Overview

• The 31-year-old says a foreign employer let him go for non-performance after months of alleged micromanagement, verbal abuse, hourly check-ins, denied overtime, and rejected leave.
• He reports completing a two-week notice period professionally and receiving appreciation from other teams despite the abrupt email dismissal.
• About two months later, he says HR and a senior leader asked him to return, telling him the manager had been warned, and he remains undecided.
• He writes that the manager’s preferred replacement failed an interview, which he believes prompted the outreach to rehire him.
• The post, which has gone viral, drew advice to seek written protections such as a different reporting line and severance, and outlets note the claims stem from Reddit and are unverified.
