Won’t Sit, Kneel, Or Stand For This
(I have been working at a tool warehouse for about two months and am hating it. My boss constantly shouts and criticizes me for everything, He has just asked me to sort a large tray of screwdriver heads into a small filing cabinet that is, max, two feet off the ground. I am kneeling.)
Boss: “[My Name]! What the f*** are you doing! You can’t sit on the floor in front of customers. Get the f*** up!”
(I get up and begin sorting whilst bending over.)
Boss: “What the f*** are you doing now! Did you not learn anything in health and safety? You can’t bend like that!”
Me: “So, what am I to do if I can’t sit kneel or bend?”
Boss: “I don’t care. Just do it. Pick it up if you have to.”
(The cabinet weighs a ton and I can’t pick it up, but I try nonetheless.)
Boss: “Are you f****** stupid! Don’t pick that up. It’ll cripple you!”
Me: “So don’t pick up, don’t sit, don’t kneel, don’t stand… What do I do?”
Boss: “F****** kill yourself, please. It’ll do me a favour!”
(The whole room goes silent and looks.)
Me: “Fine, then.”
(I pick up the tray which contains literally thousands of heads all sorted according to size and throw it over the back of my head, covering the floor in them.)
Me: “I quit.”
