A good relationship with a boss matters. As do the relationships with all your other colleagues. After all, these are the people we usually spend most of our day with. If not, we still have to regularly talk or correspond with them. So when the person that you have to answer to is a jerk, it can make your life difficult. Especially if they don’t respect your personal time off work.
This Redditor shared a story of how they were laid off because they refused to come in to work on a weekend off. The OP and the said boss had disagreements in the past, but this time, the OP stood their ground and refused to budge. What followed was an awkward conversation and a subsequent, possibly illegal, firing.
Bored Panda reached out to the author of this unfortunate story, and they were kind enough to tell us a bit more about it. Read our conversation with u/TylPlas26 below!
