Could involve quitting a job with flair, walking out of an interview, or working around a dumbass boss/coworker during a Zoom meeting.
If anything just make it a "general work stories" thread

I worked in IT for a state government a few jobs back. It ruled because it was union.
One time my dipshit manager decided to put all his people into a on-call rotation without telling us. Then my superior told me I could opt out and literally everyone on my team had done it already.
I called up my manager and told him that unless he wanted to have a discussion about compensating me for being on-call, to remove me from the list.
He started trying to guilt me about how I was the only one from my agency on the list, and I told him to pound sand and hung up lol
Shortly after I started getting messages from co-workers in that office asking what I told him because he was pissed off at me. Eat shit dude
Nice. I work in IT for a state government, and we are forbidden by law from joining a union.
how the fuck is that a thing?
Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
State law, and state employees are not covered by Federal labor laws.
That is... evil. I'm not surprised.
The usual reason here in my state has to do with the position having access to privileged information which would compromise bargaining. In other words, it's too hard for the employer to lie to you.
That said in most states IT can often still affiliate, just not with the same union as everyone else at the worksite. There's usually some sort of appeals process that depends on the state board of labor.
Maybe they shouldn't try to fuck you over then. Sounds like a great way to ensure things get leaked anyway
