Employee quits mid-shift after micromanager fires their coworker out of the blue, other employees follow suit, forcing the restaurant to close: ‘I just turned around and left’

Have you ever been so tired during a workday that you ended up wishing your boss would just come up to you and say, 'Hey, you seem off, why don't you take the rest of the day off?'

It probably never happened to any employee ever, but one can dream, right? We can dream about a scenario in which a boss is observant and kind, and knows when their employees have reached their limit. However, we all know that the reality is that if a boss tells you to go home out of the blue, it is probably not because they are worried about you, but quite the opposite.

Kindly or unkindly, if one's boss ends up actually telling them to go home mid-day, how is an employee expected to react? Should they insist on staying, or should they simply accept their fate?

If the story below is any indication, when a boss, especially a horrible boss like Marco, tells you to hang your apron and go home for the rest of the shift, maybe you should listen to them. Perhaps Marco is giving you a clear sign that it's time to stop putting up with him, which is exactly what the employees in the story below did.

Buckle up and keep scrolling to read the full tale.
