You know how office life usually goes – the coffee breaks, the water cooler chit-chat, and the constant drone of keyboards. But on this particular day, all that routine went out the window. It was like someone hit the office’s self-destruct button, and the fallout was epic.
People were done. Fed up. Had enough. It was a perfect storm of frustration and workplace shenanigans that led folks from all corners of the office to reach a unanimous decision – it was time to pack their bags and hit the road. So, get comfy and settle in because we are about to spill the beans on “The Big Work Meltdown That Had Everyone Packing.” Trust me; you won’t want to miss this wild ride!
I was working for a very large IT company before the tech bubble burst we had a meeting with our “new director and the VP”
They were tired of people complaining about things that should be changed at the job and how they managed people.
So they sat around 200 of us down in our auditorium, and the director said she didn’t want to hear any more complaints on how she was running things and if we didn’t like then there was the door and that there was no way we’d leave such a great job.
Well, there was a mass exodus and probably close to 50 people left within 2 months.
She and the VP were “re-orged” and given 0 reports, they were gone after a round of layoffs happened shortly after.
Worked at a chain pizza place. The manager didn’t approve of how well we cleaned and prepped for the next day. So we all came into a note saying something to the effect of “you are all replaceable” so we all said okay, took off the uniform and left. We didn’t even lock up or close up shop. Just walked off. Phones were ringing for orders, and there were people coming into the dining area but nobody was there working. Once she realized nobody was there she called everyone going nuts telling us to come to work or we’re fired. One person went back and tried to save it. I just reminded her that I was replaceable, and so was the person who signed my check and then hung up. They had to close for about a week or two to replace the staff. The location completely closed and filed bankruptcy less than a year later at least partly due to her leadership. The location is a Verizon store now.
When I was 16, I worked in the concessions stand at a minor league baseball stadium. The minimum wage at the time was $5.15/hr, this job paid $8, and it was always in the evenings so it was perfect work for a high school student. The only bad thing was our management was TERRIBLE. The main manager would throw toddler tantrums about once a shift over stupid b*llsh*t, like not ordering enough of a specific beer (she did the ordering) or running out of pre-cut lemons for tea.
One night the stadium was running a promotion and it was incredibly busy – easily 2-3x the normal volume of customers. We were all working our a**es off handling multiple roles each with absolutely no downtime. Although we all cleaned as we worked, nobody had a chance to do thorough cleaning for the whole shift because of the never-ending horde of hungry baseball fans.
The manager showed up 3-4 hours late per usual and threw the biggest f*cking tantrum ever over the unswept floor. Finally, she announces “Listen up you lazy f*cks! Minimal work gets minimal pay. Everybody is being paid minimum wage tonight because you slobs won’t clean up anything.”
Both of our bartenders and the bar back quit on the spot, which caused a chain reaction. We all took off our aprons and hats to leave. She blocked the exit and was red in the face from screaming, so one of the cooks climbed out of one of the big serving windows where we served customers, so I did the same and most of the staff followed. Bear in mind that this all happened in front of like 200+ customers. Of course, my final paycheck “got lost” so I had to file a wage theft complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission.
It was an optometrist’s office, and I was one of just four employees. The doctor invited another practice to move in and share space with us in our already cramped and disorganized office. We had to do all the work to make room for them, and the doctor never broke from her usual routine to help us with the transition or stayed late as we all did.
Then the new doctor arrived having let all of his staff go, assuming that we would work for him (without being paid by him, the practices weren’t merging in any way). He hired only one person, who was barely out of high school, who had no idea what they were doing. Guess who had to train them? And the doctor never reduced the amount of appointments we took, we had our usual heavy workload all along.
Our patients shared a waiting room with theirs. They were not prompt in taking their patients back, but we were. Their patients threw us dirty looks and sometimes yelled at us for ignoring them. But we were forbidden from saying anything to them about why we ever helped only half the people who came in the door, or why we couldn’t answer their questions and had to redirect them to the least knowledgeable person in the room (the other doctor’s ONE employee.)
The doctor refused point blank to listen to any of our concerns. We all quit, and the practice sold out to one of the eyeglass chains a few months later.
The company consistently outpaced competing firms and found itself emerging as one of the industry-leading agencies. This was also a California tech firm, so shorts, flip-flops, beers at lunch, and getting high on the roof were all rather common. But we were rapidly growing, and the atmosphere/location made us a hot ticket for talent.
