'I don't respond on Sunday[s]': Boss requests that HR deduce employee's salary by 50% because he doesn't respond on his one day off
There are strict bosses and then there are bosses who make outlandish demands that simply shouldn't be allowed. I've had my fair share of difficult managers over the years. You know, the kinds that call you on a Saturday night about something that really is not urgent whatsoever. When this kind of situation occurs, it is usually a test to see if you will, in fact, answer, and if you do, this communicates all the wrong things to your boss. It gives them the sense that they have full control over your schedule and that you will drop everything instantly for their benefit.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/superaggy, who is required to work Monday through Saturday in his country and has been pressured for quite some time to work even more on his one day off each week. OP, however, wasn't having the pressure. He doubled down and turned off notifications on Sundays, which led to a ridiculous reaction from his boss in which this so-called “leader” tried to get OP's pay cut by 50% because of these work-life boundaries. Keep scrolling below for the full story and the best reactions from folks in the comments section.
