Shift work can be pretty challenging.

You think you can have time off for something exciting, but then it gets taken away, often without a reason or because of someone’s screw-up.

See how this employee got back at his manager for removing the approval for his time off.

Want me to create the employee schedule when I know I’m getting fired? You got it!

My new general manager rejected my vacation time and stated that he didn’t have enough managers available to cover the shifts.

I argued that the trip was already booked, but he wasn’t hearing any of it.

He knew that resistance was futile.

I liked my job and didn’t want to leave but there was no way I was going to miss this trip.

I tried everything to get him to approve the time off but he scheduled me to work that week anyway. He said if I didn’t work, I’d be fired. I told him I was going.

But he also knew that resistance can be fun!

I liked my coworkers and didn’t want to screw anyone over by having shifts that needed covered so I got them all covered a few days before I left.

Then I scheduled the 8 Ashleys and 6 Michaels working there to work at the same time.

When I picked up my last check, another shift manager confirmed that it was as glorious as i had imagined.

Here is what people are saying.

Please tell me there were t-shirts.

People like this don’t stop being like this unless they’re made to. So I’d be tempted to report it.

It’s a power trip.

Maybe to make people associate that change with this new manager? It’s weird, but people care about this stuff.

My sister married an “Ashley” and I was born in the ’80s. It really is like this.

Enjoy scrambling, tyrant.
