An employee received a text from their boss last Thursday asking them to come in to cover a shift for their coworker. When the employee responded that they could not come in because they were studying for an exam, the boss answered that they were "expected to be available for tonight's shift." Things escalated to the boss saying they were "disappointed," and the employee decided it was time to walk away
The employee nailed it on the head; what a downright demanding individual. But we're starting to see so many posts like this it makes you wonder… just how prevalent is this?