Anyway, CFO and CMO cashed out and the CEO decided to totally remodel the company by making it far more corporate. On top of all of this, they implemented unattainable goals and removed our work-from-home policy. The final straw was they removed our rather generous vacation policy and replaced it with “Unlimited Vacation” which was a facade for “you can take as much vacation as you want if we approve it.”
Like 1/4th of the company quit and immediately landed at better jobs. Also, profit tanked.
The owner died and his idiot son took over and decided that the company didn’t make him enough money and started to implement “cost-cutting” measures like turning off the A/C in the building.
Owners retired, they were literally the greatest people, both very sweet, but kept the place running like a well-oiled machine, they took pretty good care of us and their restaurant.
When they left, they gave the restaurant over to their nephew who at the time was a busboy/waiter, kind of standoffish, didn’t really interact with us too much, and was a bit lazy at times, but for the most part, did his sh*t and went home, he seemed okay. Until he got the power of being the owner, he fired four people, including two of the four cooks, and two of the three dishwashers, literally that same day, on a Friday night just before the dinner rush, all because he ‘didn’t like their attitude’.
He refused to allow people to take vacations that they’d already requested and gotten confirmed by the original owners, would change the schedule randomly without telling anyone and then scream at people when they missed a shift or came in late because of it. He’d refuse to replenish the kitchen until we were literally already out of things, then take forever to put in the orders, he showed up randomly and would drink at the bar, for free of course because he was the owner, and then bring in all his buddies to drink with him, together they’d get way out of hand and grab at women and try to start fights.
Within the first month of him being the owner, over half the staff had quit, usually walking out literally in the middle of their shifts, after being screamed at, they’d basically throw down their aprons and tell everyone else that they were so sorry but they couldn’t do it anymore. After the last cook, this big dude who usually kept the kitchen laughing and running at a decent pace, started crying in the middle of his shift and dropped everything he was doing after the boss came and yelled at him for being to slow and making ‘slop’, then walked out the rest of us just bailed along with him. Four months later the place was closed, his aunt and uncle were absolutely furious and devastated that he’d run the business they’d built up for over 30 years into the ground.
I used to work at a McDonald’s, and we had a terrible manager who hated a lot of people working there. Everyone else hated him too, but no one wanted to call him out on his sh*t and quit. I was the first to do it, because I requested 2 weeks off in August of that year, about 3 months in advance (my family likes to plan our summer vacations early on). When August came around he had my schedule set up for all of August off except for those specific 2 weeks. There was no way that he could have misinterpreted my request. When I got my schedule, I stormed into the restaurant, called him out on everything, and then quit on the spot.
About 2 weeks after that, I heard from one of my work friends that 5 other people had enough and quit as well. I kind of felt good to be the first.
The company did a survey of employee happiness. It had super limited answers. We filled it out and tried to explain that, internally, our team was doing well and we were happy but just about everyone had problems with two other employees outside the team who were bullies in important positions.
The company asked us instead what -we- could do better so the bullies don’t bully… Over half the team quit within a month which is unheard of at that company and our team was/is a cornerstone of the entire business.
I work in local Government for an urban county. One of the IT Departments reclassified all their employees as Exempt (a designation designed for political appointments), fired them all (only Exempt employees can be fired without cause), and asked them to submit resumes if they wanted their jobs back. Their goal was to get rid of some employees they felt were dead weight. But it turns out, that the most valued employees, the ones with readily marketable skills in the prime of their careers, just shook their heads and had jobs elsewhere by the end of the week. Furthermore, when you pull a stunt like that, word gets out, and resumes don’t come flooding in. They are still trying to recover.
I was the lead cook in a million-dollar kitchen at a multi-million-dollar high-end restaurant. The executive chef had been there since they opened and worked his way from the bottom to the top in 4 years. That place was his whole life and he was completely dedicated to it. The absentee owners had hired a “do nothing, know nothing” manager. After weeks of complaining, the owners had a meeting with the manager and gave him a week to get on top of his job. The chef went on vacation that week, the manager saw that as an opportunity to buddy up with the owners. A week and 2 rounds of golf later the chef comes back to work to a pink slip. 27/30 employees came in and resigned immediately after.
The guys in the sales department f*cked around all day. They’d literally be in the parking lot drinking beer and racing RC cars. When it came to handling accounts/clients, they frequently gave away free accounts in order to “retain” customers (and make their own sales numbers look good), and somehow they got away with it.
