Story meet my ex- boss the incompetent and toxic lead who drove employees to quit the first story is I can see why her daughter kicked her out and you'll see why we did the same yesterday I came into work in desperate need of a quiet shift after a stressful day I didn't get what I needed I was about 45 minutes into my shift and a few mouthfuls into a nice hot dinner when the phone rang I answered and was met with the voice of an Old Woman Who sounded frightened she told me she couldn't get her door to lock she felt unsafe being on the backside of the building and also the faucet wasn't working okay no problem sorry about that I'd be happy to switch her to a different room so maintenance can address those issues tomorrow she seemed a little confused at the notion of switching to another room I had to explain several times that this would involve her coming to the desk to get keys and then going to a different room and staying there she also asked several times what her current room number was and what her new room number was going to be I was left with the impression that she was perhaps Bec scile or was crazy or possibly both I switched her in the system to the new room blocking the old one and made keys for the new room then went back to my dinner a couple minutes later the phone rang again and it was today's subject now in a panic because the door she couldn't lock moments ago was now somehow stuck shut I assured her this was easily fixed and set my Fork down and headed over to her room with my master key what do you know it was stuck shut I tried several times to get it open and should have had no issu as my key overrides deadbolts the little light turned blue and I could hear the lock were but it wouldn't open I called the room and apologized to the woman and said it might take a few minutes but I was handling it I attempted to calm her and failed she dramatically threatened to break the window to escape and I assured her this would not be necessary and asked her to just sit on the bed and wait while I tried to fix the door she did not listen and was on the other side of the door fussing with it while I tried various different keys to unlock it in a terrible turn of events the hard key for the lock didn't fit for some reason I guess the lock had been changed out at some point but not the key which is fun also the maintenance man and owner was too drunk to come help which is his right but horrible timing I had to call the GM who was farther away and less likely to know how to fix it I called the woman again to update her on the situation and pointlessly attempt to calm her she informed me she'd called the police I told her that wasn't necessary and there wasn't likely to be anything they could do to help she said she wanted their help anyway way and asked what her room number was I told it to her again as all this was going on I still had my normal desk duties to do and plenty of people arriving so I'm trying to do that when the phone rings I'm fully expecting it to be the old lady again when I was pleasantly surprised by the police dispatch I never thought I'd write that sentence they're calling because the old lady called them and her story wasn't quite making sense she said we had locked her in the room and we were refusing to even tell her the room number I explained what was actually going on and and said it wouldn't be an issue if they wanted to send an officer over to talk to the woman but it likely wouldn't resolve anything and agonizing 20 minutes after this began the GM finally arrived and she managed to get the door open within a few minutes I returned to the desk because I didn't want to deal with the lady anymore and this was like 5:30 so there was a good chance that folks would be coming to check in also I wanted to finish my now completely cold dinner it wasn't long before I could hear cater Walling in the distance coming from the old woman's room the GM opened the back door to the Lobby carrying the woman's stuff and we shared a look of Silent pain the old lady inched along behind her with a walker making the most dramatic noises of pain imaginable she decided she needed to take a break and sat down on the couch and loudly began talking about how she'd been in a car wreck and broke her back in three places the GM took her things to the room and came back for her the old woman repeated her story about her broken back and the GM said yes I know you mentioned it earlier the woman made all the noise again while making her way to R room the GM cut back through the lobby on her way back to the old room we're a motel style property and the two rooms were on opposite faces of the building and said the old lady forgot her chips I followed her back there so I could fill her in on all she'd missed and show her how all the hard key didn't work now that we weren't busy trying to rescue the lady the empty chip bag was in the trash and we checked every inch of the rest of the room for anything the lady might have forgotten before we returned to the desk we continued our chat and she told me the lady had been a pain since check-in they' had to show her how to find a room use the keys use the vending machine Etc my GM and I have worked together for nearly 5 years so we're good friends and have a good rapport we're just kind of laughing off what had happened as the phone rings and we share a glance because we both know D well who it is I answer and sure enough it's our friend she says she forgot her candy bar in the room I tell her she didn't we checked the whole room and she hadn't left anything in there then she tells me she hasn't eaten all day and really needs a candy bar I direct her to where the vending machines are she asked me to help her and I told her no I wasn't available to do that it should not surprise you to learn that as a motel we're an economy brand and limited service now I'm a reasonably nice person and don't mind helping a guest out here and there with things that aren't specifically within my job description but playing fetch for this cook Was A Bridge Too Far defeated she said okay and hung up the GM and I resumed our conversation and again the phone rang after a few minutes I answer answered and the old woman told me she forgot her candy bar in the old room I reminded her that she didn't and reminded her of where vending was she reminded me that she hadn't eaten all day and just needed a candy bar then she decided she didn't like her room she felt isolated being down at the end of the building and she went to a gang high school and knew gangs would Target an old woman like her she wanted a room closer to the desk the GM walked past me and went to the desk computer to add the old woman to the DNR while I explained I didn't have anything closer to the desk those rooms were all occupied the only other rooms I had were on the second floor and we don't have an elevator so that ruled that out she reminded me that she wanted to be closer to the office and I said I'm sorry we don't have anything closer to the desk tonight she asked if she could move in the morning and I said maybe if the rooms came available she was very disappointed but seemed to accept that answer until a few minutes later