i worked as a manager for a cafe, me and my boss had a good relationship texting after hours, bonus’s. in lock down i was furloughed so i moved across to another city to live with my partner through lock down, my boss calls me in the evening telling me to go into work the next morning, something that wasn’t possible, she went on to say “if you don’t want to work here then just say” i did go in later that week and she said stuff like “there’s plenty of others who’d have your job” for the record i was good at what i did, had no issues prior, anyway, a few weeks of this so i found another job, told her as much and handed in my resignation and the look that washed over her face.

she called a few times through the year asking if i’d come back. moral of the story, as much as i liked working there i will not allow someone to call me expendable. we should all have more respect for others and self respect.
