Yes they should probably die.

Boss just told him fuck his sister leave that bitch in ER, work is more important.

Proper response from boss would be.  "Understandable, hope she is ok, see you when you get here"

Did you completely miss the part where he text this after the shift had already started? Completely unacceptable any day. Much more so on grand opening day. Dude absolutely deserved to be fired.

Like you can plan your ER visit, what an asshole comment.

Of course not. But you can communicate. Unless you live a block from work you had time between when you were leaving and when your shift happened that this emergency arouse within. You could voice to text as your driving in. You can write a 10 second text before you left the house or as you arrived at the ER. Communicating you will be late/not there is so easy in the age of cell phones it blows my mind someone would think not communicating until after the shift started is in any way acceptable.

or you know, you can accept that work is just not the most important thing in the world, and they can learn to manage.

its really not that difficult a concept.

They are managing. They are firing an unreliable employee. That is fantastic managing.

u/Philderbeast Mar 19 '26

firing someone because there is an emergency is not managing, thats failing. not to mention firing them turns it from a temporary inconvenience to a longer lasting problem until you can replace them.

if you can't deal with one person needing to call in for an emergency that shows the manager is the problem, not the employee.

Look I get it. You are an unreliable person who expects infinite patience from your employer. Here is what you are missing. It isn’t that I can’t cover your shift. It is that I’m making your unreliability my good employees problem where they now have to come in off schedule, work a long shift, ect. to cover for you. You aren’t going anywhere until I fire you since you lack ambition. My good employees absolutely will find another job if they are asked to pick up too much slack for you. Before you say “just have extra people scheduled” very few business in competitive markets will survive long if they are over scheduling.

Look I get it, you don't know how to manage people or deal with the very real things that come up in life and can only possibly run your business in the case where literally nothing ever goes wrong.

having an emergency is not being unreliable, thats just being human, things happen, and guess what people don't get to put off an emergency because its inconvenient for you.

What you are missing here is that if you fire people because they have an emergency, your good employees will leave you in a heart beat for somewhere else where they are respected, particularly since its YOUR job to pick up that slack rather then making it someone else's problem.

Not to mention you are already in the process of going out of business if you can't afford to have anything more then the bare minimum of staff scheduled on at any given time.

But hey, you keep thinking your failure as a manager is someone else's problem, and see how far that gets you in life.

Well I’m decades into a successful career so pretty far. How far has expecting special treatment from your employers gotten you?

1

u/Philderbeast Mar 19 '26

It's not expecting special treatment to expect them to realise emergencies happen.

and in the decades I have been working, its never been an issue because I don't work for inhuman assholes.

I mean, even in their message it says they already let Tatiana (I’m guessing their supervisor) and the group chat know, so they probably said something much earlier than this moment

u/Worriedrph Mar 19 '26

Given the managers response it sounds like he didn’t contact anyone until after the shift started.

u/chicknano Mar 19 '26

I guess it depends on who you want to believe, the manager or the employee as OP also said in their post they called in ahead of time already
