My Boss Asked for a Double Shift on a National Holiday, So I Quit and Watched Him Serve Tables Instead! 😂🍔
It's a super important national holiday, and I was all geared up for a day of fun, family, and food (my favorite F-words, by the way, if you include three missing one 😉). But my boss, whom I shall lovingly call "Mr Crazy," had other plans for me.
Just when I thought I could have a guilt-free day off, Crazypants decided to drop the bombshell. He insisted that I should work a double shift at our lovely restaurant or kiss my job goodbye. Oh, the nerve!
Now, I'm a foodie with priorities, and family time on a national holiday ranks way higher than serving plates of fries. But instead of flat-out refusing, I got hit by a brilliant idea - malicious compliance in action!
I put on my best poker face and told Mr. <PERSON>, "Alrighty then, I'll do that double shift, no problemo!" He seemed smug, probably thinking he had me cornered. 201
But he wasn't ready for the punchline.
With a wink and a grin, I dropped the bombshell of my own, "I quit! Have fun finding someone else on such short notice, dude!" 🎉🎉
Oh, the look on his face! It was like he'd seen a ghost doing the Macarena. Priceless! 😂
But wait, it gets even better. As I sauntered out of that restaurant, free as a bird, I couldn't resist taking a peek from outside the window. And lo and behold, there was the boss, sporting an apron, and frantically serving tables like his life depended on it!
I may have lost a job that day, but I gained a front-row seat to the best comedy show in town. Watching my boss hustle tables made my holiday ten times better!
Now, I can't help but wonder if he learned his lesson. Maybe, just maybe, he realized that employees are humans too, not just burger-flipping robots.
So, here's a toast to saying "adios" to the insanity and "hello" to laughter and freedom! Remember, sometimes, a pinch of malicious compliance is all it takes to turn a dreadful situation into a delightful spectacle. Cheers! 🍻😄 406
