A boss's brutal text exchange after firing a staff member has left thousands of people stunned. British career expert Ben Askins shared the exchange on TikTok and slammed the manager's cold-hearted approach. The shocking messages, allegedly sent between a boss and another employee, start with the manager breaking the news of the termination: 'Did you hear about Matt?'.

'No, what happened?' the employee asked, to which the boss simply responded: 'I fired him this morning'. What followed shocked the other worker - and many on social media. 'What? Why?' they asked, only for the boss to casually reply, 'He was f***ing useless lol [sic]'.

When the stunned colleague questioned if it was a joke, the boss doubled down. 'No joke. Been thinking about it for a while, and then he was late twice this week. I'm too busy to be worrying about whether or not people can be bothered to turn up on time.'.

The conversation took another turn when the remaining staffer raised a practical concern. 'So what are we going to do without him? We're going to have to do extra shifts until we get someone in.'. Unbothered, the boss responded, 'I'll get an ad up today. But yeah, we'll have to power through until we get someone. Don't worry, we got this.'.
