According to the manager, this is “problematic behavior that goes against our culture. Follow through on your commitment. Be reliable.” Be reliable? Culture? I was so close to losing it and screaming in his face. Unbelievable lack of humanity. No consideration for HUMAN circumstances. This is what happens when working for a company with a million employees. I'm nothing more than…
