My boss, Howard Jones, said his daughter had gotten into a car accident and urgently needed AB-negative blood. I happened to be the only person in the entire company with the same blood type, so I rushed to the hospital. I rolled up my sleeve and donated a pint. However, when I got back to the office, HR informed me that because I had left without submitting a leave request, my monthly bonus would be docked by 600 dollars. I was furious and went to confront Howard. Without looking up, he said, "Rules are rules. No exceptions for anyone." That was harsh. I gave my notice that same day. Three months later, my phone rang nonstop all day. Howard called me 175 times, but I didn't answer a single one.
