Using His Time Unwisely
I used to work at a video game store (I’m sure you can figure out which one) as an assistant manager. A few months after I was hired, I was moved to a different location.
The manager there was the laziest jerk I’ve ever met. When I got there, the store was a mess. The game cases were supposed to be displayed on the wall alphabetically—none were.
The accessories were supposed to be arranged according to system—everything was mixed together. It was nearly impossible to find anything in that store. And the store itself was tiny. Besides not cleaning and organizing, this guy just did nothing.
He would spend his shift in the minuscule back room “organizing”. He would take a 1-2 hour lunch break almost every day, then go in and change his time sheet to show that he was only gone for 30 minutes.
Granted, the store was slow as heck, but still. I got tired of his BS after a couple of weeks, so I went to the district manager with my concerns. He and the regional manager had me keep tabs on him for a while (noting when he’d leave for his break and when he’d come back).
Then, when they had enough evidence, they fired him. I don’t know if there were things going on behind the scenes that I wasn’t privy to, but I would guess probably. Story credit: Reddit / Song_of-Storms
