My entitled manager forces me to sit in a broken chair, thus causing it to collapse in front

of all of us. He then went as far as to claim to corporate that I broke it on purpose,

0:09.3

all with the intent of getting a new chair out of my paycheck. But I definitely wasn't going

0:13.7

to take that sitting down as I came back at my manager in a glorious way by shutting him down

on the spot. Here's what happened. So several years ago I worked in a group home helping people

0:23.9

with mental illnesses. During the day we had two to three staff working at a time. We would work

0:28.8

with the clients and then at the end of our shift, we would log what we did. There was one office

In which for nine months, I was unable to eat solid food and I had to lose so much weight.

1:28.8

I was only about 80 pounds and my recommended weight is about 140 pounds for my body type.

1:34.3

I was getting better and my manager and co-workers were completely unaware that this was the reason

1:39.4

for my weight. My boss insisted that the chair could be used. He then told my other two co-workers
