For the original post with my infamous quitting email, see:

As for any updates, nothing has come my way.

I returned the new company equipment that evening after quitting to the same person who dropped it off to me two days before. I was told that the owner was swearing up and down that he never told me to fuck off in the context I took it.

As for the email I sent, to my understanding the entire staff saw it. Many employees were new, so they didn't know who I was, which was fine. I didn't know them either. One person I did know responded asking, what happened. I lost access to my work email before I could respond.

For some information background:

• I was with this company for 13 years.
• In November 2022, I went to part time working weekends only as I had taken on a full time job elsewhere to pay the bills.
• I had been checked out of this job since October 2020 when I returned from parental leave after my daughter was born

Some aspects over the years:

• I was a supervisor from 2012 until I stepped down, in April 2021, to part time supervisor reducing my hourly pay from $18 to $17 after burnout from constant verbal abuse from customers and drivers
• Completely stopped supervising in April 2023 and took a further reduction of pay. When I argued being reduced twice for the same job, I was told by the GM that I had never seen a reduction previously. Despite showing proof of my original pay, I was ignored by the GM. He was also the one who signed off o that same reduction.
• Was asked to resume supervising duties a number of time. I continually refused unless I was going back to $18 an hour or more due to inflation. Continually told I never made such an amount and would only see a $1 increase for shifts where I supervised. At this point I had been reduced to ten cents above minimum wage, $16.60.
• Off and on verbal abuse from the owner over the years. -Threats to my life by customers over the years. One such person was a teenager who threatened to co e slit our throats because we could not find his lost item. He had his mommy call in asking us to help. We refused and told her he should be happy we were not reporting his dumbass to police.

What led to email:

The week before the event, I was working when my daughter decided to go pure WWE and try a diving headbutt off our couch into our coffee table. I jumped up an stopped her, but in doing so, my work laptop went flying and the screen was destroyed. I reported the damage to the GM and asked for a new laptop. I took responsibility for the damage, offered to pay for it as well.

I recieved a response from the GM on the Wednesday after thanking me for taking responsibility, but then I was chastised for destroying company property and that I had been irresponsible.

Arrangements for a new laptop was made and delivered Thursday, two days before the event. I was assured it was set up and ready to work. I confirmed via email that evening I had recieved the new laptop.

The following morning, I again received another email from the GM, still chastising me for the damage and whatnot. I, being fed up, decided to quit the following week.

The morning of the event, I went to login and the computer is not setup for use at all. I can't access the files whatsoever. I was told to either call the GM or the owner for assistance. I opted to call the owner despite already getting into it with him earlier that morning when I notified I was logging in late.

Suffice to say, he was not happy when I told him it wasn't set up. He expected me to have already had it ready. I told him I wasn't going to do that on my own unpaid time. That's when he scoffed told me to fuck off. I cut him off midsentence, told him I quit. I hanged up, sent the email, and the rest was history.
