Work is so much more fun when...
Anyways, considering I'm not going to get paid for anything I do (except for my hourly that will barely buy me a cup of ice water)..I've decided to slack off and do nothing. I got drunk on the job on Sunday with a coworker who also put in her two weeks notice. If a customer comes in for an accessory I'll tell them car chargers are on sale for 44.99 (one customer actually wanted to buy it! then I told them I'd "discount" it and sold it f...

The future of all those who treat all companies and customers with the utmost disrespect.
I wish you luck in the french fry industry. Because if you leave like that, your references will be shot to hell! You would probably be better off to just No Call/No Show that day then to pull all that crap. It'll hit the company where it hurts, but atleast the customers don't have to pay for your stupidity that way. Geesh! 🙄
As far as reference is concerned, my reference is my store manager. He's a friend of mine, he's already been contacted and spoke highly of me. He knows the reason I'm leaving the company and he fully understands and supports it...as he too is getting screwed by the owner. He knows the motivation for me to sell is not there, and frankly he doesnt give a damn. He encouraged me to stay the final two weeks knowing that I'm not going ...

P.S. The month in which I sold $150,000 worth of satelite equipment and activations (yes, thats right $150K in govt grant money)...not a single "good job" "nice work" or "thanks" from the owner or anyone in upper management....and they tried to short me on that commission check too!
another thing they were doing by screwing everyone is raising minimum quotas and keeping the store stock of phones laughable. A kiosk inside vons probably has more stock than this rather large store with a large, empty stockroom. some of us made it work, others didnt...and its a shame because some good employees left for some really silly reasons. (one example: an employee left because they wouldnt pay him the $200 bonus that he was entitled to. 200 bucks! thats chump change to this man, and half a months rent to this poor kid. 200 bucks is one activation. he was a good employee, but I didnt blame him on...

Don't get me wrong, after reading all of that, I don't blame you for leaving. But the getting drunk on the job? That's a little extreme to me. But that's just me...
I like to leave a lasting impression when I leave a company, and a positive one at that. I worked a job that was great at first then slowly turned in to be hell. As much as I wanted to tell the owner to F off, I left on a positive note. I turned in a nice and polite resignation, and when the company I am with now called to check his references, he highly recommended me.
I mean how immature is to do stupid stuff like that. It makes you look more like an idiot than the company. Congrats!
