I used to work at Dairy Queen. On my last day I ordered an ice cream cake for then end of my shift. So I walked out the back, came to the front and asked to pick up my cake. The result was my manager hand delivering a cake that said they’d all miss me and call me a hero. That was fun

First story: Lady - so how much do I owe yiu? Man - I won't take your money, but I will take your hand... In marriage. 😁

The first one is so epic and I was like awwwwww when I found out they were married

That first story had all of jake’s needs for a good story Action Romance Suspense And most importantly, happy ending

My sister's friend told us a hilarious story about how he quit his job. His boss was a huge jerk to him for no reason, so he wrote out this letter about how he was going to fulfill his lifelong dream of joining the circus. It included a bunch of ridiculous stuff along with the line, "Don't try to talk me out this decision, I know you'll miss me," which was extra funny considering how obviously his boss hated him.

The McDonald's one is true. It gets unimaginably cold at the window during winter but no one really cares if you can no longer feel your fingers and toes.

I introduced one of my coworkers to GOT and he really got hooked. The day i gave my 2-week notice, I sang to him "Rains of Castemere" while pointing at myself and he knew I was on my way out. When I hugged goodbye to the team on my last day, when he hugged me, he also "stabbed" me while whispering "for the watch!".... it was great lol

I worked for a credit card company and we were legally required to stick with a script verbatim. A new guy got hired who immediately got off script got like 4x the conversions of most people then was quickly promoted and held up as an example. Bit fuzzy on detail but I think what he did was read the script in such a way to cause the customer to respond in a way that let him legally get off script and once he was off he could stay off.

No way in hell would I go back to eating pizza after the employee said they pissed in the sauce.

"Blacklisting somebody from an entire industry is very, very illegal." Tell that to Konami. I doubt they will stop, but worth a shot.

Classified ad written by someone who presumably no longer works at Subway: "Come work at Subway and have your soul crushed with the rest of us."

Me again. My Step sister quit a job where they expected her to do the workload of three people. They asked if she'd stay long enough to train her replacement. Yeah, I can do that. The person she was training quit before they finished learning the job and my step sister left right after, so then they had no one at all.🤣

I worked at a Flying J travel store back in 2007. I worked on the restaurant/diner part as a line cook. Been there about a year. We got this manager who was really abusive towards the staff and was just an all around asshole. But I stuck it out because I needed the steady pay check. One day I found a better job and put in my two weeks notice. A week later I'm working the dinner rush, which was always bad. Had tickets coming out of my ass and I'm the only person on the line. Manager is pissed that tickets are getting backed up and comes back to yell at me. I tell him he's gonna have to just deal with it or help me out since I'm the only one back here. He says to me "I OWN you for 7 more days. So get your shit together or you're out." I laughed out loud, took off my apron, and told him I'm out. It was nice to have a week off before starting my new job. The most satisfying part was all the calls from him begging me to come back and finish my shift, and then the corporate GM calling me to inquire why I didnt finish my two weeks.

The girl who normally delivered my pizza quit her job amidst a sexual harassment complaint against her store's owner. She called up all the regular customers and notified us about what had been going on and that she was going to be delivering pizza for another pizza place in the neighborhood. The previous place she worked closed down a year later. It's a small town and everyone learned about what her boss did real quick.

That first story was awesome. Imagine that dude telling the story to his kids . "How I met your mother " .

That first story was a wild ride! "So the service manager wanted me to overcharge someone... So naturally I married her, quit my job, got the service manager fired, the police were called... what a busy day!"

Telemarketers have to stick to the script, because the vast majority of their employees...are not skilled in sales. But this punishes the few people who actually ARE skilled in sales...

Wow, that first story. My mom in 1970s bought a new Datsun. The clutch started acting up. She took it to the dealership service department and was told the clutch needed replacement $200. On a new car? She said no. She worked at GE and told some other employees. One lady says my husband works there. Let me tell him. She gets a call from Datsun service. Let us take another look. They check it again. Now its just a simple adjustment.

