There is a type of boss who will take everything from you and then blame you for not trying hard enough. It's not because you're actually not working hard enough. It's because they can't be bothered to think of you as a person. They'll tell you you have no value, and then when you give any indication that you don't need to be around, they'll backpedal while still insisting that it's absurd you could possibly do better. You know, an abusive relationship.
The thing these kinds of bosses seem to forget is that you don't exist exclusively to serve them. You have a life outside of work, and work is just part of your larger, meaningful life. It's when bosses try to keep their employees from living the rest of their lives that they're given an opportunity to show off how desperately inhuman they are capable of being.
And boy is it nice to see an overworked employee make that kind of boss realize that they don't need to put up with all of it. You can almost hear the gears spinning in these jackass bosses heads as they try to come up with reasons that their own undervalued worker "needs" to stay.
For a real good one, here's this guy who let everything burn to the ground after his work messed with his vacation.
