Manager threatens to write up employee if they don't call their coworker next time they fail to show up for their shift, employee refuses: ‘That's not my responsibility’

What's the point of having a manager if you're expected to do all of their tasks for them? The employee in this next story refuses to call their slacker coworker when they fail to show up for shifts, and in turn, their manager threatens to write them up for their refusal. What would you do in this situation?

Every workplace has a hierarchy, and within each level of the hierarchy, there are certain tasks that each group has to complete. As you get closer to the top of the corporate pyramid, you find that they do a lot less work for triple the amount of pay. It's the same spiel that folks spew about MLMs and trickle-down economics—"It'll come back to you!"—but it never really does.

This is a classic case of poor management, lazy supervisors, and employees who aren't paid nearly enough to complete extra tasks on the clock. I don't blame the employee; In fact, I applaud them. Too often do managers throw their workload on underpaid underlings—this employee is breaking the cycle. Scroll to read the full story below.
