I raise you a Burned Down + Owner go totes cray cray during Covid Shutdown.

Same chef used to regularly burn pizzas on my tickets and I’d have to refire my meals to serve when his re-dos were done.

Also belittled me in front of customers over a tostada not being crispy enough one time.

I once left a job for a better position. Around 3 months later the recession kicked off, massive government cuts hit and LOADS of people lost their jobs. I was really really lucky that I was in reliable work.

Three times I have left a job only for the business to close up shortly after.

In high school I worked at a video game store, I worked 40 hours a week. We went through a lot of managers during the year or so I worked there, but at the end we had this manager that was just stealing from everybody’s register. He would give you like $5 to tell you to go buy a couple of burgers in the food court and then would just steal money out of the register using your employee number. We caught wise to it and would count down our registers and then at the end of the day we would call into corporate and tell them how much money we think he stole from our register. All of the cashiers were fired or quit when they saw others getting fired, The manager was promoted, and 2 months later the store was closed for almost 6 months before it got completely rebranded.

When I was in college I worked at a restaurant 7 days a week. I prepped food and washed dishes. When I told my boss I needed to go down to 6 days a week so that I could spend a day helping my mother he decided to close the restaurant down one day a week. When I tell my boss I needed to go down to 5 days from 6 days, he closed the restaurant another day each week. When I finally quit, the restaurant remained open for 4 more months before it was shut down completely.

After college I went to go work at a laboratory. I started as a janitor, talk to myself into maintenance responsibilities and eventually started and managed a CAD/CAM department. When I finally got fed up for getting paid in pocket lint and praise I gave them 30 days notice and was fired 14 days into it. The business closed its doors 90 days later.

Now I’ve just started a new job, I was at my old job for 5 years and was responsible for about 65% of the work on a day-to-day basis. My friend that I got a job there is looking for the exit and when he leaves I don’t think they have any choice but to just turn off the lights and go home.

Isn’t that unlucky? You would probably have gotten severance
