The worst way you've left a job

Showing up and my key no longer fits the lock...

I showed them.

Text saying I’m done

Broke my bosses hand with my face. Sumbitch had it coming.

story?

Day 2 working at Robee’s roast beef (now Arby’s) I was 15-16ish. Stoned manager left me there alone to work the grill and everything and I didn’t know what’s up yet. We got busy and count cashier was telling me to hurry up. I told her to go frick herself and walked out, leaving a line of customers.

Two oilfield jobs. I was a roustabout for ODECO back in the late 70's. The crane operator, (Francis Hebert) was a nut. I saved a kid from being crushed by a couple or pallets of mud we were unloading and it was clearly the crane operator's fault. The next day I walked in the toolpusher's office and said I'm done. He didn't like it at all, since so many had been quitting. He told me I was blackballed from the gulf...yeah right. When they lowered me to the boat, I mooned them.

Another time I drug up on a land rig in Mississippi I had a job as a floorhand and the driller and I just did not get along. He wanted one of his baws to have the job. One day he sent to the crown of the derrick to grease the alomites. I sat up there and said frick this. I came down and went to my truck and drove away.

The next month I was back in the gulf working for a service company and my first job was on an ODECO rig with the first toolpusher...HA

Got a job at Lowes in school. Worked in outside lawn and garden. Tolerated it but it sucked. Anyway, showed up one Saturday and a few people had called in sick in near by departments. I ended up with like 3 of the department phones in my pocket and was completely overwhelmed. Operations manager didn't give a shite and wouldn't shift over help. I went to lunch that day and never went back.

Genuinely still regret that decision to this day. That's a fricked up way to leave.

Two days before Christmas, boss called me in his office and told me I was being let go for financial reasons and my position was being eliminated (no severance). He knew I was leaving the next day for Christmas vacation out of town and told me he wanted to get it done before I left vs when I got back. Six years ...

Found out three weeks later they hired a young female to take my position.

Coward stared at his desk the entire time he was letting me go.

This was the first time I really understood what it meant when people say “it doesn’t matter how long and how much money you make for someone, at the end of the day you’re just a number and they really don’t give a shite about you”.

Now I work for a competitor :)
