A man has faced a huge backlash from his boss after he was given a free first class upgrade on a plane and didn't pass it on to her, leaving her stuck in economy.
The man is a frequent flyer with this specific airline and has a credit card with them, so he often gets free upgrades to first class thanks to the flight points he's earned.
But when the pair landed after their conference, the man's manager was livid that he had taken the seat and said he should have followed "protocol" with her being the more "senior" employee.

In the Reddit post, the employee shared how he thought she was being "absolutely insane."
The man, who remained anonymous, wrote: "My boss and I were flying home from a conference. We were on the same flight, but our original seats were not next to each other.
"I'm a frequent traveller on this airline and use their credit card, so I often get free upgrades to first class. I got upgraded on this flight and my boss did not."
After they landed and they were collecting their bags, the boss decided to speak her mind.
"She said she wanted to talk to me about my 'lack of respect for protocol'. She thinks that because the company paid for my original ticket, and she is more senior than me, I should've given her the first class seat," he wrote.
"I think this is absolutely insane. While the company paid for my seat, it's my own personal credit card spending, and frequent travel that earned me the upgraded seat."
In response, many people have agreed with the man that his boss was acting very unreasonably and it was his credit card spending that earned him the free upgrade.
One person wrote: "Sounds like she deserves a nice little chat with HR. That'd take care of your problem nicely. She is way out of line."
Another stated: "Document every little thing she does to retaliate against you or be rude to you."
A third penned: "You need to add that the miles are associated with your personal credit card and non-company travel. She demanded that you give her a personal asset, not a business one."
