Just quit my job today. I wasn''t planning on it, just sort of happened. Got in went to work. I was a cashier at a store and one of the managers wanted to role Play with me . It''s 8:00 in the morning I just woke up and he wants to play games. He didn''t like how I was pitching the things to the customer that they don''t need and was on my ass every customer. "Not gona quit just hang in there man" Then he whips out the "Ok Lets work on your style. Whats a beter way to say...." Signed off an walked out. To bad for him I was the only cashier and he got to do my job for a few hours till backup showed up. Suck to be him. And me MR. Jobless I guess. My friend that got me the job called me later. Thought he would be mad. He said way to go. Someone needed to do that.

Yeah!!!

I worked as a computer programmer and was makin'' about 75k a year... I got tired of being the only programmer that knew what the hell he was doin'' so I quit... of course, I gave notice (no need to screw MYSELF over). That was 3 months ago and been on "vacation" ever since. My savings is funding me while I complete my first computer game =)

Quite a few years back I worked at KFC as a cook. I hated my boss and she hated me. Well, a friend of mine offerred me a job elsewhere, I just had to show up for the interview. I went to work that day, grinned and beared her shit, then at night got interviewed. I turned in my uniform that night. No notice. She told me never to come back.

The best part is three months later she had one of her underlinds call me and try to get me back, when it didn''t work she got on the phone and tried to get me back.
She was such a b....bad person.

I used to be a Lot Attendant for Sams Club. That was hard work. But, it came with ZERO respect. The managers told us we werent allowed in the building. Most of the time, it was only one guy in the parking lot pushing all the carts, there had be be like 300 or so carts, constantly being left outside in the parking lot. If any of you ever worked at a grocery store or a big retail place, you know what I mean. The managers would come outside in packs and smoke cigarettes like fiends, then throw all the butts on the ground in front of the store. Then at the end of the night they would complain about us not keeping the front of the store clean and made us sweep that shit up. Also, on Saturdays, when it is always ridiculously packed, they would call us in the managers office to tell us we werent working hard enough. They talked down us, telling us we were expendable, and they could have more lot attendants in here by the next day. There was this one manager that said he was on "our side" but when his boss complained about all the unavailable carts, he wouldnt defend us at all. We put up with alot of other bullshit, but too much to post here.

What did we do to get back at these bastards? We stole stuff, broke stuff, damaged peoples cars, told customers to go to Costco, told customers the General Manager was a nazi, my coworker took a crap and smeared it on car of the manager that was supposedly on "our side", brought huge bags of grass and trash and dumped it on the side of the store so the trucks couldnt get through and other things

We did all this in one week, and on our final day, Saturday, we waited until all the carts were either unavailable or just sitting in the parking lot, and we got in our cars, and went home. That was THE worst job I ever had and wouldnt recommend it to my worst enemy. I didnt have a job for a whole 8 months, but I made a little money off of the shit I stole from them.
