Interestingly he said he's worked there a year and a half, making him at most 16 when started and maybe younger. Which means at least you gotta give credit for not being a lazy teenager, dude had a job as soon as it was legal.
Of course that doesn't mean he isn't hardheaded and rosy eyed.
 
Might be one of those that Mom/Dad made him get a job or maybe he's a slacker that didn't work when he was there and quit because they got tired of his lazy ass and was actually makin him work.
 
He should get a job as a plumbers helper for half of what he got paid at Walmart (assuming that's $15/hr).
He doesn't know "shit" until he's swimming in raw sewage under a 2000 sqft house with 14" of crawlspace and that 20 minute belly crawl through pink fiberglass, jagged metal, black mold and live possums was all in vain because the elbows he hearded up there were the wrong size and the MUTHAF****** drill has a dead MUTHAF****** battery.
 
Way to stuck it to the man. But good luck down the road bro .

I only quit one job without a notice and I had the balls to call the owner and tell him that it was too nice to come to work. He asked what about tomorrow, to which I replied the weather looks even better. He hung up on me.
 
And that’s the problem today. I, along with many on here (I’m sure) worked shit jobs. I was a paper boy - remember home delivered newspapers - from age 10 to 15. Then on to a company building boat trailer which promptly ended in the late summer. (Not many boats being sold in MA during the winter) Burger King for next for 8 months (or so). Then I collected trash after hours as part of the maintenance department at a paper company. When I heard I would be part of the maintenance department I thought I would be repairing things. Point being, I’ve worked a bunch of “different” jobs but I never treated an employer as shitty as that kid did when I turned in my notice. Always did it it in a professional manner. Good luck getting another job, snowflake.
 
I walked off of two jobs in my time. One where I was concerned for my own safety, and I've done enough of stupid shit that I shouldn't have much concern in this department. The second was because of a complete asshat of an owner. I don't know this kids reasons, but I don't regret my decisions to walk the fuck out when I needed to. It's not burning bridges when you want nothing to do with the other side of that river!

But you're assuming that he next guy will know about this. He's 17, next job is probably at Lowe's or something. You think the 30 year old shift manager who also dosn't GAF is going to recognize his name from the very bottom of the news feeds? It's not like this is all over prime time. In a week it will be forgotten about completely, and the reality is it's only likely an employer would find out if they contacted his previous employer. Which for this kind of job, why would they bother. By the time he's applying for a "real" job in 5 years nobody will care.

^^^This...all of it. Nothing against working at WalMart...it's honest work, but I doubt the kid will have to worry about this being 'exposed' on ESPN or CNN. Truth be told, for the level of jobs he'll do in the foreseeable future, even if a company runs background checks or dives into their social media profiles, they won't care. Half of one of my departments is made up of 'down on their luck' single moms that's had their mug shot on tv before. They do their job, do it well, aren't a distraction at work, and I wasn't exactly looking for a community pillar when they were hired. At this age, kids are stupid, every single one of us have done or said similar, we just didn't have the capability of reaching the entire planet when we did it. There are actual classes and seminars now on how to deal with exactly this scenario...what should bosses do when they find inappropriate employee/potential hire social media content. That wasn't even a thought 10 years ago, now it's normalized. Every now and again me and a buddy will screen shot and send some of the shit we posted on FB 8-9 years ago and wager if those posts will be found if we ever run for local government. Kids are stupid, this isn't a new concept...the internet exacerbating the reach of their stupidity, however, is.

17 years old and already burning bridges and putting himself in the public eye for the wrong reasons. Good luck kid.

At 17 you don't have enough job experience to realize what is a good job and what isn't.

I was going to post exactly this.

I've had several different jobs in my life (dishwasher, carpenter, lawn and garden equipment assembler, pizza delivery guy, lawn mower, designer, engineer etc), and always talked to my boss one on one and gave him proper notice I was quitting. It is the professional thing to do.

There are a lot of times now when I think, man I wish I had taken advantage of the forgiveness that time affords kids/young adults, and done more stupid shit then, that I can't do now b/c I have actual responsibilities and a family name to look out for.

Wouldn't matter. You're a white male. Unless you ran as a democrat, most anything can/will be fabricated to make you appear as if you are:

  • Racist
  • Sexist
  • Rapist
  • Abuser
And if you ran blue, you'd simply have to claim you're 1/91287524136th Indian/black/Syrian to dodge any of those potential claims from the right

true, but I let my principles get the best of me.......
 
My co worker didn't come to work all of last week. He showed up at 1 pm today. Walked back to my boss's office. Said "I've been sick, I'm still sick, I don't have any more vacation or sick time, and that's bullshit, so I am quitting"

Guy is 40. Doesn't have another job lined up. And essentially quit a pretty decent job because he takes atleast 3-4 days a month off claiming he's sick. Lol

There was a 'Mr Sick' who worked in my group. He called in sick on what seemed like every other Monday. I was at his house one Sunday afternoon for a cookout, and discovered why he was sick every Monday, LOL.

There was a time when the rule was when you retired you lost any unused sick leave.
There was a guy in our branch from India. Older guy been here forever. Close to retirement. Every year he'd save all of his vacation time and go to India for a month. Miraculously, every year instead of coming home when he was scheduled, he'd end up sick in India and "couldn't come back" for another 2 weeks.
They changed the rule, to pay out cash for accrued leave at retirement, and magically the next trip, right before his retirement, he didn't get sick that time. Funny how that worked.
