'You're doing thousands of pounds worth of damage': School caretaker leaves hundreds of visitors waiting after being told he's not allowed to open the gate manually

This caretaker had to wield that phrase that should be a warning to any boss: "Can I have that in writing, please?" As an employer, that should immediately make you do a double take. It should make you think, "Hmm, why does my employee want to document this order?" Perhaps they've already had some reservations about it, or they see something you've missed. No matter, though, because that type of boss dislikes listening to employees. They think that they're superior in their role, and that their lowly employees couldn't possibly be capable of good decision-making. 

The caretaker was also given the worst kind of employee instructions. He was basically told that he couldn't do his job, and this impacts the students and staffers at the school. Now, with all eyes on him, he's forced to tell everyone that he simply can't help them today in the way he does every other day. Awkward…At least the guy, u/Sir_Jimmothy's father, was able to talk to his boss after maliciously complying with her ridiculous order. You can check out the full story down below.
