'My boss wanted me to stand every time he entered the room': Employee almost gets fired for "disrespecting" his boss, quits on principle

Imagine getting in trouble during your first week at a new job because you didn't stand up when your boss entered the room. Who does this employer think he is, a king? You would think in this day and age, given all the cultural conversations we have been having regarding employees' rights and backward workplace behavior, that this would not be allowed.

Well, if they don't actually think that, they are certainly not doing anything to stop this ridiculous treatment.

So, he did what any sensible, empowered employee would do: he quit. Keep scrolling below to find out how he delivered the news.
