What is the worst you've ever been focked over by your job/boss/employer?

Still an Admin trainee

When I was 20, I did some roofing work in the middle of the summer in Louisiana.
Being on that unbearably hot roof was what I think hell must be like
The a-hole never paid me

Had a boss that thought his work ethics were for everyone. Like forgetting the clock and just work into the night and sleep on a couch.

Forget your personal life and kids. Oh it’s 6:00 pm? Get back to work. Don’t have activities outside work. And he was a devout Catholic that hoodwinked the rest of the real world.

Yea screw that. I never got quite that bad, but I used to voluntarily put in extra hours nearly every week when I was younger and naive. It took a bit, but I learned eventually that all that does is spike your anxiety. You don't really get recognition for it, and sometimes it almost comes to be expected.

My offtime is now my time unless the building is literally burning down, some other all hands emergency, or the off hours work is planned well in advance.

Got canned after three months over some extremely minute shite that didn’t make any sense. Two months later it did though when it turns out the CEO was caught embezzling shite and went to jail.

I’d also like to thank Jim Cramer when he announced the month before I got canned that this company was the stock to buy, and per always, he tanked the stock.

One of the best things that’s ever happened to me to be honest.

Worked on a $3 million project for a school in the Mobile area and the owner of my company decided he was entitled to a one third share of my commission because the VP of the school and he were buddies and had done business together at a few other places before.

Shitty motherfricker he was...

How about working for a very large company for 15 years, being passed over for leading a team that was based on 3 continents (for someone that was not qualified whatsoever) and then being fired (along with 8 others) for not bending the knee and doing terrible things like pointing out that the company was purchasing product that was produced with slave labor (per an exposé in the L.A. Times)? We were instructed to go to a meeting at a holiday inn by the airport. Mine was at 8:30am. After I was fired I went back to the office to beat the hell out of the prick that got the position I mentioned earlier. They had a security team on site. So I was robbed of that moment.

Had a menial job in college and almost got fired for leaving the door unlocked overnight. Surveillance video showed the culprit was actually a member of the executive team and the whole matter was abruptly dropped.

I was at a Fortune 500, 66% of my direct reports (25% of the whole company) were laid off and then I was put on a PIP because my team was “under performing”

I opted to take the severance and separation instead of completing the PIP.
