'Sorry, that's your job': Employee reacts to demanding manager who orders them to find someone to cover their shift despite having followed protocol

Working at a gas station is quite the experience. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Let's just say, it's not the end of the world if you get fired. There are plenty of other jobs out there.

This person was working at a gas station and had to take a day off following a family emergency. They followed protocol and let their manager know 4 hours prior. The manager's response was somewhat confusing, considering that this employee had followed the rules. First, the manager told them they were going to get written up. For what, following protocol? Come on. Then, it got worse, because this manager decided to get petty… and punish the employee in other ways. Scroll down to read the string of text messages, the poster's explanation, and what other people had to say about this.

When will employees ever catch a break? After you're done reading, check out this story about an employee who was told to stop bringing in free bagels to the office because that was 'HR's job'. Right… So everyone has to suffer?
