Don't treat your employees like garbage. They're the reason the company continues to run. Novel concept, I know, but it works.
It's a simple concept, but people are assholes, especially when they have power where they feel invincible, but to realize that they need those employees, otherwise they'll crumble and fall. Just don't fucking screw with people in general
Except for those ones that were stealing from customers, lol!
Comoletely agree with u 100% there. But like most owners amd stuff. Its a busniss they want money and nothing else. Its y they will see how much they can get away with before people start quitting. Hire new people for less and do the same
agreed k then
Some owners have zero management skills.
They expect the same output as a 15-person team from a 3-person team?
Guys, there's a difference between 15 and 3. That difference is 12
It's just Aholes. Slave driver mentality. Run everyone to a heart attack and pocket the extra profits. I quit almost a year ago because of mismanagement and disorganization overloading us. Zero overtime although we were 2 months behind schedule. Changing us to 5 different jobs each day then complaining that we didn't complete the first one in the 8 hours but ONLY SPENT ONE HOUR ON IT. 1 idiot brown nose who weasled his way into becoming a supervisor and destroyed the place while his workload went to zero.
So just work 12 times as hard :P
I am leaving a job now cause of that very reason. They got me the cleaner, the cook, the cashier, the shopper...etc. I haven't been able to get out of bed, and going straight to bed after work cause so damn exhausted. They put me on both shifts (half on first and half on second) so they don't have to higher any more people and they can just put all the extra work on me. So far I have seen the other employee stand around just talking to manager while I keep being giving extra work. Another employee will come in and be allowed to do one work job the entire time. They are paying me $5 less as well. I am quitting today cause I ain't got time to burn out at 45, I already feel myself burning out.
@@OffGridInvestor I am giving many jobs to do and told do not get a little fustruated or show that I am.
My boss would say you have a bad attitude. No matter what happens you need to have a 'can do' attitude. So I decided on one 'can do' and did it. I quit.
I feel sorry for the one manager who had the the mass exodus because everyone was using a scam followed up by the remaining two getting it in while in the bathroom. It wasn't even like he was being an idiot like the other stories.
Yeah that was really bullshit
Yeah, the one story that isn't about terrible management. Poor guy.
Sorry, but the second he said "they were stealing from the customers and that might be a headache for me if they find out" I lost all sympathy. Besides, when every single employee turns out to be a thief or a jerk-off, guess who the real problem is?
It's possible the manager was awful to work for so they came up with this plot to justify being around that manager instead of easily finding another near minimum wage job with a decent manager. This is pure speculation though
Ya that was sad
Honestly when companies go "we're like a family" they actually mean theyre gonna use you for their own best interest and not give a shit about your health, private time and obligations nor pay.
Ive worked for a company where the boss would always say that.
Also noteworthy, he'd always bitch about his employees.
Worst boss ever. Even wanted me to work when I had an emergency with my right eye that I get to get checked out asap.
So basically Walmart...
I mean the job I work at now has similar ideals but they actually work to achieve it in a way that benefits both customers and the employees. They don't sugarcoat when times are gonna be rough but are also supportive and understanding when issues arise that are not our fault and are affecting output. Guess the best way to put it would be firm pressured yet highly supportive.
Walmart though... their policy is outrageously hypocritical. Though I should have expected that, I used to live in Walmart central (NW Arkansas) and that is really the culture of the area, sweet talk people into doing what you need them to do then drop them the moment you have no use for them.
Oh like most families
I can relate...
Big red flag as soon as they claim that shit.
Definitely a red flag, I called out of work because i was stuck in the bathroom vomiting for hours and my manager got pissed and was like well we really need you to unload the semi truck. Tf like it was so bad I had to go to the er, turns out I had food poisoning and I had to stay for a couple days
I still don't understand... how -stupid- some people are. Your workers aren't replaceable, they are the reason you have a job. Sure, you can fire one trouble employee here and there, but treat your staff like dirt, and they will -all- leave, and you will be fucked. :/ The fact that managers and other higher-ups don't realize this boggles my mind.
It's not capitalism anymore, it's feudalism at its best.
Such is the stupid mentality of many "high-end positions" like managers and supervisors. They have this delusion that the fate of the workers under them is in their hands.
"how stupid some people are" ... like 170k subscribers that can't just read this stuff on their own. But mcjobs are a dime a dozen and most of those kind of companies know that.
Tyler Mcrae happened at my old job they refused to get more employees to an already crowded store and yet they wanted everyone to do double the work when I started there were a lot of people but management fucked a lot of people over and so people started leaving in masses at the beginning and now all that’s left is untrained new workers
Cuz they are given that little amount of power and it gets to their heads
The one that the guy cried when he was normally the one who made everyone laugh made me really mad
The baseball stadium story irrationally pisses me off because that tantrum wasn't over an unswept floor. That manager was probably hoping to pocket the extra money from the event. Parasite.
And blocking the door while screaming. I'm pretty sure that's illegal to physically block an employee from exiting, I would have just gone around her and if she grabbed me I would've contacted the athorities.
Boss gave out christmas money to some employees and not to others, which was kind of the straw really.
How could they even think to give bonuses to some people, but not the rest? It's not like we're not going to see the checks, I mean, were in accounting!
@@potatoes1549 yeah, because some people won't care if it's wrong or illegal, they'll just take it if the boss won't give it!😈
One of mine offered her favorite employees an incentive to stay in an overwhelming work environment (rehab/long term care facility). One of which who has been written and been repeatedly reported for poor performance. A resident had an accident and she refused to help him. She simply told the other caregiver that she is going to go eat a free donut in the breakroom instead. I was so livid when I heard that. I was not going to work under that sort of management or team.
@@potatoes1549 That episode really annoyed me.
This happened where I work as well. The worst part is that I run the payroll... .I noticed a secret payroll had been submitted behind my back. $10,000 bonuses to upper management, and $5,000 to a random employee that is at a lower level than I am. This employee only got the bonus because she is friends with upper management.. I am pissed. No one else in the company got any extra money for Christmas. The worst part is that they submitted the payroll behind my back so I wouldn't see it. I am debating on quitting, but I need the money. Ugh I hate greedy companies. I hate when companies play favorites.
I always find it interesting how companies try to save money by hurting their employees or customers and how it actually either costs the company more money than they "saved" or causes them to go bankrupt or nearly bankrupt (if they are a smaller company).
I worked for an agency that would do soul-destroying things as "morale boosters."
