Just saw this gem on FB. Tell me you’re a toxic workplace without telling me you’re a toxic workplace. You would not believe the amount of people defending this!

Office Prima Donna

Ever notice that the people who “really” like to be in the office are the ones that want an audience most? They are the ones who can't wait to crack their latest joke or make that sarcastic remark on behest of someone. It's like they have no social outlet so they need the workplace to be their captive audience. The office is not meant to social engineer people's lives.. “Oh you need a healthy social life, therefore, you need to be in the office so you can be socialized”.

Message I just sent my boss

Jordon, I’m not returning to work. I applied for and interviewed for a full time bartender position (which is was the indeed application stated). You started training me as a server WITHOUT ASKING ME, therefore you deliberately lied to me and tricked me into a job position I did not even apply for.

I told you in the interview I cannot accept anything less than full time. I have…

I just got terminated from my place of employment for the past 4 years. How much trouble would I get in leaving letters behind for my coworkers?

I have to return company property back to the business, and during that time I was planning on typing up a few paragraphs directed at my coworkers reminding them of some of the shitty things our bosses can do. We work in pools so water safety is a big deal… something often handwaved to keep swim lessons going (can't lost profits!). I also might throw some shade about my being let go while on medical leave after giving a doctors note. Would I be exposing myself to any legal trouble by leaving these papers in multiple lockers and other places in the break room? I want to do it but I'm worried about retaliation.
