'Stop being a drama queen': Loyal employee gets accused of stealing $40 from the register, hostile manager gaslights them

A theft accusation is a tough burn to come back from– especially in the workplace.

Because of this delicate balance of trust, a server's credibility is a fragile, yet desperately important thing to maintain if you're a restaurant manager. You wouldn't want to scare off the last of the good ones over a feeble hunch… right? 

But that's exactly what one hot-headed manager did in our next story.
