Best Posts in Thread: More of a venting thread for me

So.. as the title says this is going to be more of a ranting thread for me, which is abnormal for me. I don't want people to think this is a cry for attention or help. Trust me I don't like other peoples pity or assistance.

So maybe not many of you know my grandmother died in the month of February. I got to the hospital about five minutes too late. I was scheduled to get off work a few hours earlier but we got busy and unfortunately I wasn't able to take off work. (I had four bosses, Brittany, Jasmine, Christel, and Jon. Jon is the center of this rant) And I went and told my main boss Jon that I'll need to take about five or six days because a recent death in the family. And his response was purely idiotic, he said "well you're supposed to tell us two weeks in advance that you need to take off." The other manager Brittany overheard what he said and she was super pissed at what he said, she dragged him to the back of the store and talked with him, He came back to me and said "Well, you're supposed to say two weeks in advance that you need to take off, but I understand in this situation." So him saying that I'm thinking to myself okay, maybe he heard that I needed a few days off. Nope, the work schedule, that he made, comes out and I'm only off work Monday when I asked for at least five or six days. He said "oh yeah I forgot about that, I'll change it." He changes it and I say thanks. (Btw this happened early February)

On my birthday this year (02/13) I had a car accident. Nothing serious at all. I was delivering pizzas, just doing my job, and this night was suppose to be bad. It was about 28-30 degrees and it started sleeting. I know when you're driving in snow it's stupid to drive anywhere near the speed limit. But I admit I may have been going a little fast (35-40mph) I lost traction therefor losing control of my pickup and I rammed the guard rail. I rammed through the first wooden post in the ground and I completely stopped on the second one. The energy made the back end of my pickup completely lift off the ground, make me look right at the road and slam me back to the ground over the guard rail. I remember call logs and this happened at 7:51pm. My dad just left for work at 6:30 and called me and told me that it's slippery outside and you need to be careful. And me being a normal person that doesn't like being told what to do just blew him off when he told me that. So when I was waiting for my dad to take off work and come to pick me up I called my manager and told him that I wouldn't make it back to the store because I just had an accident. He told me "Well you have to bring that bank" (We call it a bank but it's just a little pouch for extra money for when someone doesn't have exact change, we make it for them) and I told him my dad will not be bringing it back to the store tonight. His response.. "Well Dylan that's stealing from the store and you have to bring it in" And I said I understand the situation but my dad IS not bringing it back in. Again, his response "So I have to risk my $40,000 pickup to get your bank" I was pissed at him saying that so I said yeah and I told him to give me the owners number so I can call them and tell them exactly what happened. He said "I can't give away the owners personal information to anyone that asks for it" I was done with him at that point so I just hung up the phone. My dad took me back to the store and I dropped off my bank and when we left my dad said "Is your little bitch of a boss happy" that kinda made my night.

Next incident, I left my wallet at the tire shop when getting a front end alignment on my pickup about three days after this happened. I called my boss again, Jon, and told him that I'll need to take today off because I don't know where my wallet went and I can't drive without my license. He said "You're 18 you should know how to do all this by now" I said "I'm 18? I wish I was 18 again lol" then I said "No I'm 20 now." and he said "That's even worse you're 20, you should know how to do this by now. I'm 25 and I've own vehicles, invested into stocks, and own a place in Texas that I rent out to people" I said "Okay, I've never done this before and apparently you've done it all. I still need today off so I can figure this out and get it done and I can be in tomorrow" he basically told me that if I don't come into work today that I'm fired.

Next and final incident. This happened very recently, last Saturday actually. Saturday I was working and all of a sudden I was feeling weak and light headed and nauseous all at the same time. So I finished working my shift and go home. I was supposed to work Sunday but I asked the manager Brittany if I could take today, Sunday, off. She said yeah sure, start feeling better. Well I wasn't. I went into the doctors Monday and they tested me for the Flu A and B and then Strep and I tested negative for both. I got a doctors note for Monday and Tuesday off, luckily I was off Wednesday. So my dad takes me to my work and I bring in the doctors note and he asks "so you're just feeling a little sick" that was the first time he said that and not the last. I forget about him because he was making me upset and it wasn't making me any better so I go home and just rest. I go back into the Doctors office Thursday and get tested for Strep and Mono, both results negative. I asked for another doctors note and the doctors were fine with it. I take it into work and he said "So if a trained medical professional that's been doing this for years can't find out what's wrong with you it has to be all in your head." I said a 102 temperature, nausea, fast heart beat, higher blood sugar levels, constant headaches and let alone not eating since much at all since Saturday isn't all in my head (this was Thursday btw) So he texted me an hour or so later saying "I'm going to dock your hours and find someone else more reliable than you" Friday rolls around and I walk into work, I brought my hat and shirt and quit on the spot.

This has many loose ends and many things missing. This story could have been easily two or three times as long.

Things I didn't say. I found out why he acted like that because he's doing heroine. He made two of the other managers quit, one actually just quit tonight. And I'm the only one he treated this way.

Moral of the story, don't let people walk on you, even if they are your manager.
P.S. Sorry this was so long.
