'Pretty sure that I'm getting the boot': Boss comes up with nonsensical reason to fire employee after he demanded proper pay for paternity leave

This horrible boss is well overdue for his comeuppance. After he pressured his employee to cut his paternity leave to a mere two weeks, he almost did not pay him for that time off. When he finally did pay the employee, he told the new parent to keep this information to himself so as to not convince other employees to "have children.' Talk about selfish and outdated!

However, the conflict between this Redditor and his boss only begins there. After learning that he qualified for more paternity leave and was entitled to be paid for this time, the employee confronted his boss about it. His boss called the policy a bogus one, which he later denied saying. After this heated exchange, the employee had a feeling that he would be fired for some silly excuse, and he was right.

Keep scrolling below to see what excuse his boss made and to find out how the employee plans to get even. For more stories like this, check out this post about an employee whose manager started enforcing 14-hour Zoom calls.
