Text overlay tells frustrating work story from @corporatebridget

The creator shares a personal story about a negative workplace interaction entirely through a text overlay. The text describes calling in sick, being questioned by a manager who demanded a doctor's note, and then discovering the company handbook states a note isn't required for a single day's absence, leading to feelings of being treated like a child. The creator's somber expression in the background video reinforces the frustrating and accusatory nature of the experience.
