Unfortunately, many individuals struggle with maintaining boundaries. This lack of awareness can manifest in various aspects of life, including the professional sphere. When such individuals find themselves in leadership roles, their employees often suffer the consequences of their inconsiderate behavior. As TikToker Mish experienced, this can take egregious forms. She had to deal with an intrusion from her boss after she called in sick. Apparently, he thought it was acceptable to walk into her house uninvited and request to take her into work.

A woman was in for a rude shock when she called off work because of a stomach bug just for her boss to show up at her bedside
He thought that she didn’t want to drive in and he offered to drive her so she could still work
“I was working at a restaurant and I lived about 15 minutes away from the restaurant in the middle of nowhere”
“I was living with a roommate in a house and his bedroom was on the first floor and my bedroom was upstairs on the second floor. One morning I woke up and I was feeling like complete s**t. I had a stomach bug and I decided to call out of work that day.”
“Obviously, I shouldn’t be working in a restaurant with a stomach bug. I called up my boss, I talked to him in person. He says, okay, whatever, that’s fine. I told my roommate that I’m really sick and I’m gonna go back to bed and go to sleep. In the mornings, my roommate really liked to smoke, play the guitar and sing. So with me being sick trying to sleep upstairs, he decided he would go outside out in the back of my house and kind of sit in the grass and do that.”
“Guess he left the door unlocked thinking like, he’s right there, he’s not going anywhere. But my boss pulled in the driveway. And he claimed he didn’t hear anybody pull in. My boss claims that he knocked on the door, nobody answered. So he just felt that the doorknob was unlocked and kind of pushed the door open and came in. He claims he said my name a few times walked around, didn’t see me or hear me so he went upstairs.”
“That’s when I woke up and he’s standing at the foot of my bed kind of waving at me”
“Like ‘hey, hey, I know that you called out but maybe you just don’t want to drive and I’ll drive you in and then you could still work.’ At that point, I woke up. I literally thought I was having a fever dream. I finally came to him, like why are you doing like, this is not okay, you need to get out of my room. I’m not coming into work. This is crazy. He did end up leaving. My roommate said that he saw him on his way out, kind of waved to him, but didn’t think much of it and thought maybe I invited him over. Which I did not.”
“He ended up laying me off a few weeks later because I broke up with my ex boyfriend and he went really crazy and was harassing me and calling the restaurant, which obviously isn’t okay. The day that he actually ended up laying me off, my ex egged the building, because he thought it would be funny that I’d have to come into work and clean it. But that same exact day, my boss laid me off because he thought I egged the building, even though I was like, why would I egg the building that I’m going to have to go out in the hot sun and scrub? It just doesn’t make sense.”
