A shocking case of unprofessionalism has left a single mother from East Texas stunned after her boss fired her in a late-night text message that he claimed was sent while intoxicated. Real estate agent Kristin McCarley took to TikTok to share a video of the exchange, which began with her boss's message at 10:36 pm on Saturday, 'Do not come in Monday.' The message continued with 'I've made changes to the office' and ultimately ended with 'I have to let you go.' In a bizarre twist, McCarley received a second, unrelated message from her boss at 1:07 am, which included a screenshot of a photo from her social media account. The move has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for McCarley to escalate the issue to the company's HR department and even suggesting she consider a lawsuit. Workplace expert Roxanne Calder weighed in on the matter, stating that firing someone over a text message is 'impersonal' and indicates a cultural shift towards avoidant communication. Calder explained that the pandemic has normalized this distance, with managers treating terminations like any other task, rather than the serious, human impact it has on employees. The incident has raised questions about the boundaries of workplace communication and the responsibilities that come with being a manager. While McCarley's boss may have intended to send a simple message, the consequences of his actions have left her stunned and seeking answers.
