I am a fast food manager. I really like my job as much as the next fast food manager. My boss is really an over-bearing, control freak that only thinks of himself. On night, I was working third shift and got a phone call. My wife was frantic and was screaming into the phone. I finally got out of her that our house was on fire. Her and my son were at home and smelled smoke from upstairs and she found it was in full blaze. I called my boss at home and told him my house is burning and my wife needs me now. He said hang on and he would call me back. Five minutes later he calls back and said he can't find anyone to cover and that I needed to stay and close. He said if business was slow, we could close 15 minutes early. I was shocked and then I started to get pissed. I then said if he did not get his ass in there now, it would be closed now. He said he wasn't coming in because he was watching a movie with his family. It was "family night" and he wasn't going to ruin it. I then said thank you, hung the phone up and then proceeded to shut the equipment, lights and computers off. I posted a note on the windows that stated that my house was burning down and had to leave. I left to be with my family. I was fired the next day.
