• Workers at a McDonald's restaurant in California made a splash on social media on June 27 with their extreme and unusual resignation.
They left a blunt handwritten note behind: "Everyone quit. We are closed," then posted a video of the empty restaurant on TikTok.
The Daily News reported that TikTok user @zoey.isback clarified: "Y'all, we didn't quit from our pay. The store was ran by teenagers and it was a terrible workspace."
• William Ben Darby, a former Huntsville, Alabama, police officer, was convicted two months ago of murder for fatally shooting a man who was threatening suicide.
But, AL.com reported, the city is still paying his salary as he awaits sentencing on Aug. 20, as he is technically on family and medical leave.
In fact, the city has allegedly asked other police officers to donate their accrued sick leave to Darby, identifying him as an unnamed employee with a medical condition.
"We have an employee who would like to receive donated leave but has elected to leave their name and medical condition off the request," read an email from Chief Mark McMurray.
McMurray denies sending the email and said his assistant might have forwarded it from human resources.
