I don't drink coffee and even I think banning coffee on the job is BS...
Lmaoo yes
I would encourage orange juice instead of coffee but not ban coffee.
@@amariah1980 workers need caffeine to keep working... OJ is healthy, but useless in keeping workers working. :P

Used to work at Walmart, they were giving a group of about a dozen or so new hires a tour of the store when they came to the till where cigarettes are sold just as a minor (not even 15) tried to buy smokes and the HR person giving the tour thought it would be a good idea to stop so the newbies could get an idea of how to handle such a thing.
The cashier politely informed the kid that they couldn't sell tobacco products without an ID so the kid shouted to his mom, who was a couple people further back in the line because he got to the till before she did, that the cashier wouldn't let him buy smokes
Mom was surprised that they wouldn't sell smoke to just anybody and not happy that the line was being help up so she pushed her way to the front saying "Fine, I'll pay for them! He smokes mine all the time anyway!"
Cashier regretfully informed her that she had to deny the sale because not only was her son underage but it was against the law for her to give him hers so we couldn't sell them to her either.
The mom tried to strangle her over the counter and all this poor girl could do was stand back out of her reach until help arrived because, as the newbies were told, employees weren't allowed to fight back because if the customer sued for assault or damages the company was liable, they could only wait for a manager to get Asset Protection there to escort the customer out.
We had at least twenty employees quit after that because no one felt safe in a work environment where we were expected to let angry customers beat us up if they wanted until someone more important showed up to ask them to stop.
I would have just pleaded self defense, they can't deny that right
I hope the crazy Karen is in jail now😒
I definitely wouldn't want to work there after that either!!
I’m kinda confused here. Wouldn’t Walmart go court either way? I’m mean the employee could have got serious hurt because a very flaw policy. The mom get her ass hand because of her actions sounds much easier to defend versus our policy got an employee hurt.
Profits over safety.... typical.

At my first job ever we had shelf stockers who liked to take a big jar of cinnamon sticks from the shelves. They only took 1 jar a month and used it to flavor the coffee. A handful of them quit when a sign was posted saying to buy their own cinnamon.

Moral of the story, employees aren't actually expendable.
Years ago I was laid off when I needed to work remotely because of a complicated pregnancy. They didn't want to have to pay me *quote from internal email * sit on my ass for 3 months then have me taking up space another 12 months doing nothing while I deal with my crotch fruit.
They accidentally cc'ed my old supervisor when he begged them to bring me back because I ran the dialer and wasn't expendable. He locked the dialer, forward the email to me and the whole company. 2/3 of people walked out. The agency had to close within a week because they couldn't get into the dialer, couldn't find 200 people to replace the agents, couldn't find replacement HR, could replace management and IT was unwilling to help.
Incompetence is the killer of industry
Crotch fruit? Never heard that one before.
Nah, greed is.
There was another story on one of these about an old-school engineer who was getting good pay to maintain all the creaky old equipment management didn't want to pay to replace. They decided all he did was "watch the machines" and replaced him with somebody minimum-wage. Inevitably everything failed. He also had a notebook with notes on how to fix everything, but he'd incinerated it as it had "private company information" or something, and he no longer worked there.
Surprised he didn't get sued for company sabotage for locking the dialer. Never heard the term crotch fruit either.

It would actually feel like a major milestone because one of your biggest competitors is dying. You'd be opening the good scotch whisky THAT NIGHT.

When I was 14 I got a summer job working as a hand doing concrete (for atrocious pay, but because I was 14 and making a few $ above minimum wage I didn’t complain.) During the mornings we would arrive at the bosses house and load up the material and machines and we called it “trailer time” and we would spend about 30 mins to an hour loading the materials and machines, then we would be off the clock until we arrived at the job site. Came back the next summer with more experience and with that I got a raise and stayed for that summer as well and learned to finish concrete, then eventually set up jobs, figure out material cost and the more technical and less labor intensive side of concrete. Trailer time was still something we had and would spend about 3-4 hours a week doing accumulatively. School came back once again and when we finished I went back out to do concrete making a pretty penny for a 17 year old, and we had several new hands who were green, but something had changed while I was at school, the boss had broken his back in an ATV accident and hired his friend to take over, he quit with trailer time, didn’t keep our time logged right, was just an asshole, and one day he got pissy because our crew which had been up since 5:30, worked all day with no lunch, setting forms, grading, dug beams, and had just laid poly down started dragging up, (it was about 7:30) it was starting to get dark and he said we weren’t leaving until we had all the wire and rebar done which would have been at least another hour and a half to two hours (5600 sq ft shop we were pouring.) The new boss is shouting berating us telling us if we don’t work then tomorrow he’ll have Mexicans here for half the price, and one old timer there calls his bluff and said he was done and that if anyone else was ready to leave to get in his truck and he’ll bring them home, everyone on that job squeezed into the cab and bed and left the boss on the job and didn’t show up next morning to finish the wire and rebar. Concrete trucks started arriving and he had no help but the 3 Mexicans we use to help us finish on pour days, the boss that had broken his back had called me a few days later and asked if I was willing to work, and I said yeah, I show up next morning and all of our old crew is there and the dick head boss isn’t, boss procedes to tell us he’s sorry and that he’ll be on the job site as much as he can and made the old timer the new boss as well.
Well atleast it had a happy ending
@@ntfoperative9432 my same exact thought
Beginning, middle and happy ending 😄
It still baffles me how power, even over just a scant few people, is so intoxicating that it makes you think you no longer need to be a decent human being, that those under your command _will_ and _must_ do as they're told. I'm wondering if parents going "because I said so" has anything to do with it.
Thats a good story and happy end
Wasn't a mass mutiny or anything, but reminds me of about 8 years ago I walked into a taco bell for lunch, and noticed they were hiring. I hated my current job so thought fuck it and asked for an interview.. interview went well, however I was very specific that I would ONLY work for them if I got at least 12$ an hour, and worked every monday-friday 11am-7pm. The manager agreed to my terms.. I finished the training, and the following Monday I woke up and was getting ready to head in, I noticed I had several missed calls from the manager. I called back and got yelled out for apparently missing my shift, they scheduled me to work 4am to 9am, then later 7pm to 10pm that day and I missed the first half of my shift. I never laughed so hard at an employer in my life, and simply said I won't be showing up for the next one either. Hung up, never talked to them again😂

