A worker's recent Reddit post is a perfect example: His boss asked the entire team to work tons of extra hours, all because of management's own mistake. AdvertisementThe staff called in sick after their boss asked them to work overtime for free 'to be a team player.' "He actually laughed and said 'This is what being a team player looks like,'" the worker wrote in his Reddit post. AdvertisementThe staff banded together and called in sick the next day to show their boss their value. "Half the department (including me) called out 'sick' today," the worker wrote, which of course sent the boss into a tizzy.
