The worst kind of manager thinks they can do literally anything they want, like refuse to pay an employee as punishment. Unfortunately for these types of horrible bosses, there are labor laws that prevent this specific flavor of exploitation. Even if your employee quits their job on the spot, leaving you with an absolute catastrophe at work, you can’t just not pay them for their time. That’s what u/kissmaryjane tried to explain to their boss after they threatened (in writing!) to “charge” OP for not showing up to work.
