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.
