“By the way I came out as transgender this year, I go by allie now. but if you ever see a resume for Althea that’s mine haha,” Allie wrote.

The Boss responded: “I’m identifying as a DOG now.

“I stay home and sleep all day and lick my balls. Wait for people to feed me.”

Allie replied: “Idk if you think I’m kidding but i’m 100% serious and find your ‘joke’ offensive.”

The boss didn’t back down.

“Good luck with the job hunting woof woof,” the prospective boss wrote back.