Meanwhile, there were dozens of programmers and database nerds working tirelessly behind the scenes to integrate a bunch of complicated data and make it easy to access via the website.
Yearly holiday announcements come around, and upper management decides to send the entire sales team to Hawaii for an all-expense-paid vacation. When the furious developers asked why they were just taking the sales team, the confused CEO literally said “Well. I mean… I guess we could ask the sales team to pick one person from each department who helped them the most this year and take them too…”
The programmers/engineers/database people were livid and walked out in droves.
Several years ago I worked in a mental health center. We worked primarily with kids. It was time for the center to renew its certification. Instead of keeping up with everything that needed to be done over the course of 5 years, the proper procedures were ignored.
In this couple of months before recertification, the administration made us sit through a ridiculous amount of training on Things that would have been covered in training such as HIPAA laws and identifying child abuse.
Then came our paperwork. Our center encouraged us to do things that aren’t exactly covered by Medicaid or approved through certification. For example, taking kids to the park isn’t allowed, but guess where they instructed us to take these kids so they didn’t disturb the therapists working? I had to go back and edit 5 months’ worth of documents to get rid of the evidence.
The kicker was that bathrooms were supposed to have a log of when it was cleaned. An administrator perfectly forged the signatures of multiple employees. I don’t think they would have gone through that trouble just for a bathroom log. What else were they forging our signatures on?
The potential risk of being charged with Medicaid fraud was too high for me. I quit as did many others.
Canceled all raises and bonuses for everyone except the CEO, his wife (financial and HR), and his son (utterly useless IT) in a year where we have record profits and brought in almost double the clients on top of announcing they aren’t looking to hire more people when we were already overwhelmed.
The good part about it was when the majority of us quit they lost almost every single client shortly afterwards to their competitors and the company is now defunct.
Many years ago in high school, I worked at a movie theater. The place was pretty poorly run from the moment I started there. We never got paid on time and management was basically a bunch of lazy jackasses who sat in the office talking all day and never actually did any managing. It would have been hard for things to have gotten any worse but after a couple of months, they brought in new management who seemed to want to make it their personal mission to run the theater as poorly as possible.
They first decided to implement a new policy requiring all projectionists to wear ties, despite the fact that projectionists are never seen by the public, not to mention that tiny little detail that the projectionists worked around a giant, rapidly spinning objects that a tie could get caught in. Management refused to reconsider the policy and every single projectionist quit as a result.
They then decided that the door people (of which I was one), who were always scheduled seven days a week, would now only be scheduled on the weekends, and refused to reassign any of us to concessions on the weekdays so we wouldn’t lose hours. As a result, almost every single door person quit, including me.
After that, they started imposing impossible cleanliness standards on concessions, things like requiring them to scrape popcorn kernels out of the cracks in the trim behind the popcorn machines. Concessions were there until 5 AM every night trying to meet their standards. Most of the concession people quit as a result.
By my count, the theater went from a staff of about fifty to a staff of about twelve in three weeks. I swung by about a month after I quit and found out that the entire management staff had been fired and replaced yet again by an entirely new one, one who actually seemed to be running the theater properly. My best guess is that the previous management had been told to whip the theater into shape and they were idiots who had no idea how to effectively do that.
Working at a local restaurant that had recently changed owners. Multiple issues came up: difficulty getting off for important things, hiring people to work in the kitchen who were bad at their job but cheap, cheaper ingredients, etc., as well as the owner just kinda sat around and drank while they were not doing much. Things were tense and after a few months, we were really just hanging in there cause we liked each other (the previous owners were a sweet old couple that set a great vibe). I know some others and I were already looking for a job.
Anyway, there was a young mother who waited tables there and really needed the job, and couldn’t afford to be between jobs. One night she got a call that her grandmother had a severe stroke, was unresponsive and was not expected to make it through the night. She asked to get off and start her 3-hour drive to Dallas, the manager said of course but the owner said no. The manager and owner got into a verbal fight in the back, the waitress ended up pleading her case, crying. The manager said that if the owner wouldn’t let her go, he was done. The owner ended up firing them both on the spot. Within the next 15 minutes everyone who hadn’t been recent hire ended up walking out of the building.
