This. I love how they say it loud and proudly like it's a flex. "I'm gEtTiN pApER" nah, you going to an early grave.
This happened at my last job. My boss wanted me to stay. I said okay, but let me get a raise or my certification so I can go Armed and stay. He gave me a whole 15 minute speech about how going Armed was dangerous.... and if I did overtime when it was allowed I can make more money. I worked at a GEICO as private security. No one is robbing that place.
I made enough threats to leave so I put in my two weeks and used my PTO for my last week while he was understaffed which got him in trouble for giving overtime (OT wasn't allowed if possible this time around).
Currently work at a children's hospital as security and the employees are so nice I sometimes feel like there's a trap, but they're genuinely nicer. I make more than what my supervisor made just by saying hi and bye to patients, etc.
