I made my boss cry

This happened over a year ago during Christmas time, so not the one that just happened, the one in late 2020. Been at that job for about 3 years, but the higher ups moved people around our section, and we ended up with a real asshole as manager. This guy was bad! He even ended up with a very unflattering nickname that I don't want to repeat because it uses his real name, but I guess you can understand he wasn't very liked.

I don't even pay for my health insurance because I'm still on my parents'. All of this and I still cannot afford a surgery.
