Boss told me I act like a stereotypical millennial who doesn’t want to work because I don’t stay overtime

Pretty much the title describes it. Conversation started when I (24F) asked to work from home because I have a doctors appointment. Boss proceeded to tell me that I have been sick so much already this year so he doesn’t want to let me have the day off even though I said I want to work from home. Proceeded to say that I come in with not much enthusiasm and should be more like a sponge since I’m a year out of college. Told me that I act like a millennial who doesn’t want to work. That I should be a team player since it’s a smaller firm and I rarely ever stay past 5pm. Told me I think about myself only and even though I ask if there’s anything I can do before I leave, it’s clear I don’t mean that I want to help (though I would heavily…


Pretty much the title describes it. Conversation started when I (24F) asked to work from home because I have a doctors appointment.

Boss proceeded to tell me that I have been sick so much already this year so he doesn’t want to let me have the day off even though I said I want to work from home.

Proceeded to say that I come in with not much enthusiasm and should be more like a sponge since I’m a year out of college.

Told me that I act like a millennial who doesn’t want to work. That I should be a team player since it’s a smaller firm and I rarely ever stay past 5pm.

Told me I think about myself only and even though I ask if there’s anything I can do before I leave, it’s clear I don’t mean that I want to help (though I would heavily disagree with that).

Among other things I don’t feel like writing out atm,…told me he would switch me to hourly because of this instead of salary.

So background:

I got fired from my job before this one for also not working so much overtime and not being so fake excited over the job. I work in the architecture and planning field.

I feel so discouraged. I am scared to leave this job as I have no financial security or assistance from family to help. It took me five months after getting laid off last time to find this job. I’ve been here for 7 months.

I’m so fucking disheartened.
