Ugh, that's just nasty! That's so unsanitary, your boss should really have thought that through. But at least he didn't fire you for real. Poor kid though, now he's going to get sick.

Thank goodness that he pretended and didn't acually fire you. Hope you get better

I sure hope you atleast tried to cover your mouth otherwise that's on you

At least your boss didn't really fire you. There is a little plus and truly this was his fault. still, I'm sorry for the embarrassment. :/

I had a co-worker, a cook, who was very sick and our boss forced him to come in anyway or else he was fired. He did and obviously looked like shit warmed over. When I asked him if he was going to be ok, he said not to worry, he's got it covered. About 30 minutes after opening, a health inspector came in. He took one look at our cook and demanded to know why he was working around food that people were about to eat. He was immediately sent home, with the biggest grin he could manage. The next shift he was on I asked him where does he manage to find pants to hold balls that size. Corporate was contacted. Our boss almost got fired over it.

I know who didn't deserve it - the kid. He seems to have done worst out of this. I hope he gets offered a free meal without snot

Get well but at least you weren't really fired but if that was me I would have giggled for getting a headshot of snot

Well, you didn't get fired so I see nothing wrong

plot twist, your boss wasn't pretending.

You blew it.
