The unidentified woman said she felt badly treated by her boss, adding that she was unhappy with the size of her salary, according to a report by the Haichao News.
She works in a company in Shangqiu, Henan province. Neither her employer’s information nor her job description is clear in the report.
The woman responded to her boss’s sacking threat in a viral social media post, saying: “I will not leave. I will make him understand the concept of what you get is what you pay for.”
Her boss discovered the woman had taken a long nap after she woke up and took a chocolate snack from his desk to eat.
Her boss, who suffers from glucopenia, almost collapsed in the office because he was not able to replenish sugar in time as a result.
“My boss became enraged. He said I meant to kill him. He gave me a warning, threatening to fire me,” the woman said in the video.
