I quit my job today. The look on my manager's face was priceless.
My manager pulled me aside a few days ago, asking why I hadn't finished an 'online course' that was required of us.
For context, I've been working at this warehouse for about 10 months, and I'm paid just slightly above minimum wage.
I told him that no one had given me time during work hours to complete it, so he shamelessly said, 'Can't you find two hours at home to do it?'
I replied: 'I don't work for free.'
His response was: 'That doesn't show you have commitment to the job.'
My blood boiled. I reminded him of all the 14-hour shifts I've pulled, and how I came in on my days off specifically to cover for the constant staff shortages they have.
I looked him straight in the eye and said: 'You get what you pay for.'
So his genius suggestion was: 'If you don't like the salary, find another job.'
So I told him: 'Okay. What's the notice period? I'm still in my one-year probationary period, right?'
Honestly, it was the most pathetic and funny situation I've ever seen. The man started to get flustered, fiddling with the papers on his desk, and began to stutter like any spineless coward.
Suddenly, I found him offering to pay me for the training time and wanting to 'review my salary again.'
I looked at him and said: 'Consider this my immediate resignation,' and walked right past him and out the door.
My phone rang about 7 times and I didn't answer. That arrogant jerk must be losing his mind.
This feeling is amazing. If you're in a place where they really need you, and you have a couple of months' savings to get by, never let anyone treat you badly. Just leave them.
