Sounds petty from what you describe. Could their have been some miscommunication, as in some assumptions made about what was understood on both sides ? Ask that only because from both the worker and manager side, I've had some unpleasant surprises on that score.
But certainly no shortage of 'bosses' in this world who are completely unsuited to manage other people.

This is regardless that she, my wife, had notified her intentions well before anyone else knowing that this was what the boss required.
There is employment here in Straya titled 'casual'. Pays good rates above, "full time' and 'part time' which are set rates. Casual means you are at the determination of the 'boss' at short notice. This means the 'roster' maker can change your shifts at that short notice. If you have a whinge' or complaint about that then forget about getting hours. You can be passed over for work. It's 'casual rates'. That's it. Either that or you're unemployed. So she works her 40 hours a week.
In my mind its a power thing for a supervisor or boss. 'True love' has never displeased anyone and to my regard is a loyal and honest worker. Maybe I'm biased. But in real Australian terms you don't eff your workers or 'mates' for that matter.
My missus has gone to work and that silly game on TV is progressing. She didn't have time to sit down and appreciate her fav sport. Clean pressed uniform on, I made her some overnight dinner and she's off to work (bout an hour away) for another nightshift.
She'll be back home in the morning tomorrow, bout 7.30am. We'll load up with wood for another delivery. This is why I hate bitchy hormonal bosses who disregard hard workers even for one night.
My tragic weaknesses are in this respect.
Don't mess with my partners feelings. There is a follow on and after effect at home.
Mess with my partner, (best mate) you mess with me.
Wouldn't recommend exercising undue control over my mate, she's an angel. Your time will come.
My best mate estimates me. We're a team. You're a fool to underestimate her.
I could go on Cav but that may be a little boring.
Simply putting forward, for a simple reason, don't be nasty to a person who hasn't a bad bone in their body because there is another who will stick up for that person who has a bone to pick.
Kind regards and cheers for your thoughtful reply,
Bally.
