‘Is this even legal…?’: Employee Faces Disciplinary Action For Alleged ‘Emotional Instability’

A TikTok user named @gingerbren was written up at work for being “emotionally unstable” after she disagreed with another employee over a confusing rule.

In the video, she explains it’s unfair because she didn’t cause any real problems, and she has some documented disabilities that her boss didn’t consider.

People on TikTok argued about whether it was right or wrong, but the employee wants everyone to understand that invisible disabilities should be taken seriously at work, and we should all be more understanding and supportive of each other.
