'We didn't sell enough to pay you guys': Bakery owner late on payroll, employee calls her out, boss sends condescending text

Imagine your boss not paying you and then giving you a lecture about your inability to handle finances well! It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance and tunnel vision to have that level of audacity. It's the kind of narcissistic "main character syndrome" behavior we have seen in a lot of anecdotes about horrible bosses here at FAIL Blog. 

What's especially amusing here, however, is that when this boss was backed into a corner about being late on payroll, instead of owning up to her mistake, she decided to go on the offensive and use this moment as an opportunity to make it seem like the employee was at fault. But here's the truth: the only thing the employee did that was wrong here was agreeing to get paid under the table and not calling the IRS on this ridiculous excuse of a bakery owner.
