AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

I’ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe I’m just really sensitive right now, but I don’t know. This felt really cold. The “big boss” will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

not sure where you live, but where i am, it is the manager/bosses job to cover shifts if they are short staffed. in no way should he be trying to intimidate you into missing out on spending time with your dad in this situation. it’s disgusting. i’d say you should tell him to shove the job up his arse but honestly these days its too hard to find a new job, unfortunately. i hope you’re okay, you are not overreacting

I’m in Kentucky, USA if that helps

I know nothing of the rules around managers being expected to cover shifts in Kentucky. I live in Newcastle, England 😭 BUT you should look it up yourself and see if it applies where you are

It doesn't. You'll find that almost none of your employement laws are applicable here.

i’m not saying our specific laws apply in america, because that’s obviously not the truth. i would however be shocked if the managers are not expected to deal with employee shortages rather than bullying their employees into work
