Title: Horrible bosses
Body:
The worst boss I ever had was definitely my high school summer job boss. She ran a small local restaurant and she only hired high schoolers because she knew we all had low standards and didn't realize we could quit when someone treated us terribly. The food was terrible, imo, but it was cheap and we got a lot of regulars who just liked to have somewhere to hang out. This boss, we'll call her <PERSON>, was so mercurial. Sometimes you'd come in and you'd be her favorite person. One week she was training a new girl and said she should do exactly what I was doing (being friendly but efficient, remembering regular's names). 329
And then she gave me a raise on the spot! Then literally the next week, I slightly messed up a customer's order and <PERSON> started yelling at me, right in front of the customer. "Are you stupid or do you not care?? I don't understand how someone could fuck something this simple up." The customer looked horrified and started to say it was ok and she didn't even care that much but <PERSON> would. Not. Stop. I had to go cry in the backroom and <PERSON> got snarky about me taking too long of a break. And the worst part is, I never even quit! The restaurant closed one week when I was out of town and I just got a text from another waitress saying <PERSON> said our last checks would be in the mail. 329
