Multiple Employees All Quit At Once At Your Job - What Happend? (Reddit Stories r/AskReddit)

what happened at your work which caused multiple people to all quit at once I was bartending on the side to augment the crap pay I get as a helicopter flight instructor worked there for two years and I was never late nor had any disciplinary trouble well one day I had a cross-country flight run longer than it should have because I had some maintenance issues I knew I would be late so I called and talked to my supervisor to give him a heads-up by the time I made it to work I was only 20 minutes late well the owners 23 year old son managed the place and informed me that his new policy was that I would have to surrender half of my tips for the night as punishment for being late I told him that I didn't think that was very fair especially since I was only 20 minutes late for a five-hour shift and I'd never once been late and I'd called ahead he literally said tough crap don't be late I told him to go Frick himself and walked out when I told my co-workers what happened for other people quit right on the spot because they'd had enough father dudes power tripping boss don't flick with people's money gee I wonder where that tip money would have gone the boss went off on a tirade on me for something that wasn't my fault and I got him to scream people like you were expendable pieces in this company and I can replace you tomorrow if I wanted to 80% of the engineers quit the next day simply didn't show up including me from what I know the entire project folded because my now ex boss couldn't find people to replace us because no one wanted to do the kind of work he was looking for at the salary he was paying cancelled all raises and bonuses for everyone except the CEO his wife financial and HR and his son utterly useless IT in a year where we have record profits and brought an almost double the clients on top of announcing they aren't looking to hire more people when we were already overwhelmed good part about it was when the majority of us quit they lost almost every single client shortly afterwards to their competitors and the company is now defunct this feels really good to read they decided after six years it was time to do a drug test even lost the CEO in the gray idea the CEO reports to the Board of Directors the board wanted to get rid of the CEO for cause everyone else was collateral many years ago in high school I worked at a movie theater the place was pretty poorly run from the moment I started there we never got paid on time and management was basically a bunch of lazy jackasses who sat in the office talking all day and never actually did any managing it would have been hard for things to have gotten any worse but after a couple of months they brought in new management who seemed to want to make it their personal mission to run the theater as poorly as possible they first decided to implement a new policy requiring all projectionists to wear ties despite the fact that projectionists are never seen by the public not to mention that tiny little detail that the projectionists worked around giant rapidly spinning objects that at I could get caught in management refused to reconsider the policy and every single projectionists quit as a result they then decided that the door people of which I was one who were always scheduled seven days a week would now only be scheduled on the weekends and refused to reassign any others to concessions on the weekdays so we wouldn't lose hours as a result almost every single door person quit including me after that they started imposing impossible cleanliness standards on concessions things like requiring them to scrape popcorn kernals out of the cracks in the trim behind the popcorn machines concessions was there until 5:00 a.m. every night trying to meet their standards most of the concession people quit as a result by my count the theater went from a staff of about fifty to a staff of about twelve in three weeks I swung by about a month after I quit and found out that in town management staff had been fired and replaced yet again by an entirely new one ones who actually seemed to be running the theater properly my best guess is that the previous management had been told to whip the theater into shape and there were idiots who had no idea how to effectively do that all they were there simply to cuss staff to be the bad guys now the new managers come in hire a bunch of people but fewer than 30 and look like winners to the 12 people that stayed maybe some times I get suspicious word slipped out that the whole accounting department was being replaced so they all resigned all at once when I was 16 I worked in the concession stand at a minor-league baseball stadium minimum wage at the time was five dollars and fifteen cents HR this job paid eight dollars and it was always in the evenings so it was perfect work for a high school student the only bad thing was our management was terrible the main manager would throw toddler tantrums about once a shit over stupid balls like not ordering enough father specific beer she did the ordering or running out of precut lemons for tea one night the stadium was running a promotion and it was incredibly busy easily 2 - 3 X the normal volume of customers we were all working our asses off handling multiple roles each with absolutely no downtime although we all cleaned as we works nobody had a chance to do thorough cleaning for the whole shift because of the never-ending horde of hungry baseball fans the manager showed up three four hours late per usual and throws the biggest freaking tantrum ever over the unswept floor but finally she announces listen up you lazy freaks minimal work gets minimal pay everybody is being paid minimum wage tonight because you slobs won't clean up anything both of our bartenders and the barback quit on the spot which caused the chain reaction we all took off our aprons and hats to leave she blocked the exit and was red in the face from screaming so one of the cooks climbed out of one of the big serving windows where we served customers so I did the same and most of the staff followed bear in mind that this all happened in front of like 200 plus customers of course my final paycheck got lost so I had to file a wage theft complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission company changed from 5-8 hours shifts to a 12-hour shift rotation I worked at a factory after they changed from a rate hour rotation to a 12-hour rotation for most people the extra time off in the schedule was better than working fewer hours at a time for some though their jobs went from 9-5 nf2 the 12-hour rotation that included nights they all quit Oh freaking boy I worked at Buffalo Wild Wings for a few years as a line cook two different stores same frickin pay it was the type of work where you ask for a raise and they scoff and say yeah me too anyways I had been pretty dead set on quitting sooner or later our kitchen was very small most people ended up closing 4-5 days a week with doubles on the weekends while still attending school full-time as it was a college town on Super Bowl frickin Sunday a useless co-worker who ducked out in the bathroom most the shift finally stops showing and in response the managerial staff delegated closing to my pal Jay dude was a freaking delight to be around hands down the best co-worker ever Jay had told them that due to being a full-time student he no longer wanted to be first in last out 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. 