Well-liked employee gets called for a performance improvement meeting that included HR without him knowing, so he flipped the scene, looked for a new job, and resigned: 'The director called me after, absolutely flabbergasted by his unprofessionalism'

The best Uno reversed situations I have seen in a while.It's funny how managers and bosses have no problem firing someone without much notice or care, but they sure get offended when the burned-out employee they definitely aren't paying enough leaves. It doesn't matter to them if they got notice from the employee; they just get bothered by the fact that they are able to leave the toxic workplace. This story is funny because I love how this employee acted; he did everything perfectly calculated. It gets to a point where even his direct manager had to clap back at him. He got involved in a performance review over one little mistake that was not really that important, got shamed by being asked to hop on a meeting without knowing that human resources was going to be there as well. And he was going to get fired for all that and just thought of a way out. He was a perfectly good employee; making a mistake doesn't undermine all his previous effort, especially as he has been with the company for several years. But to this boss, nothing really mattered. One mistake and you are out? I get that when it is a very big mistake or if it involves a very important client. But this wasn't like that…
