Told my old boss of 4 years to f off when he tried to contact me about coming back
For some context, I worked retail for 4 years, and did a lot more work than I should’ve. When I asked about a promotion they told me “we want you to have the responsibility but not the role”
So I would always work my socks off, but I would get treated poorly. I couldn’t even take my lunch without my boss calling me to get to work (I wouldn’t, but he would always yell at me.)
his idea of being a boss is adding more work so it can stress you out and “make you faster and a better worker.”
All it did was cause people to get breakdowns and quit the job.
My manager was always getting yelled at too and he was great at treating his employees right, but was let go recently.
About a year ago I messed up my back on the job and my boss was making it hard to deal with my situation. Couldn’t even take the time I needed to heal without stressing over my job thanks to my boss.
Well I tried to go back to work but he said no because I’m a liability, and I was then left jobless.
Well since then I managed to get a job I applied for, for YEARS. My old manager was fired and I heard the store has gotten super downhill. I went after work one day to grab something to eat in which he stopped me to ask if I’m still interested in coming back. I looked at him and said “f off, I’m not gonna let myself work for a lousy boss again”
I felt so f-ing good after that, left with the biggest smile on my face. He looked red, I just wanted to share this since It’s the highlight of my year
