    Considering Sending This Response

    Text message screenshot showing a worker giving a late resignation notice with petty elegance in a work walkout.

    It's currently past 11 here. I've been so sick I've only gotten out of bed twice, not even well enough to go to the Walgreens across from my apartment to buy a COVID test. Since sending this, my manager has sent me the contact numbers of 3 staff who I know are as worn out of our manager as I am. I make minimum wage as a Senior Rep at GameStop.

    My Last Job Threatened To Fire Me When I Only Had 4 Shifts Left, So I Saved Them The Trouble

    Screenshot of a worker’s notice explaining their decision to walk out, illustrating workers walking out with petty elegance.

    We were down to 4 employees at a company where a full staff would have been 9-12, I was the most senior employee and I had only been there 6 months. The manager and regional manager continued to push for shorter service times per customer while also increasing the number of tasks that had to be completed per customer and expecting a literal 100% accuracy rate. After I was written up and reminded I could still be fired even though I had given my 2 weeks I decided me finishing those days was a waste od everyone's time.
