I quit after two days and boss wasn’t happy. Am I in the wrong?
So…in my previous post I explained my new job. Trained for two days, boss was moody and impolite the entirety of it, I decided the job wasn’t a good fit.
Did not give him any of my bank info or paperwork, he only had my name and number. Didn’t even work long enough to learn coworkers names.
I quit over the phone a few hours before my shift, told him I appreciated the opportunity and effort to train me but the job isn’t a good fit and I’m resigning.
He interrupted me to basically say that he understaffed and me not coming in would be a huge fuck up, he also started to say “you can’t just start a job and say you don’t like it and leave”….
I trained TWO DAYS. It’s a minimum wage part time job. I hung up on him.
I know that this was a very unprofessional way to go about quitting and I’ve never left a job with bad blood before.
He was genuinely an a-hole to me every time we interacted, so why do I feel guilty ? For example: he slammed dishes, berated me and others, cussed all the time, would get angry I didn’t know something and slam a dish and walk away and say “fking fix it”.
He’s a fully grown man and owned a bakery. I did nothing to warrant any verbal insults. I was merely being trained. Am I an a-hole for quitting without respect?
Netizens’ comments
- Naw. You don’t owe any job anything and you especially don’t owe respect to someone who doesn’t deserve it.
- Well, if he wasn’t happy with you he’d have no qualms firing you after two days so…
- I would’ve told him point blank what you have explained on here. If he wants to act out the way he has then he should expect for people to consistently quit. He needs to take a long look in the mirror. If I’m constantly losing people, as a manager it’s up to me to try to understand why.
- Boss: “You can’t just start a job and say you don’t like it and leave”.
OP: But yea, I can, I just did it. Is the fabric of reality going to collapse?
