My husband use to work for Office Max before office Depo and office Max combined. He worked there for 4 years and after they combined he got a new manager who treated him like a dog. Made fun of his weight and hair loss. (Yeah he is going bald. But he still my sweetie hair or no hair. lol) Well he had enough he was the one person holding that store out of the red and she hated that her boss kept praising him and not her. So he quit and went to college for a while than started working at Staples. They LOVE HIM. They were not even hiring when they hired him. After the interview he was put to learning to work there not the next day I mean RIGHT AFTER. He did a trial like everyone else but he was given the job after the first week when one employee thought he broke a high paying repeat customers computer. My hubby fixed it in 10 minutes. The customer walked over to the gift card section grabbed an olive garden card put 100 bucks on it and gave it to my husband.
He did that because if my husband didn't fix it the computer was to go out and it cost the guy 450 bucks to fix. But my husband did it and it cost the guy nothing. See they are not allowed to accept tips. So the guy got the card and said well thanks so much and walked a little bit than said o look at that a card here on the ground wow a olive garden card with 100 dollars on it. I don't like that place that much here you have it only fair since you were here when I found it. lmao.
His boss raised him from trainee to 3rd highest employee in the story in less than a year. Office Max/office Depo where he worked closed a year after he left. Lmao
Imcan believe that someone stays in a comfortable /no-risk position, and misses out on the salary bumps he'd have gotten if he'd looked around. But it's a little much to,accept that one firm rubbed it in the other one's face with a sympathy card. Even if the managers had a little rivalry going, you never put ANYTHING in writing that could be used later. When resigning, you don't even put "thank you for the experience" or "I learned a lot" but just put the date you're leaving.
