplifying). There would be a "Do Not Use" sign hung on the door of the bathroom during this process. If some really unpleasant person was predictable in their business and you know the guy responsible for timing the overboard vents, that sign just might go missing at a key moment. I've heard that while newer designs mitigate this to some degree, with older (early-mid Cold War) subs you could literally bounce a guy off the ceiling with a crap geyser under him. DISCLAIMER: I am neither current nor former Navy.
Unfortunately, "bounce a guy off the ceiling" can equate to "murder by breaking his neck". I doubt the military would look kindly on such a (ahem) foul-up.
@@user2C47 It's not an explosion, its a geyser. There's no damage at all, just a toilet overflowing x 100. And since it's instantaneous you wouldn't have time to jump away from it if you opened the valve while still sitting down, as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong, vets) is common practice due to the design of the system.
Document destruction company that sounds like "fuck-it". A truck that had half of it's brakes not working 50% of the time. The shop they went to would say anything passed inspection for the right price. That truck went like that for almost three years. No heat. No AC. Windows pinned so they could only lower 1 inch for "security purposes", while you could open any door on it with any key. Or a screwdriver. Same to start it. Automatic, with no parking gear, so E-brake is all you had. E-brake became horribly out of alignment. Company treats its people like absolute trash. Customer had their loading section on a pier, and the pier had a slightl incline towards the water. They fished the truck out with the e-brake still showing it was "activated". All those federal/medical records in it had to be burned instead of shredded. huge security breach. All on the company's ass.
@@KnakuanaRka it was scrapped after taking a swim. It had holes so big in every part of the cab that you could see the road and front wheels when driving. Diesel fumes would get in if the wind was wrong. Rain water from the road and tires too, if you didn't keep a foot over some holes.
I used to manage a fast food restaurant. Folks please finish your shift before you quit. There are people that can't quit and have to stay. Those people get stuck doing a lot more work and more hours when that stuff happens. Just finish your shift. It's a shit job, but the people who work there aren't.
Yes but sometimes the people that are working there are shit people, and you've had enough. No one should be forced to work in a harsh environment or finishes shift because they don't want to inconvenience someone aceptionally someone who treats them like crap
Its called being a responsible adult. Walking out on a job you accepted because you think someone is mean or the job is too hard isn't realistic when you need an income. Rarely do people walk off because of an incident with a customer. The kind of people who walk out instead of finishing their shift and telling the manager they won't be coming back, are usually the same ones that bounce from dead end job to dead end job anyway. Even college and hs kids that worked for me would be responsible and finish their shifts before telling me they wouldn't be returning. It's a personal choice if someone wants to walk off a job. Just know that most of the time it is wo incident and they usually ask me a month later can they come back. I never rehire anyone I fire for job abandonment.
I know a it guy who haed a big problem with his boss (pay cut or something like that) he got into the it room and deleted everything from all divices of the entire company, he also infected all PCs with a virus and practically destroyed the company (he got legal troubles of course, but the company has gotten bankrupt and closed shortly after)
Don't mess with the IT guys. We have you at your balls 24/7 but when when you treat us nice, you'll get a warm hand massage every single day. If you think we're overpaid, useless or if you want to give us stupid work that has nothing to do with our profession, say bye to your future.
I got Covid and was outta work for 3 weeks, when I came back they tried to move me to a different department (I loved my job in the other department) but I figured I’ll atleast give it the old college try and the pay was good plus 20 hours OT a week every week, well they showed me to what would be my new job, it was god awful, repetitive motions for 12 hours and the people I saw doing it looked absolutely miserable, we went back to the “Dojo” as they called it to finish some training before I could go out on the floor... They had all the engine parts laid out on the table for me to memorize, I asked if I could use the bathroom quick and they said of course... I still laugh about it to this day, I wonder when they realized “he ain’t taking a shit is he?”
I wish I could say I quit my most recent job but they actually fired me, but I did get to yell at them while they were firing me. Plus, now everyone still talks shit about me like I'm still working there so that's fun. I constantly get messages from old coworkers saying "Did you hear _______ said _______ about you?" like I'm still there to care about it.
When I was around 19 I worked at a truck stop diner owned by Greeks, (I'm Greek and Puerto Rican btw). All of the kitchen staff were Mexican. There was one kitchen employee who literally followed me all over the restaurant every day, asking me to marry him, asking me to go back to Mexico with him, etc. This was a very busy restaurant and every time I turned around this guy was right there. I dealt with it for a few days then at the end of the night on the 3rd night I discreetly pulled my manager aside and explained the situation to him and pointed out it was also sexual harassment. This jackass looked me in my eyes and told me to take it like a woman! I said, oh, okay. Let me show you how a woman would take it then. I went to the kitchen, flung the door open and yelled IMMIGRACIÓN!! All 12-14 kitchen employees flee out the back door. I turn around to walk out the door and as I pass my boss I tell him, "now close this mother****** by yourself, and take THAT like a MAN!!" My dad was pissed when I told him I quit/got fired until I explained it to him...he laughed about it for days.
Hearing all these stories further supports my theory that becoming a manager means having to sacrifice a large portion of your humanity. I swear every Job I've had they always pick the person with the worst people skills to be a manager.
I worked at McDonald’s as a teen to. Their was a crew lead who didn’t like me from the first day because as I was learning he said I was “too slow.” I just said ok and moved on cause I didn’t really care about his opinion. Two weeks later everything was pretty slow and I was cleaning off the grill. He walked in and said “why do I do everything so slow?” I was confused and said “you wouldn’t know wtf I was doing if you weren’t watching me 24/7.” He got angry and tried to fight me in the parking lot after that so I took off my apron and threw on the floor and said “aye bro this is McDonalds. If you are on this much of a power trip no wonder 4 people have quit in the 2 weeks I’ve been here.” The GM called me the next day and offered me 10 cent raise as well to come back. I asked “wtf am I gonna do with 10 cents” and hung up.
One of my co-workers who already had another job lined up, basically got up and said in front of a line of 40 customers: “Fuck You all, I’m gonna go watch Game of Thrones”
Uh i have one work “friend” (i work in IT consulting btw) that ghost us in the middle of big project. We didn’t see it coming cause He left everything in our dorm (all his shoes, clothes, and stuff). When my boss finally can get him in touch (like 2 weeks after he left) the only thing he said is “If I don’t want to get back what will you do HUH?!!”