The reason telemarketing companies can't accept the no-script model is because of lack of control. The script makes peoples output lower... but they think it will at least be predictable over all. There is also a race to the bottom in terms of salary, so anyone who is actually good at sales will very quickly leave and anyone who is shit at it will stick around, driving their numbers into the ground. Sales positions are EXTREMELY well paid in basically all companies. This boils down to the fact that the management can't bullshit sales people. When the manager says 'hey, we've really got to tighten our belts, no raises right now', the sales person can just straight up pull out numbers and be like "bullshit. I made this company $750k in sales and the product only cost the company $200k, that's $550k in profit I brought in this year MYSELF. Raise or I walk." None of the other positions in the company can do that. Everyone else is kept in a nebulous zone where it is unclear just how much they contribute to the companies bottom line, whether they are a net profit or loss for the company, and by how much in either direction. That information should be known by the executives and a very few people at the top of most companies, at least per department if not per person, but they will NEVER allow it to be known. EVER. That would amount to actual capitalism, and that's the last thing they want. They have no desire to compete with other companies on wages.

5:31 i had a similar issue when my granmother was in her last months. we were understaffed and busy as hell so i didnt think i could get any time off for her. told my work, they gave me vacation time off just for it. there are many things i dislike about them, especially in 2020, but they do come out from time to time as very caring people.

I used to work at McDonald's. I walked in one day with my uniform shirt with "I quit" written on it and walked out after showing my supervisor

The Midas garage worker is a hero.

"...I peed in the pizza sauce." . . .and 10 minutes later, people returned to their meals. Ewww!

I was not prepared for the ending of the Midas story *real tears*

That dude meeting his wife is an epic story 😍

I got Covid and was outta work for 3 weeks, when I came back they tried to move me to a different department (I loved my job in the other department) but I figured I’ll atleast give it the old college try and the pay was good plus 20 hours OT a week every week, well they showed me to what would be my new job, it was god awful, repetitive motions for 12 hours and the people I saw doing it looked absolutely miserable, we went back to the “Dojo” as they called it to finish some training before I could go out on the floor... They had all the engine parts laid out on the table for me to memorize, I asked if I could use the bathroom quick and they said of course... I still laugh about it to this day, I wonder when they realized “he ain’t taking a shit is he?”

Even when Updoot gets the title correct, he always manages to find a way to make something incorrect. Good work! 2:35

Hearing all these stories further supports my theory that becoming a manager means having to sacrifice a large portion of your humanity. I swear every Job I've had they always pick the person with the worst people skills to be a manager.

Oh, man. That first one hit haaaard. I used to work for a Car Dealership and the Body Shop estimators always over-ordered pieces and barely did proper inspections of the situations. I used to work for Parts Delivery and we'd recieved a shit ton of pieces for cars that weren't even in the shop yet. Sometimes we'd send those pieces back to the warehouses and annoyingly had to return products ourselves because other Dealerships don't pick up pieces they dropped off. Clearly, whoever worked those positions were fucking terrible at it.

17:30 this is an old Navy submarine trick. The sub's septic tanks fill up, and every day or every few days they need to vent the tanks overboard. Since they do this while submerged several hundred feet, it takes a huge amount of pressure to overcome the natural water pressure and force the contents of the tank out of the hull. The only thing preventing this pressure from blowing back into the toilet itself is the flush valve (I know there's a series of valves involved, but simplifying). There would be a "Do Not Use" sign hung on the door of the bathroom during this process. If some really unpleasant person was predictable in their business and you know the guy responsible for timing the overboard vents, that sign just might go missing at a key moment. I've heard that while newer designs mitigate this to some degree, with older (early-mid Cold War) subs you could literally bounce a guy off the ceiling with a crap geyser under him. DISCLAIMER: I am neither current nor former Navy.

When I worked for a local CBS station that did the 5 and 10 o'clock news; I was a sound guy but also part-time IT. Was about 1998. I had been asked to assist with building 60 new PCs by the sole IT guy. I did that for about 6 months in between the news broadcasts. While building the PCs, I had 'FULL' access to look through EVERY SINGLE doc on the network and the HR dept. I found the latest DOC that showed EVERYONE'S pay, including the anchors. (They were making average of $400k each) Around that time, I had to change jobs due to some family crap. Before my last day, I was made aware one of the main Managers was talking crap about me leaving. So...on my last day, I emailed EVERYONE in the company the pay scale doc!! I later heard a bunch of people quit and a bunch were demoted, etc! Was told there was a day that coworkers went to blows and the police had to be called! Never mess with IT personnel as we prob know secret stuff about you!

