I had a panic attack at work and a coworker heard me cursing through tears.

In fairness, I’m sure hearing variations on “fuck damn ass piss shit fuck fuck” over and over was annoying.

🥰 I got a better paying job after that - only downside is the commute.

How trash of a person must you be to

  1. see someone at work having an obvious panic attack and instead of helping, “giving them out” (if it can even be called that in this case) to your boss

  2. fire someone after the previous cunt told you about a coworkers panic attack

I hope both of them learn what it feels like to be human someday and they won’t be able to sleep for it

I shit all over the manager (figuratively) in front of everybody after one of their outbursts.

Full disclosure: This was at a fast food restaurant I applied for a job at with the intent of fucking with 2 of the shittiest managers I’ve ever witnessed after stopping for a burger one time. Did it on a whim and it was quite a bit of fun. 10/10, would recommend. Plus, I got paid to do it.

It was a her and I’m not into pooping on people. Still, I understand your disappointment, she was an asshole.

What does this mean, to figuratively shit all over someone? Like jumping on the counter and acting it out?

If you’re seriously asking, it means to show superiority.

I was serious, I’ve never heard it used in…that way is all.

So they said they are the better boss?

I believe this should qualify as community service.

First job I wasn’t experienced enough (kitchen porter at a busy restaurant).

Next and last one my coworker was going to sue the boss for sexual assault and part of the crew including her were planning on suing for laboral exploitation (false contracts, unpaid hours, etc). The boss heard about it and fired us and threatened to sue us for bullshit (for staying after closing drinking, it was a pub so is something normal and some coworkers that were there but didn’t want to sue didn’t have any problem).

I finally made a vague comment pushing back against my boss’s fucking unhinged conspiracy theories and shitty beliefs after being forced to hear him spout it for nearly a year.

“Wow, Wayne. I thought you were against the government regulating what people should do with their bodies. Huh… but okay.”

He turned purple, didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day, and never put me on the schedule after that.

Their entire business closed down a few months ago. I feel bad for were the ladies working there & my one co-worker. They were all part of the same church/religion, and they all basically cowered before Wayne. Wayne was an asshole who treated them all terribly. He was just mad that I didn’t let him treat me the same way.

They also didn’t want to give me more than 18 hours per week or raise my pay up from 12$ an hour for the highly specialized job I was doing.

Good riddance, Wayne.

I told my boss that I was going to have to reduce my hours back to weekends only because college was starting back up again which meant I couldn’t do week day shifts, so they put me down for two mid week shifts and didn’t tell me about them, then they used that as an excuse to fire me.

I’m not a lawyer, but that sounds like classic “constructive dismissal”, which qualifies for unemployment in most states. Of course, you’d have to fight for it, which as a college student, would’ve probably been too expensive and time-consuming. Sorry about the shit boss.

(Replying from alt instance cause main one is down)

I’m in the UK and it was a dodgy cash in hand job at a chippy with no actual contract, so I didn’t really have any way to fight against it if I had wanted to keep the job anyway.

Even if I had a way to fight against it I was technically too young for the job and my car didn’t have the right insurance to do it because of that so I didn’t want any extra attention. I got through the college year and got decent grades though so it all worked out alright in the end.

Pretty sure they’d get rejected for unemployment (at least in my state) as you’re required to have open availability in order to get it.

I had several bosses like that until my favorite boss of all time. We worked retail in a college town and so she expected this. Every semester she would sit us down and have us write out our availability for the new semester, and then she would give us all set schedules. It made everyone’s lives so easy.

Managers like yours are just lazy and can’t plan ahead, it’s such an avoidable problem if you plan just the tiniest bit
