So apparently i just quit/got fired on my first formal day. Some rude assistant manager got mouthy and didn't want to talk to me..
We had a big order and i got the first few fries ready, The rest were cooking. Mind you it's my first day and I'm doing fries with no training other than my previous experience in food. Rather than give cold fries, i left the ones we had under heater to stay warm. She starts snapping at me to load them into bags. i explain myself, she rudely shouts, “no you do as you're told!!” So i said, “so I'll walk out before you talk to me like that.” And she's like “k bye. ” so i leave the situation to talk to GM and he was like, “well yeah that's not ok but that's how she is, so I'll probably have to ask you to leave..” and she comes back and starts trying to say how she told me 3 times and i refused, i try to correct her and get a go f*** yourself look and told “it's not your turn to talk” so i took off my apron and hat and said nope I'm out. she pops off again, so i told her “f*** you and your s***ty attitude” GM tried to yell at me to gtfo, i told him “dude i literally am. ” and now I'm having onion rings and a screwdriver slush at spangles.
My mental health, personal boundaries, and refusal to be disrespected is noncompromising, and I'll never again question walking away from any situation that requires me to sacrifice any. If you can't treat your employees right, you don't deserve to have them. Period. And if you can't see your leadership is not good, and refuse to correct it when it's called out, you're a shitty leader.