Look up some videos, it’s really cool
Let this be a lesson: If you’re a manager or in charge of people at work, listen to your workers. Treat them like the human beings they are. If you don’t know certain things needed to make a decision, don’t be afraid to ask.
So, basically, the new people in charge either put abusive/stupid rules/goals.
or just try to make the company a super standard, boring corporation, I can sort of understand this, but you dont need to go full on corporation or just be "another corporation"

Not my work, but my Dad’s.
He was the one who kept the place together for 20 years. He knew how to work and fix every machine correctly, he cleaned up after everyone, worked all day and all night, he dealt with his shitty boss. He got the money he needed in order to quit and find a new job that he liked. So, he quit.
The whole place fell apart. After he left, so many people quit that the entire place had to shut down.
Don’t be like him. Don’t be so hardworking that whatever shitty company you work for relies on you. Because it almost drove him to s*icide.
I keep places together but NOBODY should be that hard run that they even endanger their sanity for a place. I heard of a guy whose dad was essentially having nightmares and PTSD from a place. And somehow you think we all want to become Americans. I work in a place that I have been at for only 8 weeks. This Friday they said they want me permanent. In that time 3 incompetent people have been fired and 2 have quit after a day. Agency just keeps sending inexperienced people with NO clue. One said he had 5 years experience but couldn't even grasp the concept that a warehouse needs to fulfil orders. Unbelievable. Same guy was meant to stretch wrap pallets I bought out. Started using the wrapper UPSIDE DOWN with his 5 years experience. Then got the idea and used it the right way. Done one, spent 15 minutes staring at the sky, done a second one, then went to the toilet for 10 minutes. In this time I have stacked boxes onto and bought out 8 pallets. African guy. And they wonder why Africa is such a poor hellhole. Tried to make excuses to get Monday and Tuesdays off. Only working 3 days a week and has a brand new car under finance....
I worked a few years at a gas station, and I shit you not, I was one of the only two people working during my shift. Never got a raise, but they gave a coworker who sat on her ass all day two raises. On New Years Eve I had to go to the kitchen and teach myself how to make pizzas because the employee that a different store loaned to us didn’t know shit, and she and the manager stuck me in the kitchen doing the dishes while they just talked and talked at the register. It took me going up to them, on the brink of tears, begging them for help or else the dishes won’t get done no matter how hard I worked, when she threw up her hands and said that we can just leave it for the people in the morning. The same manager also tried to revoke vacation time that she already proved, and actually succeeded a few times by “forgetting” that I asked for time off, but the schedule was final, and she even tried calling me in for work on vacation that did get approved, even when I was hundreds of miles away.
The straw the broke the camels back was when I forgot to check someone’s ID to sell cigarettes, and I got suspended for a week. Granted, the person was of age, but that was part of a sting that the company sends out on their own, instead of a police matter. The same day, a friend of the family asked me to work for him, and I jumped on that, but that’s beside the point. What really set me off was the day before my suspension was lifted, my manager called me asking if I could come in and work. When I asked her about my suspension, she casually said they didn’t actually have to suspend me. And that was the final nail in the coffin.
Fast forward a month later, my former manager asks me to come in to work because, and I’m not making this up, she forgot that I quit. lol
Nowadays I go back to that gas station, and they’re still struggling. The place is a mess, stuff constantly needs to be stocked, and I usually see at least two, maybe three people working the register at a time. It’s nice to know that it takes multiple people to do the job I once did, and I’m away from that cunt manager (who thankfully got fired a couple months after I quit)
It's amazing how common it is for owners to not understand that they need their employees.
They view their employees as numbers rather than people but wonder why they have such high turnover rates.
My last manager figured there were always more where that came from. Some people last a month, some a week, some walk off after one day. The people who stay have been there decades (prior to this manager) and they are staying to get their pensions. When they cash out I wonder who he will use for staff?
At one of the schools I worked at, the boss pushed a little boy off this mini staircase that lead to the sink (the sink was about four feet high, so students needed stairs to get to it) because she thought he was taking too long to wash his hands. I didn't see it (two other teachers did) but I don't believe he was, she would yell at me for letting kids take too long to wash their hands if it took 8 seconds or more, even though I was supposed to count to 20 with each kid.
This was at least her third allegation where CPS stepped in, since my seven months of being there. I didn't see any of them but when CPS did investigate, I did tell them about another instance I had seen that parents hadn't reported.
Corporate STILL didn't want to fire her! She had six week PAID suspension (she hadn't gotten paid suspensions the first several instances) until 4/7 employees said they would quit if she wasn't fired. Then they fired her two weeks before her suspension ended.
Dayumm what a b

