'Ok, then I quit': Employee quits when HR tries to make them work weekends after learning they have a side hustle

It's incredible when your employer thinks they own your entire life just because they're paying you for a small amount of your time. For some reason, they seem to think that giving your time to other interests somehow takes away from your contributions to your work. Almost as if they feel threatened that you have a life outside your career. This probably stems from the fact that their work is probably their entire life, and they probably can't stand being home with their spouse and kids. As a result, they simply can't fathom the fact that someone else might want to spend their time and energy on other things.

This viral story was shared to a popular online community for workplace discussion by user u/InfinateMad, who shared their story of being told by a very forward HR manager that if they have the time to work a side hustle on their weekends, then they should just be working weekends for the company.
