I raised a huge fuss over it. Not just because I was being docked a week of pay during the holidays but we have foreign employees making $700.00 a month who need that money more than the owners do (who are currently on their way to Dubai for the holidays).
The manager told me he’d talk to the owners. Then he turned around and said to me, Why can’t you just be happy we are getting a week off from work?
I said, Because we aren’t getting paid for that week and it’s the holidays.
He says, I’m putting my neck on the line and making myself look like an asshole by bringing this up to the owners bc you’re always so negative and don’t know how to do your job.
I said, Fine then find someone else to do my job for me. And I quit.
The fight was longer and more detailed and actually built up for weeks prior and involved other staff members and I had been interviewing bc the place is toxic AF but I mean, damn. I just couldn’t deal with this fucking punk ass “manager” and he needed to be verbally bitch slapped and I did that.
Then the owner has the audacity to say things like, How am I supposed to replace you in two weeks? Did you even think about us before making this decision? This is the thanks we get?
I said, You put an ad in Indeed just like everyone else. You have three weeks bc we are closed the last week of December. Manager said I don’t know how to do my job so I’m giving you the opportunity to find someone better than me. And I owe you nothing, you paid me for a job and I showed up every day and did it.
They found an accountant in Romania the next day. They are paying her $500/month.
I got hired at my top choice job the next day too. Yay, me!
