After reading some “why bad management drove me to quit stories” I figured I would tell mine.. pretty entertaining lol (I will provide the name of the company in an edit, if allowed)

The year was 2014.. I just graduated undergraduate school and I wanted to take a year off before graduate school. So I got a job at a furniture/appliance rental store… I like being active so I figured this job would allow that without being micromanaged. The manager of this store seemed like a decent guy at first, but I quickly realized he was “meat head”, short-tempered, steroid abuser, that wore tight shirts… just to paint a picture in your head. I had no significant issues for the first 2 months or so. The first strike came when I noticed that the manager started making sexual comments to the only female that worked there, which made her quit, rightfully so. She was a great co-worker. (I advised her to do more than that, but she didn’t want to make a bunch of noise so quitting was easier) 2nd strike came a…

I submitted my two weeks and my boss is ignoring me and never replied to my two emails LOL

Essentially I submitted my two weeks because I got a job offer that’s double my pay with benefits and full time. I submitted my two weeks and my boss left me on read (he only wants us to communicate to him via message) I also sent an email with my official two weeks notice and a follow up email. This was 5 days ago. He’s now ignoring me in the office and won’t acknowledge me. Probably because he knows no one wants minimum wage anymore and he’s gonna have a hard time finding someone who will accept minimum wage for data entry. It’s super awkward here at work now.

To work respectably, I must also be allowed to live respectably.

Hey guys, I've been following the movement for some time. As a kid I had the suspicion that a large majority in this country foots the bill for a small minority. As I grew up I saw the daily stresses of adult life, and it confused me. Why did they have to do it? It's not what I was raised to expect. In TV, I see Baristas, fry-cooks and other employees driving respectable cars, living in respectable homes. In the family sitcom 'Married With Wives and Kids' the father was a shoe salesmen at a mall but afforded to live in a two story three bedroom house while his wife took care of the kids. The majority of people are supposed to be able to afford the basics. Namely a house and family. Maybe that's why the birthing rate is dropping, and men are leaving the workforce. When I actually…

I work for a large wholesale company that is contributing to the baby formula crisis

There is no formula on our company’s shelves and this is why… A lot of individuals that own corner/convenience stores are abusing the system. It’s not a bias or a guess – it’s a fact. I have personally seen it happen over and over again. Every single day that we get a shipment of formula in. This is how it works….. a member that owns a shop will come in, buy the limit of 2. They will then handover their membership to someone else and that person will go into another line and buy 2 more. Now, this is when we get suspicious….. so what they do now is use another membership and buy 2 more, switch lines and buy more. They have multiple memberships all under different names and business accounts. The same 2 people will buy however many cans of formula that they possibly can with each membership.…