I actually have one too. I was 20 and working as a cashier at this big home improvement store parttime. 4 other cashiers and I were pretty close as a friend group when a new girl was introduced to us, let's call her Amy. Now Amy was a sweet, caring and loving girl, we took her into our friend group and all was well. Now Amy came to the store under a program for "less intelligent youngsters". It's basically a government program that helps youth that don't preform like the "norm" get jobs. But Amy was really sweet, she just needed a bit more explaining then usual and she would do her job perfectly. So all was well, we thought.
Well, yeah no. Some of the more popular cashiers and even some of the head cashiers would bully Amy. Some examples:
-Say there were 4 cashiers for the day, including Amy. Cashiers 1-3 would be placed on registers 13-15 and Amy would be placed at nr1. All alone.
-If anybody had some candy and shared with the other cashiers Amy would be "skipped".
-On less busy days cashiers could be revered to another department for some simple tasks, like cleaning, vacuuming or wattering plants. This could be a fun little excursion for us. But Amy was never allowed to go do that.
One busy Saturday our entire group was working registers. The last few opening hours were always quite so Amy asked the head cashier if she could go to the plant department and sweep the floors. The head cashier literally said; "no, your too R-word for that". The popular cashiers laughed while our friend group just looked on in shock. Amy started crying and we had enough. We all quit on the spot. Took Amy with us and made sure this was reported with the government program.
Amy has been a cashier at a smaller store for the last 10 years now, a place where they really appreciate her and she loves to work at.
I quit a job as trainee at a mechanics shop, they treated me like i was retarded, the apprentice who i was assigned to, was the only normal person there. The mechanic-
put a
apprentice under a car without the necessary security standards needless to say it was the fault of the mechanic who put him there. The Owner of the shop, took the light of the hand of the apprentice and beat with that
and i was right behind him. The apprentice cried, i took him outside and told him, he should quit and i can testify for him, but he said he cant, he cant lose this job. After i talked to him, i went to change my clothes and went home. Nobody bothered to call me.
Not even one year later, the owner had a car accident with a ghost rider, where he is brother died and he a broken neck, had to use a wheelchair and had to use crutches for 5 years and he nearly lost everything he build in his life. Karma is a bitch.
@@ibobeko4309 nice
Good for you and your friends for defending her. In a grocers I worked for, I had been working there for a couple of months and was not aware that software calculated the 'scans per minute'. Apparently mine was very high but I didn't even know it was measured. One day 2 of the senior cashiers ambushed me and said I was 'too fast at the til' I actually laughed at this. So they changed it to "You don't bag correctly" despite having customer reviews how well I bagged. They changed the set up of my til so the bags were way out of my reach and at the wrong height saying "THAT will slow you down....." I do not work there any more.....
Worked in dental office where wife of dentist was manager. Did a lot of cash business. Wife would scoop out cash from drawer and go shopping every day. Dentist called meeting about missing cash
Wife blamed staff. Staff told truth. Dentist said we would all get pay cut to make up for our theft. 10 people(entire staff) walked out.
I worked in dentistry for about 10 years and don't EVER take a job in a clinic where the wife is a manager. It NEVER goes well. Whenever she had something against one of the assistants she would say "You're replaceable, you know". Everyone living one edge. Every. Single. Day.
Not me, but a friend of mine worked at a company with a very laid back policy
"What you do off the clock is your business, but what you do on the clock is ours"
Basically, smoke and drink all you want at home, but when you're here, you're sober.
New manager got rid of that policy and said all employees would have to submit to bi-monthly drug tests.
Apparently out of the 30ish employees that worked there, all but 6 quit before the first test.
Not sure if the company went under or not, but a bit of advice for any business owners: if you have an employee that smokes after work, but it doesn't impact their workplace performance, just let them smoke.

Your company doesn't care about something happening to other people. The only thing important is if it affects the business or not.
Also, If you're restricting your coworkers to not drink while off-ours, you should pay them for these hours. Them not drinking is basically a service they provide your business with.
With many sectors btw people tend to need those stress relieving items to do their jobs properly. Good luck telling your airline traffic controller to not smoke.... Those people need a break every 2 hours because of the stress they undergo.

Me and this girl and a couple of other guys were at work working over night.
Everything was going downhill. The food was about to run out, and the people before us in the last shift didn’t do anything they were supposed to do, they left nothing in right orders and it just made our job even harder.
I addressed everything to the manager and she smirked and said “yea whatever” and walked away. I continued to work and the girl said “I don’t get payed enough for this shit” and I said “I agree 100%” and eventually at the end of the night all of us ended up leaving and the manager regretted it because they ended up having to close the shop during the night
I've been working in Germany for 6 years now. Doing what I do, you aren't going to become rich unless you go into business for yourself. But in comparison to the US or Canada, it's heaven to work there. You're only ever going to work overtime if you personally agree to it. If you're sick, you just call in.