The thing to take away from this, people: A job isn't worth your happiness, sanity, or pride. If there comes a moment where you ask yourself "Why am I working here?" It's probably a good time to quit. Even if you love your coworkers and it's a good job-- if something about it is stressing you the fuck out, quit it. Being unemployed can be scary, but you'll suddenly have free time and there are always other jobs out there. You'll thank yourself later.
3:50 For anyone curious why this seems to happen so often, it's because those scripts are run by at least 2 legal departments, in order to avoid lawsuits and the like if you're called on such activities. As such, they're typically bland and badly written. What he did likely might have gotten the company in trouble, had they been called to court over it, but it does also tend to result in it being more approachable.
Worked at jack in the box once. They made me go directly back and forth between cleaning the vents and serving tacos. They talked shit about the workers that worked at least 10 times as hard as I did. On my way home I called them out on their bullying, they just sat there choking. Lost for words. Not soon after I went back, threw my uniform on the counter eye contact included and walked out without saying a word.
I used to work for a street sweeping business. The hours were grueling, and I'm pretty sure I got life-threateningly sick off of that job. Anyway, this was about the time that Uber and Lyft came on the scene. I applied to be an Uber driver, tested that out, and brought home just about as much money as I make per week at the street sweeping job. One night, I was supposed to go to work, but I was dog tired, And I really needed to rest; so I emailed my manager and told them in so many words that I'm tired, and I'm tired of being overworked and underpaid. Y'all can take this job and shove it. And I didn't mention the fact that this was not long after I got out of the hospital, and had to take an unpaid leave to recover for 6 weeks.
My favorite story is that I used to work for a small fence building company. In the south at that. So as you can imagine it’s a bunch of country people. The owner was a fat lazy POS. We were all underpaid and overworked. And had unsafe working conditions. I was hired on a 90 day temp to hire deal. I should add that I made myself indispensable in that 90 days. Our crew handled all the custom fences (aluminum and the expensive plastic ones) and that after I started productivity went up about 40%. I drove the truck and trailer when needed. Operated large equipment. Handled jobs we didn’t normally do such as grading driveways etc. well when I found out I wasn’t getting hired on at 90 days I took that poorly. I organized a mass quitting. The only people left after was my boss who couldn’t quit as the slumlord owner was renting a trailer to him. And the 16-18 yr olds that worked in the shop making double what the crews were. Even his estimator quit. We then called OSHA on him. And alerted his suppliers that he was violating contracts by modifying prefabricated materials and passing them off as his own. Wrecked the business, 3 years later it still hasn’t recovered. Should also add that I went and worked for the local competition immediately after and I also organized a mass quitting there as well. 12 hours into a work day, they were sending us to go start a new job and we had to dig 80 post holes by hand before we could leave. Needless to say that Job didn’t get done. And I was told they regularly would work 16+ hours a day. And still have to come in the next day at regular time. Which is illegal. I had them audited by the state for labor law violations and they had to pay a multi hundred thousand dollar fine. Don’t treat employees like dogshit if you own a small business.
The first story is exactly why my car is sitting in my driveway needing to be fixed. They think because I am a chick that I have no clue how a car works. I do, I took two years of mechanics in school, so I sure as hell know how a car runs. I just lack the tools/jacks and areas to fix it myself.
The problem with changing your sales pitch = more sales is that the sales pitches are generally designed to avoid anything illegal, so straying too far from the script can get you and your company in a lot of trouble. Not that I haven't occasionally done this in the heat of the moment from time-to-time. Thank God I don't work sales any more though. I'm now on the Customer Service side. I'm paid more, treated like a human, and only have to do 10-12 calls a day (15 on a really busy day), and I have to find solutions for Customers, so I'm allowed to speak to them like a normal person most of the time. (Aside from the scripted response when answering the phone.)
I got a story. Tell me if I should post this to reddit with more details. I worked at a restaurant who had a problem employee. He was a drug addict. IV type drugs. He shot up in the bathroom on the diaper changing station. I was in charge of cleaning everything including the bathrooms every 30 minutes. He would be in the same position in the bathroom in front of the changing station for 30 to 50 minutes everyday he was on shift. I took pictures of the mess he left behind and the carbon transfer caused by setting the spoon down with carbon buildup on the station. I sanitized thw whole bathroom after everytime. I reported his drug use by following the procedure on the manual. I was given a write up for violating his privacy, one for insubordination, and one for harassment. I said I cannot work here because you have created a hostile work environment. I then headed for the backdoor and told my brother, the cook, that I quit because they, the uppermanagement, were defending a drug addict and endangering the welfare of the customers. The management then treated me like a hostile guest and forced me out of the building ignoring the fact I was already leaving and banned me from my ride. My brother drove me to work. He told them they were morons and if they didnt want to be down a cook too they were going to let him find me and return me home 50 miles away. I contacted the bbb and corporate hq and the various local news organizations. The druggy was defended by the management but corporate gave the order to fire him. I did not return to that job. For those who must know. The restaurant had a fruit and an insect in its one word name. Way more details available. Respond to this if I should post to reddit.
wish i could quit my last job like these people one day i was just on my limit after working alone on a pizzeria for a whole month, having bake pizzas,o clean the place , and also take care of a second kitchen preparing food for the next day lunch and ,since i was extremely burned out i decided on my only free day on the week to go there and talk with my boss that i was thinking about quit that job his answer was " no you will not quit, and you also will come here later and help clean this place up because you are doing a shitty job" i said ok and ghosted the place luckly today im doing twice the money i did on that place selling art comissions at home
I work in the pool industry we had a guy shit in about 5 customer chlorinators on his route then drive back to the shop and drop a 25 lb bucket of dog shit on the front door step and leave.
2:18 from one tech (airplanes) to another, you are a good soul for doing that! I Hope people spread that good word about you! Maybe you can do some buisness out of your garage! edit: HA!! You two hitched up! Hell yeah!!!
If You can do it and work retail big box stores and convince others to do it have a mass resignation on Thanksgiving or the day before work your shift, clock out hand your manager a letter saying you Quit/Resign effective immediately. they plan on having 200 workers on the clock for Black Friday they only have the managers and have other unscheduled employees turning their phones off or temporarily blocking their work number and any managers personal cell number.
Be careful if you do something similar to the toilet one. Water shooting into a person's rectum can actually kill them and you'd get charged with manslaugther at best or even 3rd degree murder.
