        Have you ever heard the adage “If someone is an asshole, they’re an asshole, if everyone is an asshole, you’re the asshole”. Its sort of like that

          Did I say they were being assholes in general, or that they did asshole things in specific?

          Some examples:

          AC breaking in the middle of summer, causing the store to be over 100F and refusing to even call the repairman for 2 days. Left on the spot when offered an interview at a different place when the manager saw our conditions.

          Being told I was to get a promotion only to have it taken away a week later AFTER my replacement for my current role has been hired due to petty office drama bullshit (some other manager didn’t like me and whined to the CEO, his brother). Was offered a worse replacement temp job as a pity, walked instead.

          I’ve told this one on Lemmy before I think, might have been a diff acct tho: boss with anger management issues earlier this year got red in the face and yelled at me for not emptying a trash can that did not exist. When pressed on the issue he just got madder and in my face. CO workers confirmed via text that no trash can in the area described had any trash at all in it. I just got in my car and left

          You’ll notice the running theme here is that something us done to me that is unreasonable. Most places I’ve worked love me right up until I don’t take being fucked over. Then suddenly they “don’t know why I’m angry” and am “making a stupid decision” (said by a job I’d replaced literally later that afternoon lol)

            NGL, I had you pegged as entirely plausible from the start. People try on bullshit and mostly do it more in disadvantageous situations.
