Don’t know if this says more about the employer or the previous employ.

Elizabeth sounds as if she has written an idiotic ‘enquire within’ notice (or two) in her personal life. (‘Her way or the highway). The writer is a loser if they can’t manage people any better than the notice reveals.

THEY’RE crazy. It is the same as saying “They are crazy.”

THEIR crazy would only work if you meant something like “Hey, some of their crazy is rubbing off on me.”

Oops, “THEIR” crazy. Although they’re works, too.

It’s great when potential employers broadcast they’re crazy so you don’t have to bother dealing with them.

The misogyny is one thing, but I’m far more offended by the signposter’s use of awful Avant Garde for the font!

“U necessary”. It should probably be followed by “bro” or something. For example, “Hey Double N! U necessary to the word unnecessary, bro!”

I don’t deny that there are some bad employees and what happened to you is very frustrating, but as the manager, owner, whatever it is this person’s job to set the tone of the workplace and right now (s)he is epically failing. No decent employee is going to apply after seeing a sign like this.

How do you pronounce “unnecessary” that it only needs one ‘n’?

Are there some bad bosses, of course there are. As a business owner what I take away from this is a manager exhausted from dealing with drama queens. You just want someone who comes in on time does their job well=ish and goes home.

I had a guy recently that I hired who was a good guy it seemed but didn’t like the first place I had him working, so I got him a more fitting assignment. Then one week I needed him to cover another location for two days that would have reduced his hours but I told him I’d cover that. He agreed and then the day before he was going to work the other location he quit on me with no notice. It really put me in a bind. Four weeks later he emailed me asking for his job back, he didn’t realize how bad the job market was and in retrospect realized I had bent over backward to work with him. Needless to say he wasn’t rehired.

I flashed back on the guy who ran the pizza place up the street from my house. Always hired teenage girls to work the counter. They always quit within two months or so. A friend of mine was one of those he hired. She told me he tried to make a pass at her and when she rebuffed him, he tried to lock her into the freezer. You’d best believe the day he suggested I work for him, I couldn’t dodge the question fast enough.

I have a feeling I know this guy. There was a guy in our city who owned a shaved ice place. He got in trouble for spanking his young female employees when they made mistakes in the workplace. Yeah he got sued and the business got shut down. Who saw that coming?! The funny part is the girls let him spank them at first just because they knew as soon as it was over with they were going to sue the hell out of him.