When I was around 19 I worked at a truck stop diner owned by Greeks, (I'm Greek and Puerto Rican btw). All of the kitchen staff were Mexican. There was one kitchen employee who literally followed me all over the restaurant every day, asking me to marry him, asking me to go back to Mexico with him, etc. This was a very busy restaurant and every time I turned around this guy was right there. I dealt with it for a few days then at the end of the night on the 3rd night I discreetly pulled my manager aside and explained the situation to him and pointed out it was also sexual harassment. This jackass looked me in my eyes and told me to take it like a woman! I said, oh, okay. Let me show you how a woman would take it then. I went to the kitchen, flung the door open and yelled IMMIGRACIÓN!! All 12-14 kitchen employees flee out the back door. I turn around to walk out the door and as I pass my boss I tell him, "now close this mother****** by yourself, and take THAT like a MAN!!" My dad was pissed when I told him I quit/got fired until I explained it to him...he laughed about it for days.

That first one is so god damned wholesome. I love it.

the first guy working in the garage, wow man i would love to meet him someday 24 years and going strong man am i happy for him:)

One of my co-workers who already had another job lined up, basically got up and said in front of a line of 40 customers: “Fuck You all, I’m gonna go watch Game of Thrones”

I wish I could say I quit my most recent job but they actually fired me, but I did get to yell at them while they were firing me. Plus, now everyone still talks shit about me like I'm still working there so that's fun. I constantly get messages from old coworkers saying "Did you hear _______ said _______ about you?" like I'm still there to care about it.

If I ever quit my job, my ass would be covered, theirs maybe not.

I used to manage a fast food restaurant. Folks please finish your shift before you quit. There are people that can't quit and have to stay. Those people get stuck doing a lot more work and more hours when that stuff happens. Just finish your shift. It's a shit job, but the people who work there aren't.

I know a it guy who haed a big problem with his boss (pay cut or something like that) he got into the it room and deleted everything from all divices of the entire company, he also infected all PCs with a virus and practically destroyed the company (he got legal troubles of course, but the company has gotten bankrupt and closed shortly after)

That mechanic 😍

First story is basicly "How i meet your mother" TLDR :D now can we make that an 5-8 season tv show? :D

Document destruction company that sounds like "fuck-it". A truck that had half of it's brakes not working 50% of the time. The shop they went to would say anything passed inspection for the right price. That truck went like that for almost three years. No heat. No AC. Windows pinned so they could only lower 1 inch for "security purposes", while you could open any door on it with any key. Or a screwdriver. Same to start it. Automatic, with no parking gear, so E-brake is all you had. E-brake became horribly out of alignment. Company treats its people like absolute trash. Customer had their loading section on a pier, and the pier had a slightl incline towards the water. They fished the truck out with the e-brake still showing it was "activated". All those federal/medical records in it had to be burned instead of shredded. huge security breach. All on the company's ass.

A lot of these stories are nice fairytales.

Back in the seventies, a person could work at 13 years of age. I applied for a dishwasher job. The manager was an a..hole. One day he told me I had to clean the employee lounge floor with a toothbrush. I just thought he joking around. The following week he said it again and if I didn't do it I would lose my job. Well most of the staff didn't like him because of his favoritism. He had two waitresses that stole from the others with his permission. Two strikes I was done. I waited until all the dishes and pans were dirty. None clean. Asked the cooks if they were going to clean dishes, nope. This was the evening rush also. So that's when I walked out towards the door. He stopped me and asked where I was going. I told him I quit and that everything was dirty and he needed to start washing dishes because no one else was going to. The look on his face was priceless.

