Boss Tells Most Valuable Employee To Quit, Digs Their Own Grave

We all have to eventually enter into the phase where we start making money and in order to do that we must find a job. The market is so saturated these days that even the best of talents finds it very hard to land a good job that satisfies their physiological and financial needs. Jobs these days are too demanding in terms of the work and very less rewarding in terms of the pay. And that actually demotivates the youth because they don’t see a hopeful future ahead. But trust me, there are good organizations out there as well, a little hard to fetch, but they exist and they acknowledge the talent and don’t abuse it.

This manager believed they could get a single employee to do both of their tasks for free, so they urged them to quit, only to realize they might need them later. The boss went so far as to try to hide the fact that they had been sacked. Horrible employers have a habit of piling responsibilities on staff they don’t intend to pay, and in certain rare circumstances, an ungrateful lunatic boss receives immediate payback. Scroll down below to read the full story.

1. OP started working at a pizza place after graduating from high school as he did not want to sit idle

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance - Posted by u/cranky_throw_away 17 hours ago "Fine then just quit!" Okay! oc M So when I was freshly out of high school I hadnt decided on what I wanted to do with my life, so I got a job at a pizza place near where I lived. I've always been the type of person who would rather work than sit at home and I didn't/don't have a ton of friends to hang out with.

2. Firstly the workload was less and OP was called to make deliveries once or twice a week but that later changed into hourly work and then registered work with more training

Text - They started out having me just making the food deliveries once or twice a week, but that quickly turned into them calling me in daily about an hour after they opened because the managers/owners didn't want to make the deliveries and they were the only ones working front of house. Like I mentioned previously, I didn't mind coming in to work and would always say that it wasn't a problem. About two weeks into me working at the pizza shop the owners INSISTED that I learn register because the

3. They kept saying that they would make OP the manager and almost took all the tasks from him, but one day when he asked him why they haven’t promoted him yet they made awful replies 

Text - Every once in awhile the owners would say they want to make me a manager so they can leave whenever they want. Great, I thought. As time went on I would work anywhere between 60-80 hours PER WEEK because other employees would call out or not show, and the owners didn't want to stick around to deal with it. They even trusted me to hire a server, and a delivery driver/cashier. About 8 months into working there, running myself ragged for them and never getting so much as a thank you for ever

4. The next two weeks OP did not do any extra tasks and that caused one manager to always be present on duty, that pissed them off and they asked why he was not functioning to which replied he was forbade to do the managerial tasks

Text - Alright, that's how you want to play it? Then consider it done. For the next 2 weeks I didn't do anything aside from what they hired me to do, make deliveries and only on my scheduled days. This went on for about two days and really upset the owners because now at least one of them had to be there at all times to make sure everything else was getting done. Eventually boss 1 called me into his back office to "talk". Boss 1: Cranky what has gotten into you?! Me: What do you mean? Boss 1: Yo

5. When he was against questioned to not being responsible, he said that he was simply doing his job and then the boss asked him to quit to which he said fine 

Text - be acting like one, so I stopped. Boss 1: Stop being a child Cranky, you know your responsibilities here and you need to do your job! Me: I AM doing my job, and only my job. If you want to make me a manager I'll be happy to do those things. Boss 1: You really think I'm going to make you a manager after this! Me: If I'm not a manager then I won't do a managers job. Boss 1: Fine then just quit. You need to get over yourself. Me: Okay, I quit. As of right now I'm done. Boss 1: FINE! So, I le