Example: We were all working 50+ hour weeks AND being called in on our days off to fill in for call-offs. They did a survey of ways we'd like to be rewarded for good work and got responses like "Be allowed to have a day off every week," "Be able to buy X (cheap item like a new frying pan) for the group home." "Change policy that we can't let dishes air-dry while we're on an outing and put them away when we get back." Tiny things, almost none of them costing any money.
Instead the agency decided that the best "morale booster" was to have a pot-luck supper for staff. If you were on-duty, you brought the residents and provided your usual care for them at the pot-luck. And you were NOT allowed to schedule an activity the residents preferred that night; they had to go to the morale-booster pot luck even if they would rather have gone bowling. Lucky you if you weren't on-duty because you could come in on your day off if you wanted to. (Which, of course, nobody did.)
Other things they did to "boost morale"
* If staff at one group home were causing a specific problem, they wouldn't be singled out because that might make them feel bad. A new regulation would be created that would make everybody else miserable. Example: Staff at one house got into a pissing contest over the dishes. Evening shift would wash the supper dishes and leave them in the drainboard for overnight staff to put away. Overnight staff was an asshole and not only wouldn't put the dishes away, but would leave the breakfast dishes in the sink. So evening shift would just pile their dishes on top of those dishes. So night shift piled up more dishes. So they all ended up eating off paper plates because nobody was willing to put the goddam dishes away. Solution: No house allowed to ever leave so much as a single cookie sheet in a drainboard. They put in cameras in the kitchens so they could check at meal time and call and chew you out if you left dishes in the drainboard, even if your house never had an issue with dishes. They did this because it would "damage morale" at the house having the pissing contest if they were confronted directly about the problem. Yeah, so make everybody else miserable and guess what? The staff at the pissy house still had dishes in the sink and ate off paper plates.
*Most houses had people who had different wishes about how many hours they worked. Some wanted to work as many hours as possible because they liked all the overtime pay and others wanted more free time, just work their 40 hours (which was usually closer to 45 hours) and then have free time. So to be "fair" EVERYBODY would get the same number of hours (usually around 50+) and staff weren't supposed to negotiate among themselves so that Susan, who wanted the overtime, could work Bob's Friday night shift so he could be off for his kid's football game.
Yeah, can't you just feel the morale boosting?
@@thesisypheanjournal1271 sometimes story like this makes me want to know where does the managers learn all of this BS management knowhow from.
I want to know so that i wouldn't do the same mistake to my team.
@@ABC-qd5oc I swear it felt like the had seen a Forbes magazine in a waiting room, read "Top Ten Things Managers Do that Kill Morale" and took it as a to-do list.
Greed blinds companies very much. They don't realize that a healthy economy requires healthy people. It's a cycle. You screw people over at one point, and you get screwed in return.
@@thesisypheanjournal1271 please tell me this company went under
boss just said: "well if you wanna quit just go"
alot of people bailed...
Boss: *surprised Pikachu*
Ah, the reverse psychology trick....from a boss...
Got rid of our smoke breaks, refused to give us raises, and our employee discount for familly members. So yeah, a lot of people quit.
Where I work did something like that at the beginning of last year.
Cut the hours we work for most people by 1 hour a day (20 hours a month just gone, so over £100 a month gone even for minimum wage). Removed the shift alowance (but still expect you to work the shifts). Reduced over time pay to just basic time from time + a half and stopped doing overtime where they could (but still expect you to come in and leave anywhere up to half an hour around your shifts time). Cut our brakes down to mininal by law. Stopped the christmas bonus and the Christmas dinner was limited to just you and you're paying for your meal. As well as issueing new contracts on a basis of "sign it or go".
We lost 50% of the production teams, several sales people and 25% of the warehouse in one day, even more staff had gone by the end of the year and I am just looking for a job that pays better.
The problem is, this happened because the company I work for decided to come down and meet what other companies were offering, rather then offering better to keep staff. So they are not even punished as new staff just think this is normal wages, as it is just what is offered everywhere else. We even have a few perks left such as free parking and very cheap food from the rejects in manufacturing.
I mean it, my job is skilled (you need a few certificates to have it properly), but locally my job is minimum wage everywhere else, so that is what I became here. Which is a shame as even 2-3 years ago it use to pull in a decent wage, but these days companies just know they need not care.
Oh and they still did the whole "We are a family" thing at the Christmas party too.
Anytime someone tells you to either deal with it or walk out the door, you walk out that door.

@Diesel Techie adult peson knows how to control emotion and where is real blame
@@erikajohanidesova5104 Been a adult doesn't save you from loosing your shit especially when life destroying things like this.
He’s pissed off over losing his job and being lied to about it, and probably isn’t thinking straight.
I used to work for a fast food coffee chain. My final year there was awful. The manager did a lot of shitty things to me but this was the last straw. I had gotten really sick, to the point of developing viral induced asthma and losing my voice completely. I was in and out of the hospital and I was still expected to come into work where food and drinks were handled(what i had was contagious). I shouldn't of been anywhere near the products we sold to customers. I eventually had to get a doctor's note saying I needed at least, 3 days of rest (So my manager couldn't fight it any more) After what felt like a month of being horribly sick, I was finally okay. I started to noticed that even though I worked both longer,earlier and harder than one of my fellow co-workers, she was always being favored over me and sent home earlier despite me doing more work and even my co-worker noticed how unfair it was too me. I think she started feeling a little bit uncomfortable with it.We both talked to our manager about it. Our manager then said "Well maybe if you weren't sick all the time."Tried to laugh it off and then stopped when she noticed neither of us found it very funny. I think she knew she put her foot in her mouth. She apologized saying she "shouldn't of said something like that." It didn't take me long to find a new job that paid better. After I quit, 4 other people also quit and a couple more switched locations. She's been demoted and isn't a manager anymore due to various other BS she pulled on everyone and the quality of service and food/drink products has dropped significantly.
My dad workplace decided to ban meat food for "Climate reasons"
That ban was quickly lifted when workers protested.
Even as a vegan this rule is stupid af and I'm glad they protested
My old workplace had no AC for a year, which was probably great for the environment. They weren't being green, though, just too cheap and lazy to fix it.
