'Everyone has to come in for eight hours on a Sunday': Boss enforces mandatory "deep clean" on a Sunday, employee refuses to comply

Imagine waking up to an email in your inbox from your manager enforcing a mandatory "deep clean" shift on your one day off. Any sensible human would likely groan and decline the offer. And yes, no matter what this manager says and no matter how he tries to frame it, this is an offer as the employee's contract makes no mention of this "deep clean" shift. 

Furthermore, this manager had absolutely no plans to adjust the coming week's schedule to accommodate the weekend day or to try to carve out time during the regular work week to take on this project. Instead, he tried to see how much mileage he could get out of his employees by making this request seem like a demand. Well, thankfully, this Redditor's girlfriend was not having it. Her partner shared the message online, and based on the reactions in the comments section below, it's quite clear that tons of people have had managers who have tried to pull this nonsense in the past.

Keep scrolling below for the full story. When you're done, check out this post about an employee who got a better job after his boss tried to get away with a 30% pay cut.
