‘Since you're ahead of your tasks, why didn't you text me asking me for more work?’: Overworked employee quits on the spot after their manager reprimands them for taking a 10-minute break

When an employee reveals they are more than capable of doing the work of two people—that's their first mistake. In this game, we like to call the workforce, an employee must never show their hand. If we let our employers know that we're capable of being overworked, then they will overwork us. We must act our wage, as they say. The overworked employee in this next story realizes that they can't manage to take ten-minute breaks without being reprimanded by their boss, who claims that if they have nothing to do for one moment, they should beg them for more work. Yeah, no thanks.

This is a common tale in the workforce. You want to believe that your boss has your best interests at heart, but they're really looking for maximum output, even if that means sacrificing your physical or mental well-being. Luckily, the employee you'll read about here decides to unsubscribe from this toxic work culture mindset by quitting on the spot. I'm not allowed to take a ten-minute break? Then you're not allowed to underpay a hard worker who wants nothing more than a moment to rest their feet. Scroll below to watch the karma play out beautifully.