I was once a lecturer at a private college. It was struggling with low student recruitment so they ask the academic staff to be involved with the marketing team since our teaching workload was low due to lack of students. I was a bit taken aback but still find their reason to be acceptable because I did have quite a free time at work. The student numbers increases due to our involvment, and hence our teaching hours & workload also increases. So we expect the management to stop asking us to help with the marketing now that student numbers had been restored, BUT guess what, they refused to allow this and insisted the numbers were still not up to their target. Like wtf? That should not even be our problem as a lecturer in a first place, and if anything we already contributed a lot. But I still get on with it. My final straw was when I found out the marketing team get their bonus & salary increment at the end of 1st quarter of the year, while we academic staff didn't receive any benefit from our extra work outside our job scope! So basically we were doing charity for the college. I was burnt out & decided to quit when I received a marketing task after a long day of teaching. A month after, I found out that half of the lecturers have resigned too. It's been 3 years since & the college has closed down and not surprisingly, due to lack of qualified lecturers.
Yeah,turns out a school with no teachers doesn't work so well!
About the first one: big red flag when single people could be described as a whole department and the boss calls himself a "CEO"
To clarify, nothing wrong with a small company with a single finance/he/whatever person, but the boss is not a CEO. Probably not even a C-Corp.
I work in fast food at a decent pay rate. I recently made the decision to transfer to another location after two years of putting up with the worst GM I had ever worked under. I was working as a manager just without the title or pay for two years. Despite this I had to endure watching him move people up or hired on as managers. It was demoralizing to the point I felt like I was bad at my job and didn't deserve moving up. They all quit in less than a few weeks once they came on. Among other issues with him. He didn't realize just how much he depended on me till I transferred out. Several others started to quit or transfer once I left because the work load increased drastically. A friend of mine told me months after that my former GM regrets not moving me up over what he has left with. I now make far more money and will likely move to a higher position this year. I don't regret leaving that store at all.
The one about the rewards card scam was one that I actually had to cover. I won’t disclose the companies name but I had to drive close to 2 hours away to fill in for those shifts. It was a nightmare
Tbh, it was the owners' fault for their nepotism of letting their nephew run their business and how they did not kept tabs at the state of their restaurant after they left
I have little sympathy for them. They shouldn't have given a mere busboy control of everything. They have nobody to blame but him and themselves.
They are like typical parents- idiots with good intentions. Can't really blame them though.
How did this comment appear right as I was scrolling down while listening to this story?
My first thought was "That nephew won't really know what he's doing running that business, even if he had the best of intentions." ...He didn't even have good intentions, turns out!
They should have at least hung around the place for a few months more to see how it was going.
This video has made me feel better about considering a two week notice situation. They fired two people that were at my job for 20 years each and all the work they had to do got put on my plate without extra pay. I’m also having very violent thoughts about my team leader who tried chewing me out yesterday and I do not appreciate the toxicity 12 hours a day for 6 days a week.
Aaron Hartline I had the same thing with my last job. Debated quitting for a couple years but they had every so beaten up and convinced they couldn’t find a better job I was to scared too. Found a new job and the plant supervisor told me I would hate my new job. Currently 6 months into my new job and have gotten 10 dollars more an hr. I wish I would have left quicker instead of working in a toxic environment. Life’s to short to hate your job seems how most of your life is spent there. The plant supervisor called me a month after I quit for help on a project and I basically told him to screw himself. He literally told me he just wanted to give me the “opportunity.”
Just tell them blankly they’re the one who needs to get their shot together if they don’t want to have all you’re work piled back on their ass when you say fuck it
Some Aholes will actually fire you a few hours after you give notice. It REALLY screws them if you just quit on the dpot. But I have seen contracts that say you lose pay if you quit on the spot. I'm pretty sure that that contradicts American laws though.
@@brandonp5527 Sounds like they don't appreciate your effort. Weird how he calls you for help
I wish I only had 12 hours a day for 6 days. My current job makes me for 12-15 hours everyday for 12 day stints. I’m barely functioning

"Didn't take out the tampon before we started"...........what?
Damn disgusting. Didn't want to cop dad to find out what she was fired for. But then probably ring up mom to get her from urgent care and MOMS GONNA ASK QUESTIONS. How much you wanna bet that if it was a smaller place that Dad knows one or several of the urgent care people and word would get back. Patient confidentiality doesn't exist in the emergency services community. I knew a major (uncles friend) and the local cop would tell him about all the freaky callouts and weirdos in great detail.
Not quit but fired
Spirit Halloween boss was secretly stealing charity money and had after hour parties that were confirmed to be drunken orgies. Regional manager came in late one night and learned it all that hard way. Overall 75% of the staff were fired--my friend among the few allowed to stay cuz he was never invited to hang out or really liked by the boss. I was glad I decided against working there that season. Seasonal stores are real shit shows that attract all the wrong people.
Merry Mari In cases like that, I wonder how many party-goers went because they loved to party and didn't care about anything else, and how many party-goers only went because the boss had made some comment like, "If you don't come, it shows you're not a team player!" Sadly that happens more than we might like to think. There have been workers at companies who are told, "Come to the party and have some drinks or you're not a team player!", go to the parties and drink, and then later get told, "We're letting you go because you're not reliable. All you do is drink and party. Why can't you be serious?" In either case, I'm glad you and your friend dodged a bullet!
Kara O'Connor Why the heck would any company, even a greedy short-sighted slave driver, want to do that?
They attract the wrong people because A-A lot of the good people already have jobs, and B-They need workers now that they don't have to worry about in 6 weeks, so they'll take just about anyone
I currently work for my city’s fire department as a firefighter/EMT. My first job out of EMT school was working for a private ambulance company in one of the smaller towns nearby just to get my foot in the door of the EMS world. The ambulance was always staffed with 2 people, 1 paramedic, and one EMT. One morning I get to work and me and my paramedic partner are doing our morning checks of the ambulance we will be using for the day, we found that the ambulance had none of the medications needed to work a cardiac arrest (epinephrine, calcium, etc) we thought “oh no problem we will just let the manager know and he will get us the supplies we need from the meds closet (only managers were allowed in there to prevent theft of the narcotics). We took a full inventory of the ambulance and made a list of the supplies we were missing. We then took that list to the manager who then told us “we don’t have any of those and won’t for a few more days” my partner then asked “so you’re telling me we don’t have the supplies to properly do our job? And if we are put in a situation where we would need those supplies and we didn’t have them we will both lose our medical provider licenses?” To which the manager responded “just put in your reports that you used the stuff you’re missing even if you don’t actually use it” we both quit on the spot. Before leaving we walked back out to the garage area where the other crews were doing their pre shift checks and told them what had happened. 4 out of the 6 of them also quit on the spot. We then called the state health department and reported it. That company is currently under investigation for medical malpractice and is being sued by several people.