Years ago I worked at a chain salon (my last ever I swear). There were about 14 of us plus my boss. Half of us were really good, very passionate about what we do, and all booked with good clientele. Our boss was wonderful, didn’t micromanage, etc. She was a big reason that while it was a chain, it didn’t feel like one.
She got fired. The reason given was that she “cashed a check at work.” She bought the product, paid for it with a check, and added an extra 40$ so she didn’t have to find an ATM before she went to the bar. She had worked for the company for 5 years, had pulled 3 shops into the highest-ranking ones in the district, consistently had shops exceeding their numbers, etc. And just like that, she was fired, and even worse, when I came to work the next day, we weren’t allowed to talk about it. I texted her and she told me what happened.
We didn’t quit at once exactly, but over the next four months, the top stylists, who brought in 70%~ of the revenue, left. We took our clientele with us and all of us went to smaller, private salons. This was several years ago now but I still keep up with them. We’ve all found our niches in hair, make way more money, and are way happier for it, including my old boss. She’s about to buy the salon she works at. If it didn’t happen, I don’t know when I would have left, to discover I prefer barbering/men’s styling over women’s. It was a blessing in disguise at the very least.
I worked for a company that had gone through a restructure, we put so much work into salvaging our company (and jobs). After announcing the “restructure complete!” (Think GWB on an aircraft carrier deck) the CEO hired his wife as the second highest-paid person in the company. She had previously been a nursing assistant and was a complete loser. She was having people with PhD and MBA degrees reporting to her saying things like “This is what a budget looks like.” and my all-time favorite “No, marketing does not necessarily mean TV commercials.” Like, what the f*ck? At the time she was making ten times what I was making and I was doing work she didn’t even remotely understand. It was such a farce.
Half the engineering team and a huge portion of sales simply quit. She was trying to explain why not getting a bonus was, in and of itself, a bonus. The top 3 salespeople simply walked out of the meeting, cleaned their desks and left. I knew then we were screwed and quit a couple of weeks later.
I was a shift manager at IHOP. I managed the overnight shift and the new GM repeatedly disrespected me. I’m home asleep during the day (because ya know I WORK AT NIGHT) he would call me to tell me some stupid sh*t or say I need to come in earlier or ask me to work a double. Or if someone called out and needed emergency help.
Well after MONTHS of mistreatment inside the job… I had a really really bad night. My entire shift was only 3 people total. Me working as a server, Togo, hostess, bagger, dishwasher, and preper for the next shift. 2 cooks that worked on alternative days. Anyway, we had a super super bad night. Way too many customers, we told them 1hr wait and everyone would get super mad just because we told them that. The seats appeared empty yes.. but it’s because we had way too many people.. parties of 6 and 8 all wanting to come in at once. Plus online orders that are ROLLING IN because everyone else is closed. Then people came in and ordered Togo. Literally every customer ever for months has been angry and cussing because it takes too long.
We don’t have anyone on our shift because the GM claims we don’t need the help.
Well, things got so bad that day that I called GM for some help THAT’S HIS JOB D*MN IT! No answer. So I called the AGM. No answer. So I called GM one more time and if he didn’t answer I was gonna do what I’m not allowed to do, and that’s close the doors to all dine-in and Togo and only do the already paid for online orders. Well, he didn’t answer and so that’s what I did. I dealt with customers being pissed we were closed and also did all the duties and even stayed late because I was so beyond behind.
GM rolls in about 10.. I was supposed to leave at 6 guys. But I can’t until another manager comes in. He takes me to the office to “hand over the bank” which is just the drawer to the register. And then he tells me “I can’t have that happen again. Calling me in the middle of the night like that. It’s unacceptable. You are a manager and should be able to problem solve on your own”
I cut him off because I was tired of the b*llsh*t and said “Yeah you are right. I’ll start solving my problem by handing in a formal letter of my 2 weeks’ notice” Then as I stood up to leave “better yet, I’ll just leave now and pretend my 2 weeks ended today. “
My loyal 2 cooks were actually there that day. One stayed with me to make sure I got home safely (I had no vehicle) and the other came in to unload the truck for extra cash. They overheard me say I was leaving and just like that. One cook threw his hat in the trash and said “f*ck it. I’m out too. Disrespectful A-hole ” and the other said “Yeah I can get a better job. I stayed because she was a good manager “
So just like that. You lost your whole overnight staff. To this day I hope he is suffering with customer complaints.
I worked for a marketing agency. They were close to bankruptcy due to bad management and basically the websites I was making were keeping the ship afloat.
