以下是经过整理的文字: 我的自负老板因为我拒绝在休息日上班而"解雇"了我。老板一直对我有很高的要求,经常要求我在休息日来上班。我告诉老板我需要休息,但他不愿意理解。终于有一次我坚持不去上班,结果老板气愤地说要解雇我。尽管这种做法很不公平,但最终我还是被迫离开了这份工作。我感到非常沮丧和无助,因为我只是想要一些私人时间,却被当作是不尽责的员工。我希望通过分享这个经历,能引起更多人对工作与生活平衡的重视。

Here is a summary of the story: The original poster (OOP) worked in retail since 2009, and at their last job since 2014. Their boss often canceled their days off and had a toxic work environment. In early 2024, OOP's employer required all employees to attend a training course on a weekend when OOP had made prior plans. OOP refused to cancel their plans, and their boss got upset, threatening to make OOP pay for the training out of pocket. A week later, OOP was "laid off" for supposed slow season, which OOP believes was retaliation. OOP explored getting a lawyer but the cost was prohibitive. When the employer later contacted OOP to return to work, OOP refused. OOP believes the employer may have laid them off expecting OOP to want to return, but OOP was happy to be out of the toxic work environment. OOP qualified for government funding to go back to school, which was an upside. They also heard the employer was having staffing issues, with a long-term manager quitting. OOP is considering contacting an employment lawyer or labor department, but hasn't done so yet due to the cost. The key points are the employer's attempts to force OOP to cancel personal plans for work, the suspected retaliation layoff, and OOP's ultimate happiness at being out of the toxic work environment, even if the legal recourse is still uncertain.
