Teen Gets Man Fired After Unpleasant Lobby Confrontation

A 16-year-old boy was waiting for his dad in the lobby of a media tech company when he was confronted by an employee. The employee insisted that the teenager wasn’t allowed in the lobby due to COVID-19 restrictions, despite the fact that no such rule existed. The situation escalated, and the boy’s father, an executive at the company, got involved. Ultimately, the employee was fired for his actions. Now, the teenager is left wondering if he’s responsible for the man losing his job.