The owners were a couple who were completely different to each other. The guy (let’s call him John) was friendly and kind, and the madam (let’s call her Johanna) was moody, and awkwardly bossy.
Sadly, Johanna’s sister passed away, which increased the tension amongst the agency. She got kind of mad and did all kinds of weird things, like taking a “witch” to the office to clear the “Bad Energies”. John said other things happened but he wasn’t going to talk about it. For weeks she was angry at us for some reason, and even took her computer to our workstation to keep an eye on us. She said we weren’t supposed to talk to each other during business hours unless it was strictly work-related small talk.
We all felt uncomfortable, plus we were getting tasks from both of them in complete opposite projects and such. We decided to quit all at once and so we did.
We stopped providing free coffee, and we’re so cheap that we sold our coffee maker. This was in Seattle, so a couple of people bought their own coffee makers to put in their cubes. That tripped the breakers several times so it was very disruptive since our computers would shut down. Management then said no coffee was allowed in the office at all. We lost four very good engineers.
For me it wasn’t what happened, but what didn’t happen.
We were making only about $2 above minimum wage (around $11) to do tech support for a web-based startup. A college degree was required for the position so we all had large amounts to pay off in student loans, but weren’t really making enough to do so and still pay for rent, groceries, and other life expenses. Three of us (there were four in addition to me) had other part-time jobs in addition to this full-time, 40-hour/week position because we couldn’t survive otherwise. Every other position in the company was being paid quite a bit more so we didn’t exactly feel valued.
We got sick of this and were talking with each other about how abysmal the pay was in addition to less than glamorous (and often frustrating) work. We also didn’t get any PTO or bonuses and there was pretty little momentum for moving up in the company. So at our next team meeting, we asked our supervisor if we could discuss our pay grade and the opportunity for a raise. We had all started at the same time, during a very busy time for the company as it was undergoing a platform transition, and there were no higher members on our team aside from our supervisor; we felt like we had all put in good work and deserved equal recognition.
Our supervisor flipped out at us, saying that we should never talk about our compensation with any coworkers and that we could potentially get a raise in a year or so but that our inability to pay expenses wasn’t the company’s concern. So of all us found other jobs and bounced within the next two months, leaving them to start over with a brand new staff during the busiest season of the year.
I worked in the corporate headquarters of a large national retailer. After 20 years in business, the company was sold to an arrogant billionaire who put his son in charge (his first job after completing his MBA). The son decided to relocate headquarters 500 miles away, close to his daddy’s headquarters. He gave us 30 days’ notice to move with no moving compensation or lose our jobs.
Out of 300 employees, one moved.
I had already been looking for a job, the writing was on the wall. I accepted a new position the day after the announcement and gave two weeks’ notice. My boss went ballistic, and said ‘What are we supposed to do!? No one can fill your job here and we won’t have anyone new until we move. You’re not a team player!’
The company decided that it would keep frequent flyer and hotel/rental car loyalty points earned on business travel for itself rather than allowing employees to claim them on their personal accounts.
It was an office with a lot of travel. Most employees were away from home Monday-Friday and only came home on weekends. Pretty much every week involved travel. Allowing employees to keep their frequent flyers and loyalty points was considered a benefit of the job for years.
The frequent flyer points earned allowed our family to take vacations for practically nothing. We went to Hawaii first class on Delta, stayed at a five-star beach resort and had a rental car for the whole week – all for free. We just had to pay for food and various outings. The year after, it was Europe. The year after it was Costa Rica…
When the company issued the memo stating that all employees would be required to use corporate rewards and frequent flyer points cards so that the company could get all the free stuff, most of the people in the office actually handed in resignation letters.
My mom used to work for a college. She started there as a secretary when the college was just starting out and gradually moved up until she was running the whole business department. Without her knowing, the college ran interviews and hired a woman to be her superior. They never asked my mom to apply for the position and never mentioned it to her until the day this woman is introduced to her, and my mom’s boss informed my mom she was supposed to train this woman to be her boss for the department.
My mom was clearly hurt and upset, but she needed her job and just couldn’t quit, so she sucked it up and trained this woman while putting on her best face and being cordial. All the rest of the people who worked under my mom in the department could not stand this woman and were incredibly upset by the situation, as well.
One morning, my mom walks through the doors, and the boss of the college is waiting for her. He brings her into his office and fires her.
