I'm Free... Free as the wind...
Well I would've preferred if they had fired me( for unemployment) but at least I can tell others- I quit. Because that's what I did.
I went in... I clocked in and did a bit of work and then my Manager, Steve, called me into his office. I explained to him that the cow does NO work and I felt the Ass't manager Moh was full of it.
He told me that when the cow was ordered to clean up- she cleans up. I felt this was semantics because while she didn't talk back, she did a 1/2 ass effort of cleaning. He also pointed out that Moh was well within his rights to order me to clean up.
I pointed out that Moh was a bad manager and maybe if he managed better, I'd follow better. Steve then tried HIS usual shit of saying how HE was one of us, because STEVE cleans the bathrooms from time to time. I told him that was HIM, not Moh. Moh doesn't clean the bathroom.
He also referred to Moh as my "superior" several times, to make it clear that Moh outranks me.
So I asked- 'You're saying Moh is right?"
And he basically replied "Yup. When Moh tells you to straighten up the copy center, you do it"
So I said " I quit!"
I clocked out and cleaned out my locker. I then said goodbye to a couple of co workers and in my heart I wished Staples Ill Will.
As I think I mentioned there were only 3 1/2 people in the copy center.... the cow, the mom, me and they wrangled a friend of mine every so often who hates and in turn is hated by the cow.... Well he's transferring to a different store so that will just leave the cow and the mom in the copy center- and neither of them does Saturdays

In what I thought was a bad omen- the beer I had in the fridge was skunky so I had to go out to get more beer.
I hope the beer being bad does not bode ill for my job search tomorrow

Shit.
I hope the job search ends swiftly, buddy. I am glad you're free of Staples, though.

I've been stewing on this since last night. It really bugs me and I'm really pulling for you. I think they pulled out the stops to goad you in to quitting so that they could avoid the unemployment benefits.
You could still try for them by the way, citing your reason for leaving as religious oppression--lord knows you went through enough of it.
