So I worked at a small clothing store in a mall. Nothing fancy, just hoodies, tees, sneakers. The job was fine, but my manager had mood swings. Some days he was chill, other days he’d snap over nothing.
Last week I came back after a few days off and the stockroom was a mess. Boxes everywhere, new stuff not sorted, some items even damaged. I took pics and sent them in our work chat, just saying we should report it.
My manager showed up like 10 minutes later, already mad. Started saying I was “creating problems” and “being negative.” I tried to stay calm but I said, “I’m just pointing out what’s wrong.”
He goes, “If you don’t like it here, you can leave.”
And I don’t know why, but I just said, “Okay.”
He looked at me and said, “Then you’re done.”
I took off my name tag and walked out. It all happened so fast it didn’t even feel real.
It’s been a week. No one called. One coworker told me the manager is now dealing with the mess himself.
Lowkey stressed about money, but honestly… I sleep better now.
Did I mess up or dodge a bullet?
