A man, identified as Somto Ihezue has revealed how he lost his job not long after he declined the attempt of his boss to taste his lunch food.
On X (formerly Twitter), the poet, now employed elsewhere, recounted a past experience from his previous job and detailed what he thinks led to his dismissal by his former boss.
Somto narrated that the incident happened on a specific day when his boss, who was fond of eating workers’ food, started tasting everyone’s food one after another.
But before it got to his turn, he quickly gobbled up his food to prevent his boss from tasting it.
However, his boss knew this and stared into his eyes with a mean look, and just a week after that, he was fired by the said boss for not being a team player.
He wrote, “I got fired from a workplace because I didn’t let the manager eat from my lunch. He always went around eating from everyone’s lunch, so one day, I quickly packed up all of my food before he got to me. He gave me a long, angry stare. I was fired the following week.”