I doubt that would be possible under those circumstances, but I do remember our "shop" teacher pointing out that shoving the compressed air nozzle up someone's rear and turning on the air would probably lead to burst bowels and a very serious hospital visit. He didn't bother pointing out the legal implications because we were all old enough to figure it out. I don't remember anyone in that class ever even hinting at playing with the compressed air.
I keep watching these even though I politely gave my boss a 2 weeks notice that I am now working through. And I didn't tell him why I am leaving so all he could say was "well, all righty then" after several silent minutes
I worked at McDonald's for nine years. This one Saturday morning, we were down three people, and I was stationed to work breakfast grill by myself in the middle of breakfast rush while there is a BOGO sale on McMuffins. I had folded eggs, scrambled eggs, hotcakes, sausage, bacon, muffin eggs, and burrito mix all on the grill. Cinnamon rolls, bagels, and biscuits in the oven. Everything was burning. A newly promoted manager with swelled head syndrome went back there and started yelling at me because I couldn't magically pull everything off three different grills and two ovens at exactly the same time. I just looked at her and said, "If you think you can do any better, then do it yourself." I punched out and left. She didn't know how to cook breakfast. When I got home, my mom asked me what happened so I told her the truth. She drove up there and was going to yell at that manager, but manager was on the floor in uncontrollable tears, drive thru line was wrapped around the parking lot twice. Cashiers giving out free coffee because nobody could cook. They were waiting on relief cooks to come from a different store. I had no regrets. I found a job making more money with lots of benefits a week later. When hiring manager asked why I left, I simply told him I got burned out.
In regards to the first story, the guy who worked at Midas, I work in a garage and we did rear drum brakes on one of our personal cars, a Chevy cobalt. We just did shoes and drums, we were lazy and didn't replace the hardware because it looked alright. The next day they took it on the interstate and the springs broke. We all learned a lesson that day, don't be lazy when it comes to cars.
I don't understand companies with aggressive sales tactics I had highest Sales in the nation for the company I worked for and I didn't use any of their aggressive sales tactics they wanted me to literally put stuff in people's carts without their permission, I think it's funny too because everybody that followed the rules at the store failed to sell stuff
Ugh I hate it when places fire people immediately for giving their 2 weeks. Call center I worked at would do that, not to everyone though depended on your relationship with management and numbers but everyone who tried to give notice was rolling the dice.
I have almost always had a new job lined up with a tentative start date before giving any notice to an old employer for exactly this reason, especially when a company was known for this. The New employer had usually been told ahead of time that I needed to give a proper notice, but I would give it on a Friday, and probably ACTUALLY be available to start the following Monday or Tuesday, unless they heard from me to say I hadn't been released...
I HAD a plan for this if I ever felt I was unjustly screwed over at my job at a videogame rental store, since most of the games were downloaded and a good chunk of them needed specific accounts to get in. My plan was that, on my last day I would spend my time completely wiping EVERYTHING they had in the hard drives of the consoles, forcing them to have to download everything again, having to recover the accounts, and being screwed over with the games that had unlockables and progress saved to them. Luckily, I never had to resort to it. When I eventually left the store, I was in good terms with my boss.
I remember I worked at a foodlion when I was 16 and felt so shitty everyday because I was dealing with at home drama. I walked out crying like a little bitch after I used the store phone for mommy to come pick me up
I had 30 minutes left of my shift then I was moving across the country. I lifted the tray “incorrectly” to move it 6inches to load it with coffee, the owner got all in my face yelling how I still didn’t know to correctly lift a tray. So I picked it up, looked him straight in the eye then because I physically cannot hold the tray “correctly” (muscle issues, which I had explained over the 2 years I worked there) and dropped the $30 dollars of juice/coffee/soda right on the floor and left
I'm a LARPer. After 5 years of bullying at the golden arches, I was begged to go 1 day over my notice to work one final Saturday because the nearby cinema had the opening night of Harry Potter, and there was also a huge sports event. It was common for the line to go out the store and around the block for just one of those two things. Then half the kitchen called out sick. I was asked for 2 more hours to cover the rush, and did the work of a manager and two other people while my brother and his friends cheered me on. I was applauded on clock out. But I got to my car and remembered I needed my payslip. So I grabbed my belt and slung my biggest, angriest looking LARP mace and casually walked back in to get it. I'll never forget the look on my manager's face.
16:45 "High" employee upon being fired says to boss, "In a world of darkness, where you carried the only light. I still wouldn't follow you". This left me thinking of two responses she might have had: "If I carried the only light and saw you coming, I'd turn off the light to make sure you stumbled away into the darkness and out of my life" or "If I carried the only light, in my other hand I'd be carrying a gun and I'd send you to another world of even deeper darkness and everyone would thank me. _Now get out."_ After this story, the rest went downhill fast until I stopped reading because I couldn't sympathize with the story tellesr (edited later: "tellers"). They seemed all to be dicks.
For a more natural version of the second one with the gun: “... I’d set you on fire with it, and everyone would be happy because at least then you would be useful.”
@@KnakuanaRka -- viewers of this video wouldn't be at all sympathetic to high guy if it turned out he was the son of one of the CEOs and frequently showed his distaste for his job, his coworkers (or servants?) and the company in total.
My last job wanted the "women owned" label and fired or moved every male manager and replaced them with soccer moms that had never held a job before. I watched them screw up everything and destroy every procedure for assembly before I left. That place sunk quickly.
What the heck is "Compassionate Leave?" Is that yet another benefit that doesn't exist in the U.S.? We get 5 sick days a year and maybe 2 weeks of vacation if you have been working at your job for 10+ years.
When I was working at dq, we hit a really big rush, (2 buses and a bunch of spectators) (soccer season), We’ll make a long story short, I got mad, I went out for a “smoke break” set my apron and hat down, outside the door got in my car, and drove home. I went back about an hour later and they were even more full than when I left, it was a good day.
Listening to the telemarketing story makes me wonder if the script is for accessibility and liability rather than to make sales, but some companies take it too much to heart. By having a script, the team members who struggle with conversation have a base to work with, but it's being shown that taking initiative and communicating a bit more ab-lib and sounding more sociable increases sales. That said, it gives the company an out if an employee fails to sell and goes off script; they go off script and make more sales, then they are worth keeping, but if they go off script and fail, it makes it easier to have solid ground to terminate.

