Sometimes when plans are canceled it's the best feeling in the world. You go from a world in which you had to put on clothes, plaster a smile, see people, and be your best self, to a world in which you can take your pants off, kick your feet up, and embrace your inner gremlin. It's a weight lifted unlike any other.

But when plans, especially work (that you tend to rely on in order to have money to live), get canceled, that's a different story. Then it's not a relief, it's a burden. The whole idea of work is that they want, even need you there, right? So anything less than that is poor management and shouldn't be tolerated. That's what kept happening to a worker whose employer left them in a lurch a few too many times. Read on for the story, and see how commenters came in to set everyone straight.
