Employee’s Parents Harass Him at Work, Boss Steps In

Imagine having a falling out with your parents, and then they start harassing you at work! That’s exactly what happened to Amir, a 20-something employee who was relentlessly pursued by his parents at his workplace. Despite blocking their calls on his personal phone, his parents found a way to make his life miserable by calling his office and even showing up in person. Thankfully, Amir’s boss (25, f) decided to step in and confront the parents, but not everyone agreed with her approach.