I was expecting something like she gave him a kiss for his hard work or something, but dude. He got a lot more than a kiss out of her, lol.
@@Dhalin 😂
Totally epic 🤩

she must have just been looking for an honest decent man and had to look no further

Lady - so how much do I owe yiu?
Man - I won't take your money, but I will take your hand... In marriage. 😁

The McDonald's one is true. It gets unimaginably cold at the window during winter but no one really cares if you can no longer feel your fingers and toes.
I work the drive thru at Burger King and our GM actively encourages us to wear long sleeves under our shirts in winter.

Oh, I didn't get that. I thought they meant from their hands being wet. That makes more sense
@@dannythompson1948 why would their hands be wet?
@@heartofthewild680 well during low traffic times at the wendy's i worked at they made us wash dishes. We got so cold making us bounce back and forth. Especially when the sprayer broke and we got soaking wet. Jerk manager wouldnt even loan a shirt so I could be dry. it was 15* outside. I ended up with pneumonia. I loved quiting from that dump.
That first story had all of jake’s needs for a good story

Suspense
And most importantly, happy ending

Which is why it's bullshit.
My sister's friend told us a hilarious story about how he quit his job. His boss was a huge jerk to him for no reason, so he wrote out this letter about how he was going to fulfill his lifelong dream of joining the circus. It included a bunch of ridiculous stuff along with the line, "Don't try to talk me out this decision, I know you'll miss me," which was extra funny considering how obviously his boss hated him.

I worked for a credit card company and we were legally required to stick with a script verbatim. A new guy got hired who immediately got off script got like 4x the conversions of most people then was quickly promoted and held up as an example.
Bit fuzzy on detail but I think what he did was read the script in such a way to cause the customer to respond in a way that let him legally get off script and once he was off he could stay off.
I need to learn how to do that.
Need a new job not in CS.

My Step sister quit a job where they expected her to do the workload of three people. They asked if she'd stay long enough to train her replacement. Yeah, I can do that.
The person she was training quit before they finished learning the job and my step sister left right after, so then they had no one at all.🤣
Classified ad written by someone who presumably no longer works at Subway: "Come work at Subway and have your soul crushed with the rest of us."
Unfortunately that is true of a large chunk of the food industry as well as any warehouse work. Many years ago between jobs I worked for an agency doing warehouse work to get some beer money for Christmas (I already had the bills paid etc). Luckily I was only there for 2 weeks. I was there at Friday lunch time (poets day) and there was a literal stampede for the clock machines. After a week I understood why. Nothing bad was going on. The flip side is that the most exciting thing that happened in the two weeks I was there was my sellotape running out.
@@gordonlawrence1448 I believe that. I've never worked food but I've worked warehouses and entry-level retail, and yep.
I am your 34th like.
Yes, I would indeed like a toasted foot long meatball sub.
Not all subways are bad, I've been at mine 6 months now. Its had rough patches due to changes in management, but overall its been a good experience
@@Knave3263 I agree. I used to work for a convenience chain with several thousand locations and I believe my location was better-run and more pleasant than most. Probably just that one terrible location/manager that everyone else in the area knows about.
I worked at a Flying J travel store back in 2007. I worked on the restaurant/diner part as a line cook. Been there about a year. We got this manager who was really abusive towards the staff and was just an all around asshole. But I stuck it out because I needed the steady pay check. One day I found a better job and put in my two weeks notice. A week later I'm working the dinner rush, which was always bad. Had tickets coming out of my ass and I'm the only person on the line. Manager is pissed that tickets are getting backed up and comes back to yell at me. I tell him he's gonna have to just deal with it or help me out since I'm the only one back here. He says to me "I OWN you for 7 more days. So get your shit together or you're out." I laughed out loud, took off my apron, and told him I'm out. It was nice to have a week off before starting my new job. The most satisfying part was all the calls from him begging me to come back and finish my shift, and then the corporate GM calling me to inquire why I didnt finish my two weeks.
What did you say to the GM?
I introduced one of my coworkers to GOT and he really got hooked. The day i gave my 2-week notice, I sang to him "Rains of Castemere" while pointing at myself and he knew I was on my way out. When I hugged goodbye to the team on my last day, when he hugged me, he also "stabbed" me while whispering "for the watch!".... it was great lol
The girl who normally delivered my pizza quit her job amidst a sexual harassment complaint against her store's owner. She called up all the regular customers and notified us about what had been going on and that she was going to be delivering pizza for another pizza place in the neighborhood. The previous place she worked closed down a year later.
It's a small town and everyone learned about what her boss did real quick.
5:31 i had a similar issue when my granmother was in her last months. we were understaffed and busy as hell so i didnt think i could get any time off for her. told my work, they gave me vacation time off just for it. there are many things i dislike about them, especially in 2020, but they do come out from time to time as very caring people.
That first story was awesome. Imagine that dude telling the story to his kids .
"How I met your mother " .
Telemarketers have to stick to the script, because the vast majority of their employees...are not skilled in sales. But this punishes the few people who actually ARE skilled in sales...
Wow, that first story. My mom in 1970s bought a new Datsun. The clutch started acting up. She took it to the dealership service department and was told the clutch needed replacement $200. On a new car? She said no. She worked at GE and told some other employees. One lady says my husband works there. Let me tell him. She gets a call from Datsun service. Let us take another look. They check it again. Now its just a simple adjustment.
The reason telemarketing companies can't accept the no-script model is because of lack of control. The script makes peoples output lower... but they think it will at least be predictable over all. There is also a race to the bottom in terms of salary, so anyone who is actually good at sales will very quickly leave and anyone who is shit at it will stick around, driving their numbers into the ground. Sales positions are EXTREMELY well paid in basically all companies. This boils down to the fact that the management can't bullshit sales people. When the manager says 'hey, we've really got to tighten our belts, no raises right now', the sales person can just straight up pull out numbers and be like "bullshit. I made this company $750k in sales and the product only cost the company $200k, that's $550k in profit I brought in this year MYSELF. Raise or I walk." None of the other positions in the company can do that. Everyone else is kept in a nebulous zone where it is unclear just how much they contribute to the companies bottom line, whether they are a net profit or loss for the company, and by how much in either direction. That information should be known by the executives and a very few people at the top of most companies, at least per department if not per person, but they will NEVER allow it to be known. EVER. That would amount to actual capitalism, and that's the last thing they want. They have no desire to compete with other companies on wages.