I’m 16 and I got hired at a Panera Bread over the summer and there was a new manager that just got there and was fixing everything up in terms of staff and profits and was doing a great job. His first 2 weeks managing this new Panera bread he had to fire the whole production line for Snap Chatting themselves drinking Margaritas and getting drunk on the job.
Wow I have a story. So this restaurant I used to work at had one chef get in a fight with a bartender. They had a lot of problems with this guy, so they pretty much had to fire him. Trouble is, this chef was pretty much running the kitchen in tandem with this other chef, so when he hears that hes been fired, he marches up to the office and quits. Next another chef had someone die in his home country, so he hops on a plane that night, a couple days later another chef gets into a bad traffic accident and can't work, then there is trouble with another chef's work visa so within the span of about a week we're suddenly at half staff for back of the house ( a couple pot washers quit/ got fired within about a month of this stuff happening too) for two restaurants. This happened right before the tourist season started too I think in May. So the guys that are left are working literally 15 hours a day, 7 days a week just to keep the place running. They didn't end up hiring any new staff until like the middle of july. I found another job about a month later, told them I wouldn't be able to work weekends anymore, and what did they do to thank me for 3 years of faithful service? They fired my ass.
Everything worked out though, my new "part time" job had an option for additional hours up to a full work week, which I was able to take advantage of. Now I'm basically getting paid double what I was making at my previous job for half as many work hours.
That just sounds like a 24 karat run of bad luck
I mean I kinda feel bad for the old couple at 12:20 but they really brought it on themselves, they gave the business to their nephew despite the fact that he apparently had Zero experience in management or running the restaurant in any way having been a busboy/waiter.
They let their family relationship to him override the fact that he was totally unqualified for it, and he repaid them by running the place into the ground in what sounds like less than six months. This is why you must always be extremely careful when passing on the family business.
My manager hires a lot of people who are closely tied with each other. For example, mother and son, couples, and siblings. Then when he screws one over they all leave
It's actually pretty daft to hire people with family connections because they often cover for each other then drive out non family by setting them up to fail or blaming them for stuff. And then wake up to see it's like a union going on strike when you touch one. Because half of the place walks out. I was at a place with 8 people out of about 60 or 70 thst were sll one family. One was a supervisor and was lining up PERMANENT jobs for family who had never even been to the place over casuals like me who had already been in 3 departments over the last year. Eventually I got permanent but all bets were off if these idiots had a family member who needed a job. Even made a flier thst was getting around renaming the place after themselves. I would have fired them all.
my boss ran a great group of guys and gals for years. then suddenly hired one illegal Mexican for 8/hr while we all.made 12-16. next thing you know he is hiring ALL his family members and firing his old loyal employees one by one for dumbass reasons. I get fired, two weeks later my fiance get a fired. next week one of my good friends gets fired and pissed off calls ICE. suddenly the company went from 25 employees to 3 managers and no one else.. boss immediately sells business, my buddy buys it and hires us all back on. We win. Fuck you Sherm.

In regards to the baseball concessions job story.... Is it legal for someone to just change the amount of money your getting for hours youve already worked? Like every one had already been at work for hours according to OP, so the manager was basically saying she was not going to pay them the amount they thought they were getting paid for the hours they already worked, and I dont think thats legal
No, in most countries thats illegal, that's retroactively changing your contact in your own perjudice.
It's also illegal to block them from leaving, legally she was taking them hostage

10:11 I work in video games in a not so big town. There 3 "big" studios and 2 "medium" studios and a bunch of smalls. One of the 2 medium studio CEO uses to go pull tantrums at local news when one of the bigger studios would hire people from their studio. Yet that studio was a specialist at falsely pitching projects at video game funds to get the money to put on their other projects and put way less people on the project they pitched for. So they get the money and they don't care if the project works or not, making it a really depressing place to work.
After a couple of scams they tried to hop in the VR bandwagon and failed miserably. They were a 180 people studio, they fired 100 people, "keeping the good ones", but what do you think happen in the head of the good ones: "this ship is sinking, f that" so they lost about 30-40 people after that that quit and could find a job at one of the big studios. Few months after firing 100 people, they were posting jobs and going for another tantrum on the local news, saying the big studios are using "predatory hiring tactics" instead of wondering how they screwed up.

Nobody quit at the same time but there was a steady stream of people quitting because the manager played headgames with people and had somehow convinced *every* non-manager employee that they were the single weak link, holding everyone else back, and would need to work a lot harder if they didn't want to get fired. Also would never update the rota and sometimes you'd have to call in Saturday asking if you were working the next day. The final straw for me was after one of these Saturday night calls, getting called in the next day at 6am. I told the manager I didn't have a car and got told that was my problem. So after showing up at 10am I get yelled at. I handded in my notice shortly after.
To be fair, you were 16 hours late. Even on short notice that probably calls for a little chewing out.

0:53 Similar thing happened at the electrical company my dad worked at
Same. My mom's employer is super cheap to his employees. One of the best field electricians left last year when he was told "you're not worth that to me" when he asked for a raise equivalent to what another job was offering if he joined them. That employee had been there 20 years through thick and thin to be told that. :(
Overworking their employees, is quite a common occurrence, usually comes with mass layoffs as well.
Biggest one I saw, was a company that shrunk from 15k employees, to about 5k.
I can't imagine management was very popular.
I worked at mc donalds, a mom brang her 2 sick kids and they bothe vomited in a slide of the park(2 out of the 3) i was the one doing a lobby shift so i quit and the one who was suppose to take my place quitted and it went like this for about 5-6 people before the manager did it
New manager was obviously an acquisition agent. Started gaslighting the shit out of all the smart people and was very obviously not acting in the company's best interest.
ABANDON SHIP!!
Back to freelancing and much happier.
I worked for a hospital in a college town. College friends and I worked the same ward. We started off in the summer, so we could all work full-time with no issues. All goes fine and dandy until our scheduler stops giving a shit about when we had college classes (they all happened at the same time due to all of us taking the same program at the same college). We'd take weekend shifts, and she'd force us in. Gradually, we started falling behind in our schoolwork and quit.
It also didn't help that some of our coworkers who weren't students and just had this be their career were harassing us and making us feel like shit/hating ourselves for having to quit.
