One fed-up ex-Walmart worker has won the internet's hearts after a video he posted of quitting his job over the loudspeaker that also called out his coworkers ableism.
TikToker Gryphon (@norobkai) went to work with the intention of quitting.
But he didn't just show up to quit, he also showed up to call out some behavior he could not abide including coworkers making fun of an autistic member of their crew.

Gryphon said over the intercom:
“Attention all Walmart shoppers and members of management."
“It has come to my attention that the managers in the online grocery pickup department don’t respect any of their employees, and that they’d rather hide and be on their phones when it gets busy.”

Aside from the managers who refused to help their teams during a rush, there was another thing Gryphon took issue with.
“They also like making fun of employees with autism, and they are blatantly disrespecting every employee in that back room.”
“So I’m not going to be representing this company anymore, I’m leaving. Have a good day.”

Gryphon—real name Robbie Jaggers—told The Daily Dot what management did amounted to petty intimidation tactics and mean displays of bullying against his autistic friend.
He said:
“The most recent thing I remember them doing to her was making fun of the way she smells."
"They would make jokes about her hygiene and when she left the room, our team lead would spray Febreze everywhere while covering her nose, making a huge deal out of it."
"That’s happened multiple times.”

Jaggers said no one from Walmart—local or corporate—has acknowledged his resignation or the issues he brought up in the clip.
The Great Resignation rages on.
