'[She's] my hero:' Entitled manager tries to belittle hardworking single mother in front of management team, so she cuts him off and quits on the spot

A hardworking single mom was pulled aside into a meeting by her manager. There, she realized the entire management team was there looking a little confused and awkward. That's when her entitled manager pulled out a 25-point list of all of her allegedly mistakes. These were either nitpicking, false, or small infractions that the entire office does, including the managers. It was obvious this was simply a power moving being used to control this working mom. Her manager tried to explain that this was not an attempt to fire her or get her to resign, it was just a "review." She looked this man right in the eyes and cut him off saying that her resignation letter will be on his desk in five minutes. If it was THAT bad for him that he had to write up a 25-point list and include all of the managers, even though her yearly performance review a few weeks ago went great, then she might as well quit. And quit she did! 

 

This self-empowering move has since stuck with her children who will never forget the amazing Uno reverse power move their mom pulled on a power hungry entitled boss. Gotta teach your kids young to take care of their self respect even in a work environment.
