I work at a convenience store. I am nineteen years old, and have been working there since I was eighteen. My boss has a very high turnover rate. This store has been open for two years, and it has seen more than 12 employees walk out the door and never return. at least 9 of them left unpleasant notes or had huge fights with the store owner (Amir.) One of them even had to get taken away by the cops, because he’d made death threats and refused to leave the building.

What scumbags, laid people off with up to 10 years seniority just before Christmas. Going to consolidate their freight to other storage facilities, work people harder, pay them the same and continue to crap all over them! What happened to me? Go laid off, got called back, worked for 2 days, oops from managers “Sorry, we made a mistake, your laid off again”! After 2 days, coming back and working these shitheads fire us again. Merry *&$*#@ Christmas.
Mid-size corporation in central Texas. I’ll start with the company Christmas party. We were “told” to clock out at 3:30p, forcing us to donate our time and attendance while the ‘boss’ delegated responsibilities in helping with games, food (we each had to bring 2 dishes or desserts) and clean up for 100+ employees. To make sure the worker bees attended, he withheld paychecks until an hour after the party started. The prizes given out were from his OWN pawn shop store (can you say write off?) He did invite a soldier and his family to attend .. oh, and he made sure 2 camera crews were there as well .. to document his ‘giving back’ to the community and his gift-giving generosity.
Difference between this story and some of the others is .. when I clocked out .. I went home. I did not attend the party. My time is MY TIME. I refuse to work for nothing. A selfless act is one thing .. but it should be voluntary .. not mandatory. Let me know what you think of this “boss”.