Worked at jack in the box once. They made me go directly back and forth between cleaning the vents and serving tacos. They talked shit about the workers that worked at least 10 times as hard as I did. On my way home I called them out on their bullying, they just sat there choking. Lost for words. Not soon after I went back, threw my uniform on the counter eye contact included and walked out without saying a word.

omg the poop exploding toilet one i was just rolling on haha

I worked at McDonald’s as a teen to. Their was a crew lead who didn’t like me from the first day because as I was learning he said I was “too slow.” I just said ok and moved on cause I didn’t really care about his opinion. Two weeks later everything was pretty slow and I was cleaning off the grill. He walked in and said “why do I do everything so slow?” I was confused and said “you wouldn’t know wtf I was doing if you weren’t watching me 24/7.” He got angry and tried to fight me in the parking lot after that so I took off my apron and threw on the floor and said “aye bro this is McDonalds. If you are on this much of a power trip no wonder 4 people have quit in the 2 weeks I’ve been here.” The GM called me the next day and offered me 10 cent raise as well to come back. I asked “wtf am I gonna do with 10 cents” and hung up.

Uh i have one work “friend” (i work in IT consulting btw) that ghost us in the middle of big project. We didn’t see it coming cause He left everything in our dorm (all his shoes, clothes, and stuff). When my boss finally can get him in touch (like 2 weeks after he left) the only thing he said is “If I don’t want to get back what will you do HUH?!!”

Hahaha! The business card placed on the turd made me spray my half chewed fried rice 😂 Why I listen to these while eating I'll never understand.

I need these stories every now and then. So satisfying to listen to, having worked so many garbage jobs myself specifically with horrible management.

A 10¢ raise to stay at a mc donalds job after you decide your finally fed up with it... Nope...

That first one is highkey really sweet

That first story man!

2:23 thats just hilarious and *wholesome* 💜💜💓💕💖💗💘❤❤💖💕💓💙💙💝

2:21 that's a really happy ending 😊

16:39 My manager could not lead water downhill. In a world of darkness where you held the only light, I still would not follow you.

The thing to take away from this, people: A job isn't worth your happiness, sanity, or pride. If there comes a moment where you ask yourself "Why am I working here?" It's probably a good time to quit. Even if you love your coworkers and it's a good job-- if something about it is stressing you the fuck out, quit it. Being unemployed can be scary, but you'll suddenly have free time and there are always other jobs out there. You'll thank yourself later.

The first story is exactly why my car is sitting in my driveway needing to be fixed. They think because I am a chick that I have no clue how a car works. I do, I took two years of mechanics in school, so I sure as hell know how a car runs. I just lack the tools/jacks and areas to fix it myself.

“Did the brakes.” Oh I BET they did

I keep watching these even though I politely gave my boss a 2 weeks notice that I am now working through. And I didn't tell him why I am leaving so all he could say was "well, all righty then" after several silent minutes

3:50 For anyone curious why this seems to happen so often, it's because those scripts are run by at least 2 legal departments, in order to avoid lawsuits and the like if you're called on such activities. As such, they're typically bland and badly written. What he did likely might have gotten the company in trouble, had they been called to court over it, but it does also tend to result in it being more approachable.

That first one made me pretty happy to see.

wish i could quit my last job like these people one day i was just on my limit after working alone on a pizzeria for a whole month, having bake pizzas,o clean the place , and also take care of a second kitchen preparing food for the next day lunch and ,since i was extremely burned out i decided on my only free day on the week to go there and talk with my boss that i was thinking about quit that job his answer was " no you will not quit, and you also will come here later and help clean this place up because you are doing a shitty job" i said ok and ghosted the place luckly today im doing twice the money i did on that place selling art comissions at home

I used to work for a street sweeping business. The hours were grueling, and I'm pretty sure I got life-threateningly sick off of that job. Anyway, this was about the time that Uber and Lyft came on the scene. I applied to be an Uber driver, tested that out, and brought home just about as much money as I make per week at the street sweeping job. One night, I was supposed to go to work, but I was dog tired, And I really needed to rest; so I emailed my manager and told them in so many words that I'm tired, and I'm tired of being overworked and underpaid. Y'all can take this job and shove it. And I didn't mention the fact that this was not long after I got out of the hospital, and had to take an unpaid leave to recover for 6 weeks.

