I Quit My Job

About last year I decided on taking a one year break from school because I didn't really know what I wanted to do anymore, Let's just say I was completely lost.

I didn't want to stay home and do nothing either so I started working as a waitress at this Pizza place.

It was my first time working as a waitress so the first few days were not easy but I got used to it, I didn't like it but again I got used to it.

Now let's talk about my Boss, my boss seemed really nice at first but after a few months he really started working on my nerves. I mean who likes they're boss? but this was different this man wasn't professional, he didn't know what he was doing most of the time but got mad when we made mistakes and at last he was such an abuser, he acted like we were robots.

Quitting was something I wanted to do a long time ago but I really needed the money and its kinda hard to find a job out here.

So yesterday I was preparing for the day and my Colleague was moping the floor and out of nowhere my boss asked if I could clean the restrooms, I said No, I won't clean the restrooms. So he asked Why not? and I answered, Because that's not my Job. (My Colleagues do clean restrooms but I don't because it wasn't written in the contract) He didn't say anything and I continued on doing my job.

Later at the end of my shift he called me into his office and told me that I didn't clean the toilets. I told him again that I won't be cleaning the toilets. He said either you will clean toilets or I will get fired and added that he will give me some time to think about it. I am a very consistent person so I told him again that I won't clean the toilets.

He told me that he will let me leave when he finds someone to fill in for me and I was not about to get fired, I asked for my check and told him that I won't be coming anymore.

Then get used to been upset with a boss/manager ......
We all have issues with people, can be co-workers too.
That is life, you will get upset and you will either hang onto been upset or to let it go and move on.

@SoFine: Hun' I don't hang onto anything, Growing up in the Netherlands I've learned that you can say No if you don't want to do something and that you should know your rights ;) when I applied for the Job he didn't tell me that I had to clean bathrooms so he can't force me but he still wanted to force me. so what was next? him forcing me to take off my clothes because he pays me?

Damn, that sucks. My coworkers aren't the brightest but I do help them out every now and then, even though it's not my job.

Should of let him fire you and claim unemployment.

Well no getting fired could cause her not to get unemployment. My question is how long have you been working there and have your colleague;s had to clean the bathrooms? And I think they still owe you some pay.
JaDanny · 26-30, F
I live on small island and we have this thing called Onderstand that helps you when you're unemployed but you can't really do much. I rather work lol :P

@JaDanny: So find work get out there and look. Do you live at home? Well did your boss have a boss above him maybe talk to him saying you liked your job but I was asked to do something that other workers did not have to do and he threatened me to do it or I will be let go . So I quit

Bosses can be such jerks some times

I understand that bosses can be annoying but don't abuse your power, and this is exactly what this guy was doing.
