‘‘Can I set some boundaries here?’: Boss starts company group chat to text employees outside of working hours, one employee is fed up with boss's entitlement and fires back

What's worse than having to speak to an entitled boss on the clock? Feeling obligated to speak to your entitled boss outside of working hours!

One thing we can all agree on is that the audacity of some higher-ups is dumbfounding. Bosses can dish it out but can never take it, and then they tattle to their boss about behavior that they incited over years of workplace mistreatment. There's nothing wrong with an employee standing up for themselves—they're not being prideful, they're being normal. Nobody gets to berate and embarrass their junior employee without the possibility of getting the same treatment fired back at them. If the higher-up has an issue, take it to HR. That's what HR is for, right?

The employee in this story is at risk of reprimand after his boss berated him in the company group chat after hours. The reason had to do with an issue a customer, who is close to the boss, faced earlier that day. The employee attempted to call the customer to right some wrongs but received no answer, so they left a detailed voicemail. The customer claims he hadn't heard from the employee, and the boss goes a bit male Karen on them after hours. Luckily, the employee knows their worth. Scroll below to read the full story.