This caused a bottleneck to where the higher ups had to take on our duties, got overwhelmed, and just had to quit.
Now there's a strike after this essentially caused a colony collapse across the different wards as the overwhelm and quitting got progressively worse.
Luckily, I work for a small, regional hospital. I now have to drive 15 minutes from the college town, but people are so much more understanding there and it is so much better overall at treating college students right.
As for the larger hospital, I believe they compensated by hiring college students like crazy. The only problem was they did so over Christmas break.
Which means that the same shit is going to happen again, only worse because not only is Christmas break not as long as summer, but when students go back to school, the increased amount of students means the labor disparity is only going to get worse when this shit happens again.
There was a Homegoods warehouse where I used to work at.
One day all employees were called to the front of the building so they could announce some new pay raises and policy that would "benefit" everyone.
They came up with this new family plan type deal that gave extended paid vacations to people who were adopting or having a baby.
(Or those who had already done so withing the past 5 months of that deal.)
Basically, anyone who was adopting or having children would get a small spike in pay rise for a few weeks as well as paid vacation for the week prior to the birth or adoption and another 2 weeks to spend time with the family after the baby or child had come into the family.
The thing is, they added hours and cut salaries for everyone else in order to pay for those benefits.
Over the following week, the warehouse started to empty because no one wanted to work 2x as hard for half the pay.
In some cases even harder, I myself worked in the loading bay, so as people started to leave I had to carry their load.
By the end of the week I was working a 5 man job loading 10 different rigs.
It didn't help that people were quitting 3rd shift as well and half-assing their job so I could do it for them when I came in.
About 12 people in the lane I was stationed at had left by the 2nd day.
In the other 2 lanes about 20 had gone.
The rest of the facility was pretty much a ghost town.
Before the new policy came in, it was hard to even walk into the building without an entire crowd being stopped every two seconds for check in.
After that you'd only see about 2 or 3 people walking the halls each day, at the most 10.
The company had good benefits and pay before that.
They shouldn't have cut for a workplace that was already understaffed.
Last I heard they were just hiring people left and right to cover their losses.
This was just last year as well so I have no idea how well they recovered or if they managed to get the workforce to return.
Whoever makes these thumbnails should quit at once.
Are you saying that thumbs should not have nails? Is it any wonder your co-workers quit in droves?
What are droves? They are groups of vehicles

Thank you now I know what to look for when starting at a new place
I worked at an EVS (basically a janitor job) at a hospital and before we had like 20+ cleaners until Crothell came in and everything went from good to a shithole. We have three people quitting once a month on 1:30 team which led us only having about 10 people working. Fortunately we had three new employees but guess what? They sent them over to first shift who has MORE than enough (about 30+ people). I was so pissed when I first heard it because everyone ALMOST ALL OF THEM knew we’re short.
This was a state funded daycare I worked at. There was a high turnover rate and they barely kept enough teachers to stay within legal amount per adult. They paid shit when you first started (like maybe $8 an hour) and would put you alone in a room with no training or help with the kids. People would quit in waves. Every time a bunch of people quit they would give a raise to the other teachers and let them work overtime to fix the system. I worked there for 8 months and went from $8 to $17 an hour pulling at least 5-8 hours of overtime a week. They ended up wanting to fire me because I was too expensive to keep on

Man, why did he flip you off? You had nothing to do with this.
Because he was technically taking his job, he probably asume he was back stabbing him. When you're angry you don't think straight.
He was angry about losing his job and being lied to about it, and wasn’t thinking straight; he probably saw OP as taking his job, even though he didn’t know what was going on either.
I really wish everyone put the names of the companies they worked at here...
Probably not a good idea, for legal reasons.
it's amazing how many jobs seemingly take programming work for granted because they aren't salesmen. If you run a furniture store, you don't just forget the carpenters, upholsterers, potters, masons, and so forth. So why would you forget the programmers? They are making the product you are selling. You are literally nothing without them.
12:17 I'm speechless.
Yeah... like, holy crap. How on earth do you manage to have an entire store of people who are perfectly fine with stealing from the store? I legitimately feel bad for the OP there... Like, even if you literally hired people at random, with absolutely no screening, character judgement, or anything, chances are you would wind up with a better group of people then that poor guy.
Talk about a clusterfuck
@WebBowser Reminds me of a mass firing story: cashiers in a store were incentivized for signing up people for magazines, one found out they could do it without people's consent, word got around, all the cashiers were doing it by the time they noticed people complaining about subscriptions they hadn't bought, corporate said to fire all the cashiers. A week before Black Friday. Basically all the managers and whatever cashiers they managed to scrape together worked near 24 hours straight on Black Friday to try and keep the store running after that.
@@KnakuanaRka That's just a bad situation all around. I don't even know what would be the correct/prudent way to handle that situation.
Left my job at McDonald's after my manager cut my hours down to one day a week a second time, due to me "not caring enough about my job". Got a flat tire in between towns (this was around new year's so I was out of town and got the hours of my shift mixed up). This happened once before for the same reason after I requested some time off for an event in Sacramento. Could've handled it a bit better by actually going in and doing the proper procedure to quit, etc., but I was so tired of that place. I was suffering mentally to where I wasn't sleeping at all, and they were making me close, the entire store was so unorganized, everything was everywhere, and my GM did nothing to try and help. She'd send cooks home before rushes and whatnot, leaving one person on grill, things of that nature. Fucking nightmare, I'm never going back there unless I need to.
At the fast food place I worked at, the night shift is notoriously ass, even for fast food. The main cause being a handful of people.
One of the really bad habits the night shift had was to just... Walk away. Like for 20+ minutes at a time. Their breaks are supposed to be 30 minutes, and you clock out for it, but they'd leave themselves clocked in while they went on break for an hour or more. And this night shift was constantly short handed as a result of new employees refusing to tolerate said bullshit.
So what happened these guys all quit? A manager clocked one guy out when he left for his HOUR AND A HALF long break. Guy comes back, immediately begins arguing with manager to undo it so he'd get paid for the hour and a half. Manager tells him no, guy walks out. The night shift, now mostly just his buddies, all tell the manager to fuck off and walk out.
While I definitely agree that the employees we lost were bullshit, their decision to suddenly enforce policy after 2+ years of tolerating this shenanigans with no real response trained these people to think that it's ok to do this shit. They went from like 7 closers to one.
