    The meek “please call me” was after the manager found out from upper management that they were far more replaceable then Caleb was.

      Nah, “call me” always means “let’s make this a real-time social hierarchy game, because I’m good at exploiting verbal cues and expectations to shove people toward my desired goal.”

      Or it’s the manager seething with rage, wanting to vent that rage, but not being able to do it adequately via text message.

      Exactly. If Caleb had it in writing that he was going to be paid regardless then the dude had some serious leverage.
