I quit my job

[Null]

So I've realized that I've been a dick all day around the forum and figure I might as well give a reason and vent at the same time.
Just a heads up, there is no epic ending to this. I didn't punch anybody out or cuss out my boss. I just simply quit.


So I went into work today tired as fuck and sick, so the day already started out rather shity. As soon as I entered the building an employee came up to me, complaining that their tools had come up missing. So I made my way back to the office and mentioned it to my boss, whom aptly replied as if it were all my fault, despite having just come back from vacation. This pissed me off quite a bit because for the past few weeks he has turned my every word around, but I let it slid.

He proceeded to ask me to hand out checks, because he had to go serve food for the party. I wasn't sure what the party was for but I didn't inquire further. I shall get back to that later though. I went into personnel and started handing out checks. This again pissed me off because I have been working in this business for three and a half years now. And as I was handing out checks I noticed people getting paid more then me that I hired in and trained last month. Meanwhile, my check isn't enough to pay for my medication that I have to pick up tomorrow.

After I handed out most the checks I got some time to get up and I went into the break room to get some food from the party...only issue was, all the fucking food was ate. I went and asked my boss if he saved me any and he told me that I should've come in sooner. At this point I was about to blow because he was the fucking reason I hadn't been in sooner.

Anyway, I asked him what the party was for and he told me it was because he got a bonus today. Apparently every three months he gets a bonus, something like 10% of the stores earnings. Which isn't fucking fare because I'm the one that does most the work because he is always off traveling around the states for meetings. I then ask him how much he received and he told me that for the last three months he got a bonus of $76,000. I do most of the fucking work and he gets paid more in one day then I do in one year.

So I fucking stormed the place. It pisses me off because I've been at that job for so long and I don't see myself getting a better job any time soon...especially with this shitty economy. But I let a bad day and a bad attitude get the best of me. Now I've gotta go job searching. >_>

You could have just asked to change the topic title, It's not hard to do . Killed your other two threads though.

[Null]

Ha, thanks yeah I changed it. Didn't realize I posted others.

[Katoke]

Quit your job because your boss who runs the place gets a bonus of $76,000 ? Seems kind of silly for you to do, especially in these times. If I were you I'd call them back and ask for my job back and explain I had a shitty day.

Also, what kind of work do you do? "Tools" ? Construction?

[Diamicles]

Sounds like you work(ed) in retail, which is the obvious problem.

Retail jobs are shit unless you're a manager. Use this opportunity to get a better job.

[Cochise]

Perfect day to be a fool.

Edit: Or you can go back and say April Fool's

[Andarvi]

Retail? What kind of job?

[Null]

I work at a Sam's Club, which is an extension of Wal-Mart but we sell in bulk. And the point of him getting paid is, say he gets 76k every three months. Add that together for the year, he is getting around 304k in bonuses + like 200k. So he is getting half a mil and he is NOT running the place, which is my point. He is in the store two maybe three days out of the week. And when he is there, he doesn't know what the fuck he is doing and the place goes to shit.

[Sol-Blackguy]

Dude, you're fucked. I've been out of the job for the past 6 months. On top of that, HR has been giving me the run around with taking me out of the system so I can collect unemployment.

Cool story.


Sounds like your old boss was a lazy fuckhead anyways. Paychecks should be in envelops, he should be handing them out, he shouldnt ahve started the party without you, or you should have waited till after the party to hand out checks. Did you speak to someone in HR before you quit? Good luck finding a new job.

[BaneTheBrawler]

if i ever get a job, when i quit it im going to say "WORK IS DA POOP! NO MORE!"

[Tyche]

If I remember the company you work for correctly, 10% of the stores earnings in 3 months would be much much more than $76,000. I don't think any one person would get a 10% profit margin bonus either...I could be wrong, but beings the company you work for is absolutely huge and I'm assuming he's a store manager and not a regional manager of hundreds of stores, I'd say he's a liar. Does he drive a aston martin to work? I mean hell, with bonuses and base pay, it'd seem he makes 400k+ a year.

Our paychecks come flat out as the check, since they have to sign for it anyway. And since I am a manager it's my job to hand it out. He is to lazy to do so anyway. And it really wouldn't have worked out well if I waited to hand them out, since on play day we have hundreds of employees come in on their day off just to get paid. And if they don't get a check as soon as they get in you have to listen to so many complaints.

[Diamicles]

Yeah wal-mart and sam's managers don't make that much, I know this from the 3 years I spent there....he probably gets 1%, if that much. Maybe you misunderstood him and it put his yearly salary at 76k after the bonuses?

I don't think the CEO of the Contract Pharmaceutical Lab I work at makes that much in bonuses in one year, FWIW.

Its our revenue, since we've just added on to our building, our bonuses were cut for construction + all the shoppers that stopped coming when we were a mess.

And yeah, the guy just bought a $800,000 house mid year last year.

And it would be laughable for 76 to be his yearly earnings, as I myself almost make that.

[Hushigoshi]

This just means you have more time to post in the FoD threads now :3

[Kyo]

You make almost 76k a year and you quit, with this economy? Nigga your fucking crazy. There are people who do 10 times much as work and get paid a third of that, that would love to have that job... i'll throw this up to having a bad day, I'd call and get my job back...

[Tyche]

Hold on, when you say Revenue, do you mean revenue, or net income/profit margins. I can't imagine they pay one person 10% of revenue when I can't imagine their profit margin (especially at a Sam's Club) being that damn high. The 10% just seems absurdly high to me.

[BRP]

I am always here for you Null. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on.

[Tekki]

I know they get paid a pretty solid amount. My mother handled the accounts of some of the more weathly locally and based on what she used to tell me, that actually sounds pretty close to what upper management got paid at the walmart and sams club where we used to live. The wal mart manager drove a jaguar.
