In the riveting world of retail drama, our OP faces the classic work-life balance battle. A text awakens them to the urgent call for duty, courtesy of a coworker named Brenda, who seems to have hit a scheduling snag.
Our OP obviously decides to prioritize personal commitments over the unexpected work request. A standoff ensues with the manager, who drops a bombshell: Brenda might have to miss her son's first birthday if our protagonist doesn't come in to save the day.
As the story unfolds, a fiery exchange via text messages erupts between Brenda, the manger and our protagonist. Accusations fly, with Brenda labeling our protagonist a "childless man child." Our OP blocked Brenda's number. Brenda decides to go with another solution to reach OP. Find out more below!
