My staff are usually very polite and when they’re quitting, they give the courtesy 2 weeks. People re generally pretty happy so we don’t have a toxic workplace. Last week I had a kid work for a day and then he just left without a word in the middle of the shift and I never heard back. I didn’t think he was unhappy or anything but it was just such a weird thing to do. I tried contacting him but he doesn’t answer texts or calls. What a strange way to leave… anyone else experience this?

I had a barback quit on one of our busiest nights of the year. I was livid. Would have never guessed I'd see him again, but ran into him at a concert of all things and he actually approached me and apologized for that night. Turns out he had a close family member pass away and he dropped everything to be with family. You really just never have any idea what others are going through.

I've seen this happen in a couple of times. You never know what people are going through in their personal life. Maybe he had to move last minute or felt embarrassed to quit, or didn't want to let you down.

This has happened to me a few times as well, usually with younger workers. One kid showed up for his first shift, worked hard all the way up until lunch, clocked out for his break and then never showed back up. I called twice and then just moved on. No point trying to chase down people who clearly don't want to be here.

I've seen it happen in temping. People go to lunch and never come back. it's kinda weird but it happens. move forward, don't brood about it.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
