Enough
1. Having Your Chocolate and Eating It Too
I worked at an independent chocolate shop that sold various flavors of truffles, brownies, and drinks. We also had non-dairy options, vegan options, and nut free options available.
I loved my job, but this one awful woman would always come in and cause trouble. She was so entitled and picky that she made me want to scream.
One day, after she'd reamed me out, she made me go get the manager so she could complain. Apparently, it was ridiculous that we did not have a “dairy free, nut free, sugar-free, vegan” option of chocolate.
Luckily, the owner hated this woman just as much as I did. He'd had enough of her and didn't mind losing a customer this annoying so he literally just laughed and said, “We do have one, it's called water.”
2. Thawed and Ready to Go
I used to work as a refrigeration tech and had a job at the only employer in my county. They treated me terribly, cutting pay and benefits, giving us the bare essentials to do our jobs, and then complaining when it took us longer.
Then another company opened up an office and started hiring a few of us. They offered me a job as a lead tech with a bunch of benefits.
These folks and I clicked and I knew we would get along. My old employer came to my house and begged me on a literal bended knee not to quit. They made this speech about how they would give me whatever I wanted.
I looked this man who had treated me so badly and just said, "no, now get out of my house."
3. Independence Day
I had a lawyer draw up an intent-to-sue-for-harassment after our new boss required me to work on the Fourth of July. There were usually 100-150 people in office, but that particular day I was the only one in the office.
That was the final straw for me after six months of harassment. Result: $40,000 settlement. I still smile when I think of it.
