Employee gets back at manager who refuses extra leg room request: 'Enjoy paying for my business class seat'

This person had to snap photos of their unfortunate airplane situation before their company would even consider helping them out! 

Many people do not enjoy flying on airplanes one bit. You often have to wait a long time and deal with delays. Not to mention the other passengers, who are also pretty stressed and not thrilled to be on the plane, either. 

Some people have an even more difficult time during their travels because they have medical conditions that complicate their trip. This person just had a larger frame than many airplanes can accommodate: as they describe, they're 6'1" and on the bigger side, so without extra leg room, any flight feels endless. After one 3-hour-long flight spent cramped up in pain, they knew they couldn't let this happen again. Airlines all have different policies for larger passengers, but this person was caught up in a battle within their own company. Their assisting manager seemed to take their request personally, which was just so unnecessary. If it cost $100 to get them extra legroom, they must've spent hundreds of dollars of company time just trying to figure out a workaround.

After that, read about the employee who was inundated with phone calls, making it impossible to work on their phone: "A company gave out 10,000 flyers that had my phone number on them."
