rSlash - r/AmITheA**hole For Quitting When My Boss Refused To Let Me Leave?

Episode Date: October 19, 2020

r/AmITheA**hole In today's story, OP's boss refused to let her quit. She handed in her resignation, but the boss was like, "Nope, I don't accept it. Guess you have to keep working here, LOL!" There's ...only one little problem with that: forcing people to work against their will is literally slavery, so OP called him on his BS and just walked out. Does that make OP the butthole?

Starting point is 00:00:26 connectzontario.c. Please play responsible. Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit. Today's subreddit is R-Slash, and my the butthole, where an employer tries to enslave his employee. Am I the butthole for telling the principal that his punishment was dumb and taking my daughter out for a fun day instead. My daughter was in second grade. She was in class and suddenly felt like she was going to vomit so she tried to run to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:00:54 She didn't make it and vomit it in the hallway. However, she was into the office for running out of class without permission. The principal called me about this and I had to come in. He told me that she was being punished and was losing her privileges to go on the field trip the next week. I told him this was insane considering that she did it because she was trying to keep her making a mess and she SEVEN. She made a snap judgment that I think most people would make. On top of that, they sent her to the principal instead of the nurse. He refused
Starting point is 00:01:24 to change the decision, so I took my daughter at a school for the last two days of the week. Since she was missing the field trip, I wanted her to have as much fun as possible, so we went to an amusement park, the movies, and the paint pottery. She told her father about this during his vacation time, and he got very angry at me for undermining the principal. And I, the butthole? Down in the comments, I'm
Starting point is 00:01:45 going to read this reply from not even sure low cry. They sent a seven-year-old to the principal for puking instead of the nurse. And then double down when you call them out on their lunacy? Hell no OP, you are not the butthole. Yep, I agree. OP, you could zero out of five buttholes, and the principal gets 2.5 out of five buttholes. What a nut job! Am I the butthole for telling my husband to lose the entitled attitude and do stuff for himself? Just recently, my 31-year-old husband was promoted to assistant manager at a warehouse. We both work on the upwards of 50 hours a week.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I'm a shift manager at a behavioral disorders facility. Both jobs are very hands-on and strenuous. Since his promotion, he's developed an entirely different attitude. Extremely entitled, and dare I say super rude. He's always boasting and bragging. This has been going on for three weeks, so some examples are as follows. On his days off, he wants the house to be radio silent. If our four-year-old wants to play, he tells her to stick to her bedroom because he needs some peace and quiet after working so hard. If I make our daughter lunch, he'll immediately say,
Starting point is 00:02:52 where's mine? He asked me to grab him things at all hours of the night. He expects nightly backrobes, but if I ask, he'll scoff at me and say, I worked all day. Even if I'd worked as well. He expects me to make meals that he likes every night, regardless of whether or not me or a daughter like the meal. He also now acts like he has full say over the money because he makes more. Last night was a tip of the iceberg for me. Before this, I let a lot of stuff slide because it was a recent promotion and hell, he's
Starting point is 00:03:25 excited, so I get it. But last night around 11pm, I was in bed scrolling through my phone, he comes into the bedroom, lays down and says, babe, you should go make me some ice cream, I want the chocolate drizzle on it, and oh, don't forget the cashews! Then he starts scrolling through his phone. I ignore it because I feel at this point that I was gonna snap. He then shook my leg and said, Did you hear me?
