I Would Have Hung Up Immediately And Told Her That What She Was Doing Was Selfish
Also, I lost my grandma a few weeks before my wedding and they denied my paid time off because I was going to be off for my wedding, so I didn't get to go to her funeral. She was my last living grandparent. I was heartbroken. I quit that job a few months later. It was a hostile workplace.

#15 Text I Received From My Boss While Sick In Bed

Text I Received From My Boss While Sick In Bed
I had told her the day before that I was attempting to look, but of course, nobody wanted to cover. She didn't respond, so I sent a follow-up text, and that was the reply I got. What is this joke about making employees find their own coverage while sick? I literally passed out on the floor, being told I needed to find coverage.

#19 Boss Lied To Clients About My Mother Passing Away And Expected Me To Play Along

Boss Lied To Clients About My Mother Passing Away And Expected Me To Play Along
The job was two weeks late in starting, but he could have just told the clients he’d forgotten how swamped our shop was and apologized. Or told a white lie that one or another of the machines at the shop had broken down and it took two weeks to get someone in to fix it. But no. And this is hardly the worst thing he’s done. I don’t work for him anymore.
