Everyone has had plenty of bosses who have discouraged any desire to work.
This happened about 5 years ago during my senior year in high school. I used to work at a restaurant washing dishes. This one Saturday (my day off), they called me in for an afternoon shift because the PM dishwasher called off. So I go in around 4:30 p.m., and to my horror, I walk into the kitchen and see that everything is dirty. Almost nothing is clean. I don’t know how that’s possible. I ask the owner, and he says the AM dishwasher had also called off. They decided they didn’t need anyone until the afternoon shift. I start trying to catch up, and the manager comes in and starts yelling at me to hurry up and asks why there are so many dirty dishes, pots, and pans. I try to explain, but he keeps yelling, so I ignore him. Not even 30 minutes later, he comes back and starts ranting again. After that, I just walked out. © WhalePeople / Reddit
I was hired at a shoe store to take over after the current manager left. The day started, and the district manager came in to talk to me. He said I was “too young” and he wouldn’t even consider hiring me as manager, but I could stay as a minimum wage salesperson. I had left a good job as manager of a sprint store for this and had only left because I was hired to be the store manager.
I told him that wasn’t okay, that I’d been hired as the manager, and if he wouldn’t consider me, then I was going to look elsewhere. He said, “This is what I mean. That immature attitude of ’if I’m not getting my way, I quit’ is why I won’t consider someone so young.” And called me childish for leaving. © TooLazyToBeClever / Reddit
My first outbound market research call center job was in an oversized janitor closet that stank. It had one long folding table with about ten phones and chairs and 3-4 staff walking about. I made a couple of calls, and people were like, “I don’t wanna talk to you,” and I was like, “Oh, okay, bye then.” So the staff was like, “No, no, no, you have to convince them if they say they don’t wanna talk to you.” Then the next call, the housewife just hung up on me, and the staff guy was like, “Call her back, keep calling them back until they say they don’t want to talk to you.” I told them I had to go to the bathroom, then I just left. © johnwalkersbeard / Reddit
Got a job at a cell phone dealer around 2005. I had been working at a supermarket, and a few coworkers had gone on to work at the cell phone stand in-store and were making excellent money. On my first day, I was being trained in one of their stores and found out the way everyone made money was by selling customers these wildly upgraded insurance packages that were optional, but we were supposed to make it sound like they HAD to purchase them to complete their service contract. I couldn’t get down with a job where I would only make decent money if I swindled customers, so I told the guy it wasn’t for me and walked out. © TheSassieCass / Reddit
