My entitled boss laid me off for refusing to come in on my weekend off and I'm honestly so glad to be away from these people as they were literally some of the worst people I've ever worked with in my life.

Here's what happened.

So to start things out, I've been in retail since 2009, and my now last job I was there since 2014.

I won't go into huge details about the work environment, but to summarize, and the whole time that I was there,

my boss, despite always saying family time is important, would always screw over my personal

time.

When I worked directly under him, a lot of times he would cancel my days off because

he was taking a trip somewhere else. Couple with that and childish and immature co-workers who threw

temper tantrums and gave me the silent treatment and I was seriously at the end of my rope.

My job mostly consisted of delivering building material.

I had a certain certificate to operate a certain type of delivery truck and the certification was going to expire at the end of the year.

About a week or so into January, HR came to do a review with me.

During the review, they mentioned they're holding a course to re-validate the certification for everyone in the company in two weeks.

They said to me that it's on my weekend off and then asked me if I would be able to attend.

I looked at my calendar and I said I had plans booked that day, so it doesn't work to my schedule.

Now, my company wanted to get everybody done at once.

That way, they save money on group training.

HR said to me, well, just see if you can attend, and I said that the plans were set in stone and things were just left at that.

About a week before the course, HR emailed me again, saying this course is critical for my job,

so I need to try and attend but I replied and

said that it doesn't work for my schedule that I'd be happy to do it any other day

but this is going on during my weekend off where I had made plans well in advance, so it doesn't work for my schedule.
