This insensitive exchange made employees wonder if the boss was unaware of the situation or Deliberately mocking them.
Sharing the post, the user wrote: “Actually got fired from the owner of the business and during the conversation he mentioned that he was going to another continent with his partner and kids over the summer. “Anyway,” He said. “What are your plans for the summer vacation? Where will you go?” “Well, nowhere to go?” ? ” “how come? ? ? ? You should go on vacation. It seems like you are really stressed. You have to go somewhere to relax and take care of your kids. “You literally told me I wouldn’t have a job in a week. I really don’t know if he was being incredibly stupid or making fun of me. Whatever the fuck.”

Another wrote: “Chronically wealthy people suffer from mental disorders that make them disconnected from reality and a danger to others around them.”
