People really left for that reason?

That's actually really common in the job world. It's not just the job itself, but the environment. I've seen people quit quite often when other people leave or get fired. Hell, it happened to me. When I left my job, 4 others walked out because they wouldn't have any other supervisor...

It would be the same here. Jobs are so scarce that if you get one you've gotta cling to it with both hands. If you want alternative employment you have to try and search for it whilst still working. I've known people quit and regret it because they spend a year in unemployment searching for a new job.

Exactly. My sister and I have more than enough reasons to quit our current jobs in the world of the living, but won't do so until we find something else. Now she's been looking for another job for almost three years... Imagine what would have happened if she had just quit. In my case it's "only" three months, but still.

Reminds me of an episode of mystery diners I saw.
This woman was jealous over a breakup with someone she dated in the same restraunt
It turned out she was purposely turning customers away from him. She was being flirty with customers and tried to give them freebies but when they rejected her she charged them for her generosity.
She told a new girl to quit because a customer was.interested more in new girl than her
Then she made a big scene with her ex and threw a drink in his face in the middle of the restraunt even though he didn't do anything

Everyone in the USA likes to say how bad our job market it, but it's a load of self-pity bullsh*t. Our job market is fine. The problem is how lazy our population is. I have had 9 jobs in 4 years. Jobs are easy to come by. I get bored of one, jump to another. Now I have a family, so that's finally over, but the point is, yeah, the job market here is a ok if the people were't so arrogant and lazy...

That's totally different. When the front desk manager at the hotel I used to work at left for another position, half his staff left within 6 months (given, he took some of his staff with him which isn't entirely legal but whatevs) because they were loyal to him and couldn't work there without him. But they left only once they had another job to go to... because bills exist and we can't pay them without a paycheque.
There's a difference between leaving because the workplace culture changed dramatically and up and walking out because the prettiest girl on the floor quit.
And I also wanted to comment on your 'the job market has been great for me, so it must be great for everybody else' spiel. This doesn't reflect a very deep understanding of employment or labour issues. The economy of a city is greatly tied to the nature of whatever industries are most prevalent. For instance - I worked in Niagara Falls from the time I was 17 to 24. There's two industries in Niagara Falls - there's energy, and there's tourism. Niagara Falls consistently has the worst unemployment rates in Ontario because the work is largely seasonal. There's lots of jobs and lots of money from May to August... and then it's a ghost town. Thousands of people are laid off due to no fault of their own and suddenly the job market is extremely competitive again. Each job posting receives 200+ applications. These people aren't lazy - heck, I was one of them once and I consider myself a workaholic.
Similarly, the town I lived in, which was about 20 minutes away had a great economy and very low levels of unemployment... and then what happened? Walmart came in and within two years I would say about 80% of the small, local businesses closed their doors because they couldn't compete. So, now everyone who lost their job competes for jobs at Walmart, which are precarious and low paid in comparison to the jobs they had at small businesses, and the ones who don't fit have to work in Niagara Falls. It's not about being lazy. Sometimes, people are just unfortunate.
Back to Maddy's friend - Honestly, that's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. And creepy as hell. But I suppose it's better for the establishment they left though - if this job was so meaningless to them that they'd quit because some chick did, they shouldn't be there in the first place.

But sorry, this is incredibly off-topic so we should probably snap back at it now. Get it... snap... like taking pictures?

Through that door, is a seperate reality.
Yeah man, I know a guy who's had a job since he was 12. He has his body covered in piercings, and several tattoos, and he still hasn't had a problem with finding a job.

Yup. They found other ways to make the owner look bad that they were fine with before. They lied about tons of stuff too.
It's insanely creepy and stupid. It was mostly the people that had been hired when she already worked there that quit. That makes it creepier.
Okay yeah, totally off-topic now. I would post a picture, but I don't have any good ones of me and I feel weird taking selfies.
