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

    Once during a union drive, the bosses gathered my whole shift into the break room and gave us the big "unions are bad" talk. Regional manager was in the room. He came up and talked about how he didn't like how pro-union people were talking behind management's back because "we're all a team here." He said he wanted more "open communication," not for us to be "conspiring."

    So when the bosses asked if anyone had any questions, I asked if they would invite the union to the shop to make their own pitch. You want more open communication, right? So why not let us openly communicate with the union?

    He got flustered, said no and kind of just flopped around when someone else asked him "why not?"

    Cue another one of the bosses, red and mad, shouting out from the back of the room that unions were just rackets that wanted to take our paycheck. Meeting ended at that point.

    I was fired a week later lol.