TLDR- The night shift had a mass Exodus because the manager suddenly decided to have reasonable standards.
I guess better late than never doesn't always help lol. Terrible employees and a manager who didn't care or was just not doing her job until it was too late
@@jjgarcia156 I left that place not long after.
They tried to crackdown on dayshift because apparently we didn't leave the kitchen properly stocked, or cleaned, or something.
I basically just made sure everything was done 10 minutes before the shift ended, and then just let it ride until they showed up, usually 20-30 minutes later (so 10-20 minutes late.) And of course they'd complain but I'd just say "hey, it was clean at 4" and they couldn't really complain anymore.
My best friend was the night manager in Taco Bell. We closed 5 min before the night before bc we didn’t have any orders for more than an hr and a half. The regional manager, for some reason was on cams at 3am in the morning when she has a whole family. Wrote us all up. The day of, she messaged him to tell him she’s sending him to another store and that me and 2 coworkers were enough to handle the massive orders all the way to closing. He quit because she was very envious and petty. I quit as well because I’m not allowing her to put so much pressure on me and 2 other people to get 30 item orders out in less than 3 min, especially considering breaks and lunches. It was my last day anyways, so I had nothing to lose. I’m proud of him. It was many other things that led up to him quitting, but this was the final straw.
I was head of takeout department during Covid. We were the only thing keeping this restaurant open. They berated us for all the incorrect orders that happened (we got an immeasurable amount of calls at the time) and once we got inside seating again our manager changed the tipout for the departments and they tried taking 50% of takeouts tips for in-house. I quit that day and so did my other takeout coworkers
My first job was at Dunkin, a week after I walked in, my manager told the crew no 15 minute breaks until drivethru times were up. Over half the staff quit. I stayed because I didn’t know any better for a year and a half, we didn’t get 15’s until a year after I was working there.

When we merged with a national company, inspectors were tasked with making sure their reports were uploaded remotely into the system, as opposed to just emailing them in, and admin doing all the heavy technical work, proofreading, and final distribution to clients. It really lifted a lot of the workload off my plate, allowed for increased number of inspectors, however most of our inspectors were no where near technically savvy. Most were in their 50-60's bordering on retirement. So when we implemented the new system, we lost four inspectors in one week because they refused to do "admin work that wasn't part of their job description".
I was working at a construction company with two friends of mine. My friend had only been working for a month before he was fired in the middle of his shift on a Tuesday, and was told to take himself home when they knew he relied on my other friend to get to and from work.
What was even worse was that they fired him for no reason 2 weeks after getting a stellar work performance review. Just happened right out of nowhere for no reason.
This is the same management that let their foreign employees take half-hour breaks in front of the foreman's and management's office every single 2 hour period while work is going on, and frequently let employees regularly come in drunk and high and not even get written up.
And then they fire my best friend for no reason.
I had enough of their unfair treatment and left with my best friend, and haven't looked back.
Last I heard they haven't hired anyone to replace us, so there's only 5 people in the place that need to do the work of 10.
A lot of people quit their jobs at the VA because they don't like how the patients are treated, but if they spent more time there, they could advance in their job & run things their own way.
I once worked at a bar that was opening up in a highly affluent area in Sydney, AUS. All the staff were told by the owners that it would be a high-class cocktail bar with primo bottle-service etc. As opening day approached, it became painfully obvious to all the bar staff (many of whom were top-tier bartenders) that this would be another wanky nightclub for rich kids. However, everyone powered through the unbearable service because the tips were looking great and there were a lot of hot girls that went there. They were pooling tips to be split up at the end of the night, and nearly everyone that worked there had reported getting 150-300 dollars each every night. Then...when the end of the first week rolled around, everyone received about $15 in tips each. For an entire week of work...$15 each in tips.
Everyone put the pieces together when we realised that at the end of each night, the managers would all hide in the office together whilst we cleaned, and would get angry whenever we knocked on the door. They were clearly taking our tip money to buy coke and having little parties in the office. They wouldn't even come and have beers with us when we all sat down for staffies. After 3 weeks of this, all the staff agreed that Saturday night that week, no one would show up. Saturday night...line out the door...400 person capacity club...no bar staff showed up. MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't steal tips, folks.
TL;DR. Managers at a club were stealing tips, so everyone quit at the same time before service on a Saturday.
I feel bad for that couple that built their business for 30 years got ran into the ground because their nephew.
It was their own fault. They shoukd have at least checked everything was okay for the first few months, instead of just leaving it.
I had a coworker who did the rewards card scam. Except he used his parents number and only when a customer did not have a rewards card. He wound up getting caught when he came into their store with the coupons to purchase a chair.
Im so sorry for the elderly couple for their 30 years old restaurant, yet again you dont give your restaurant to family just because they are your family.
Worked for a communications company in the midwest. It started with a series of budget cutbacks - ending the free coffee for the night shift was the cruelest one. The company started offering more and more services with no corresponding increase in either staff or training the existing staff on the new product lines and services. At the same time, it kept adding senior staff (with big salaries). Eventually, they hired on two more high-level executives from ATT (they had almost 200 VPs of the various divisions!) while trying to deal with being over 60 million in the red. Finally corporate offered an early retirement/separation program to reduce headcount (see above why that was a fucked idea). Over one-third of the company went for it. Last I heard the CEO has just "retired" and the offices in the campus here in KS have been moved to their home state. Now that's a big hearty "screw you" to corporate.
I almost quit my job at the movie theater. When the coronavirus first hit, we were told that we had to sanitize every inch of the theater within an hour on top of our regular duties. Most of the employees complained about the idea, but on the second day of this policy I was one of the two people (yes they only assigned two ppl a shift to do this) to do it. Obviously it was completely unreasonable, and eventually just stopped altogether towards the end of my shift because it was overwhelming. My manager yelled at me for not doing my job, and she could visibly tell i was not in a good mood so she left me alone as I was about to leave anyways. I wanted to quit on the spot, but went home to think about it before I did. I later found out that management realized that it was unreasonable, and the my manager was jokingly yelling at me. Which honestly is something I should've picked up because we did that all the time

Back in high school I worked for a pizza chain. It was my first job. One of the delivery drivers was promoted to being the store's GM. She was super nice and easy to get along with, that is until the promotion. After that, she was a real PITA and let the power go to her head. Kind of like at 1:39, I had an event I organized for one of my classes (it was a pass/fail project in my senior year) and I scheduled that day off weeks in advance. Up until around that time, we wrote all time-off requests on a piece of paper and laid it on the manager's desk, or put it on the cork board. However, they installed a new POS/computer system that would allow us to schedule time-off right in the system.
