Power Trip
I had a boss tell me I had to get to my shift, or I was fired. I wasn’t late often, I didn’t ever call out, I was one of the top sales people, and I did most of her work for her while she talked on her cell in the break room.
I called out that day because my then boyfriend just totaled his car, with me in it, 60 miles from where I worked. I called as soon as it happened, hours before my shift. She was insistent I had to be there. There was literally no way for me to get there.
I said ‘well, I guess I quit, I’ll pick up my last check next week’. I don’t think I ever even saw her again, it felt good to take the power away from her. Story credit: Reddit / fleaona
