An employee had spent months at their new job always being on time, usually getting to work before their shift even started. However, they had one bad day where they were disorganized, and they ended up getting there eight minutes late.
They hoped that their boss would be understanding, but he lost his temper instead. He was not happy that they had not called in first. On top of that, he expected them to forgo their lunch break. This was a step too far for the stressed-out employee, who felt like they only had one option.
