In this loop 2 jobs get started and only 1 gets left. Anon is going to get real busy real soon.
I did this for a few years. "Oh, you are refusing to approve my vacation? K, I'll just quit"
I didn't do that exactly... but when my boss told me to do overtime during end-of-quarter crunch on a Saturday night shift (Sat 22:00 to Sun 10:00, factory jobs are fun), the next person I spoke to was my family doctor. She put me on a two-week compulsory medical leave with full pay and straight up told me to get a new job. Unfortunately I couldn't help the company meet their quarterly growth targets. The next time I saw my boss, I handed him my resignation papers.
Sure feels nice to live in a country with real labour laws.
I enjoyed the work itself. It was very autism-friendly. Unfortunately some absolute boneheaded decisions by the middle management wankers during the pandemic resulted in a huge backlog of orders, a shortage of parts, and a constant state of short-staffing.
Anonny gets jobs really fast, good for him
