College student working at pet resort is scheduled alone on chaotic Sunday to manage over 100 dogs with no support, she breaks down in front of customer after being overworked, boss then demotes her for crying: 'You need to be stronger to work up front'

Every person has that final breaking point in which they can no longer hold back their tears. For some it's when the love interest in their favorite film gets unexpectedly sick, or when they've tripped and grazed their knee just enough that the little lump in their throat forms…and for the rest of us, it's when we're completely and utterly overwhelmed at work, and the office, or in this case, pet resort, starts to feel like it's physically crashing down around you. What one does not quite expect is to be punished for showing those emotions…

This hardworking employee works at a pet resort, and on one Sunday, is forced to look after over 75 dogs alone! After hurting her lip, being screamt at by impatient customs and ultimately being unsupported for the whole shift, she breaks down into tears in front of another customer. The stress finally consumed her, as she showcased a true glimpse of how that never-ending day was affecting her…and then? Well, and then she is called into the office by her boss after receiving a concerning call from the customer who comforted her. He claims that she was making the company look bad and demotes her to the back of 'office', stating that he needs someone stronger working out front.
