'I've usually got like 40 missed calls': Coworkers guilt-trip employee who refuses to answer boss's calls on the weekends

This company pulled a classic bait and switch on this poor employee.

Some companies will do anything to appear like they're treating their employees well, while in reality, the employees are pretty miserable. One example is the "unlimited vacation" benefit that some workplaces offer. They lure you in during the hiring process, telling you you can take as much time off as you please. But in reality, you still have to get the time off approved by your boss, and face the guilt-tripping they'll try to do in the meantime.

This employee faced a similar situation at their job. While in the hiring process, the OP, u/freeefinally, was told that workers never had to stay late or work outside of the usual 9-5. But as the OP quickly realized, their boss was not abiding by that rule at all. Now they're stuck in an awkward situation with their coworkers over the boss's nonstop phone calls.

Next, check out this week's moments that were just a tad bit annoying.
