I work for my father in his food truck. ( Tha Flavor Bucket) When I was giving the Teriyaki Lover his tacos, I, as always, said, "Enjoy!" After I said that, he said, " Thanks! You too!" He walked away. I'm still remember that day.

I worked for a solar company run by the most irresponsible, offensive man-child on the planet. He would change rules and employment conditions on a whim, would make promises that he wouldn't keep and generally treated everyone like poo.

Every single person on his sales team was regularly verbally abused, because he thought it was how you "keep people in line." I was the HR manager. My days were a constant stream of employee complaints that I couldn't do anything about because if I reported them, the owner absolutely would retaliate. The owner was a walking lawsuit waiting to happen.

I did wind up filing an abuse complaint against them and I suspect I wasn't the first. My only regret about leaving is that I didn't order them a fork you cake on my way out.

I mean i'm a teen so i'm just going to answer simple, so i worked a part time job at this gas station and the manager there was very inappropriate first he would always try and come up to me and try and grab me or hold me in weird and uncomfortable places i didn't like to be touched in, and a few days past and this kept going on until i finally told someone about it and it was my friend and she said'' if he keeps touching you like that then quit i mean i would to if he was touching me like that'', and so i took her advice and just quit the job and from that day on i never saw him again.😶

A senior who was supposed to be my mentor stole, redo my work exactly the way it is and presented it to higher up as his own.

I made suggestion and was brushed off, then three weeks later they came into conclusion that they needed to do exactly what I was suggested.

It was my best paying job, but I knew I didn't belong there from the first week.

Did my probation successfully (6 months), found new job and quitted a day after my probation appraisal just before my birthday (they have this mundane birthday/celebration culture which I can't stand. To be fair, many people would enjoy socializing and celebrating every single thing. But again, the socializing part to me feel awkward and uncomfortable. Also, we needed to chip in everytime. I'd rather use the money for private celebrations that I care about)

I've had my fair share of bad bosses and co-workers. Honestly though, the worst experiences were the few times that I lost my temper. Remember, it doesn't matter what anyone does to you, it is your responsibility to react appropriately. An angry temper will do you no favors and can damage your reputation. Now don't get me wrong, you shouldn't have to deal with people doing bad things to you but there are better ways to deal with the situation than to have an angry blow up. People NEVER forget that.
