She told her mom she's about to be laid off. Mom filed that away for later.
Typhoon night, an 11pm shift, and one text from mom that ends the argument.

💡 Why is this so unhinged?
Mom takes her kid's upcoming layoff and repurposes it as a reason to walk out of a shift early. Nothing left to lose, so why finish work?vs. the US: "what are they gonna do, fire you?" — except mom said it.Klore note
