[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just so stupid to make a scene at work no matter what. You never know which of your colleagues might be in a position to hire you for a job you want down the road, and anyone who witnesses you losing it in such a self-destructive manner is going to hesitate to work with you again. It doesn’t matter how bad the manager is or how much they “deserved it.” What the manager does or doesn’t do doesn’t reflect on you. Only what YOU do about it reflects on you. And you chose to do something that only hurts you and didn’t hurt the manager at all. [/quote]

OP here. I didn't make a scene at work. This was all done via text message. The manager hurt me as well with the abuse I put up with. I presumably hurt her; otherwise, people wouldn't make a big deal about calling someone a fata**. I usually don't resort to name-calling, but I will say it felt good. You have no idea how many weekends I put up with bullying. After I resigned, I emailed HR with proof she messed with my time card and clocked me out for hours I was working. That's illegal and could get her fired, and only after I stopped working there did I feel comfortable reporting that. It goes to show how weak and controlled people feel in these jobs. This happened for several paychecks, and I could and should report it to the labor department in my state. People are going about the right way to quit, but remember, this is an at-will job. I guarantee they would have been even nastier if I had given two weeks. I probably won't do this again because I know the signs of a bad workplace. I am grateful I have help from my parents and an internship I have been doing for two years. It turned into a work-from-home internship. It's paid, and I do that once a week. None of my friends who have done service jobs in college have used those jobs as a reference. [/quote]

1) when you text your boss childish insults, especially if your boss sucks, you can assume lots of other people will see them. It’s the same as if you had done it in a room full of coworkers.

2) you don’t have to give two weeks notice, you just have to quit without name calling. A text would be fine.

3) if it “feels good” to hurt your boss and you want her fired, you really shot yourself in the foot with the insulting texts. Whoever is in charge is not going to take your word on the time sheets if they know you sent those texts. Even if you have other evidence, it complicates things for the boss and the likelihood is they’ll try to do what they can to make you and the problem go away. [/quote]

op here. you are way to involved in this. it's a vent post. i don't care if my coworkers know what happened. i doubt she's going to go around telling them i called her a fata*** because that would embarrass her. she was very toxic and everyone is scared of her. i told a few coworkers what happened and they were happy i stood up for myself. if i lose the unpaid labor case it's not the end of the world. it's a few hours. i do know she has done it with other coworkers. next time she may thin twice before she breaks the law and takes away someones pay when they were working.
