'Update: We argued. I quit': Boss insists worker leave dying girlfriend and return to work, worker quits

This worker found themself faced with pushback from their boss when they decided to take a leave of absence to spend time with their girlfriend, who is in hospice care with not much time left. After "a few weeks" off, their boss began repeatedly attempting to get them to come back, texting them 13 times in the course of a week, insisting that there was "no way" someone could be in hospice for that long.

They go on to express in their original post (items #1-9) the pressure they felt, how their life was falling apart, and how they felt they had no avenues for recourse; They work at a small family-operated business that has no HR department for them to turn to, leaving them at the whims of the owners.

They returned to share how things had progressed in an update post (items #10-19). Their boss continued to contact them, and the situation escalated, prompting the employee to quit immediately.
