Employee fired for attending grandfather’s funeral after PTO was denied, gets revenge 6 months later when boss disputes work dates by flooding his phone with spam: 'His role was client facing so he couldn't ignore phone calls'

One or two spam calls a day is annoying enough but when your phone is blowing up nonstop with unknown numbers offering to refinance your mortgage, upgrade your car warranty, or help you move across the country (even though you never asked), it becomes a special kind of h*ll. It's disruptive, infuriating, and worst of all, impossible to fully escape. You block one number and then 10 more pop up like gremlins in a group chat you never asked to join.

So while most of us simply suffer in silence or throw our phones across the room in despair, one former employee took things a step further after their ex-boss gave them a truly petty reason to do so.

It all started with a perfectly reasonable request for time off to grieve the loss of a grandparent and help settle the estate. When the company denied that request and then went as far as to fire them for attending the funeral anyway, the employee left quietly… at first.
