Starting a new job can be overwhelming, but not every inconvenience is a workplace hazard.

So when a newly hired manufacturing worker quit after developing a single forehead pimple and blamed it on “chemical exposure,” his supervisor was left stunned.

You’ll want to keep reading for this one.

Coworker resigned after getting a Pimple.

We hired a new guy last month to work on our manufacturing line.

The job description included working with machinery in a temperature- and humidity-controlled space.

The machinery needed to be cleaned with ethanol.

That was the extent to which he would be involved with chemical solvents.

But before long, the new hire came up with a pretty unbelievable excuse for quitting.

After training the guy for a month, he sent me a text one morning citing health issues due to using chemicals.

The health issue was that he got a pimple on his forehead.

He said he never grew any pimples at all.

Therefore, it had to be because he was exposed to chemicals during work, and he couldn’t work with us any longer.

Now that’s a new one!

What did Reddit think of this amusing story?

Some employees always seem to have something going on.

Maybe the real problem here is a lack of adequate skincare habits.

This commenter doubts a pimple is the real reason this guy walked away from the job.

What this guy really needs is a better attitude.

All things considered, this guy probably just wanted a reason to get the heck out of that place!

Some jobs just aren’t a good fit.
