Remember the Amazon fiasco where we learned that employees had to pee in bottles so as not to get written up for taking a break? If that wasn't bad enough, some of their workers had to work through an actual tornado and died when the tornado hit then caused the warehouse to collapse.

It's a terribly sad reality that workers are made to endure inhumane conditions during our nine-to-five grind. We read and hear stories after stories but there seems to be no end to what we must endure in order to survive.

This one worker will probably have different feelings about having dogs in the workplace after his encounter with his boss' dog. Dogs typically brighten up a dreary office based on what we've seen on social media.

OP spends most of his days in a cubicle in one of those offices that need cheering up. He certainly didn't think he would end his workday with a dog bite.

His boss brought his dog to the office to everyone's surprise. It was an unplanned visit because the boss' dog-sitter canceled on him at the last minute.

That wouldn't be a big deal if it were any other dog but the boss' dog was behaving aggressively towards everyone. He was unleashed and growling at everyone.

Some of OP's colleagues asked their boss to keep the dog inside his office but he refused because his dog was a good boy

The dog was outside OP's cubicle and it suddenly bit OP's leg with no provocation

OP yelled and his coworkers gathered around him. During the commotion, OP's boss finally leashed his dog but the damage has been done.

OP's boss blamed him for everything and when OP expressed his intention to go to the hospital, his supervisor told him to finish his shift but they backed down when OP threatened to sue.

This is not a simple issue that management can cover up with a pizza party

OP is so right to prioritize his health first. You don't join the anti-work subreddit without learning a thing or two.

OP's boss has to pay the result of his negligence

He sucks big time and after an incident like this, he might not be a boss for too long

OP should get a really good lawyer to get all of the paper work in order

You cannot downplay how serious rabies is

It is not out of the realm of possibility that OP's boss is not a responsible dog owner based on his reaction to what happened

The moment OP is out of the danger zone, he should really take his boss to court

There are plenty of witnesses and let's hope they are willing to side with OP

Simple, succinct, effective

OP can either ask his lawyer to obtain the CCTV but in case the boss has any funny ideas about deleting the footage, it can't hurt to ask his former colleagues for help

A similar thing happened to this commenter's mom. Dog owners — please, leash your pets.

The dog owner probably thought they could get away with it

The smugness was quickly erased when she was told her dog had to be euthanized

It is unfortunate that there are irresponsible dog owners who seem to think their dogs can do no wrong. If you do not train your animal, you refuse to leash it, and you take no responsibility when another person is affected, then you have no business owning a dog.

Dog bites are not something you can overlook either, rabies is literally life-threatening. Hopefully, OP's boss realizes how badly he messed up and how much he and his company have to pony up.