When I worked for a local CBS station that did the 5 and 10 o'clock news; I was a sound guy but also part-time IT. Was about 1998.
I had been asked to assist with building 60 new PCs by the sole IT guy. I did that for about 6 months in between the news broadcasts.
While building the PCs, I had 'FULL' access to look through EVERY SINGLE doc on the network and the HR dept. I found the latest DOC that showed EVERYONE'S pay, including the anchors.
(They were making average of $400k each) Around that time, I had to change jobs due to some family crap. Before my last day, I was made aware one of the main Managers was talking crap about me leaving.
So...on my last day, I emailed EVERYONE in the company the pay scale doc!! I later heard a bunch of people quit and a bunch were demoted, etc! Was told there was a day that coworkers went to blows and the police had to be called! Never mess with IT personnel as we prob know secret stuff about you!
That first story was a wild ride! "So the service manager wanted me to overcharge someone... So naturally I married her, quit my job, got the service manager fired, the police were called... what a busy day!"
Perhaps not all in that exact order?? hahahaha
Oh, man. That first one hit haaaard. I used to work for a Car Dealership and the Body Shop estimators always over-ordered pieces and barely did proper inspections of the situations.
I used to work for Parts Delivery and we'd recieved a shit ton of pieces for cars that weren't even in the shop yet. Sometimes we'd send those pieces back to the warehouses and annoyingly had to return products ourselves because other Dealerships don't pick up pieces they dropped off.
Clearly, whoever worked those positions were fucking terrible at it.
17:30 this is an old Navy submarine trick. The sub's septic tanks fill up, and every day or every few days they need to vent the tanks overboard. Since they do this while submerged several hundred feet, it takes a huge amount of pressure to overcome the natural water pressure and force the contents of the tank out of the hull. The only thing preventing this pressure from blowing back into the toilet itself is the flush valve (I know there's a series of valves involved, but simplifying).
There would be a "Do Not Use" sign hung on the door of the bathroom during this process. If some really unpleasant person was predictable in their business and you know the guy responsible for timing the overboard vents, that sign just might go missing at a key moment. I've heard that while newer designs mitigate this to some degree, with older (early-mid Cold War) subs you could literally bounce a guy off the ceiling with a crap geyser under him.
DISCLAIMER: I am neither current nor former Navy.
Unfortunately, "bounce a guy off the ceiling" can equate to "murder by breaking his neck". I doubt the military would look kindly on such a (ahem) foul-up.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 Point taken. "Bounce a guy off the ceiling" may be a second-hand-story exaggeration. Replace with "several feet in the air".
@@sturmovik5448 But how much of this is from the person jumping away from the exploding object?
@@user2C47 It's not an explosion, its a geyser. There's no damage at all, just a toilet overflowing x 100. And since it's instantaneous you wouldn't have time to jump away from it if you opened the valve while still sitting down, as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong, vets) is common practice due to the design of the system.
Document destruction company that sounds like "fuck-it". A truck that had half of it's brakes not working 50% of the time. The shop they went to would say anything passed inspection for the right price. That truck went like that for almost three years. No heat. No AC. Windows pinned so they could only lower 1 inch for "security purposes", while you could open any door on it with any key. Or a screwdriver. Same to start it. Automatic, with no parking gear, so E-brake is all you had. E-brake became horribly out of alignment. Company treats its people like absolute trash. Customer had their loading section on a pier, and the pier had a slightl incline towards the water. They fished the truck out with the e-brake still showing it was "activated". All those federal/medical records in it had to be burned instead of shredded. huge security breach. All on the company's ass.
How is that truck still running? o_O 💀

That dude meeting his wife is an epic story 😍
I used to manage a fast food restaurant. Folks please finish your shift before you quit. There are people that can't quit and have to stay. Those people get stuck doing a lot more work and more hours when that stuff happens. Just finish your shift. It's a shit job, but the people who work there aren't.
>It's a shit job, but the people who work there aren't.
not always true
Noted
Yes but sometimes the people that are working there are shit people, and you've had enough. No one should be forced to work in a harsh environment or finishes shift because they don't want to inconvenience someone aceptionally someone who treats them like crap
To all those people: find another job that doesn't have a *sh¡tty manager.*
Its called being a responsible adult. Walking out on a job you accepted because you think someone is mean or the job is too hard isn't realistic when you need an income. Rarely do people walk off because of an incident with a customer. The kind of people who walk out instead of finishing their shift and telling the manager they won't be coming back, are usually the same ones that bounce from dead end job to dead end job anyway. Even college and hs kids that worked for me would be responsible and finish their shifts before telling me they wouldn't be returning. It's a personal choice if someone wants to walk off a job. Just know that most of the time it is wo incident and they usually ask me a month later can they come back. I never rehire anyone I fire for job abandonment.
I know a it guy who haed a big problem with his boss (pay cut or something like that) he got into the it room and deleted everything from all divices of the entire company, he also infected all PCs with a virus and practically destroyed the company (he got legal troubles of course, but the company has gotten bankrupt and closed shortly after)
That's horrible and awesome. Makes me imagine what could be done at mine if someone did that. One can only dream.
@@theonetruesarauniya nah, don't do that, that was really dumb from him, he is likely going to prison...