The schedule for that week was released. And sure enough, I was scheduled to work on that day - during the time of the event. I was livid. At this point, I already about had enough of that job. I drove to the store and politely told her it wasn't going to work - I had a mandatory event that I organized that I had to tend to, and that the request had been there for weeks. She wasn't going to budge, and then told me that if I didn't show up for that shift I'd be automatically fired. Things got heated. Eventually, I followed her outside (where she took her smoke break) and argued some more, and basically said "Fuck you and fuck this place" before I peeled out of the parking lot. Obviously I was fired, but I told her I quit anyways while still in the store.
My dad had heard of what happened, and he was right behind me. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, he was pulling in. He was just as angry, and chewed her ass out. I was banned from that place.
A couple hours later the district manager (who I actually worked better with - she was super friendly and a much better manager) called me and said that I could continue at that job as long as I apologized. I said no thanks and hung up.
Ever since, I've boycotted that chain - I haven't ate one of their pizzas since that incident.
Their pizza tastes horrible, anyways.
A couple days later, one of my good friends that also worked there informed me that like two or three other people quit around that same time. They also quit.
Wait, they wanted YOU to apologize? HA, HA, HAHAHAHA. She should have apologized to you for being such a POS. you were right to quit
I worked for a company that would take the sales team to places like Cabo, then for the other departments, it was the Employee of the year kind of thing. You had to be nominated. And this was the compromise to the same "why can't anyone else go?" In our company, sales didn't retain customers. It was tech support that did. Once sales made a sale, they were done with that customer, and it would come to us. We had so many issues with sales promising services we were physically unable to provide or set ups that were not the best option for their network that we would have to regularly go back through and work with the customer to redo everything. It got pretty bad. I felt bad for our install coordinators, because it was them that regularly had to clean up the mess.
Why on earth did the manager block the exit? Did she think she could force the employees to keep working by not allowing them to leave, rather than getting slapped with an unlawful imprisonment lawsuit?
All prime examples of people quitting MANAGEMENT and not necessarily the job. Shitty bosses create shitty work environments, and the only thing that'll fix a shitty work environment is a good boss.

I work at a large Facebook project.
There was $10/hr on top of our normal base pay, incentive.
Well, the project got all caught up and then the incentive went away. Working 10 hours a day for 6 days in a week was a bit rough, especially when other trades on the site still had the incentive!!!
Needless to say, about 100 employees left in the following month.
Happened at my work a week ago, smaller store with about five usual closers (including me), one was on vacation for the month so it was down to four (not a big deal) one guy put in his two weeks and was moving on to a different job (also not a big deal), the problem is he completely stopped caring and things weren't getting done, so he was let go, then the same day two others quit. Plus side they all where known for sitting on their phones and not getting stuff done, and I'm getting a lot of overtime.
Also my manager was awesome about the schedule, he has work 14hr shifts to give people the days off they ask for.
This is basically why one should join unions.
It is surprisingly effective when the bosses realize they can't do squat if the workers quit.
POINTLESS. The company I was just fired from last week HAD A UNION but guys who had been permanent for 10 YEARS were getting fired AT RANDOM and there was a constant fear of "who's next" running thru the place. And the union poster in the lunchroom? "Safe, secure jobs" HAHAHA.....
@@OffGridInvestor A company union that doesn't care about workers doesn't count.
Real unions would sabotage offices and cause mayhem if anyone would be fired unjustly.

I worked at a Taco Bell for years. I was a part time Shift Leader so most days I was scheduled to be in charge and then I had 1 day I was scheduled to just be a regular team leader.
Corporate took the GM we knew for years away from us and replaced her with like 4 shift leaders they hired off the streets.
Rudest people I ever fucking met. I would work a mid shift, so Id be out at like 7 or 8pm. Theses shift leaders would send me texts at like 3am about what Im supposed to do. They had absolutely no idea how to do anything and insult everyone in the store.
Anyway about 1 week in 2 managers quit, the entire night staff quit, I was the first of the mid shift to quit and I was rather well liked so after I left the entire mid shift quit. So there was only about 3 employees left yet a week ago we had a roster of about 20 employees.
Dunn o exactly what the company did but they called in people from other stores and all of the shift leaders were fired. I only ever saw one of them again and she was folding towels at a hotel giving me the stink eye towel
worked at dunkin, the manager would always act like everything was fine and when you asked her what you could improve on she just said it was all good. but then later in the work group chat she would call people out and go off about stupid shit. she found the sugar scoop in the wrong place, she found the milk machine at 75% in the morning rather than 100%, etc, calling people out by name to embarrass them. when a coworker of ours killed himself, some people asked to have the next day off to mourn because they were close with him. but she denied it and said they'd be fired if they didn't come in. so they quit, then it started a mass exodus and everyone started quitting. glad i left that environment because now i get paid nearly twice as much to sit in a quiet environment at a desk with no crazy rushes or managers and i love every second of it.
When Obamacare got passed my old job (a grocery store) changed the requirements to get medical benefits from 20 hours a week to 30 hours a week. Current employees were able to have their medical benefits until the end of the next year. Once that time finally came most of the veteran employees quit.
A company I worked for provided Executive Protection for A List celebrities and foreign royal families.
a crew of 15 off duty and retired law enforcement officers were brought in to work a six week assignment.
When we arrived at the protective site, ready to work, the company owner announced that we would be
taking a $15 an hour pay cut. He assumed that because we were already at the location, we would go for it.
All but the company VP and supervisor quit on the spot. The company lost that account and several others,
resulting in the company closing.
My manager at my old job was great. Could be strict, and didn't hold back when you fucked up, but was always fair and understanding, and made sure shit got done. Everyone liked and respected him. He was also basically the guy who ran the entire business, and was the reason it was so successful, because the owner was an narcissistic prick who had no idea what he was doing, and refused to learn because that would mean admitting he was wrong.
Well, one day he calls a meeting in his office and out of no where tells us he'd fired the manager. No build up, no warning, no reason given. And we all knew he hadn't quit willingly, because for as much shit as he had to deal with from the owner, he really loved the job, and was always looking for ways to improve. So now moral plummets, half are team are new hires still in training (including both the new manager and the assistant manager), and the summer rush is right around the corner.