My dad was the lieutenant at a police department for 14 years. His chief retired and the job was almost certainly my dads. He had already worked as the chief for 2 years when the actual chief was at the FBI academy as an instructor. 3 years prior to this my dad pulled over the mayors son for a DUI and refused to let him off because of who his mom was. The mayor drove down to the stop in the middle of it happening and repeatedly told my dad to let him off with a warning essentially because of her name.
Comes time for the new chief’s higher date she gave it to someone unqualified and inexperienced. 3 police officers quit that day (including my dad); 7 more officers left within the next month and 6 more officers left by the end of that year. So in total within a year of the chiefs new higher he lost the lieutenant, 3 sergeants, 2 detectives, and 10 road guys (6 of them had over 4 years of experience).
The mayor was later investigated for an unrelated reason by the same police department. One of the road guys that stayed past my dad leaving was promoted into the role of detective and dug up all this information. She tried using her name to get the investigation dismissed once again. One of the new detectives was going to sweep it under the rug until the other went above all of their heads and contacted the counties and governor’s office. He turned over his findings. The detective that was going to sweep it under the rug was fired and got his POST certification taken away (POST is what you need to be a police officer). The mayor was then contacted by the governor and was told she could resign or other action would be taken. She resigned and moved 5 states away the next week.

As an independent truck driver, I've had a lot of fun with this kind of crap over the years. Spent 7 years on contract to the Canadian LTL division of a multinational shipping corporation. The early years I spent there, management was good. Looked after us, encouraged us to grow, held the occasional cookout for good performance. Then the guy in charge of Contractor Relations got fired, and the guy who replaced him was hostile. Tried to treat contractors like employees. I decided it was time to go when our toll cards weren't being paid on time and neither were we. A lot of people who I used to travel the road with have since followed suit because the company decided that contractors are replaceable. My understanding is that it's become a revolving door company, despite the well-known name, and growth has been stagnant because nobody cares anymore.
Bad management will ruin a good company, and not even a union can fix that.

This entire video is basically why you need a union and employee ownership within a company
Winco is an employee owned business. It’s the only one I know
Idk, this is actually just capitalism. If you treat your employees well, they will help u have a better product/ steal employees from bad companies.
I worked for a company that was employee owned. They use to treat their employees well. But, now they’re doing things like taking away their bonus and giving us the raise we asked for because they were listening to us. Ultimately it reduced everyone’s salary.
I recently spoke with a guy in the union. He quit because they rammed politics down his throat. The extra money the employees in the union made (as in above non union workers) were all payed back in dues.
Yes, and it's not comunism. That's why Walmart failed in Germany
Unions aren't end all be all either though. Say the company is good and unionized. The union protects all the lazy people or people making mistakes all the time as well.
That’s indeed how capitalism works. Companies that treat their employees well prosper, those that don’t eventually see everyone quit. But clever companies that can treat their employees juuuust bad enough that they don’t quit but the company still saves money do even better. Case in point: Walmart. Also the companies that fall apart because they treat employees like garbage still take some of those employees into unemployment and poverty with them. It’s not a perfect system any more than communism or socialism is. Personally I think a hybrid system of capitalism and socialism would better shore up the weaknesses of both systems.
My boss wouldn’t let anyone choose their hours and started forcing people to work, so it was gonna happen and people were gonna start quitting. Then one day, we found out that the boss was starting to ask female employees under 18 out on dates (he was like 40). So at this point we all quit pretty much.
A good friend died due to equipment malfunction and the company played it off like he had a heart attack and crashed. They started firing people who were witnesses that day and eventually everyone (including myself) said fuck that and left to work at a competitor warehouse 🤷🏽♀️ not just that, but the maintenance team started doing stuff before OSHA arrived and it was all just hella sketchy
About had most of my department in a factory almost quit over radios not being allowed, it was swiftly taken down as a idea for management. Don’t mess with peoples only shred of things that get your workers through the day, just ask them if they could not have them so loud.
Earbuds?
I worked in sales. The type where you knock on random peoples doors and read a script to them. Sure most people slam the door in our faces but you only need 1 contract deal a day to make a grand per week. Anyway, winter came around and it was very cold. Sometimes it was 20 degrees away from being sub 0. This meant people slammed the door more often because the cold air was getting in. Horrible season for the job. Since we were 'independent contractors' and not employees we could stay home for a month and return whenever. Half of us planned on simply waiting for the weather to improve. When the manager heard this he became enraged. Every Thursday he had paycheques. But in late December he began to "forget". He did this so we would show up the next day. He kept forgetting for nearly 2 weeks. "Come check back tomorrow. But for now...." He would always say. Eventually 1/3 of the crew staged a sit in protest. The manager had the nerve to ask the supervisors to come to his house and pick up everyones cheques. The supervisors said no. So the manager was forced to drive by. He showed up complaining about how the protest ruined his dinner. The protestors received their cheques and drove away when the manager began to complain about the "lack of sales today".
Christmas eve came and obviously we all planned on shopping instead of working. The manager called all of us and told us to show up for easy money. He hinted basically to do some of the work for us + bonus gifts. I was one of the few stupid ones to show up. I arrived at the main office as usual and it was closed. Me and 1 supervisor waited only to receive a call telling us to just get in the company van and work. Almost no one was home to answer knocking because they were either out shopping or visiting family. Sometimes we walked into a party and they were angry at us for interrupting. 3/4 of the team quit after December. I stayed until January when my coworker spilled soda in the company van. The manager said if no one takes responsibility then he will split the cleaning fee and deduct from cheques accordingly. The first supervisor quit when the manager tried to force him to pay for the crew's meals for a week. Sadly the last supervisor got a spine injury and had to leave. Manager was "relocated" when all 12 sales members left and he didnt have a recruiter to replace them.
While not everyone ended up quitting right away, there was a day when the store manager asked a few of us to stay late to help with stocking the place. The thing is, she didn't tell us we couldn't leave until the backroom was moderately empty. We found that out at about midnight when she started yelling at us that we need to work faster and finally said 'no one is leaving until that backroom is empty.' We were there until 4 am and I had class the following morning (ie, in 3 hours).
She also tried to pit us against each other for things that had been going 'wrong' at the store, namely things not getting done. Most of the things that weren't getting done were projects the manager and assistant manager were working on or were instructed to leave be until the next day / later. I came so close to yelling at her that I still wish I had to this day.
Needless to say, a few people quit within the next week. I would have too except my sister told me not to- too many bills to pay for to just give up my income. I thankfully no longer work there.

