Remember when your parents used to confiscate your cell phone for not answering it? Thus leaving you with no cell phone to answer their subsequent calls with. You might not have been able to text your friends either, but not being tied to a requirement of constant communication and surveillance was freeing. It turns out that experience is not lost to the past, and you may be able to relive it (without clocking 88 miles an hour in a DeLorean.) All you need is a boss who is more concerned with ma…

Now, the manager, “Bob,” absolutely bears the brunt of t…

It's important that the medium used to convey a message matches the weight of that message.

This worker found themself faced with pushback from their boss when they decided to take a leave of absence to spend time with their girlfriend, who is in hospice care with not much time left. After “a few weeks” off, their boss began repeatedly attempting to get them to come back, texting them 13 times in the course of a week, insisting that there was “no way” someone could be in hospice for that long.

This cellphone saleswoman was singled out by her manager and told to clean up the mess of dishes in the break room.
