Workplace horror stories told by disgruntled employees

Manager Not Owner

I was an installer for a cabinetry shop. I would install the cabinets, then come back to load up and go home. My girlfriend, who was at the time pregnant, would wait for me as I got off my car. One day, I was a little early to work. I finished my job and then proceeded clocking out.

“Oh no! We need you to be in the shop, building cabinets.” I said that my pregnant girlfriend was in the car without AC and I was leaving because I had finished my work. She said she owned me between 7:30am and 5pm, and she didn’t care who was waiting. I told her that she owned nothing and left.
