Workplace Horror Stories Told By Disgruntled Employees 

Next Time, Bring A Shovel

Summer job working for a landscape architect. Got to the job site and he asked me to dig a hole in some rocky dirt. I asked for a shovel. He didn’t have one. I asked for a hand spade. He didn’t have one. Then he said something that actually made me laugh. He told me to just dig the hole with my bare hands and then he drove off to another site leaving me completely alone.

I dug for a little bit and then said, “Nope” and left. Had the job specified that I needed to supply my own tools, I could’ve but it didn’t and I wasn’t going to work for somebody that expected folks to dig through hard, rocky soil with their hands.