Starting point is 00:03:49 So I responded with, Yeah, I did hear you. And no, don't make it yourself. You were literally just out there. Your sense of effing entitlement is way out of line. Do stuff for yourself. He became offended and instantly like like F in clockwork said, but I worked all F in DHA. So I snap back with, yeah, I did too. In fact, I worked 12 hours
Starting point is 00:04:14 to your eight, like I said, do stuff for yourself. He's now saying that he's not acting entitled, and that I was just taking my bad day out on him and that everything I said makes them feel unappreciated. Am I the butthole? Did I push it too far? OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. This guy's power has completely gone to his head. My wife and I have a system that works out really well. Basically, whenever one of us has a big accomplishment, like a promotion at work, then we have one day to celebrate that's all about them. It's kind of like having a birthday. We go to the restaurant that they like, they order whatever they want, and we basically spend the entire time talking about how great they are and how much they've accomplished. This is a great way to support your partner, but it's worth mentioning this is just one day.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Afterwards, you go straight back to an even 50-50 split. Your husband seems to think that just because he makes more he's contributing more to the relationship. OP, you really need to knit this behavior in the bud, or it's probably going to get much, much worse. I think I'll give your husband two out of five buttolls because while I can definitely understand where his ego is coming from, that doesn't make it justifiable. Am I the buttole for not allowing my disabled neighbor to park in my driveway and getting your car toad despite their previous owner allowing it? I bought a house
Starting point is 00:05:29 a few months ago and moved in last month. The previous owner was a friendly old man that could no longer live alone, so he decided to sell and move in with his daughter. Just to be clear, I put the word disabled in the title in quotation marks because the lady in question is just really, really overweight. And I'm not sure if that counts as disabled. Now, apparently, the previous house owner had been allowing his disabled neighbor lady to use his driveway largely because street parking is extremely limited. And what little street parking there is is pretty much instantly occupied. What I'm saying is, unless you have a driveway, you end up having to park a good 5 minute walk away and that's the best case scenario.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Obviously, I wasn't aware of this, so I was surprised to see a large SUV parked in my driveway when I moved in. I ended up having to knock on several doors asking whose car it was because the movers couldn't stand still in the busy road for too long. I figured out it was a neighbor's car, so after a good 10 minutes of knocking, an extremely angry, enormous lady opened the door. I told her to move the car, and she immediately started arguing that the neighbor said it was fine. I told her that he moved out, and I moved in, and no, it's not fine. And to move it, because the movers need to unload my stuff. She begrudgingly did,
Starting point is 00:06:45 and I ended up seeing her walking back half an hour later completely wet with sweat. Now a few days later I went back to work, and low and behold the SUV is parked to my driveway again. I go over there, again spend 20 minutes knocking on the door before the lady opens the door, again visibly angry. I tell her to move her car, my driveway is not public parking. She protests saying that her ankles can't take walking the distance and claims that I can easily walk. I tell her that while that might be true, it's my freaking driveway and I want to park there myself.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Again, she moves her car and again, I spot her half an hour later drenched in sweat making her way home. Well, it happened again a week ago, and this time she wouldn't open her door. I got tired of it and had her SUV towed. She, of course, came to my house to scream at me, and I told her to get the hell off my property. A few days later, I had a small fence installed with a lock on it to make sure it didn't happen again. I've been getting dirty looks from her and one of the other neighbors and when I told my mom, she told me I should be nicer to people. I do feel sort of bad too, she clearly struggles with the walk and all. There is so much going on with this story.
Starting point is 00:07:58 First of all, if she wants to use your driveway, then there's already a concept for that. It's called RENT. She can pay you for the privilege of parking in your driveway, then there's already a concept for that. It's called rent. She can pay you for the privilege of parking in your driveway. Secondly, if she's disabled, she can go through the proper channels to get a disabled parking space right in front of her home. And third, there are people down in the comments saying that OP shouldn't just assume that she's not really disabled. That, in fact, maybe she's overweight because she's disabled and can't exercise much. None of these posts are talking about the fact that this lady just assumed that OP wasn't disabled.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I mean, yeah, OP says that he's not disabled in the post, but the neighbor didn't know that. So, OP, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. You did absolutely nothing wrong. These side marios all you can eat? Is all you can munch a soup, salad, and garlic homo. Oh my, small meat, and I'm gonna move on up here. Hi, I'm Pete Davidson, and if you're like most people, you may be asking yourself, well, hey Pete, are you here to up my hydration game?
Starting point is 00:08:59 And I'd be like, hey you, that's exactly right, with new smart water alkaline with antioxidant. And you'd be like, okay cool, but there's no way there's a higher pH, right? And I'd be like, there actually is! And you'd be like, that's rad, I hope there's electrolytes for taste too. And I'd be like, you're not gonna believe this! Elevate how you hydrate, and keep it smart, with smart water alkaline. Am I the butto for walking out after a boss tried to refuse to accept my resignation. I had a boss who was a real turd.