Worked for a radio station. Was the #1 show on the station that had a RABID fan base. Station owner hired a friend that was blackballed from all other stations that catered to our demo group. Within 30 minutes of his promotion to Station Manager against the will of the people there, they decided to cut my show. I got picked up at a different station as the flagship show after 2 weeks and the entire staff quit the other station to come work at the station i went to. The station I was canned from folded within 3 months. Made me feel like a mob boss.
One of my first jobs was a dishwasher at Outback Steakhouse, they used to let me use rubber gloves to protect my hands from the hot dishes coming out of the back of the washer... Then one day, without legitimate reason, basically to pinch pennies, they refused to supply gloves, and even refused to let me supply my own, citing supposed sanitary violations... It was so frustrating, that me and my partner who was a personal friend who got the job at the same time as me, quit. As we were leaving to go home, the lowest cook in the shift who had just arrived, quit too, because he was gonna have to cover for our position that day. All to save a few bucks a week.

I've always been the employee management and coworkers come to for help and advice. One day, the shop foreman was berating and belittling an employee in front of everyone. I intervened and confronted the foreman about taking it behind closed doors or treating people in a professional manner with dignity and respect. He started to yell at me and do the same thing. I told him I quit, and I hope he now knows that everyone just saw him for who he is and I can choose who to be loyal too. You can't put a price on loyalty.
I left, and 3 people walked off with me as I left. It caught me off guard. I told them my decision shouldn't be theirs and to consider their current at home budget. They still left, and the next day 7 more employees quit because of another outburst.
The owner offered me my job back 3 days later but said the shop foreman was still there because of the union.
I declined.
I worked for Europe’s largest engineering firm, on a contract in Australia. 5 out of 7 engineers walked after a new ‘manager’ lied and said that the client insisted we work for 8 weeks straight then rotate back to the UK for 2 weeks until the job was completed. (Increase from 6 on 3 off). Plus they lied to the Australian government about our salaries (they were too low for visas to be granted). In fact they mostly lied about everything. As commissioning engineers, we were being paid less than the local cleaners. That company had at least a 20% annual staff churn rate in my department. Probably still does.
Customer service here. When I quit because they permanently blamed me for their mistakes, ignoring all the proof I'm clear that I handed over without looking into it, they tried to replace me by making the other workers learn Italian, English, Dutch, Danish, and French within 2 weeks since I spoke that and no one else did. My coworkers pretty quickly realized they are fucked and quit over 3 days so the company didn't have a single customer service worker left.

I worked at Sonic and I always had to worked 6-7 hour shifts at age 16. When school started they refused to let me leave work at 10pm and still had me working till 11-12 which stressed me tf out. I didn’t have enough time to do my homework and my grades were dropping.
@@liwojenkins We didn’t even get breaks 💀 My aunt told me to let them fire me so I could sue them but I honestly just hated being there so I left as soon as I could.

Story #1-(rotating shifts) They WANTED people to quit.
The best ones are when everyone leaves AND the company flunks
Used to work at giant. I worked full time despite going to school full time too taking 4-5 classes a semester. I got a new store manager but same department managers stayed. I asked store manager for a couple days off and she tells me ask my department manager cause he’ll be making the schedule. I tell him and he agrees. I literally asked for a Tuesday and Wednesday off. That’s it. And everyone was okay with it. Anyways she decides to change the schedule Sunday without telling us. Normally schedules are done the Friday before the week. So she basically changed it the same Sunday starting week. She forces me to work and denies my vacation that comes a month later when the previous store manager approved. Only because there’s a new cashier hired... note I was a produce clerk, why did that matter. I also did cashier, grocery, HBC, CAO, and frozen if needed. But my main department was produce. So issues arose and I quit. I was very like able by many other associated and they followed after the departments started to fall behind because I was a fast worker. I was always scheduled alone and got as much work done as 2-3 people done in the same shift. So more people had to be hired, and more people left because of the stress load. Then the new store manager lost her shit and got more stressed cause numbers went down. So she got strict, then more people quit. I created a domino effect.
good on you the manager deserved it

