WORK Related-A New Writer Prompt

For this writer prompt exercise, I offer an idea that should be easy for many of you. A lot of us work crap jobs where our bosses are ungrateful for what we do, scold us like we’re children even when we go above and beyond. I know I’m tired of the idiocy of management, especially when at this point I’m stuck at my current job.

So here’s an idea: lets say you come into work, the shift before leaves you a bunch of shit that they’re too lazy to do before they leave. You have your own shit you have to do. But before you can leave for the day you have to finish all the shit they left for you, which takes almost an additional hour. The big boss comes in, he’s spitting mad because his store manager talked down him and he had to get said manager demoted, which put him in the spot of store manager. His job has also been threatened by his boss, so he sees you getting off your shift an hour after you should be off his clock, and talks down to you, basically threatening your job.

Write 500 words minimum on a scene on how you (or your character) would handle this situation. Or lets say what you would do to this boss (fantasy world mind you)  if you had the chance. From non-violent to the most macabre.

GO!

(Not directed at the awesome managers and employers out there, I know a lot of you are good and fair people. As an employee and a former manager myself I thank you, and appreciate you!)