Within the month, the rest of the department all quit, as well, leaving them to hire and train all new people right before the fall semester started.
Six months later, the woman they hired to replace my mom quit, and they had the balls to call my mom and ask her back. You can guess where she told them to shove it.
3rd generation syndrome – Granddad starts his own company and works hard. Dad sees his dad working hard and takes over with the understanding of what it took and who helped. The. The son is born into money and wants to feel important.
Boss used to have a “company lunch” once a month. He would ask for separate checks, collect the individual checks and the money from each of us, and then go pay the bill. All was good until someone found out he was pocketing our money and paying the bill with his corporate card. Motherf*cker was stealing from his employees. When it was reported Corporate did nothing so all ten of his technical staff quit. We all have serious technical skills and got new jobs within days. Don’t know what happened to “Bob” and don’t really care.
I worked at a coffee shop which also had other stuff than just coffee. Now if something was still good but not quite good enough to sell we would share it during lunch breaks. The management decided we were no longer allowed to eat it and we should just “throw it away.” One month we decided to not follow the new policy. They gave us a pay cut that month. We quit after that month. We now work in the same building at a different shop they do allow us to consume the leftovers that aren’t good enough for sale.
Worked at a board game cafe, and poor management amongst other things was pushing all the staff to quit but we didn’t because we liked working together.
Next to the coffee machine we had a couple of sticky notes with doodles we had all drawn, they were very cute and gave a personal touch that made us feel part of the business.
The final straw was when out of the blue our bosses tore these down and chucked them in the bin.
In the next following days, every single staff member quit including ones like myself who had been with the business since its inception.
One of my colleagues wasn’t feeling well at all so went to the staff room to sit down. Someone decided to call an ambulance while our manager decided to berate her about stopping in the middle of her shift. I recall her calling her a “fat lazy cow” at one point. She had been working in that store for nearly a decade and everyone got on really well with her so we were all furious. Turned out she’d had a heart attack. Around 6 people quit and I guess someone wrote a formal complaint about her because she lost her job there.
Our small business’s owner died and his bratty daughter moved in expecting to take over, as she had been bragging about on Facebook ever since he developed cancer three years prior.
Now, having had this mindset, what do you think she did for those 3 years before taking over?
A. Go to college to learn about how our particular kind of business is run
B. Go to college to learn about business, period
C. Start hanging around our firm to learn how our business works
D. Start working at our firm to learn how our business works
E. Start working at ANY business similar to ours to learn the basic ropes
F. Keep asking her dad to invest in her “self-made business” selling Young Living essential oils while using the rest of her trust fund to taste test all the mojitos at every beach bar in the inhabited world.
Guess which one she picked?
When she arrived (after a long court case battling over the will, which stated the business was to go to his younger son who had actually worked there for 15 years), she claimed that all our job contracts were under her daddy’s signature and therefore were now null and void. She then immediately fired everyone who made anything over minimum wage, then offered them back their old jobs at minimum wage. Some of those people had been working there for 20+ years.
40 people laughed and walked out en masse. The few who stayed said she burned sage and wafted it through the hallways and offices, claiming she was “getting rid of all the negative energy”.
Apparently, our overtime was paid out to the store manager instead of to us. We all worked a solid 6+ extra hours each week.
The manager tried to justify it because she “put in way more work” than the rest of it. I handed in my resignation the same day. She chewed me out in front of my coworkers, so instead of having it be a two-week notice I just straight up left.
Some 5 or 6 people quit that day, too.
When the upper management caught wind of how many people quit in one day, they investigated and fired the store manager. Some people, not me, came back after that. The shop’s never been better and all my old coworkers are much happier.
My husband and I worked for an umbrella company. He for one section and I for another. The boss’s daughter used an event to hide massive embezzlement and art theft. The fall person was me as my signature was on a lot of paperwork. The paperwork I could prove I hadn’t signed as the dates matched me being out of the country and the video proved that I while I could dye my hair black, it would be unlikely I could have lost 150lbs and changed my skin colour.
I was fired for ‘not being supportive’ and my husband was threatened with termination due to ‘insubordination”. Word got around the company and the entire division refused to work the bosses daughters wedding. They were told to work it for free or find a new job. They all agreed to work on it and then spent the interim looking for the work.
Nobody worked for her wedding and the whole department quit on two consecutive days. The daughter had to move to another country to avoid fraud charges.
