April Fool's Backfires: Boss Pulled A Stupid Prank, Ends Up Fired Instead!

Despite being a comedic talent, professionalism is vital in the workplace. Knowing the limits of humor is crucial, especially with power dynamics. Unfortunately, the main character in this story missed the mark.

An employee's story of an ill-judged April Fools' joke has gained viral attention online, with internet users outraged by the story. Reddit user Savathun posted on r/antiwork about an unwelcome experience: getting fired. But things took an unexpected turn when the boss who delivered the news revealed it was just an April Fools' joke.

Rather than brushing it off, Savathun took the matter seriously instead of returning to work quietly. This will be a lengthy story, which you can read for yourself by scrolling down.

Personally, I believe such actions should be punishable. Regardless of the boss-employee relationship, this prank was inappropriate. It's clear the boss's intent wasn't playful, as April Fools should be.
