Today, my boss asked me if I could work this weekend, doing the work of 2 people, for almost no extra pay. I had a weekend out with my kids planned, so I said I couldn't. My boss called it a shitty excuse, yet gave a free pass to a guy who claimed he had a "phobia of working on weekends". FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

yeah but what even would you call that one? weekaphobia? endaphobia? shittyexcuseaphobia?

I don't think it'd be shittyexcuseaphobia because then he'd be afraid of a shitty excuse which is clearly not the case here

The boss probably didn't wanna be in hot water about making a guy do something he claimed to have a phobia for.

Your boss is a real jerk. One reason he is probably treating you this way is because he may be getting down to his last few people to ask and all of them have said no. So he may feel he needs to pressure you into the job.

If he was really pressured he wouldn't have let the phobia guy go.

Maybe the "I have the weekend planned being with my kids" is a phrase he hears amongst the lazy at your job.

Again I say, I am terrible at commenting in my opinion.
