'I won't be in tomorrow or ever again': Employee quits on the spot after boss chastises them for sitting down during 12 hour shift, despite doctor's note

Sitting down during a work shift is necessary… who could possibly stand for 8 to 12 hours at a time? It seems out of this world to expect that from your employees, but this boss lived in this la la land where they thought that sitting down meant employees weren't being productive… even when they were proved otherwise when presented with the metrics. But hey, you don't know how to manage, you lose employees, right? And that is exactly what happened. Some bosses really dig their own graves, and this one did all the digging. Apparently, they enjoyed handling a shovel.

Scroll down for the ridiculous text exchange between this overworked employee and their boss who chastised them for daring to sit down during a 12-hour shift, even though the employee actually happened to be injured. Then check out more wild boss stories shared by fed-up workers here. When will they learn? Something has got to give… Thankfully some people are willing to teach them a lesson.
