Every year we have a Black Friday meeting online (retail). Any time there is a mandatory meeting like this, employees on their off day must clock in and attend the meeting from home. Boss A texted the store. I don't mind this, but this time apparently we were doing an in-person meeting beforehand…? Was i supposed to pick that up from just this text message? I didn't know they were implying I needed to be present in person until Boss B texted me. I went to work anyway.
When I got there, Boss A asked me why I looked upset and I said I wanted to be home. That was enough for her apparently and she raised her voice (I am an adult) and told me “Then leave. Leave. Leave. Leave. Leave.” It honestly kind of freaked me out, she started talking about how we need better communication, right after I was open about how I'd rather be at home on my day off. Is this an autism thing that I'm just not understanding?? They know I'm autistic and I've asked multiple times over the years for them to be very clear with their instructions & expectations of me.
Whether or not it's my fault, I think it's absolutely ridiculous she raised her voice at me. I don't think this is the behavior I should be tolerating from a manager. Two other employees, who have since quit, hated working with her, I can see why. I'm rather tolerant and borderline disabled so I can't find a job I'd be more suited for at the moment.