when she called again and I'm pretty sure I actually yelled oh my God before answering she asked again about moving closer to the desk and I reminded her that those rooms were all occupied mind you this is three rooms between her and the desk trip on your way out the door and you're there at that point she decided she wanted the second floor after all and I basically told her no in the politest way possible we were already down two rooms because of her and there was no way I was dealing with whatever her being upstairs entailed she accepted that she'd have to wait until morning to move rooms at this point I was just so effing done but as you may have noticed this story isn't the GM Escape at point and I went back to my laptop and popped my earbuds back in to get back to the very important work I was doing in the Mojave Wasteland only 5 minutes passed when the lobby door opened and one of our regulars who's staying in one of the rooms between the old lady and the desk came in with the door open I could hear her outside making a fuss even over the sound of big iron or Johnny Guitar but I pretended I didn't because I didn't want to deal with it I texted the work group chat that if she was still there when I came in the next day I was going to turn around and walk back to my car and leave the regular came back through a couple minutes later and I heard that lady again he came back again a few minutes after that and I didn't hear her but the regular made a beine for the desk say that old lady down in 100 isn't all there is she so what was he'd stepped out of his room for a smoke when he heard her calling out for help from her doorway he ran over only for her to just immediately hand him her debit card and asked him to get her a candy bar he pointed out to her what a bad idea it is to just hand strangers her debit card and she said he looked trustworthy fortunately she was right and he went to get her the candy bar she so desperately needed he and I shot the sh for a bit about how she's crazy and how dramatic she was about her ailments I tell him all about what had happened with the door and how she even called the police yeah you might be wondering about that dropped thread as the regular and I were chatting the police officer finally arrived he came up to the desk looking like Tucker crawson I asked if he was there about the old lady locked in the room and he was I explained what actually happened and directed him to a room so he could speak to her himself he went off and talked to her for maybe 2 minutes before leaving with a wave to me every time the phone rang for the rest of the night I had a mini heart attack but she didn't bother me again I guess all she really needed was a candy bar and a confused cop and like whomst Among Us am I right so that was her first night the next day she started off her morning by bothering another one of our regulars for a ride the girl working morning shift had been the one to check the woman in the first place and had gotten the tea she texted the owner as the GM was off and told him she wasn't about to deal with two more days of that he was hung over and had intended to take the day off but after my text and her call he knew we couldn't have this lady around bothering folks and peeving off staff she claimed her daughter had kicked her out because of her cat allergies but it was pretty clear that was a lie he came in and called her room saying he was the owner and informed her because of complaints she was going to have to leave she demanded help and said she was going to report the hotel to the Air Force and the Attorney General he called her a cab when the cab arrived she demanded help getting her and her things into the cab he got her bags into the cab but didn't want to touch her to help her into the cab he had a feeling she wanted to get H on the property so she could sue us the cab driver was remarkably patient through all this but also would not touch her when it became clear he had no other choice the owner finally helped the old woman into the cab she thanked him by melodramatically falling into the footwell of the back seat the whole while she's fake moaning and groaning and demanding to be taken to the Attorney General's office the cab driver just instructed them to shut the door a little confused he asked if he was supposed to take her to the attorney general and they said no just take her to Motel 8 the second story is people more often than not do not quit because of their job they quit because of their boss I just quit because of a boss let's call him Nimrod Nimrod a good madeup name he wasn't even the boss or a manager he was some twit who had zero knowledge of what was going on or what to do but somehow got himself in the lead position position that position put him directly over me Nimrod would assign impossible tasks that could not be done then demand them to be done in by the end of the day Nimrod restricted me to 40 hours and expected 60 hours worth of work in the realm of impossible tasks he assigned me to fix issues that Professional Engineers had not solved in two decades and wanted the solution by the end of the day in the realm of impossible tasks he assigned me to fix a prototype machine that Professional Engineers abandoned as it was not a realistic machine for production it adds serious engineering flaws Nimrod wanted the machine up and running by the end of the day Nimrod would falsify paperwork for our customers Amazon Walmart Home Depot and the federal government he laughs and makes fun of the disabled people HR for some strange reason would do nothing about it despite at least 10 to 12 people all reporting the same thing Nimrod has a type of woman he likes all the one that matched told him off and reported him to HR HR has done nothing about him despite several reports Nimrod lied on his resume claiming to be a professional engineer when his actual degree is an Associates in Psychology HR knows about it Nimrod is a single person responsible for 100% of the damage to our Factory machines and responsible for 90% of the returns for bad product because of his falsification of paperwork Nimrod doesn't even know what Kaizen Six Sigma lean manufacturing error tracing or basic practices for the direction of manufacturing defects Nimrod told an actual engineer with a bachelor's degree 30 years of experience and 30 or so patents that had drunker off the street had more engineering knowledge than a building of Engineers Nimrod uttered the phrase the engineering tolerances are a liberal fallacy to a bunch of engineers in the above mentioned building full of Engineers as is justification for breaking every single machine and production on a weekly basis Nimrod is singly person reasonable for the mass quitting of Engineers technicians and production floor people Nimrod harassed me to the point I hated working with him he threatened my job threat threatened to report me held me accountable for his screw-ups threatened me for not covering up his screw-ups HR refuses to do anything about him because nimrod's boss is on extended emergency leave I just left HR did nothing nimrod's Behavior was intolerable the company will not be able to replace me as easily