I got a story. Tell me if I should post this to reddit with more details. I worked at a restaurant who had a problem employee. He was a drug addict. IV type drugs. He shot up in the bathroom on the diaper changing station. I was in charge of cleaning everything including the bathrooms every 30 minutes. He would be in the same position in the bathroom in front of the changing station for 30 to 50 minutes everyday he was on shift. I took pictures of the mess he left behind and the carbon transfer caused by setting the spoon down with carbon buildup on the station. I sanitized thw whole bathroom after everytime. I reported his drug use by following the procedure on the manual. I was given a write up for violating his privacy, one for insubordination, and one for harassment. I said I cannot work here because you have created a hostile work environment. I then headed for the backdoor and told my brother, the cook, that I quit because they, the uppermanagement, were defending a drug addict and endangering the welfare of the customers. The management then treated me like a hostile guest and forced me out of the building ignoring the fact I was already leaving and banned me from my ride. My brother drove me to work. He told them they were morons and if they didnt want to be down a cook too they were going to let him find me and return me home 50 miles away. I contacted the bbb and corporate hq and the various local news organizations. The druggy was defended by the management but corporate gave the order to fire him. I did not return to that job. For those who must know. The restaurant had a fruit and an insect in its one word name. Way more details available. Respond to this if I should post to reddit.

>people changing the script for telemarketing increases sales. i wonder why companies havent caught on it probably only works for a day

I worked at McDonald's for nine years. This one Saturday morning, we were down three people, and I was stationed to work breakfast grill by myself in the middle of breakfast rush while there is a BOGO sale on McMuffins. I had folded eggs, scrambled eggs, hotcakes, sausage, bacon, muffin eggs, and burrito mix all on the grill. Cinnamon rolls, bagels, and biscuits in the oven. Everything was burning. A newly promoted manager with swelled head syndrome went back there and started yelling at me because I couldn't magically pull everything off three different grills and two ovens at exactly the same time. I just looked at her and said, "If you think you can do any better, then do it yourself." I punched out and left. She didn't know how to cook breakfast. When I got home, my mom asked me what happened so I told her the truth. She drove up there and was going to yell at that manager, but manager was on the floor in uncontrollable tears, drive thru line was wrapped around the parking lot twice. Cashiers giving out free coffee because nobody could cook. They were waiting on relief cooks to come from a different store. I had no regrets. I found a job making more money with lots of benefits a week later. When hiring manager asked why I left, I simply told him I got burned out.

that sympathy card one is gold!

I heard the first story in another video so long ago and spent so long trying to find it again. Here it is literally the first story

My favorite story is that I used to work for a small fence building company. In the south at that. So as you can imagine it’s a bunch of country people. The owner was a fat lazy POS. We were all underpaid and overworked. And had unsafe working conditions. I was hired on a 90 day temp to hire deal. I should add that I made myself indispensable in that 90 days. Our crew handled all the custom fences (aluminum and the expensive plastic ones) and that after I started productivity went up about 40%. I drove the truck and trailer when needed. Operated large equipment. Handled jobs we didn’t normally do such as grading driveways etc. well when I found out I wasn’t getting hired on at 90 days I took that poorly. I organized a mass quitting. The only people left after was my boss who couldn’t quit as the slumlord owner was renting a trailer to him. And the 16-18 yr olds that worked in the shop making double what the crews were. Even his estimator quit. We then called OSHA on him. And alerted his suppliers that he was violating contracts by modifying prefabricated materials and passing them off as his own. Wrecked the business, 3 years later it still hasn’t recovered. Should also add that I went and worked for the local competition immediately after and I also organized a mass quitting there as well. 12 hours into a work day, they were sending us to go start a new job and we had to dig 80 post holes by hand before we could leave. Needless to say that Job didn’t get done. And I was told they regularly would work 16+ hours a day. And still have to come in the next day at regular time. Which is illegal. I had them audited by the state for labor law violations and they had to pay a multi hundred thousand dollar fine. Don’t treat employees like dogshit if you own a small business.

That first story is very wholesome. :)

Haha that first story was actually really cute lol. Also the one with the Christmas card was hilarious.

If the ladies don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy

I'm a LARPer. After 5 years of bullying at the golden arches, I was begged to go 1 day over my notice to work one final Saturday because the nearby cinema had the opening night of Harry Potter, and there was also a huge sports event. It was common for the line to go out the store and around the block for just one of those two things. Then half the kitchen called out sick. I was asked for 2 more hours to cover the rush, and did the work of a manager and two other people while my brother and his friends cheered me on. I was applauded on clock out. But I got to my car and remembered I needed my payslip. So I grabbed my belt and slung my biggest, angriest looking LARP mace and casually walked back in to get it. I'll never forget the look on my manager's face.