At my Dads office these little Cuban ladies would walk around handing out home made Cuban coffee paid for by the company. At 12 everyone was rewired for the remainder of the day.
No real reason. A lot of us just hated our general manager for acting like a microdick 24/7 so we just wanted to see him squirm as we all walked out so we planned a day where all of us had the same shift and then dropped the news. Ended up shutting down the store for two days.
Worked for a telemarketing company, we were leased out to take or make calls for different companies. One day we were all called into a meeting to discuss the new client that we would be taking calls for and were told our hours would go from 9-5 over to 3pm to 12am.
The majority of people working there were either older people who went to bed at 9pm or women with children, so needless to say that meeting ended with a lot of people putting in their two weeks. By the second week of taking calls for this client our floor count had gone from roughly 20 people down to 4. On top of that, the job only really paid about $9.50/hr.
This really isn’t all at once. But I HAD a friend who’s dad owns his own company. This company does tree work. I worked for them on and off hoping they got their shit together. When I was there the boss would fail to pay us our full checks. He wouldn’t find us work. One time a climber quit cuz we weren’t paid our full checks but he bought his son a brand new stereo system for his truck. I saw so many employees come and go and they’re still failing. The boss will talk about how he went to the casino the other day and continue to pay you half your check.
Not to mention they took me from $15/hr down to $8/hr
I think the minimum for small claims court is about 300 in my state. I would check your state. It really might be worth it. Especially since the people requesting the work are paying your boss.

While trying to save money for college I spent over a year working for a 24-hour restaurant (major chain). We had a decent head manager, but when he was promoted to regional manager things went bad. He wasn't good at that job. He had his wife, a waitress, trained as management and gave HER the head management position he had just left, in stead of promoting one of the other managers (all of them good and experienced). She proceeded to make (stupid) changes solely to "establish her authority", which caused problems for the operation of our restaurant as a whole. Her husband had to keep coming in and fixing her mistakes to keep her looking good to the higher-ups. Then she decided to fire one waitress, M. Granted, M wasn't the friendliest person socially, but she was a GREAT waitress and the customers loved her (and her coworkers had a LOT of respect for her). Mrs. Newbie Manager decided to fire M publicly, in an all-employee meeting of the restaurant. The only two who didn't quit on the spot and follow M out the door were the two running the restaurant during the meeting. Once they found out what happened they also quit at the end of their shifts. All this went down two weeks after I had already quit myself -- I learned about it from other employees when I ran into them working elsewhere.
Worked in a car dealership as a mechanic several years ago. Was paid below minimum wage as a fully qualified mechanic as was a number of other mechanics. Informed my boss that i read the pay legislation that we were being under paid to which he had the pay bumped to minimum wage and told us we are lucky to have jobs. The place had a massive turn around for salesman and technicians. The owner would line his pockets for himself and his family working there and expected those who worked there to continue work until christmas eve and returned after boxing day. 4 of us quit consecutively in a 2 week period. The dealership was absorbed shortly after by a competitor.
The club I worked at wouldn’t tell us if we were going to be staying open until 5am or not on New Years and over half the girls walked out at our usual closing time (25 out of the 32 working) and they ended “firing” us for a day, and closing at the usual time anyway.
We literally just wanted a yes or no lol
Convenience store I work at got a new assistant manager a couple of months ago. Almost the entire staff has put in their two weeks or transferred since then. Everyone talks shit about her and only her behind her back, and it's absolutely warranted. If she can't find something to criticize you about, she'll invent something. I only know all of this because she tried it with me, and I've seen this song and dance before and had another job lined up, so I pushed back and eventually said "no, I think I see EXACTLY what you're saying. Can I go back to doing my job now?" I then proceeded to prompt more than half the employees including several managers to vent to me about how much they hate her by flat out telling them what she tried to say about me and how much she flailed when I politely suggested it sounded like a load of shit. After that they didn't feel so ashamed of how mean she was to them to tell me all about it.
Next time I go in there as a customer and see the store manager, who likes me, I'm going to pull him aside and ask him for a word. I likely won't have to go back there ever, and even if I do, I feel confident that he won't hold this against me if I spin it right and make it sound like I'm concerned with helping him.
I worked at a nursing home and everyone quit all at once because management was so terrible. Even I quit, haha
A manager told me to choose between my job and a custody hearing for my daughter that the employeer had been repeatedly informed of for over 90 days... almost all of the crew not related to the owner walked out, those related to the owner failed to demand any change and the business went under just a few months later because the food service industry in that town was tightly knit and they couldn't hire a staff with that manager still employed.
I was working at spectrum going door to door in South Central. When Covid hit we were pulled out and right around the time of the BLM riots they sent us back out without PPE (people in SC are usually defensive, now imagine with a pandemic) I was one block away so I was really stressed and with my dad's recent surgery I had to go on stress leave/disability.
They made it harder where if you hadn't sold a single phone service per month you'd get canned, which is also near impossible considering no one in SC has a SSN and good credit, on top of that, they needed to pay the phone in full up front and sign up for a plan they've never heard of and already have our services.
Most people just got up and quit because they started implementing more impossible work quotas and the others that stayed were trying to go on leave left and right and so the company knew something was up. They just ended up firing everyone who didn't show up for a day. We lost about 3/4 of the office and the minute I came off disability I went back to work and ended up quitting the same day.
I can really go into it deeper, but Morale of the story is to never put your work before your well being and the livelihood of your family
This sounds like an obvious replacement plan. The company already planned to outsource your job to India. Since Trump banned visa workers they couldnt outright import cheap labor. So they instead did what was necessary to get you all to quit or fire you. They could not be honest and call it a furlough because then you would all be eligible for Unemployment benefits. Now that you all left the office got outsourced to Bangledash probably. A company I currently work for got rid of me doing something similar. They cut my hours to 0 for a month. They then sneaked in 1 day of work for me without telling me. Since I failed to show up they fired me for job abandonment. I was planning on filing Unemployment benefits but you cant qualify if you got fired....
@@XJ9sodypop I’m pretty sure you can qualify for unemployment if you can show the company was doing unreasonable BS to get you in trouble, and this sounds like a good example.

