Their past working at a fast-food chain encouraged other employees to share similar stories.
A month into being there, the regional manager came in & interviewed everyone.
They continued: He asked me if I had concerns.
I said I had 2 (not realizing this was unlikable).
2 days later I was fired for not smiling enough.
I was 30 and the manager said we usually only hire people in their early 20s.
She ended the interview and walked away from me.
Small company, was hired as a part-time hostess.
(2 days before).
I said, huh?
To which she replied, Oh yeah!
Because you were seasonal.
That bit was never discussed nor put on any paperwork, so… pretty convenient.
Honestly, I almost deleted it an hour after posting it, they recalled.
I was worried that it was too negative.
The actor felt a personal connection to the people responding to their online rant.
That moment is a great example of turning bad luck into good luck, they toldBored Pandain an email.
Nevertheless, Hunters experiences working low-wage jobs prior to their fame left a lasting impact on their personality.
Most of my time and energy went into surviving, they admitted.
But I started to change my mindset.
I didnt want to feel defeated by my circumstances.
While being forced to occasionally fast, Hunter would cope with the hunger using meditation.
Giving up felt like a death sentence to me.
I know that sounds dramatic, but Im very passionate.
Every day that I dont pursue my dreams feels like agony to me.
Youd think a mental health office wouldve been better equipped to honor a mental health break, Hunter critiqued.
But its a sad reality in the United States.
As workers, we need to demand protections, fair compensation, and appropriate vacation time.
28 million Americans do not get any paid vacation or paid holidays,Forbesreported in 2023.
Hunter recalled: In July 2019, I wrote down the wrong day for the audition and missed it.
As soon as I found out, I drove to the office and got there late.
I had a callback audition two months later.
The excitement was short-lived, as the part was given to someone else.
But what is meant to be will be.
Two weeks later, I got the call.
And I wasnt surprised.
But I was very happy.
In fact, they would now like to use their platform for good.
Id love to be a motivational speaker at some point, the actor explained.
I came out because Ive had gynecomastia since the 7th grade, Hunter revealed.
Gynecomastia is when someone born male develops breast tissue.
I had so much shame about that and spent my whole life hiding it.
Coming out was the first step I needed to take to escape that shame.
Get ready for a bumpy ride.
Youll regret it if you dont at least try.
Do it for the story.
Bored Pandahas contacted Chipotle for comment.
People continued to share their own negative experiences with their work
