Boss forces employee to accept $1 raise while doubling their workload, employee refuses, informs boss to take it up with their lawyer: ‘He lost it’

Don't you sometimes wish you could say whatever you want to your boss, without thinking of the repercussions? Perhaps we could come up with a workplace 'purge day', in which everyone could do and say whatever they wanted at work, and then all will be forgotten the next day. 

Some employees don't need a day like that, as they are not afraid to put people in their place, even their bosses. Take the employee in this Reddit story for example. If I were told by my boss that I have to accept a $1 raise, while being forced to take on twice the workload, I would probably agree without a fight. However, this employee did not let their boss bully them into accepting these terrible terms and even threatened to contact their lawyer when their boss wouldn't let it go.
