Manager threatens to fire an employee for attending his brother's funeral, then the guy rage quits on the spot: ‘I hung up and blocked her’

Whenever managers are short-staffed, they send a mass text message to every employee begging them to come in and work a shift. But when a hardworking employee asks for one measly day off, all of a sudden their baby eyes and good graces go straight out the window…

When one particular employee asked for a single day off, he learned exactly how far his loyalties at work would go–and how far his guilt-tripping manager would push him.

After receiving terrible news of his brother's untimely demise, the original poster of this story (OP) knew he had to be in attendance at a very impromptu funeral. His minimum wage job was the last thing on his mind so he submitted his PTO request a little bit late, thinking he would be shown mercy by his manager. Little did he know, his direct supervisor was hardly a humanoid and didn't have a shred of grace in their body.

Scroll for the entire story of how one employee rage quit on the spot after an insensitive manager threatened to fire him for requesting 1 day of PTO. After this, here's another tale of workplace drama where Redditors debate the best response to 'nobody wants to work anymore'.
