Eric finally quits after the manager, Ricky, tells him a cautionary tale about how he gave up on college because he was promoted to assistant manager. Surprisingly, Red doesn't mind, dismissing it as a "hair-net, name-tag, nothing kind of a job". Notable Details

Motivated by Red's belief that work is about seeing "how much crap you can take from the boss-man," Eric gets hired at Fatso Burger, which is owned by Jackie's father.

The episode includes a parody of a grainy, black-and-white employee training video called "Doofus & Diligent," which mocks workplace compliance films of the era.

Danny Bonaduce, a real-life '70s icon from The Partridge Family , guest stars as the demanding manager, Ricky.

Kitty visits Eric at work and is heartbroken to see him miserable and behind on his schoolwork. She encourages him to quit, promising to handle Red.
