She wrote me up for leaving work early to pick up my sick child from school then went on a 45 minute lecture about how she stayed and finished her shift when her son had a seizure. Didn't make me think anything better of her work ethic, just made me think she's a shitty parent
gargoamber
I have quit many jobs because of coworkers being shitty pieces of lazy shit and nothing ever getting done about it
Ibelizzy
I just quit my job today for this very reason. Fucking pervert. I really loved my job too.
PeachyPanic
I literally just put in my 2 week notice, I hate the job, I actually really like my boss.
reevethiev
Same here! I'm moving, wish I could take my managers with me.

Let me tell you how to use a pie chart. This is the wrong way to pie.
ExclusivelyShitposts
It's a disaster, it's a stacked bar chart represented as a pie? Who even thinks up shit like this. Is the area 25%? Or the height? It sucks.
zebzebzeb
Holy shit, her kid had a seizure and she still prioritized work?? Good riddance on leaving, she sound like a complete asshole
Icefirealchemy
I called my boss that my grandmother died and I have to prepare the funeral and this means I won't come to work that day. A few weeks (1)
Icefirealchemy
later he summoned me to his office and carefully explained to me that, should someone else from my family die unexpectedly, I must come (2)
Icefirealchemy
and work until 14:00 and then I would be allowed to leave...and that's one more reason to hate living in Germany:(
20lbTuxedoKitten
I'll be leaving my boss soon too. I feel bad for the coworkers I'm leaving behind. Worst part is, she doesn't realize how bad she is.
Corona688
Nobody does. They all like to think they're working real hard, too. Sometimes the reason they're working so hard is they're dumb.

My mom's boss bullied her. Haven't seen my mom feeling so down in all my life. At least the boss is about to get replaced soon.
bananag1raffe
This is so motherfuckin true... 100% true for me
jasta6
I'm mostly okay with my boss. I'd like to quit my co-workers though.
therealgrennhald
Yup, feel that. But that might be due to my boss not dishing out consequences for laziness.
jasta6
This is true.
levzin
This!! I worked for a Starbucks inside a Kroger and they could never figure out who really had authority. I was their "best worker" 1/2
levzin
But they took advantage of my work ethic, and I quit when they wouldn't give me the hours I needed which were agreed upon. 2/2
Blazzical
Happened to my girlfriend. She was supposed to be the 'lead employee', but boss hired... a second 'lead employee'. In a cafe? Doesn't work.
levzin
Yep. One woman's mom died so they doubled my hours. Then dropped them in half again when she came back. I was pissed!! And then they 1/?
levzin
Fucking hired another person! I was barely getting 16 hrs at the time and hiring a newby was going to cut everyone's hours to fit her in 2/?
ParanoidWithGoodCause
the worst is when they actively prevent you from doing your job then bitch when your job wasn't done.
ParanoidWithGoodCause
or my personal favorite "white boys aren't hard workers" when I trained the rest of the staff and could work them all under the table...
myusernameisnotyourconcern
Accurate, but remember this when you are the boss.
PhunPhact
Last day at my job is Friday. Quitting because of discrimination. Becoming a boss at a new job on Monday. Definitely using this advice. :)
IronMaidenCheif
This is why I try to be the boss I always wanted and needed