We were outsourcing graphic design for a company overseas. They announced moving offices like 2 weeks before moving date. We have to do "inventory" for every project done since the company started (company was like 5 years old). Oh, the office we were relocating to was like 2 hrs away from the current office (4hrs away from where I live) and the CEO did not talk to anyone before making the decision. All the employees proposed working remotely but they pretty much ignored everyone. Slowly, everyone quit one by one, including me.
Not exactly "instant", but still. A friend of mine used to work in a corporate office. Mindless office drone work, but her office was one of the most productive in the entire US, within that major corporation. One day new office manager/boss arrives, and decides to mark his arrival by banning people from listening to music while working.
They weren't blaring music or anything, they just had one earbud in one ear, listening to music while they worked, and since they only had one earbud in they could still hear if someone was talking to them. Not a problem in any way, in other words.
But yeah, the new boss banned it and within a few months a third of the office quit and the office had dropped into the bottom 25% nationwide for productivity. They never budged on the music ban though, they'd rather destroy productivity than to back down and "show weakness". Saving face was too important.
For my work (22 people left, I'm about to leave.) New manager who LOVES to target certain people. They also usually don't care if u are being bothered or harassed by coworkers and u get into trouble with the coworker who was bothering you too.
Years ago, my department lead quit. Two of 5 underlings quit at the same time, as did the receptionist. CEO decided to manage what was left himself. Hired 3 new salesmen. All on commission only, then sent them to training for a month, so they had no income. Acted surprised when all 3 quit. Not long after, I quit, tripling my income at another job. I quit, as did two managers, and, a week later, the new receptionist and the CEO's PA. The latter drafted me, before my last day, to help her draft her notice letter. This was, mind, a company with fewer than 25 people at any point.

I was there for half a decade got along well with everyone hell even was asked to accompany my kitchen manager to head office meetings (I was seen as his assistant).

I taught at school district in Arkansas. At the end of the year they passed legislation giving teachers a pay raise ($4000 over the course of 4 years. Not really a whole lot considering). Due to this, administration saw fit to begin cutting down on what they felt were "unnecessary" classes. Several teachers who taught high school were being asked to teach elementary and middle school, and vice versa. One school board meeting saw about 30 teachers resign afterwards.
The school district had the reputation of a revolving door anyway, with the former superintendent having the reputation of "coming into a school district, tearing it down and then moving on" which she did with that one, except she finally retired after she got done

They took away the soda and snack machines!!!!!
Kind of. They announced that we were having budget cuts and were going to have to make some unspecified changes, and for some reason they broke up a 12 person all-day staff into two rotating 6 people morning and afternoon staffs. That became way too much of an inconveniences for allot of people, so like a third of everyone in the system left, and half of those jobs were removed completely instead of finding new people.
This was probably some kind of 4D chess strategy to get the people to leave without directly firing them, but apparently one of those "unspecified budget cuts" was getting rid of the snack and soda machines in the employee lounges, and a while later they cut the cleaning staff's time from being full time to being just morning and afternoon, and again to just morning.

First off at least where I am managment can be a disaster we have a brand new district manager who doesn't know what he's doing who also is on "leave of absence"
The amount of time you've been employed means nothing I have been there for a year making less then a typical McDonald's worker to put an example me and another employee got hired around the same time I was hired 1 week before her I actually have manager experience from my previous job and was told that once I got "used" to the company I could be trained for management
Our store had 3 managers, a general manager, and regular workers like me within 2 months the time came for a "new management position" the other girl got picked before me because one of our managers had a real liking to her they became really good friends/talking on snapchat and that manager influenced our general manager to promote that girl so within no time she jumps 2 positions and is now/has been our manager for a year now
I've applied for being a full time worker or at least a "Lead CSR" and been denied multiple times because "I'm not available to be fully open" mind you I've called off no more then 3-4 times this once was for a scare that my family had covid so we got tested, and the other 2 times I've had a family member attempt suicide so I have to call for help how rough do you think it is to wake up at 5am to see someone attempting to end their life?
Ontop of that since the company wont make me full time I'm unable to receive any benefits medical wise, dental, ect but they'll still do me dirty by giving me 39 hours a week
We get payed weekly every Wednesday which could be a plus if I didn't just make a laughable $200-$220 a week on almost 40 hours a week meanwhile a manager I spoke to who worked that amount of hours with holiday pay can make an easy $800-$900 after taxes it's extremely underwhelming I live paycheck by paycheck with 70%-80% of my check going towards living expenses yet I can't even receive benefits for my disability because I don't qualify because according to the government my $200 a week is enough to live by 🙃 you're probably wondering why I haven't left or gone back to my old job
My old job while yes I was manager for 2 years my boss made me work 17+ hour days for multiple days in a week anywhere from 6am-11pm for 4-5 days straight, 0 breaks, we would also be extremely short staffed so most of my 2nd year I was alone working these shifts that with other bullshit is the reason why I left as far as leaving speedway the pandemic has made it fucking terrible for me to find another place of employment especially for a higher position then just a normal "part time worker" I can't live off these checks and need something more stable but with no benefits, no help for my disability, and companies not hiring or looking for managment positions it's pretty rough out here