1 a.m. on the weekends they basically told him to go Frick himself and that they don't have any more shifts for him immediately me and one other cook walked to the office and quit on the spot Buffalo Wild Wings lost 4 cooks on Super Bowl Sunday leaving them with 7 full-time students on the schedule it was a managerial crap show I was hired by the new owners to replace the existing manager I was under the impression that he was moving on to another job somewhere so after about four days I asked him where he's headed and if he's excited he just looks blankly at me and says I'm not going anywhere I'm just training you as the assistant manager right the look I gave him must have been a great tip off because he got up and walked into one of the new owners offices after about 30 seconds they were screaming at each other then he just storms out of the office grabs his stuff give me the finger and leaves over the next few days I'm trying to calm things with the khloe's they're not faulting me but now have a very bad taste in their mouths about the new ownership over about two 7-10 day time period my team shrank from 15 people down to three i hobbled along with that the best I could while we tried to hire new people but the new owners were offering so little weekend trouble finding people after three months or so of that I started to get fed up and overwhelmed and when the owners started to get on me about missed deadlines I had had it we were still only at five people two of which were brand-new and still training they didn't allow me to refuse work or push deadlines out they expected the same output as a 15 person team so after my third day in a row of being the rated for missing a deadline that was impossible to make I quit worked at a Wendy's and one of the regional managers started running a store because they couldn't wouldn't find new managers to replace the old ones well anyways this guy practically ran the place into the ground before he started running the store most everyone liked working there as it was a good environment a few months after a couple of people quit because of him and one day I roll in at 9:00 to help open the store and he comes out to my car as soon as I park I was 15 minutes early and usually just sat in my car until 9:00 and tells me hey I need to start early because the three openers just quit on me we managed to get the store open and had a number of people from other stores help run the place until the people from the next shift came in a couple days later I hear the full story of what happened from a co-worker the regional manager is supposed to be at the store at 7:00 or so and the openers 30 minutes later he didn't actually show up until 8:30 so when the openers already Piatt being at work really early and not being on the clock saw the regional manager Rowland and knew it was gonna be an awful shift all decided that they were done with him and just quit right there but so at least six people quit because of him by the time I left the place probably more left after me I did landscape construction the cheap art owner kept taking bigger and bigger projects while never hiring more help we were all overwhelmed stressed and anxious as heck one of our foremen quit and I followed suit a few days later two more guys quit the next day he was down to three guys for the obscene amount of work he wanted to do of course everything gets way behind schedule but he's convinced it's not his fault at all he went out of business less than a year later I was working for a very large IT company before the tech bubble burst we had a meeting with our new director and the VP they were tired of people complaining about things that should be changed at the job and how they managed people so they sat around 200 of us down in our auditorium and the director said she didn't want to hear any more complaints on how she was running things and if we didn't like them there was the door and that there was no way we'd leave such a great job well there was a mass exodus and probably close to 50 people left within two months she and the VP were a orde and given zero reports they were gone after a round of layoffs happened shortly after I thought you were gonna say that had happened on the spot like she said in a rhetorical way if you don't like it then there's a door and then to her shock the entire auditorium stands up and files out I'm gonna pretend that's what happened because it's funnier they laid off half the company with no warning this included a gentleman who was less than a year from retirement and had been there for 35 plus years the company was shocked when half the remaining people abandon ship shortly thereafter at one of my old jobs new management took over and she was just awful she stripped me of a promotion that the previous manager gave me that I worked my ass off for put trainees on a loan during a holiday just a whole bunch of crap like five of us got together after the final straw and quit together same thing happened at my old job my sister took my job because I moved away and she needed one she told me that the new manager was useless she would give herself weeks off at a time the trucks would never be unloaded on time and she would overwork everyone else my sister quit with everyone else when they quit so to shop owner who lived in another state hired some butthole to come revamp the shop I had been managing for three years at this point and he just expected me to teach him how to do my job so he could replace me that guy had no clue how to run a shop plus the owner had been embezzling money for her coke habit and had blamed the longest-standing artist at the shop for lost revenue accused him of stealing I did the books no one was stealing she was nuts anyway all the artists and I mutinied and left at the same time Frick then
