Office Drama: Who's the Real Victim? 🎭

This story has it all: misunderstandings, tears, and a whole lot of drama. While Jane cries over emails she perceives as rude, our protagonist tries to remind her that their boss George is dyslexic and not intentionally malicious. But Jane's inability to see past her own feelings leads to a Zoom call meltdown and a heated exchange. Was our protagonist right to snap at Jane, or should they have been more understanding? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🍿
