Guy Who Didn't Work at Walmart Fired by Walmart Manager

This random dude wearing a blue shirt had a run-in with a manager who was eager to fire someone she didn't even recognize. This one's kind of the opposite of this chef who was hired by a law firm just to foil the security guard. Employees of huge retail chains have to put up with some strange problems at work, like this guy who got hired and through a series of mistakes, never did anything but still stayed employed for months.

Text - O r/IDontWorkHereLady - Posted by u/mfstevenson1 12 hours ago I got fired from walmart and never worked there Obligatory on mobile, sorry about any formatting issues! About a year ago, I worked selling solar panel systems. This job required me to wear khakis and a blue polo when I was meeting customers. One particular day, after meeting with a homeowner, I had to stop by my local walmart to get more pens and a notepad for my work bag.

2.

Text - I pretty consistently got asked if I worked there by other customers, and I would help if I knew what they were after, but I always told them that I didnt work there, and they were always kind. So this fateful day, I grabbed my pens and paper and checked out in the self checkout section. As I was leaving, I heard someone say behind me "And just WHERE do you think you're going?" Now, a little about me...I try to mind my own business as much as possible, and dont like to get wrapped up in o

Text - Roughly 30 feet from my car I hear again "Hey you! STOP!" I do turn around at that one, because that's typically what you say to a thief. An employee who can only be described as a Karen is marching towards me, 8 different kinds of pissed off. She starts reaming into me about how I'm abandoning my shift, and I'm not supposed to get off for another 3 hours. I'm standing there bewildered because I genuinely have no clue what shes talking about, and I try to let her know I dont work there, b

Text - phoenixwaller 1.1k points · 12 hours ago LOL I would TOTALLY have been a bitch at that point, turned the tables and demanded to speak to HER manager. VeryVeryTexan 209 points · 10 hours ago Yeah, there was probably some poor guy about to be fired, with no idea why. 1 phoenixwaller 135 points · 10 hours ago Who knows. But good lord, what a nightmare of a person to have as a coworker. If she's like that with everybody it's no wonder she thinks people are literally walking off the job

Text - clevercosmos 101 points · 9 hours ago If she had the power to "fire" someone (even if they don't work there) that means she's some kind of supervisor or manager. How shitty of a manager are you that you don't even know who your employees are. You'd think she'd at least know their faces, if not their fucking names

Text - MrWhiskeyDick 333 points · 12 hours ago Don't feel bad OP. Before this Coronavirus thing happened I used to call out sick to places I didn't even work at. I've been fired by a dozen retailers I never even worked at. mfstevenson1 116 points · 12 hours ago You are my god damn hero

Karen Demands Stranger Work Shift For Store They Don't Work At

Nothing quite like getting a call from an angry Karen who you've never crossed paths with, who proceeds to bombard you with a request to turn up to work a shift for a store that you simply don't work for. Seriously, Karen. Pull it together and leave the good people of this world that are just going about their daily business alone. For another solid tale of a Karen misunderstanding check out this story about a Karen assuming that a customer worked at the liquor store she was at. Absolutely absurd and discouragingly clueless.

Company Won't Replace One Computer, Wastes Thousands of Dollars

There are few companies where management actually knows what's going on. This person had a nearly unusable computer that doubled as a server, and since no one wanted to actually do anything about it, the company felt the pain for the next long while. Weird how some stuff just slips through the cracks. In an opposite but similar vein, here's a guy who improved company efficiency but had that disbanded by management. For an IT triumph, here's a time when management illegally banned overtime pay but IT got it all back.

Text - Posted by u/themcp 15 hours ago 2 45 34 8 4 You won't pay $100 for a new hard drive? Okay, enjoy paying $22k for my time to deal with the problem. oc L I had a job where I had a computer which was, incidentally, also the web server for a very important internal web application. I thought this was really stupid that it wasn't in a server room being managed by IT, but for some weird reason they wouldn't do it. I didn't use this application or have anything to do with it, but it took up a la

2.

Text - This application was apparently something developed by my department before I joined the company, and everyone involved with it was no longer there, and nobody really knew anything about how it worked other than that this machine had to be running and signed in and it wasn't developed in our normal system and wasn't in our code repository. By the end of my time with the company, they'd had such turnover that I was literally the only person in the department who knew it was even there. I w

3.

Text - It quickly got to the point that I had to call IT to tell them my PC was becoming unusable due to disk space and could they please do something about it, and suggested that because of this application they might want to take this PC into management and give me a different one. I thought they would do something like replace the computer (identical would be fine as long as it didn't have this application on it) or give it a larger internal disk or maybe even just attach an external disk (I

4.

Text - it'd get bad, I'd remove what I could and start a defragment, and the machine would become too slow for me to use for about 24 hours during which time I could do no work... this happened about once a week, so it took about 1/5 of my time. (Not counting time spent looking for stuff to delete.) I kept telling manglement this was happening, and they kept telling me to shut up and deal with it, but at least when they wanted me to do stuff and it was "I can't, my computer is busy clearing disk

5.

Text - So, because IT was too lazy to do anything and manglement was too lazy to go to bat for me and the company was unwilling to spend $100 on an external hard drive, they got to spend over $22,000 a year on salary for me to sit around and wait for the machine to make some space so I could do my work. (That wasn't my salary. That was the portion of my salary that they were wasting on this problem. Not counting the value of the time of everyone else that had to do my work while I couldn't.)

6.

Text - Oh, and it was getting to the point that I wouldn't be able to deal with it at all (there wasn't anything left to delete and defragging wasn't reclaiming any more space and the company's internal software took up more and more space every day and I estimated I had about a week left before it became fully unusable), when I had a heart attack and a stroke and never went back. I occasionally think (with, admittedly, some glee) of the panic it must have caused when they no doubt turned off th

Company Insists On Server Not Being Fixed, Massive Fallout Ensues

Some people and companies really are their own worst enemies. In this particular tale of tech support absurdity we get to sit back and witness the inevitable fallout of a company insisting that their faulty server shouldn't be fixed. This story also shows the importance of getting everything in writing. Those emails can end up being very helpful when it comes to keeping the incompetent folks accountable for their self created failures.

Check out some more tech support glory with this man who insisted that he knew better than IT and then learned otherwise.