fudgesickle
I have 9 people reporting to me. I never nickel & dime them for time off or being late. I just ask they call/email me. As for work, 1/2
fudgesickle
2/2 I ask they tell me if they make a mistake before I hear it from others. They are happy & go the extra mile without me having to ask.
fudgesickle
Oh also gave raises & bonuses where deserved. You take care of your people, they will take care of you.
yourcalllightisalreadyinyourhand
wow. what a crazy concept. surely simple fairness isn't the answer? but for real, thank you for being a human.
SomeDetroitGuy
I'm incredibly happy to work for a company that believes in "servant leadership". My job isn't to boss around my programmers. It's to coach,
SomeDetroitGuy
facilitate communication, set priorities, remove roadblocks, and set the gameplan then get out of the way. Much more positive environment.
angrybeards
I just left my job because of the bosses, loved what I did, but they offered no growth no job security. Nothing.
angrybeards
Left for another job with much better pay. The days after I quit, I had the feeling that I'd just gotten out of an abusive relationship.
MadamPuddifoot
I love my boss, hate my company. I bring in A TON of revenue, but get paid the same as people who work half as hard. (1/?)
Chispas
As I read the text, the red in that circle keeps blinking.
Prickamon
The problem with most bosses these days is that they're exactly that: bosses. What we need are leaders.
SomeDetroitGuy
100 times this!!
grobesviech
Why these days? Pretty sure there have been asshole bosses all throughout history
OverpricedCrayon
I think the problem is most bosses arent boss material. They're promoted into the role without considering if they're right for the role.
ProjectSatan
i just quit my boss on tuesday. greatest decision ive ever made. it feels like stepping out of a storm
ShaunB
Steve?
ProjectSatan
nope.. sorry mang
ShaunB
No worries. A really promising guy on my crew quit on Tuesday after a fight with the boss. Wasn't sure if that was you or not.
WallCrawlerArt
I'm doing that in less than two weeks.
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
My last boss just had no people skills. I would have told him why I quit but he made it clear we were nothing to him.
peanutboogertime
That's unfortunate :( sorry dude...
SomeDetroitGuy
And that's why he was a boss and not a leader.
peanutboogertime
Questionable if even a boss... I would expect them to have some level of people skills...
thtguyjosh
My ex boss saw my leaving early to drive my gf to the hospital as a failure. He said she could have taken a taxi
BedlamEnigma
I guess that's why he's your "ex" boss, then.
thtguyjosh
well.. yes
quicksilver1
Just make sure you can organise a job before you leave. If you rage quit your job, kiss references goodbye.
T5Kyle
I just left a company that required one to give two weeks notice when quitting. You did and they fired you a day or two later.
T5Kyle
Took Friday off, walked in late Monday morning, and turned in my keys. It felt GOOOOOD to quit that place.
clotblocker
I left a HS job in the middle of the shift because my boss told me she wouldn't let me have off for graduation
HungryHungryHIPAA
I did the same but for college!
mydawgisgreen
I gave a week's notice. And it wasn't even my class graduating but I didn't care. Wanted time off.
ThePizzaCook
A week notice isnt really enough time, 2 weeks is the general rule. Even at that its always best to ask a couple of weeks in advice.
TommyRottn
For jobs like this - as long as the schedule isn't posted yet, you're good.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
My boss was a dick to me one day even though I was working 80 hour weeks and caught the company underpaying me so I did this, so satisfying.
IFoldlyGo
Also fun is listening to your old coworkers describing your old boss running around in a panic to get stuff done (that you used to do).
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
Oh hell yeah, I was the only person to ever stock the coolers and now they are overflowing with stuff because they don't condense the stock.
ballizlife
H8RS!!
nonamejanie
Now that's just a fucking asshole right there.
Sororita
I quit a job in HS because I got scheduled for a weekend I had asked off for a month in advanced. When I told them I needed both days off...
Sororita
...with my now deceased, at the time had cancer, uncle who loved hunting.
Sororita
...they changed the schedule so I was working both days. Quit on the spot. I needed the weekend for a hunting course so I could go hunting..
lindabelchersfirstcousin
Yea, that asshole is going to extra hell w/ gasoline underwear on. Good for u!
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
I quit mine on the spot one morning after I'd closed the night before, opened that day, and the manager bitched that I was lazy.
Doortotheknob
We called it "clopening".

I think Judge Reinhold played your character in a movie back in the 1980's.