I got Covid and was outta work for 3 weeks, when I came back they tried to move me to a different department (I loved my job in the other department) but I figured I’ll atleast give it the old college try and the pay was good plus 20 hours OT a week every week, well they showed me to what would be my new job, it was god awful, repetitive motions for 12 hours and the people I saw doing it looked absolutely miserable, we went back to the “Dojo” as they called it to finish some training before I could go out on the floor... They had all the engine parts laid out on the table for me to memorize, I asked if I could use the bathroom quick and they said of course... I still laugh about it to this day, I wonder when they realized “he ain’t taking a shit is he?”
the first guy working in the garage, wow man i would love to meet him someday
24 years and going strong man am i happy for him:)
I wish I could say I quit my most recent job but they actually fired me, but I did get to yell at them while they were firing me. Plus, now everyone still talks shit about me like I'm still working there so that's fun. I constantly get messages from old coworkers saying "Did you hear _______ said _______ about you?" like I'm still there to care about it.
First story is basicly "How i meet your mother" TLDR :D now can we make that an 5-8 season tv show? :D

Yeah, good on him for not completely screwing someone over and wanting to be honest.
When I was around 19 I worked at a truck stop diner owned by Greeks, (I'm Greek and Puerto Rican btw). All of the kitchen staff were Mexican. There was one kitchen employee who literally followed me all over the restaurant every day, asking me to marry him, asking me to go back to Mexico with him, etc. This was a very busy restaurant and every time I turned around this guy was right there. I dealt with it for a few days then at the end of the night on the 3rd night I discreetly pulled my manager aside and explained the situation to him and pointed out it was also sexual harassment. This jackass looked me in my eyes and told me to take it like a woman! I said, oh, okay. Let me show you how a woman would take it then. I went to the kitchen, flung the door open and yelled IMMIGRACIÓN!! All 12-14 kitchen employees flee out the back door. I turn around to walk out the door and as I pass my boss I tell him, "now close this mother****** by yourself, and take THAT like a MAN!!" My dad was pissed when I told him I quit/got fired until I explained it to him...he laughed about it for days.
A lot of these stories are nice fairytales.
It's nice to read creative writing every once and a while
I've found that the case with these and best revenge videos as well.
They all are.
Especially the first one
wish the first one was true tho so pretty... too pretty :s
Hearing all these stories further supports my theory that becoming a manager means having to sacrifice a large portion of your humanity. I swear every Job I've had they always pick the person with the worst people skills to be a manager.
is the Peter Principle, all the good managers leave for higher and/or better paid positions, only the shitty ones remain
I worked at McDonald’s as a teen to. Their was a crew lead who didn’t like me from the first day because as I was learning he said I was “too slow.” I just said ok and moved on cause I didn’t really care about his opinion. Two weeks later everything was pretty slow and I was cleaning off the grill. He walked in and said “why do I do everything so slow?” I was confused and said “you wouldn’t know wtf I was doing if you weren’t watching me 24/7.” He got angry and tried to fight me in the parking lot after that so I took off my apron and threw on the floor and said “aye bro this is McDonalds. If you are on this much of a power trip no wonder 4 people have quit in the 2 weeks I’ve been here.” The GM called me the next day and offered me 10 cent raise as well to come back. I asked “wtf am I gonna do with 10 cents” and hung up.
16:39 My manager could not lead water downhill. In a world of darkness where you held the only light, I still would not follow you.
One of my co-workers who already had another job lined up, basically got up and said in front of a line of 40 customers: “Fuck You all, I’m gonna go watch Game of Thrones”

Rolling in poop? Thats hawt
@@imakrewitatl dude that's fucked up!
Uh i have one work “friend” (i work in IT consulting btw) that ghost us in the middle of big project. We didn’t see it coming cause He left everything in our dorm (all his shoes, clothes, and stuff). When my boss finally can get him in touch (like 2 weeks after he left) the only thing he said is “If I don’t want to get back what will you do HUH?!!”
The thing to take away from this, people: A job isn't worth your happiness, sanity, or pride. If there comes a moment where you ask yourself "Why am I working here?" It's probably a good time to quit. Even if you love your coworkers and it's a good job-- if something about it is stressing you the fuck out, quit it. Being unemployed can be scary, but you'll suddenly have free time and there are always other jobs out there. You'll thank yourself later.
That mechanic 😍

