Antiwork

Panic attacks led to me getting fired / me quitting.

Ive been working 7 months, 6 days a week now for a small nameless diner. Its been fun, besides the people that come in there and get fired within a couple hours,my manager/owner of the diner drinks beers at 2pm because of the lifestyle, and the area of the restaurant. Also should mention that i was the only dishwasher and had more prep than ive done at any restaurant. Bringing in orders from the food truck alone. Even had to bring in extra from boss’s wife’s car. He would have his kids helping him with prep sometimes; obviously that not being very workplace environment with them slipping and sliding on the wet floors… Anyway, i had a stressful last few weeks, not eating anything in the mornings, and sometimes not even eating all day because “its too busy”.

Anyway, i had a stressful last few weeks, not eating anything in the mornings, and sometimes not even eating all day because “its too busy”. Like that was ever a good excuse to starve, it came to a tipping point because of my mood.
My boss today, whom I have a good relationship with started yelling at me and saying i wasnt doing good enough this morning. Mentioning that ive had problems with the people hes fired, it tipped me off and i yelled about just anything that has pissed me off in the past months.
Then he took his apron and hat off, and said “you wanna take this outside?”
Immediately knew this wasnt the place for me. He tried using anything that he was dealing with, against me like it was actually my problem. I tried asking him to put himself in my shoes and he said i dont care about anyone… watch where you work!!!!!!
