"The ink wasn't even the same color as the rest of the schedule."

"So when I showed up for work the next day they told me I was fired for no call no show, but I had to stay and work."

"I said f*ck that, and walked two doors over to the Chinese place and asked if they needed a delivery guy."

Unsafe Work Environment

"I had the owner of a restaurant I was managing spill literally boiling fresh made chicken noodle soup on my middle torso all the way down."

"So hot and painful to the point I had to strip my soaking boiling shoes."

"My reaction was to run and swear."

"He told me If I swore so vocally again he would let me go."

"I then needed medical attention, to which he refused."

"I went to the hospital anyway, came to work the next day with bandages, and was told I would work today's shift as repayment for missing my previous one."

"I explained that was illegal and gave him an ultimatum, either he fix it with him paying my medical bills or I walk."

"He laughed saying I had no control over it."

"So I walked."

"3 months later after filing suit, I supplied all the information needed to indict him on tax fraud, failure to properly insure, failure to maintain a safe work place, and he and his other businesses had to be sold for him to afford the legal costs, my medical bills and the mandatory restitution payments."

"Stupid b*tch is still paying me out, and now that he's fulfilled his sentenced time, lives in a relatively medium sized town and we frequent the same locations."

"I consistently remind him of what his next payment is owed and due."- Bigjerr2007

Time Wasn't Valued

Enough Is Enough

"Large corporation kept 'downsizing' the workforce but not the workload."

"Those of us who were left (team of 15 reduced to 2) felt so lucky to have a job that we didn’t complain about taking on the jobs of three people and working 60+ hours per week."

"Company hires a new department head and a couple months later I have my annual review where he says 'we just need you to do more' to which I replied 'no'."

"No forethought."

"No plan."

"I just knew I couldn’t take on more."

"I definitely caught him off guard."

"And I couldn’t believe 'no' came out of my mouth."

"We were both stunned."

"But that was effectively my two week's notice."- NewUserNameIsDumb

Fed Up With Greed

"I was working as an engineer for a big corporation."

"I was supposed to get a promotion to senior engineer at the start of covid lockdowns, so they told me I wouldn’t get one because of covid."

"Not nice but nothing I could do."

"A couple months later, the company promoted two vice presidents to senior vice presidents, and gave them a huge bonus."

"I then asked for my promotion and they told me that no promotions would take place under Covid."

"I waited a few more months until they finally gave me my promotion."

"And the salary increase was £100 A YEAR."

"Which is much smaller than what my salary was reduced because of Covid."

"I took home the letter indicating I had a promotion, gave my notice and began looking for a senior engineer role somewhere else."

"F*ck greedy corporations."

"I forgot to mention that they removed all our bonuses during this time period, but management got it all."- AnheruKira

It's understandable to bear with a job you hate for the money.

But money can't buy back your dignity and self-worth.

If either of those are being threatened at your place of employment, it's probably time to move on.