Now everyone seems to be fending for themselves because we're so bogged down with work we can't even help each other properly and a simple request of "do you remember how X worked again" becomes an unwelcome nuisance to your own overcrowded schedule and naked nerves.
Drug test at a chemical refinery. Huh, this floor is made of floor.
Yeah, obviously it's a dumb idea to drug test your employees when the work requires them to do crack. Like if you fire them, who will then operate the hydrocrack, fluid catalytic crack, steamcrack ??
Ok I'll see myself out...
Had a work from home IT gig at a terrible low paying never gonna give you a raise type of company. Suddenly the workload massively spiked and they started demanding OT from us. They said it was mandatory but I called their bluff. I knew they wouldn't fire me because that would mean 40 more hours per week they would be in the hole. Told my manager exactly that in front of everybody in an online team meeting and he backed down. But everybody else had been doing the mandatory OT believing they didn't have a choice in the matter. Folks got pretty pissed realizing that they had been duped into working a lot more hours than they wanted to. A couple of them had even been threatened like I was. Several of those people quit during that meeting as folks were exhausted, tired and underpaid. Things just kind of went shitty in that meeting and I ended up quitting too.

Used to work in a call center for a bank, but not a real REAL bank, electronic bank with no real offices. 1 month of training with half salary and 10-11 hr shift only watching a power point on how amazing the bank is. After the month we started taking calls and we had no idea how to use the tools nor how to follow the new procedures bc they changed them a week before we finished training, we got our firsts Q&As reviews and everyone got a letter that basically said "you made a huge mistake here and here and here and if you make one more you are fired and we can take you to court for endanger the safety of the client's information"
46 ppl of 60 quit next day... All new hires.
they just underestimate the amount of workers that want to quit but lack courage,then they just give some encouragement
In my experience the new boss wants to pick their new team . So it’s best to leave quickly
Truth
14:54 Lol, did the people read "our owner" as in "the person who owned us" ?
all this reminds me of marty o’donnell’s infamous saying, don’t kick the goose. who lays the eggs?
The previous sailing season, we went down lake michigan in 111mph wind and 23 foot low end waves. Two days it took, and when we got to Port at the southern end, 98% started packing. Company called after the captains ineptitude, begged us to wait on the dock, a rep showed up within an hour, an amazingly fast time. Gave us all a two month cash out to stay, and removed the cowardly dangerous captain on the spot. We said no, they doubled it, and removed him still.
Next season he was my 3rd mate, denoted 4 spots. Never will he captain again.
And the 4 months wages worked out to about 50k tax free.
In response to that engineering one, the best part is, the people who take their employees for granted the most are also the ones who pay the least. The absolute irony of the fact that they'll sit there and cry victim, and complain that they're being had, when they're getting a good deal and all they have to do is shut up and Let it happen; which is advice I'm sure they've given more than once.
lol the substitute teacher story happened at my highschool, and now we had to go remote because our school didn't have enough teachers to remain open.

Something like that happened at my school with our sections manager (my section was 10 and 11th grade back then, instead of choosing another school or whatever, we organized a protest as we shouted the name of the previous manager...
They had to put him on the phone through to a speaker and then a microphone for the entire school to hear him say he loves us and wishes we would stop just so we could calm down 😂❤️
I loved that teacher, he was such a positive and amazing man.
Had such great marks and with ease when he was around because he created an atmosphere that encouraged me to not only study, but to love studying.
Working as a diesel tech and the the top makes the decision to work on holidays (all of them), our boss told us and everyone including me said we quit, our boss (that does try help) told us to wait and he will see if he can get others on board to change that.
We later learned that it was reverted after every single employee and some bosses across the state and others were going to walk out...
yeah no shit we compromised already with being open 24 hours 7 days, off on holidays, we weren't going to do more than that... what were they thinking...
A few months back I worked for Kohl’s. Everything started out pretty well, the only real problem I had was the low pay. After a month or so of me working there, the whole road that I had worked on had had a brown-out (basically a blackout except not everything was out and the lights were flashing really bad.) Personally I am neurodivergent and the flashing lights almost gave me a panic attack since I’m photosensitive. I remember telling the one manager, her pretty much not giving a rat’s ass and taking me with a grain of salt. Later in the day it stopped, but I was still on edge. I also made the mistake of “going shopping on my 15-min break” and was yelled at and tag teamed by two of the managers, which caused me a panic attack. I was then asked to clock out so I wouldn’t steal anymore time. I was supposed to go in the next day, but I resigned that night.
