So this happened nearly a decade ago but thought I'd share this story of a terrible company with terrible management.
I was working at a place that preyed on people who were poor (think “finance here” auto dealers). I was a loan underwriter, hated it.
Weekly meetings would turn into people literally screaming at others, after my first few I would never speak up again and just wait for the fireworks.
I had finally had enough and put in my 2 week notice. I was heading to a different job (different sector even) even if for the same crap pay, I wanted out.
I had mentally clocked out well before my 2 week notice, but I was now doing less than the bare minimum during it. On the final day of my 2 weeks, I decided I should leave about 5 hours before closing. I wasn't going to do anymore work for them if I was clocked in anyways. I was saying bye to a few good people when my manager and an upper manager came out of their office screaming about how I would amount to nothing, I was what is wrong with people today, the upper managers face turned beet red in his rage.
It didn't bother me at all. Seeing others workers befuddled was funny. Why is this guy screaming, everyone knew it was my last day for 2 weeks? I smiled and made my exit quicker. Everyone saw this crazy from an upper manager and I knew I won.