The problem with changing your sales pitch = more sales is that the sales pitches are generally designed to avoid anything illegal, so straying too far from the script can get you and your company in a lot of trouble. Not that I haven't occasionally done this in the heat of the moment from time-to-time. Thank God I don't work sales any more though. I'm now on the Customer Service side. I'm paid more, treated like a human, and only have to do 10-12 calls a day (15 on a really busy day), and I have to find solutions for Customers, so I'm allowed to speak to them like a normal person most of the time. (Aside from the scripted response when answering the phone.)

Be careful if you do something similar to the toilet one. Water shooting into a person's rectum can actually kill them and you'd get charged with manslaugther at best or even 3rd degree murder.

My last job wanted the "women owned" label and fired or moved every male manager and replaced them with soccer moms that had never held a job before. I watched them screw up everything and destroy every procedure for assembly before I left. That place sunk quickly.

12:20 You'd think if he was gonna put that much into it, he'd figure out the best time.

Oh man that first story is soo good, I listened to it twice

Omggg the best story of love and kindness everrr. I have goosebumps all over thank you beautiful souls ..

Gotta admit, that service manager was one hell of a wingman

That first one??? Awww that’s so fucking adorable🥺💗

I love how one guy says "going all ducking out" Then the next guy avtually goes all ducking out. Lmfao

2:18 from one tech (airplanes) to another, you are a good soul for doing that! I Hope people spread that good word about you! Maybe you can do some buisness out of your garage! edit: HA!! You two hitched up! Hell yeah!!!

In regards to the first story, the guy who worked at Midas, I work in a garage and we did rear drum brakes on one of our personal cars, a Chevy cobalt. We just did shoes and drums, we were lazy and didn't replace the hardware because it looked alright. The next day they took it on the interstate and the springs broke. We all learned a lesson that day, don't be lazy when it comes to cars.

😂😂😂😂😂 OMG !!!! The pressurized toilet !!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Someone Someone called a *McDonalds* employee 'entitled'.

First one my first thought at the end was "I bet he got himself a girlfriend too." I was close.

I HAD a plan for this if I ever felt I was unjustly screwed over at my job at a videogame rental store, since most of the games were downloaded and a good chunk of them needed specific accounts to get in. My plan was that, on my last day I would spend my time completely wiping EVERYTHING they had in the hard drives of the consoles, forcing them to have to download everything again, having to recover the accounts, and being screwed over with the games that had unlockables and progress saved to them. Luckily, I never had to resort to it. When I eventually left the store, I was in good terms with my boss.

The armor guy at 9:30 is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

The first guy definitely had the Midas touch. Lol.

If I were their coworker I would have HATED that last person. Forget cursing their name, I'd be cursing their entire bloodline for leaving all that for us to fix.

I had 30 minutes left of my shift then I was moving across the country. I lifted the tray “incorrectly” to move it 6inches to load it with coffee, the owner got all in my face yelling how I still didn’t know to correctly lift a tray. So I picked it up, looked him straight in the eye then because I physically cannot hold the tray “correctly” (muscle issues, which I had explained over the 2 years I worked there) and dropped the $30 dollars of juice/coffee/soda right on the floor and left

If You can do it and work retail big box stores and convince others to do it have a mass resignation on Thanksgiving or the day before work your shift, clock out hand your manager a letter saying you Quit/Resign effective immediately. they plan on having 200 workers on the clock for Black Friday they only have the managers and have other unscheduled employees turning their phones off or temporarily blocking their work number and any managers personal cell number.

Pizzaguy claiming to pee in the pizza sauce... I remember this joke from a cruise ship. Chinese cook goes to the captain to haggle for more pay. "If I get mole pay, I'll pee mole in the soup of the day" .. just dont know how successful his strategy was ;-)

the exploding toiled made me cackle like a witch

That last one was the best

Quit work as you please, but just remember depending on how you do it, it's your own coworkers who end up suffering

That first story was great

Last story I thought that he would press the start button on the cardboard crusher "storage" unit and leave!
