I worked at a fast food joint when I was in high school. The joint would stop rostering staff after they turned 18 as they would need to be paid more. I was 17 and a half at the time for reference.
Management was lame. They'd expect us to find a replacement for missed shifts, regardless of how much notice we gave. If we were understaffed, we'd have to turn non drive-through orders away but otherwise it would be business as normal.
I had my final end of year 12 exams. I did 6 subjects and the exam for each subject was held on different dates in November. I provided 3 months of notice yet was asked to find a replacement the night before my exam, or I'd be let go.
Now, if an employee ghosted my boss at this point, they'd be let go and my boss would typically find someone else to cover the shift, as he should be doing be default.
No problems. I texted my boss that I found a replacement. I sent my deadbeat brother who was unemployed and on welfare for the past 3 years there.
My boss went ballistic and sent me a brigade of texts blaming me for costing them money and informing me that I was let go.
I read them after my final exam and blocked him.
