Manager Doesn't Schedule in New Hire's Promised Vacation, Wonders if They're Wrong

How can you be this completely dense?

This new hire quit their job when their manager did not uphold a promise to let them take leave they had discussed during the hiring process. The manager then took to the internet to see whether or not they were in the wrong because they couldn't fathom that they possibly could be. The internet endorsed the employee's actions and condemned the manager who posted the topic. The thread was then screen-shotted and shared on other subreddits, where it went viral.

The thread was originally posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-hole) subreddit before being cross-posted to r/antiwork. 

Commenters on the original thread were quick to tell the manager, who posted the topic, that they were undoubtedly the "A-Hole" and were entirely in the wrong in a near-unanimous vote. Commenters on r/antiwork were still harsher, and their tirade against the manager resulted in both threads being locked.