My mom's HS boss expected her to work the day after her dad died suddenly .
peanutboogertime
0.o was she in the US? There are bereavement laws if she was... that's infuriating dude....
CrazyCKCSLady
My dad died suddenly right after I graduated, and my job was willing to hold my position for 2 months
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
I almost left after my boss wouldn't let me have a day off after working 10 days straight. I had scheduled 2 months in advance.
lifeisapicnic
That's illegal as fuck. Report them
Cheesecakecrush
At my old job they worked us 20 days in a row with 1 days off. Only reason they gave THAT to us is because a big customer threatened 1/2
Cheesecakecrush
2/2 to pull sales if they didn't give us at least one day off every 3 weeks
Radsturbation
I've only considered quitting my job because I get no recognition. 3 yrs saving the stores ass, always being the best and still part time
Radsturbation
Never even given a "thank you" when I stay for 12 hours when others don't show up. They just expect me to now a days. They know I'm pissed
Radsturbation
Oh and they offered a new guy full time (who worked for a month there) because him and the big boss are old high school friends. Ugh.
Radsturbation
And yeah, the new guy is shit.
peanutboogertime
I ask for the sake of trying to help- have you told them you want to be full time? Verbally and in writing?
Radsturbation
Yep. They know I want it
blaydex15
The easiest way to move from part time to full time, is to get hired somewhere else as full time. Start looking! But don't burn bridges. 1/

im the 0.1%, im not the boss myself and yet i can still say boss? whats a boss? that man is virtually never here
lifeisapicnic
Me too, it's absolutely priceless
cocodonut
Same, I don't think I've ever had a bad boss, just found better opportunities. Lucky us!
SomeDetroitGuy
I've had amazing ones and terrible ones.
TheDad101
Highly considering this. My boss is applying elsewhere, and I'm in line to take the spot. Only reason I'm hanging on.
JessaNub
Did you get that job?
TheDad101
Nope. Boss is still looking. No surprise he's still looking. But higher management is starting to take note on who's doing everything.
JessaNub
Sorry to hear that! Glad management is taking an interest though. Hope they can resolve it
TheDad101
If not, I got about a years worth of school left until I finish my degree. Also another reason I'm hanging on.
JessaNub
What are you going to school for?

True, sheep want a shepherd or a wolf to keep them moving. They don't don't want one of their own, no mater how strong.
Pengarr
There's a difference between being willing to make hard decisions, or having to be strict, and being an asshole. The former is acceptable.
TheDad101
I do not believe this. I got more Marines to listen to me by other methods than the standard being an ass. However, that is just me.
Mayhaveshatmyself
You may have to be stern from time to time, but not an asshole.
blaydex15
Though some people's "asshole-ometers" get triggered whenever they're asked to do their job. Always rolled eyes at coworkers like that.
glassweaver
Not really. If you have to be an asshole, it just means you're complete shit at putting together an effective team.
JaredKidd
I get what your saying but, to be an effective boss, you sometimes have got to make decisions were you will piss off your workers.
JaredKidd
Just be as tactful as you can
glassweaver
No you don't. If you pissed them off, that means you don't know how to relate to them, or how to explain things properly, or you're....
glassweaver
...hiring shit people. In any of these scenarios that's a reflection of being a shitty boss. Can you pose a scenario where this is not true?
JaredKidd
Firing much loved but very poor employee after multiple warnings
shifty011
Just make sure you remember what they did wrong and try to look at work from your employees' perspective. Good luck!
TheDad101
It's what I do every time. He's not a bad boss when he's there. But that's the issue, he's in 2 or 3 days and that's it. I do all the work.
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
Sounds like you're already mostly the boss anyway. That should make for an easier transition :). But if they snub you, leave.
TheDad101
(2/2) to take the lead spot. Plus, it'll be with AT &T directly. But, first sign of it not happening, I'm out.
TheDad101
That's kind of the plan. I'm not bitching because it is giving me more XP than I would normally get, and positioning me well (1/2)

id like to quit my boss. just gotta find another job where i can make comparable pay.
