My Boss purposefully got my vehicle towed because I parked in &quot;his spot&quot;, and now my car is held hostage by the impound company until I pay. from antiwork   If you need an example of why people don&#39;t want to work, look no further than this example of sh*t behavior by management, where the employee is now forced into an ultimatum because of some petty grievance. This all took place today.  My boss is rather aggressive, but there&#39;s no one to go to in order to address his behavior.
