Employee forced to “prove” himself or get fired, he hands in his resignation instead: ‘You were lucky to have me!’ – FAIL Blog

Thankfully, this employee had his head on straight. He knew as soon as the ultimatum was “offered,” that he was unlikely to follow through with it. He ended up asking his boss for the weekend to think it over. Clearly, his boss was expecting that the author would agree to the ultimatum to try to show him what he was worth. 

However, the boss did not anticipate the resignation letter that would be delivered to his desk first thing Monday morning. Maybe this employer learned a valuable lesson here. Even if he was never going to fire this guy, applying that kind of pressure could be a dealbreaker for many. It certainly was for the author!
