Employers who throw random unnecessary temper tantrums are essentially asking to make enemies. It should not have been a surprise to this toxic boss that someone was going to witness his public outburst at a young intern and do something about it. Thankfully, there were enough employees at the company who were already over this guy that retaliation against him snowballed at an abnormally fast pace.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by the former employee who started the mass quitting movement. He witnessed the office intern ask their boss for some time off because their pet was dying. The boss showed no sympathy. In fact, he showed ire, and this ended up being the straw that broke the camel's back for the employee and for many of his coworkers once they were informed about what happened. Hopefully, someone has also consoled the intern and has let her know that this behavior was not OK.
