I walked out on a job when a supervisor couldn’t handle that I knew the job better than her so she would fine anything to nitpick. She decided to complain about how I typed up my daily logs and how they were not being written in specific boxes and that if a box wasn’t used on the spreadsheet I shouldn’t delete it. Even though it made no sense to keep the empty boxes because the point was to be informative but concise and extra the empty boxes were just taking up space and plus it looks nicer. This was after she was annoyed that I told her the correct way to process refunds and processing certain payments without screwing with someone’s bank account and confusing the guests.
I told her she was being petty and she kept saying I need to follow rules. Rules that she just randomly made up on the spot. How dare I delete an empty unused text box on a document that could easily be added if needed.
Then she kept saying there was other things I do wrong and then I asked her to name whatever it was but she just named the one time I was unable to make it to a meeting. Then she had the nerve to say no one likes me there and that everyone talks about me. I worked with a bunch of people who were ten years younger than me and they never worked in the industry before. I was older and had more experience but chose to work part time while I was finishing my degree. Never had any intentions of wanting her job or wanting to move up so I don’t know what her deal was.
She was super smug and she was being hardheaded so I told her she can finish the shift on her own as she clearly knows how to do everything and I’m doing everything wrong and walked out.
I let management know the details and then spoke to them in person. They asked me to come back because they liked my work ethic and that I am experienced but I already got another job and told them I don’t want to work on a team where I am being disrespected.
Then a month later the manager reached out to me and said they have an entirely new staff and wanted me back. It felt nice they still wanted me and finally saw how useless that team was. I also heard from another manager that the supervisor I clashed with was struggling and in over her head and was failing in her duties. HA!
