A real thing that happened to me as a teenager.
I had what turned out to be a dangerous walking pneumonia, for a week, but the manager at Burger King wouldn’t let me off. My breathing was very loud and ragged. I was coughing on and breathing on the food.
I wasn’t allowed to leave. I was told if i called out, I was fired.
So Im shuffling around wheezing loudly swaying with my high fever as I work drive thru by myself, and a paramedic walked in to order dinner.
He goes ballistic, My friends. He demands to see the Manager. he chews him out at the top of his lungs so the whole restaurant can here. Guys working the back came up to watch. Customers staring and thinking hard about the infectious food they were eating. Dude losing his shit about how infectious I was and all the people management had been endangering for days judging from my breathing and I needed to be home on antibiotics RIGHT NOW and the health Department was going to hear about this.
I went home. i got the week off. Didn’t even need a doctor’s note.
Getting friends management doesn’t know to do this WOULD WORK.
Same manager not letting me take my influenza home a year later despite repeated vomiting? Threw up in front of customers. Customers demanded money back and started threatening the manager with lawsuits.
I got to go home and got time off until I stopped vomitting.
GO AHEAD and THROW UP in front of Customers. THEY will Complain.
Don’t be shy.
They are supposed to let you stay home when you are sick. Stop protecting management. (Hiding how sick you are protects management). They are abusing you. Let them reap what they sow.
reblog to kill your landlord with a sword
Uh my step mom actually had something to do with this in a way and it is an even more ridiculous story than that title even suggests
Story?
Sure!
So my step mom works for a local union and sometimes they get workers who are in a tough spot and need a little extra help financially. The union has an organization that handles their charitable monies and my step mom is one of the people that fields these calls and passes them on to that organization.
Now if im remembering the earlier parts of this story okay, one day she gets a call from a man who needs some help with bills like rent or something. They help him out, he's super grateful, job well done.
Now a couple weeks or months later, idk, they get another call from this man. He and his roommate are having some issues with their landlord, who lives in his own house on the property. Apparently the guy keeps barging into their rented place unannounced and drunk, belligerent, threatening them with crowbars and 2×4 and shit. The man, quite rightly, wants to get outta this. He's newly sober and stressful situations like this are Not Good for people going sober of any sort. So the union starts working with him to get him some other housing.
Someone else at the union gets this next update and passes it onto my step mother, who recounts it to me as I stand with my jaw to the floor in our living room.
So apparently on one fateful night this man in question was out of the house. And his roommate was home alone. And the landlord came barging in again.
Except this time he comes in holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, and a Michael Myers mask on to top it all off, and he's raving about how he's going to kill them all and then himself. Like he's totally lost it.
Now the roommate of our man is like actually factually scared for his life because this is quite a bit too far. And he now has to deal with this situation or he is likely going to die. So. He grabs a decorative anime sword of our man's off the wall and beheads* him.
Yep. With an anime katana. It's like one of those fake stories on tumblr. Except this actually goddamn happened.
* I am skeptical about that having been a beheading. This was not a honed sword, and not a practiced swordsman. However none of us have enough information to say it WASNT a beheading, full or not. And anyway the landlord was killed so it doesn't quite matter if he was mortally stabbed or not-so-cleanly beheaded.
Regardless! The man called us up to let the union know what happened, and they got him outta there ASAP. And the roommate was NOT charged because he was defending his life and there was a long history of them having to call the cops to get the landlord out of their place to prove such.
So uh there you go. And can I just say the whiplash that I had when seeing this post cross my dash was really something. I even screenshotted it and sent it to the house group chat and my step mother and dad started cackling in the other room because it is such a weirdly close to us story to see on this random site. Like please understand it wasn't even reported on in the news.
There you go! There's the story!
Wow, props to your step-mom and the union for getting him out. Hope he finds a better place to call home.

Death to landlords
This is pure art.
For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled “Defend the Sacred” by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.
Her name was Marissa Blacklance. #Dakota38 rider, & front line water protector at Standing Rock. She was killed by a drunk driver in January of 2018. Her mother is using this tragedy to make changes benefitting our community with the Yellow Scarf tribute.
Thanks for the important information!
