Long time lurker and first time poster on this sub. Sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my native language.

So I used to work for this terrible manager in a pharmacy, let's call him Edwin. He was the kind of guy who wanted is to greet every client in an insanely busy store. He was the type that wanted to introduce a color wheel for when I made creams and such and he was an overall terrible person. Edwin was the type that didn't let me go to a funeral of a friend of mine who died at 23 and the next day he could leave because he had to walk his dog.

After a few years I was done with all that shit. The last figurative drop? Him giving me this lecture in front of our patients when I was late because a bus broke down and I couldn't let in. He told me... Work hours are from 9 to 12 and from 1 to 6:30.. got it mate.

I stopped going to the lessons we got from people during my break. And got on at exactly 9 to clock in. When he commented that I usually was early. I told him. "You said my hours are between 9 and 6:30. No exceptions?" Gave him a confused look.

So whenever I was helping a patient. I would drop everything and stop at that exact hour. He fired me, I went to the union and was paid for 2 more years by this pharmacy. Later I learned, that during Corona... He made his people work with that virus. So what did I do? I called my counties FDA and told them all about it. The pharmacy is still shit down.
