| 0:00.0 | My entitled boss fires me after I refused to quit my second job, stating that the only reason I have a second job is because I'm lazy, and I am honestly still in shock by the way this guy treated me. |
| 0:11.7 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:12.7 | Okay, so this happened back when I was 18 years old. |
| 0:15.7 | Things may seem off, but remember, this was in the early 2000s. |
| 0:19.4 | And that time was a crazy time. Now, for the sake of the |
| 0:22.3 | story, I'll call my main boss the entitled boss and my second boss the nice boss. Now, when I was 18 |
| 0:28.3 | years old, my 37-year-old entitled boss was a tyrant. He lived life on easy mode. College was |

| 1:17.0 | getting my own place. Now, my parents were not bad, but could not afford paying for me to go to |
| 1:22.1 | college and covering basic expenses. Now, lucky for me, I did get a scholarship and grants, but it did not cover everything. |
| 1:29.9 | So I needed a job. Part of my money went to household expenses, as well as my needs, along with |
| 1:35.8 | attempting to save for my future. So I got this job. I thought since my boss agreed to do this, |
