Worked for a tiny husband & wife marketing agency with 4 employees, wife was super anal and micromanaging, extremely unpleasant to work for in general. They had a home office so one day they invited me to lunch because I never took lunch, as I prefer to work straight through my day, so I ended the day an hour early instead.
Anyway, they wanted to go to a specific holistic vegan organic restaurant (no judgement im a vegan myself, but they’re super over the top). The place was a bit further away, they drove I was a passenger. Well, the ordeal took over an hour, as you could imagine, and they made me clock out and in, and docked me for the extra time. I was essentially a hostage as I couldn’t leave to return to work and they were the ones who were taking their time ordering & eating at a sit down restaurant in the middle of the day.
I worked there a total of about two months before I no called no showed one day when I had another job lined up. The only time I’ve ever no called, no showed but they were both insufferable and extremely condescending so I really don’t regret it.
