A good relationship with a boss matters.
As do the relationships with all your other colleagues.
After all, these are the people we usually spend most of our day with.
If not, we still have to regularly talk or correspond with them.
Especially if they dont respect your personal time off work.
What followed was an awkward conversation and a subsequent, possibly illegal, firing.
Read our conversation withu/TylPlas26below!
But he also wanted to ensure that he didnt make the wrong next step.
I also hope my story can help be a warning to people, the Redditor tells us.
The OP also told us more about what the unpleasant work environment at his last job was like.
[It] was up and down a lot, the employee admits.
I had workers who I got along with and others who I butted heads with.
Another worker acted like a know-it-all, the Redditor goes on.
This individual would boss the OP around despite not having the same government training.
Theres also a longer story with this individual, which the OP recounted for us as well.
Last year, I had to have minor surgery.
And there was a miscommunication on when I would return.
So he was called in on the day they thought I was returning, which was his day off.
After that, he started the silent treatments.
I dont know where the miscommunication was.
I suffer from a TBI (traumatic brain injury), so my memory can be off.
So I dont know if it was me who miscommunicated or [if] the staff heard me wrong.
He had many more similar stories and shared one about a stolen day off.
So I figured if you were still home, you could work it.'
The boss also repeatedly demonstrated how he didnt respect OPs time and personal life.
He tried to get the OP to make deliveries past his shift.
A lot of these deliveries were also to the boss friends or family members not sketchy at all.
He lacks any kind of leadership skills that a boss needs to possess, the Redditor believes.
Dont be afraid to stand up for yourself, he says.
If they demand for you to give up your regular time off, dont.
If they dont value your time off, it means they dont value you as a person.
They only see you as a body thats helping [bring] money for them.
