TikTokers supported Freddie after he posted the video, but some of them have turned on him after he posted a second TikTok video on March 5
Freddie's boss described the day he missed as an 'all hands on deck day' before he began his phone call rant.
'I know you allegedly broke your hand... The only acceptable reason to call out is an illness that is contagious,' his boss stated.
'Otherwise, you're expected to show up.'

Freddie's supervisor said he did not tell him about the issues to make him feel guilty, but that he wants Freddie to be inspired.
'When one of our team members is down, the whole team feels it,' he said.
Freddie's boss then requested that he call him back and concluded the phone call by calling him 'bucko.'
Social media users were not happy about the voicemail and most of them disliked what the server's boss called him.
TikTok users that commented on Freddie's March 1 video were annoyed with his boss and were especially upset that he referred to the server as 'bucko' in the voicemail
'Anyone who calls you "bucko" in an authority based relationship has no respect for you at all,' a TikToker wrote.
'I let clients go when they talk to my staff like that.'
Other users suggested that Freddie get a lawyer 'immediately' and that he had the right to call out.
'You can actually call out for whatever you want - they legally can't ask you why...,' another user wrote in the comment section.
