“So this just happened and I’m almost numb atm [At the moment]. I hope I don’t regret this tomorrow as I do enjoy my job, but management is rough,” reads the caption posted along with the video. The post is shared with a screenshot that shows a conversation between the man and his manager.

The conversation shows how the manager wanted the man to come to work on his day off. He politely refused and asked them to ask another colleague. To which, the manager replied, “Brian is married with a kid, I'm not asking him on short notice. You're single, why can't you come in?” The matter escalated quickly when he further refused. And eventually, he quit on the spot.

Take a look at the post showing the conversation between a man and his manager:

“Never elaborate why you can’t come in on an off day. Simply reply that it’s a personal matter,” suggested a Reddit user. “Hardest habits to break but damn does it feel good to just say ‘no’,” shared another. “That one chilled my blood. I think I'd have just ignored it and not shown up. Not sure where bosses get these ideas they own you,” added a third. “This shows how little your boss values you. Good on you for putting your foot down, OP,” joined a fourth. “I also didn't like their power dynamic with telling OP to choose their next words carefully. Good job to OP for not being intimidated,” wrote a fifth.
