Inappropriate Workplace
“Recently, I was working at a concert. The management at this site was trash and never actually gave us any orders. Well, when me and another guard let a girl in, the other supervisor, there laughed and called us lemons. Before the supervisor could say anything, I said, ‘A lemon is a car that doesn’t work. He’s saying that we’re bad at our jobs. He’s saying that because blaming us for him being a bad leader is easier than admitting he didn’t do his job correctly and helping us be better.’ Oh, things got real quiet after that…”

“He said he’d tell the home office that I was fired. I said, ‘Yeah, ok, see you tomorrow.’ See, what he didn’t know is that the home office loves me. I’m the single most reliable guy they have. I show up hours early to a job, am always willing to stay late if needed, and usually pick up last-minute shifts…Don’t know if he ever did call the office because no one ever said a thing to me about it. He scowled when he saw me the next day and didn’t say a word to me. So I’m gonna assume that the office didn’t believe him when he called in.”
