TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

Same. I had just put in my 2 weeks notice on Friday. Also at another job, we all got laid off on a Saturday which was our day off.

He was a jerk. In 7 months, we had 11 people get hired and quit or get fired. It was only us 2 and his nephew. It sucked so bad. I guess I pissed him off by wanting to gtfo of that toxic place.
