So I got my first job over the summer last year, and I was super excited to have my own income as a teenager. I was making 11 an hour which was later increased to 13 an hour. I was working a lot, but I was fine with it because schedules help get me out of the house more often.
I loved my job at Dairy Queen until my manager decided that instead of being a mature adult, he'd belittle me and mistreat me.
Despite me checking with him a few days before that I was doing OK at my job and that no one had notable complaints that I should work on, he decided that instead of telling me as issues arrived, he'd save them all up and then text them to me all at once after I had to leave early because the entire building was full of smoke (unrelated).
He said he was writing me up and had the audacity to tell me that he shouldn't have to tell me what I'm doing wrong and I should just know what and what not to do. This was in a store that had mold growing in the drains, weird green residue in multiple machines that wouldn't come off, and where I was the only person who knew how to clean the ice cream machines and I was often told not to do that, despite that being against health code and company standards, all because my manager didn't want to stay late while I, not he, finished cleaning it. He sat in his office all day while we worked our asses off.
He didn't treat me with the basic level of respect I'd expect from a coworker or a manager, so I quit without notice.
Why don't people realize that their employees aren't mind readers and that you have to tell them when something wrong? Nothing will change unless you act mature for five damn minutes.