For anyone curious why this seems to happen so often, it's because those scripts are run by at least 2 legal departments, in order to avoid lawsuits and the like if you're called on such activities. As such, they're typically bland and badly written. What he did likely might have gotten the company in trouble, had they been called to court over it, but it does also tend to result in it being more approachable.
2:21 that's a really happy ending 😊
I need these stories every now and then. So satisfying to listen to, having worked so many garbage jobs myself specifically with horrible management.
Worked at jack in the box once. They made me go directly back and forth between cleaning the vents and serving tacos. They talked shit about the workers that worked at least 10 times as hard as I did. On my way home I called them out on their bullying, they just sat there choking. Lost for words. Not soon after I went back, threw my uniform on the counter eye contact included and walked out without saying a word.
That first one is highkey really sweet
2:23 thats just hilarious and *wholesome* 💜💜💓💕💖💗💘❤❤💖💕💓💙💙💝
I used to work for a street sweeping business. The hours were grueling, and I'm pretty sure I got life-threateningly sick off of that job. Anyway, this was about the time that Uber and Lyft came on the scene. I applied to be an Uber driver, tested that out, and brought home just about as much money as I make per week at the street sweeping job. One night, I was supposed to go to work, but I was dog tired, And I really needed to rest; so I emailed my manager and told them in so many words that I'm tired, and I'm tired of being overworked and underpaid. Y'all can take this job and shove it. And I didn't mention the fact that this was not long after I got out of the hospital, and had to take an unpaid leave to recover for 6 weeks.
That first story man!
>people changing the script for telemarketing increases sales. i wonder why companies havent caught on
it probably only works for a day
“Did the brakes.”
Oh I BET they did
My favorite story is that I used to work for a small fence building company. In the south at that. So as you can imagine it’s a bunch of country people.
The owner was a fat lazy POS. We were all underpaid and overworked. And had unsafe working conditions. I was hired on a 90 day temp to hire deal. I should add that I made myself indispensable in that 90 days. Our crew handled all the custom fences (aluminum and the expensive plastic ones) and that after I started productivity went up about 40%. I drove the truck and trailer when needed. Operated large equipment. Handled jobs we didn’t normally do such as grading driveways etc. well when I found out I wasn’t getting hired on at 90 days I took that poorly. I organized a mass quitting. The only people left after was my boss who couldn’t quit as the slumlord owner was renting a trailer to him. And the 16-18 yr olds that worked in the shop making double what the crews were. Even his estimator quit. We then called OSHA on him. And alerted his suppliers that he was violating contracts by modifying prefabricated materials and passing them off as his own.
Wrecked the business, 3 years later it still hasn’t recovered.
Should also add that I went and worked for the local competition immediately after and I also organized a mass quitting there as well. 12 hours into a work day, they were sending us to go start a new job and we had to dig 80 post holes by hand before we could leave. Needless to say that Job didn’t get done. And I was told they regularly would work 16+ hours a day. And still have to come in the next day at regular time. Which is illegal. I had them audited by the state for labor law violations and they had to pay a multi hundred thousand dollar fine.
Don’t treat employees like dogshit if you own a small business.
If I ever quit my job, my ass would be covered, theirs maybe not.
The first story is exactly why my car is sitting in my driveway needing to be fixed. They think because I am a chick that I have no clue how a car works. I do, I took two years of mechanics in school, so I sure as hell know how a car runs. I just lack the tools/jacks and areas to fix it myself.
I plan on taking my schools auto maintenance course once I get a car just to avoid getting screwed over like that
The problem with changing your sales pitch = more sales is that the sales pitches are generally designed to avoid anything illegal, so straying too far from the script can get you and your company in a lot of trouble. Not that I haven't occasionally done this in the heat of the moment from time-to-time. Thank God I don't work sales any more though. I'm now on the Customer Service side. I'm paid more, treated like a human, and only have to do 10-12 calls a day (15 on a really busy day), and I have to find solutions for Customers, so I'm allowed to speak to them like a normal person most of the time. (Aside from the scripted response when answering the phone.)
I got a story. Tell me if I should post this to reddit with more details. I worked at a restaurant who had a problem employee. He was a drug addict. IV type drugs. He shot up in the bathroom on the diaper changing station. I was in charge of cleaning everything including the bathrooms every 30 minutes. He would be in the same position in the bathroom in front of the changing station for 30 to 50 minutes everyday he was on shift. I took pictures of the mess he left behind and the carbon transfer caused by setting the spoon down with carbon buildup on the station. I sanitized thw whole bathroom after everytime. I reported his drug use by following the procedure on the manual. I was given a write up for violating his privacy, one for insubordination, and one for harassment. I said I cannot work here because you have created a hostile work environment. I then headed for the backdoor and told my brother, the cook, that I quit because they, the uppermanagement, were defending a drug addict and endangering the welfare of the customers. The management then treated me like a hostile guest and forced me out of the building ignoring the fact I was already leaving and banned me from my ride. My brother drove me to work. He told them they were morons and if they didnt want to be down a cook too they were going to let him find me and return me home 50 miles away. I contacted the bbb and corporate hq and the various local news organizations. The druggy was defended by the management but corporate gave the order to fire him. I did not return to that job. For those who must know. The restaurant had a fruit and an insect in its one word name. Way more details available. Respond to this if I should post to reddit.
Please, go for it!
A fruit and an insect? Papa johns?
That first story is very wholesome. :)
wish i could quit my last job like these people
one day i was just on my limit after working alone on a pizzeria for a whole month, having bake pizzas,o clean the place , and also take care of a second kitchen preparing food for the next day lunch and ,since i was extremely burned out i decided on my only free day on the week to go there and talk with my boss that i was thinking about quit that job
his answer was " no you will not quit, and you also will come here later and help clean this place up because you are doing a shitty job"
i said ok and ghosted the place
luckly today im doing twice the money i did on that place selling art comissions at home
I heard the first story in another video so long ago and spent so long trying to find it again. Here it is literally the first story

I work in the pool industry we had a guy shit in about 5 customer chlorinators on his route then drive back to the shop and drop a 25 lb bucket of dog shit on the front door step and leave.

