Employee risks termination after refusing to go to work during a snowstorm, demanding boss does not back down: ‘I told him I am not coming in no matter what’

Some employers genuinely believe that their employees have to act like they are married to their jobs – be there rain or shine, in sickness and in health, no matter what.

While, of course, a strong commitment is very important to any job, there is a limit. A limit which for some reasons many companies attempt to ignore. That is why some bosses often frown upon workers who call in sick, or act surprised whenever they learn people have things going on in their lives that are unrelated to the job.

Despite bosses like these, it's crucial that employees don't let that pressure get to them, and convince them to cross that line. If you're sick, you absolutely should not go to work, no matter what frown adorns your boss's face. If standing your ground in cases like these will get you in trouble at work, it's probably not a great place of work in the first place.

Those are the thoughts that came to the mind of the employee in the story down below when their boss demanded they come in to work during a massive snowstorm. Keep scrolling to read the full story.