But wait, it gets worse. Because the manager's girlfriend quits right after (obviously), and she was the one who'd been working there the longest and knew the place inside and out, and without the manager there was no one who could really replace her. And then it gets worse, because she also happened to be six months pregnant. And then it gets even worse, because she and her boyfriend had just closed on a house literally that week, so now they were both broke, unemployed, and had a kid coming right around the corner. Keep in mind that they had both been working there for years, that they were on a first name basis with the owner and his family, and that they were the ones who had basically built the business for him.
So yeah. I walked out not long after, and from the way people were talking, the others weren't to far behind me.
I watched this video during my daily comute form work today. I don't have any crazy story to share

Sorry for my english. I just wanted to give you something to think about.
I was the head in training and team leader for the busiest shift at our restaraunt. Store manager treats everyone like turd and even assaulted me. I reported him to his superiors in the corporate chain, left for a better job, and he a month later was told to go on a permanent vacation after 5 other employees from my shift quit after me. Serves him right, but is sad it took us to be pushed to our limits for them to take action.
I needed one class to be able to transfer to a 4 year college. It was only offered in the fall and Fridays 8 to 4 all day. I asked my boss if I could be off Friday and work a weekend day. My job could be done on the weekend and he said no. I had to change my major and take 3 different online classes to be able to transfer. He decided to take a class for fun in the spring and was off 3 days a week and worked weekends which impacted how much more of his work I was doing. I left after that and got a much better job getting paid $8 dollars more an hour. I just got accepted to the 4 year and my current job is VERY flexible so my schedule won't matter. I will be able to work and go to school! I'm excited!
Experienced employees can usually tell you horror stories similar to the job situations in this video. Many managers never learn even after the fact when they botched up big time.
I worked as a technician for a great company. We got quarterly bonuses and raises most years. The management was cool and gave us a lot of freedom to make decisions on our own to keep the customers happy. We were all happy and worked well together.
A big corporation purchased the company. Within 2 months the new management changed everything. Everything was all about the metrics. The bonuses were cut. We were constantly micromanaged and talked to when we didn't meet the numbers.
Everyone became stressed out. Suddenly we no longer focused on keeping the customer happy. We spent more time and effort on playing the numbers game with metrics. Customers complained and were very unhappy. I got to where I didn't give a shit anymore.
My customers would ask what is going on. I would tell them about how we were taken over... Within a year we lost our best management and technicians. We started losing customers left and right.
I quit after management demanded I sign a non-compete contract. I found another job with a competitor two days after I quit. A former manager of mine found out I was in the market. He called me and offered more pay and I could start the next morning. He was actually trying to find and hire all of us that worked with him.
The new company I work for is mostly like the old company. We only get one bonus a year, but I can live with that.... We have taken so many accounts from the previous account 😂. They don't understand why customers are leaving. They had to lay off many. We make it a point to try and hire anyone from our old team.
The owner of the company I work for loves all the business we bring in and pretty much let's us run the show... Phuck working for big corporations. They can shove their metrics where the sun don't shine.

I have a great job now, but man...this stuff all pretty much sums up the first 4 or 5 years of my time in the work force
Nepotisim is the worst thing in a restaurant, dealt with that as an apprentice, husband/wife/nieces sort, the wife was abusive and constantly reported for rudeness, but you can't fire her or the whole staff leaves, poor guy had a knife at his back, and I rather liked the owner, one of those people that actively makes the workplace more lively and fun.
the 30 year restaurant story literally happened to my family, so my grandpa started a company in like the late 60’s but officially got it going in like 71 or 73, he put his heart and soul into that company, so much to were he neglected his duties as a husband but anyways he loved the bike and key shop, it was his pride and joy and he always bragged about it, for 55 years his business stayed super strong, then he passed away and my mom wanted to sell it off(understandable considering she was tired of the place and worked there for 30+ years) but she still goes to work almost every day, mainly running the bike side so after our last good locksmith quit, this dude who is a complete loser comes in and boasts about how much money he’s making and persuaded my mom into renting part of the building to him so he can run the lock side. This fucker trashes my grandpas business, insults his name, and destroys the reputation of that store in a matter of 6 months, the only reason he’s still there is because he’s selling coke but claims he’s doing so well all while calling his aunt and begging for money to advertise, buy product and to pay his phone bill and any car repairs he needs because he treats his stuff like shit because he’s never earned a thing, my mom doesn’t care what he does as long as he pays rent
i was working about 3 years for a medical supply company that was spread out over the US and based in Colorado. the first year the company was ding great, managers were leaders rather than glorified nitpickers and employees genuinely liked working there. the start of the second year we were bought by another company that was going bankrupt. the new owners took away everything good from us, service areas and service types, laid off workers for said areas and made us use a system that was absolute shit and way outdated. just the system changes alone got 80% of the entire building to quit, then started hiring people with the shittiest work ethic I've ever had the displeasure of working with. i swear the new people barely showed up for work and half of them came in drunk or stoned and not even trying to hide it. worst of all everyone who didn't initially abandon ship after the system change were treated horribly. i quit 7 or 8 months ago. i connected with a friend who worked there with me, turns out shes still there. i asked her how things are there and she said they lost the building and they all work from home now, and even shes not sure what kind of thing they're doing now
not exactly a mass quitting story, but a story nonetheless.
my dad worked in McDonald's for most of his high school and was experienced to the point that he didn't need to check what the codes for the drive-through were, just had to put them in, easy as that. well, it was eventually discovered that one of his co-workers was stealing like a dollar of every order the customer paid. he would have found this out by looking at the screen thingy to check the codes, but because he had all of them memorized, he didn't have to. well, this girl gets fired, and he should have too, for not turning her in. luckily, the managers and stiff knew he was trustworthy, and got to keep the job. my dad was really lucky that day
“I quit on the spot, and everyone in the lobby had gave me a standing ovation, and every member of staff walked out with me and the restaurant caught on fire.”
I find it funny that higher ups in companies never learn that you never fuck with your experienced staff
I joined a company, and in about 3-4 months left. I told other employees they are being worked like shit (too much workload, too much unpaid overtime, overtime is common in the industry, unpaid is another though. The company was small so its kinda understandable for them.) Few months/weeks after I left, all the people I know working there was gone. LOL.
IDK what happened, but 2 weeks after I left my job for little reason, about 7 other of the 30 people that worked there dipped as well.