Hell yeah!!!
If You can do it and work retail big box stores and convince others to do it have a mass resignation on Thanksgiving or the day before work your shift, clock out hand your manager a letter saying you Quit/Resign effective immediately. they plan on having 200 workers on the clock for Black Friday they only have the managers and have other unscheduled employees turning their phones off or temporarily blocking their work number and any managers personal cell number.
Be careful if you do something similar to the toilet one. Water shooting into a person's rectum can actually kill them and you'd get charged with manslaugther at best or even 3rd degree murder.
I doubt that would be possible under those circumstances, but I do remember our "shop" teacher pointing out that shoving the compressed air nozzle up someone's rear and turning on the air would probably lead to burst bowels and a very serious hospital visit. He didn't bother pointing out the legal implications because we were all old enough to figure it out. I don't remember anyone in that class ever even hinting at playing with the compressed air.
Hahaha! The business card placed on the turd made me spray my half chewed fried rice 😂
Why I listen to these while eating I'll never understand.
I've lost two keyboards and several cups of coffee.
I keep watching these even though I politely gave my boss a 2 weeks notice that I am now working through. And I didn't tell him why I am leaving so all he could say was "well, all righty then" after several silent minutes
I love how one guy says "going all ducking out"
Then the next guy avtually goes all ducking out.
Lmfao
Haha that first story was actually really cute lol. Also the one with the Christmas card was hilarious.
12:20 You'd think if he was gonna put that much into it, he'd figure out the best time.
that sympathy card one is gold!
I worked at McDonald's for nine years. This one Saturday morning, we were down three people, and I was stationed to work breakfast grill by myself in the middle of breakfast rush while there is a BOGO sale on McMuffins. I had folded eggs, scrambled eggs, hotcakes, sausage, bacon, muffin eggs, and burrito mix all on the grill. Cinnamon rolls, bagels, and biscuits in the oven. Everything was burning. A newly promoted manager with swelled head syndrome went back there and started yelling at me because I couldn't magically pull everything off three different grills and two ovens at exactly the same time. I just looked at her and said, "If you think you can do any better, then do it yourself." I punched out and left. She didn't know how to cook breakfast.
When I got home, my mom asked me what happened so I told her the truth. She drove up there and was going to yell at that manager, but manager was on the floor in uncontrollable tears, drive thru line was wrapped around the parking lot twice. Cashiers giving out free coffee because nobody could cook. They were waiting on relief cooks to come from a different store.
I had no regrets. I found a job making more money with lots of benefits a week later. When hiring manager asked why I left, I simply told him I got burned out.
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG !!!! The pressurized toilet !!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That first one??? Awww that’s so fucking adorable🥺💗
In regards to the first story, the guy who worked at Midas, I work in a garage and we did rear drum brakes on one of our personal cars, a Chevy cobalt. We just did shoes and drums, we were lazy and didn't replace the hardware because it looked alright. The next day they took it on the interstate and the springs broke. We all learned a lesson that day, don't be lazy when it comes to cars.
A 10¢ raise to stay at a mc donalds job after you decide your finally fed up with it... Nope...
I don't understand companies with aggressive sales tactics I had highest Sales in the nation for the company I worked for and I didn't use any of their aggressive sales tactics they wanted me to literally put stuff in people's carts without their permission, I think it's funny too because everybody that followed the rules at the store failed to sell stuff
Ugh I hate it when places fire people immediately for giving their 2 weeks. Call center I worked at would do that, not to everyone though depended on your relationship with management and numbers but everyone who tried to give notice was rolling the dice.
I have almost always had a new job lined up with a tentative start date before giving any notice to an old employer for exactly this reason, especially when a company was known for this. The New employer had usually been told ahead of time that I needed to give a proper notice, but I would give it on a Friday, and probably ACTUALLY be available to start the following Monday or Tuesday, unless they heard from me to say I hadn't been released...
Gotta admit, that service manager was one hell of a wingman
I HAD a plan for this if I ever felt I was unjustly screwed over at my job at a videogame rental store, since most of the games were downloaded and a good chunk of them needed specific accounts to get in. My plan was that, on my last day I would spend my time completely wiping EVERYTHING they had in the hard drives of the consoles, forcing them to have to download everything again, having to recover the accounts, and being screwed over with the games that had unlockables and progress saved to them.
Luckily, I never had to resort to it. When I eventually left the store, I was in good terms with my boss.
I remember I worked at a foodlion when I was 16 and felt so shitty everyday because I was dealing with at home drama. I walked out crying like a little bitch after I used the store phone for mommy to come pick me up
I had 30 minutes left of my shift then I was moving across the country. I lifted the tray “incorrectly” to move it 6inches to load it with coffee, the owner got all in my face yelling how I still didn’t know to correctly lift a tray.
So I picked it up, looked him straight in the eye then because I physically cannot hold the tray “correctly” (muscle issues, which I had explained over the 2 years I worked there) and dropped the $30 dollars of juice/coffee/soda right on the floor and left
That last one was the best
I'm a LARPer.
After 5 years of bullying at the golden arches, I was begged to go 1 day over my notice to work one final Saturday because the nearby cinema had the opening night of Harry Potter, and there was also a huge sports event. It was common for the line to go out the store and around the block for just one of those two things.
Then half the kitchen called out sick. I was asked for 2 more hours to cover the rush, and did the work of a manager and two other people while my brother and his friends cheered me on.
I was applauded on clock out. But I got to my car and remembered I needed my payslip. So I grabbed my belt and slung my biggest, angriest looking LARP mace and casually walked back in to get it.
I'll never forget the look on my manager's face.
The first guy definitely had the Midas touch. Lol.
16:45 "High" employee upon being fired says to boss, "In a world of darkness, where you carried the only light. I still wouldn't follow you".
This left me thinking of two responses she might have had: "If I carried the only light and saw you coming, I'd turn off the light to make sure you stumbled away into the darkness and out of my life" or "If I carried the only light, in my other hand I'd be carrying a gun and I'd send you to another world of even deeper darkness and everyone would thank me. _Now get out."_
After this story, the rest went downhill fast until I stopped reading because I couldn't sympathize with the story tellesr (edited later: "tellers"). They seemed all to be dicks.
For a more natural version of the second one with the gun: “... I’d set you on fire with it, and everyone would be happy because at least then you would be useful.”
@@KnakuanaRka -- viewers of this video wouldn't be at all sympathetic to high guy if it turned out he was the son of one of the CEOs and frequently showed his distaste for his job, his coworkers (or servants?) and the company in total.
Well, the boss was good for once.
Omggg the best story of love and kindness everrr. I have goosebumps all over thank you beautiful souls ..
My last job wanted the "women owned" label and fired or moved every male manager and replaced them with soccer moms that had never held a job before. I watched them screw up everything and destroy every procedure for assembly before I left. That place sunk quickly.
That is discrimination, sue the hell out of her. She can go to jail for that.
That first story was great
Oh man that first story is soo good, I listened to it twice
What the heck is "Compassionate Leave?" Is that yet another benefit that doesn't exist in the U.S.? We get 5 sick days a year and maybe 2 weeks of vacation if you have been working at your job for 10+ years.
I believe that’s UK version of the US Federal FMLA, Family and Medical Leave Act
The first one was very nais
When I was working at dq, we hit a really big rush, (2 buses and a bunch of spectators) (soccer season), We’ll make a long story short, I got mad, I went out for a “smoke break” set my apron and hat down, outside the door got in my car, and drove home. I went back about an hour later and they were even more full than when I left, it was a good day.
17:06 that person is my hero
Listening to the telemarketing story makes me wonder if the script is for accessibility and liability rather than to make sales, but some companies take it too much to heart. By having a script, the team members who struggle with conversation have a base to work with, but it's being shown that taking initiative and communicating a bit more ab-lib and sounding more sociable increases sales. That said, it gives the company an out if an employee fails to sell and goes off script; they go off script and make more sales, then they are worth keeping, but if they go off script and fail, it makes it easier to have solid ground to terminate.
