‘How fast do I quit?’: Boss emails employee scolding them for clocking in 1 minute late from unpaid break – FAIL Blog

I think we can safely assume that this person is an hourly worker. Just want to say, props to them. Minimum wage jobs are the worst! The hours are long. You’re often on your feet for 8 hours straight (or longer). The bosses don’t really help out, leaving employees to incur the wrath of cranky customers during peak rush times. A lot of these bosses just have a general tendency toward being suspicious of their workers, too. They don’t want them to play music, or talk with other workers, or really have a good time at all. 

The good news, possibly, is that almost every job you have in the corporate world will be 100x easier than a food service or retail job. So if you’re in college or working towards a career like that, just keep in mind that these are the toughest working days of your life, and things will get better. Even if they don’t plan to leave this type of work, they can always move up to management easily, and that is a lot nicer than being an hourly employee. 

However, the question remains: should they quit over this one email? Is that enough of a reason to leave entirely, or is it just a simple email that can be ignored?
