Far-Queue 07/15/20 1:35:58 PM #15:	wwinterj25 posted... Nope. I just walked off. I did this, once. Job was M-F, weekends on a volunteer basis and there was always plenty of volunteers. We were hit with a pretty gnarly snowstorm that shut us down for two days, and our deliveries were way behind schedule. Boss comes around asking the crew if we could work the weekend to catch up. My birthday fell on that weekend. Normally, I don't give a shit about working on my birthday, but I had made plans with my family and my aunt was making me a lasagna for my "special birthday dinner". I'd already committed to being there. Explained this to my boss, he said okay and went on his way. Later that evening, and different supervisor checked in with me and said "So-and-so has you on the schedule for this weekend" and I was like "Um, nope!" Explained my situation to the second dude, and he told me I was on the list so I "have to show up" or I'd be written up for missing a scheduled shift. I informed him then and there that I was absolutely not coming in, and come that weekend, I didn't. Monday rolls around and I head in for my regular shift, get called into the office. They start in with the disciplinary action, ask me to sign off on it saying "I understand blah blah blah" and I told them I wasn't signing a thing because I never agreed to work and it was on them for putting me on a volunteer shift I didn't volunteer for. Then I walked off the job. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light... From the stars... <cite>Far-Queue posted [p:942146006] in Have you e...
