Boss forces employee to take a red-eye home, he takes off the next day and leaves his boss scrambling: 'An $80 hotel stay could have avoided a far more costly loss'

Some people thrive on red-eye flights, while the rest of us are left trying to figure out how they do it. 

Personally speaking, I have never been able to get enough sleep on long flights especially red-eyes. Part of that is because for whatever reason, I am always seated next to a bathroom, a screaming child, or a sick passenger who will not stop sneezing or coughing. The fact that this boss thought it was a good idea to force his employee to take a red-eye says a whole lot about how he values the Redditor. Of course, the boss was mostly only thinking about not having to pay for another night at the hotel. 

So although the Redditor was forced to take a red-eye that night, he was able to be ever so slightly petty by taking the next day off to rest. The consequences? His boss lost his mind as well as a day of productivity trying to handle work that the Redditor would have been willing and able to do if he was able to stay at the hotel for one more night.

Keep scrolling below for the full story in the Redditor's words. For more, check out this post about a boss who forced his employee to stay late despite having zero work to do.
