Some people know how to make an entrance, while others specialize in exits.
On December 6th, 17-year old Jackson Racicot posted a video titled, "How I quit my job today," on Facebook. As of today, the video has been viewed nearly 300,000 times.
The teen quit his job at the Walmart Grande Prairie Supercentre in Alberta, Canada, by reading a prepared speech into a store-wide intercom system, Insider reports.
"Attention all shoppers, associates and management, I would like to say to all of you today that nobody should work here, ever," he said over the speakers. "Our managers will make promises and never keep them."
During his remarks, Racicot noted that he has been working for Walmart for over a year and a half, and calls out his assistant manager for insulting him.
"[Management] will preach to us about how they care about their employees but about a month ago, my boss, assistant manager Cora called me a 'waste of time,' and management did nothing."
His speech, posted here, includes profanity.

I spent a year working at Walmart to get my head right after getting burned out in my healthcare work. I wasn't a big fan before working there, and I despised the company after I did.
Fellow employees crying in the break room was a regular occurrence. It was generally because they had just been written up AND had their hours slashed because they were too close to getting full-time. Mind you, they weren't working more than scheduled, they had just neglected to tell a superior that they were being scheduled for too many hours. America's largest employer, y'all.
The kid ain't wrong.

Wal-Mart have an excellent system for shopping, everything in one spot. But they treat their employees like absolute garbage.
My wife worked a second job for a short time as a cashier at Wal-Mart. She submitted her schedule stating she couldn't work certain days, as per their request and stated upon hire that she could only work 20 hours or less and only nights on weekdays, due to her full time job.
She gets her schedule and she's working on a day she said she couldn't work, during the day. And at 40 hours during the 7 day week. She tells her boss and shows her, the submitted document stating her hours and her initial hiring package which states all of the above.
Her boss says something to the effect of "be here for all your shifts or you're fired." My wife solved the problem but quitting immediately. The manager calls her the next day and informs her she no showed and would be fired if she did it again. My wife informs her that she already quit and would continue to "no show".
They are absolute idiots running those stores. They treat their employees like interchangeable cogs who have no real value.
