'I've never felt so powerful': Last-minute $1.5M contract falls apart after the company's WiFi goes out, then an employee reminds his pushy boss the limits of their stringent WFH policy

This employee had a boss who showed up to the office rarely, flexing his latest BMW and ordering his lackeys to bow at his feet. Well, when a crisis actually occurred in the workplace, the employees decided that it wasn't their job anymore to solve this boss's problems, leaving him with his foot in his mouth and millions left on the table.

Without a work computer, a work phone, or even functional Internet, there's not much a worker can do—even from the comfort of their own home. So when this hybrid employee got told to take his work home with him against company policy, he adamantly refused for a simple reason: He's not paid enough to use all of his personal roaming cell data to secure a $1.5M contract for his boss.

Keep scrolling for the work story that inspires rebellion in the souls of every employee who's ever dreamed of telling their boss to kick rocks.
