    What did he do? I mean, the guy who paid him in pennies is a dipshit, obvs but two sides to every story.

    He gave two weeks notice and was forced to leave the job earlier than that as the boss made his working life Hell. Then withheld his pay for weeks.

    What a petty person that boss is.

    Similar thing happened to me when I put in my 2 weeks with a shitty manager oh-so-long-ago. Dude immediately changed the work schedule so that I was working every single day for those last two weeks. He tried to schedule me during a final I had for school. I told him he couldn’t do that and he replied, “that’s not my problem.” I told him, “it is now, my keys are on the desk. I’m out.”

    This was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Two weeks after I left he was forced to resign because nothing was getting done. Nothing was getting done because I didn’t work there anymore. Damn, that dude was useless.

    Fortunately we received paper checks from a home office so he couldn’t have pulled this kind of shit.

    I’ve never understood how people like that get to the point of being in charge of others. I’ve worked under several managers like that in the restaurant industry. I once trained under a general manager who spent more time in the office crying because her boyfriend was a douche. And later, in the same company but different store, a manager who pretended to be more important than he was. Taking off saying he was going to meetings with corporate only to find out he was going to the beach every other day to drink.

    Yep. Same. This manager was in the store less than I was, and I was supposed to only be part time.

    Burying the coins in pails of Kitty Litter will soak that up pretty quickly: and he might find a couple of rare collectible pennies while he’s at it, not to mention those that are copper.

    Bet he also got a payday from every news channel that picked up the story. I had a buddy whose cat video went viral a few years back (it’s just a cat in the snow, nothing special) and it got picked up by a news agency. He made well over £10k for doing basically nothing. Then briefly thought he could make a career out of it so followed his cat around recording everything it did for a week. 😀
