Me:. "Because of x, y, and z tasks this week, I was not able to complete a, b, c stories. I will need two days to complete those next week."

Boss:. "you have Saturday and Sunday"

Me: .........

Me: yes i do, and you dont pay me for those.

@C0D4 I wish I had your quick wit at the time 😆

@FlamingServers sadly it comes from jobs full over over time and nothing to show for it.

You get to a point in life where overtime becomes Monday And not the gap in between.

"alrighty, I'll see you when I get back on Wednesday."

"Yea, I'll use both of these days for my personal activities"

Admittedly I'm blunt as you'll find, but never mind the quick wit in these situations. I would have given him a death stare for a few seconds, then said "I'm going to do you the professional courtesy of assuming that was a bad joke. I strongly suggest you don't say that again."

It's a good line to know.

FWIW, if that were me, unless he backtracked hard, that'd likely be enough reason to leave. Saturday and Sunday would be spent applying elsewhere.

@AlmondSauce I am actively looking for another job because of instances like this. This unfortunately is not an isolated case.
