If we think about this more broadly, this is really just further evidence that we have been conditioned to do what's most efficient for our employers and companies rather than look out for ourselves and ensure that we are being treated fairly every step of the way. There are certainly more options u/reneemul could present to her boss so that the outcome is both realistic and equitable. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments.
