If you ask most people what they’d consider the most important things in their lives, they’d probably reply with family, friends, and health. And while the importance of all of the above is undeniable, there is a time and a place for each. And it’s not in the middle of your shift, when you’re supposed to be working. But sadly, not everyone understands that.

Owner demotes manager for no-call/no-show 🤔 Is the owner the a**hole?

The owner of a vape shop is dealing with a difficult situation involving one of their managers. Peggy, who was recently promoted to Manager after two years of good work, failed to show up to the store and when the owner contacted her, she mentioned needing to take a mental health day and do some self-care. The owner was understanding but gave Peggy two choices: return to her old position or be fired. Peggy is now calling her out for discrimination, leaving the owner to ask, am I the a**hole? In the following section, we'll look at what the commenters had to say about this situation.