Starting point is 00:09:29 He labored under the delusion that he was an excellent boss and couldn't put together that his behavior and the suki pay was why he had such a hard time keeping employees. He also thought it was acceptable to call his female employees Hun, sweetie and sugar. He was a condescending butt wipe who consistently passed over more qualified women for promotions in favor of promoting less qualified men. I had to stay until I could find a better job because I enjoy eating and couldn't afford to leave unless I had something else. I got an interview with a competitor who hired me on making more than I made with him. I turned in my two weeks and he said, oh, sweetie, you know you can't leave.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I said I absolutely am leaving. He got the smuggest look on his face and said, well I'm not accepting this sugar, guess you're here to stay. I got so furious and decided that was it. I said, well screw this then, I quit, effective immediately. I called my new job and explained what happened in front of him as he just sat there slacked odd and I agreed to start the next day. I packed my stuff and left. A former co-worker said it was the butthole thing for me to just up and quit on the spot. But if he refused
Starting point is 00:10:41 to accept my resignation, he could have easily tried to screw me over on my last day. My new boss says that he deserved it, and I'm not the butthole for quitting like I did. My boyfriend says that he can see how other employees might feel like I was the butthole by making them cover my absence. But he sees how I'm not the butthole for walking out of that toxic environment. So, just because I'm curious, I thought I'd ask here, am I the butthole? Oh, what did I just read? I've literally never heard of a person who thinks that they can just refuse someone quitting. Dude, people are allowed to stop working, because if they're not allowed to stop working, that's called slavery.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And last I checked, that's like super duper legal. So, OP, I'm giving you zero out of five buttholes, and I'm giving your boss three out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for kicking out my sister after she's sabotaged a meeting with a fertility clinic? I'm a 29 year old female, and eight years ago, my 32 year old sister got pregnant. The father wasn't involved, and my sister didn't want the baby, but she also couldn't bring herself to terminate or to adopt out to strangers.
Starting point is 00:11:47 She approached me and my now ex-husband, and asked if we would be willing to adopt her child, Lucy. We weren't sure, as we were concerned this would lead to issues down the line, but my sister insisted that it wouldn't, so we ultimately agreed. Before Lucy was a year old, my husband left us both because my sister lied about Lucy's father. When Lucy was four, I got together with my wife and we married last year. My sister has said that seeing me and my wife with Lucy, who's now seven, confirms to
Starting point is 00:12:15 her that she made the right decision. When I first adopted Lucy, my husband and I told my sister that we wanted multiple children, which she said she was fine with at the time. But now my wife and I are looking into our options and my sister objects. My sister has been staying with us since July because her boyfriend kicked her out. She keeps asking Lucy if she's sure that she wants siblings. Lucy has said that she does, and telling us she's worried that we won't be able to give Lucy what she needs. And then, today happens.
Starting point is 00:12:42 We had an online consultation with a fertility clinic to talk about sperm donation. We told my sister about it and asked her to keep an eye on Lucy while we talked. The Wi-Fi went randomly on and off three times during the session, booting us out of the call each time. The third time, my wife went to check on it and saw my sister holding the power cord, and Lucy trying to plug it back in. Lucy saw my wife and said, auntie keeps turning the wifi off. My wife plugged it back in, but we can no longer get back into the session
Starting point is 00:13:11 and we get an email from the doctor saying that if the wifi is gonna be this bad, then maybe we should try more local clinic as we can't do online consultations. When we confronted my sister, she admitted that she wants Lucy to be an only child, so she has 100% of our undivided attention. And then said no sarcastic tone,
Starting point is 00:13:29 Forgive me for only wanting what's best for my daughter. To which we responded that Lucy isn't her daughter. Things escalated until I said that my sister should go stay with our parents and my wife drove her to their place. Since leaving a few hours ago, she's apologized and begged to come back. And my parents have also asked me to take her back, but I've refused. They've called me a butthole for kicking my own sister out after one argument, because now she's unable to get to work. She has no car, and it's too far to walk. And she's back in her childhood room while at our place, and she has a studio to herself behind the house.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Am I the butthole? Down in the comments, someone asked why the identity of Lucy's father mattered to OP's ex-husband, and the resulting story adds a lot of relevant context. The story's kind of long and convoluted, so I'm just going to sum it up here. OP's ex-husband worked at a family business which is Grandparent's own. His grandparents were extremely opposed to adoption, so the only way that he was willing to adopt the kid is if he told his grandparents that it was actually HIS kid. So he asked Oopie's sister if the baby would look like him, and she said, of course it
Starting point is 00:14:36 would. The father actually looks like him, and since he's married to her sister, the gene should be pretty similar. But when the baby came out, it turns out that the dad was actually Puerto Rican with brown eyes and olive skin. So, after months of Opie's husband telling his grandparents that he was about to have a kid, the baby pops out with a completely different racial skin tone. So now, everyone in his family thinks that Opie cheated on him. So, you could actually make the argument that OP's sister also broke up OP's marriage. Considering this extra very important context, I'm giving you 0 out
Starting point is 00:15:11 of 5 buttolls OP. Your sister however is a real piece of work. She literally sabotaged your family not once but twice. First, by lying to your husband and making it look like you cheated on him, and secondly, by interfering with your husband and making it look like you cheated on him, and secondly, by interfering with your chances to have a new child. Her behavior is completely inexcusable, especially with calling Lucy her daughter. She gave up that right the second she gave over to you for adoption. I'm giving your sister 4.5 out of 5 buttholes for being a manipulative, selfish jerk.
