Restaurant fires server via text while they're on a cruise: 'No shade, but you're an unfriendly loner that refuses to learn and grow. No shade though'

There is no good time to receive bad news. It's going to sting no matter when you get it. But there are worse times and better times, and we can try to respect each other by choosing the better times. For example, maybe you have to tell someone that you're breaking up with them. You are not going to do it on their birthday, probably. You might either try to get it in before their birthday comes or wait a respectable amount of time after it has passed. It might put you a little bit out of your way to do that, but you know you would hate it if someone broke up with you on your birthday, so you're just trying to do them a favor.

Unless the information is so urgent that it can't wait (aka, "Wait, there's peanuts in that, and I know you're allergic), you can give something and an appropriate amount of time before you rain on their parade. That's not what happened in this situation, though. No, in this story, a boss waited until the perfect wrong time to deliver the bad news.

Having waited until they were offshore, their boss thought this was the perfect time to strike. Read on to see what happened in the exchange and see what you think.
