It’s a tough job market out there. It’s not easy to catch a break for anyone. That’s just the truth. But there is only so much that we feel like putting up with for a paycheck. Everyone has a different line that they don’t feel like crossing. Most people don’t want to put up with a certain amount of disrespect. We don’t want to feel like we’re not being valued at our own place of work. We already sacrifice so much to be there, the least the higher-ups can do is make it worth our while. 

What you especially don’t want in a workplace is being made to tolerate someone’s disrespect because you feel like you have no other option. It’s true that it’s difficult to find a new job, but that shouldn’t stop you from demanding what you deserve. That’s what started to happen in this story, where a manager did a great job at making their employee feel worthless. After taking their regular 30-minute break, they couldn’t have imagined the reaction that their manager was going to have.
