Re: Have you ever quit a job?

[el_regrs]

Yup. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, I worked in a movie theatre where the workers were not valued (though this may not be a surprise?). They withheld wages from folks during a time where we were limited to paper timesheets, fired people for having medical emergencies, and made a bunch of stupid rules about how the breakroom should look (despite the fact that the workers were the only ones who saw it, and we didn't leave it dirty in any way). They cut back my hours the moment they "gave" me a raise. Did I mention they started conveniently forgetting to give people breaks? The last straw was when one boy quit, tired of being underpaid and yelled at by managers who never really needed a reason to yell at anyone for any reason. It had been going downhill for a while, and I think I just needed that nudge to gtfo.

But... but... that is so illegal?!?
Like everything! I mean, I know the movie industry is harsh, but that is just ridiculous!

Well, no one really cared about what was going on, and they were the only game in town. Being young and in my position, I guess it never occurred to me to do anything about it besides quit. And I won't lie; we weren't exactly innocent either, but some of the punishments seemed out of proportion to the crime. (I will say working there made me learn the value of a dollar store, heh.)

I still see one of the d-bag managers around town once in a blue moon. I'm friendly at best, civil at worst. I don't hold anything against him. Over the years, I changed jobs and put myself through school until I qualified for a job that paid much more than a movie theatre worker on minimum hours for minimum wage. I have great hours, can live on my own if desired, and purchase my own transportation. No one ever yells at me for needing time off for any reason, and I can relocate in a better area for work. Both his life nor his work situation have stagnated since then. I don't envy him.
