'I couldn't let her talk to me like that': Overworked employee calls their boss's bluff, quitting 10 seconds after being called 'replaceable'

Overworked employees should be hailing praise and getting awarded for their efforts by upper management. After countless endless work days and business trips on the weekend, those overtime hours really start to rack up and the longer this goes unnoticed, the more indignant employees will become. Who can blame them? After an 80-hour work week with nothing to show for it but bags under your eyes and a dusty, unchanged salary check, overworked employees can start to unravel, like the worker in our next story. 

Originally, OP wasn't on a warpath in the workplace, but when their director had the gall to toss another heaping load of responsibilities on OP's task board, OP was furious. With no 'thank you's and certainly no pay raise, this overworked employee did the one thing that anyone irreplaceable holds the cards to do– They quit immediately. 

Keep on reading to enjoy the empowering rebellion that ensued when OP stood up for themselves against a system that takes advantage of the hardest working employees, calling their boss's bluff and packing their bags on site.
