Employee Roasts His Boss on Reddit Then Gets Fired for Posting 'Confidential' Messages From His Boss

People feel safe when they can be anonymous on the Internet. There's something about sitting behind a faceless computer screen and venting your troubles that carries as much catharsis as a trip to the therapist. For disgruntled employees who are irritated with a totalitarian boss, Reddit is the place to go as soon as you clock out. In this case, one Redditor who was venting about his boss online, got swiftly reprimanded when someone went snitching.

OP was a minimum wage employee at a sandwich shop, working shifts that were only posted a week ahead of time. After requesting a few days to spend with his family in town, OP received a schedule (a few days in advance) that included shifts that he would be unavailable for. After reminding his higher ups that he couldn't work, the boss flipped out and sent a scathing text pointing out OP's incompetence. Cue the Internet roast.

Upon receiving the snarky texts from his boss, OP was peeved and went straight to the Interwebs to let loose some of his frustration. Somehow the boss caught wind of his roast on Reddit and OP's work life quickly unraveled. Scroll for the full story on how one angry employee unloaded his qualms online, got snitched on, and then finally got fired for posting the truth.
