So then my boss calls me b/c he's out of his meetings to tell me that I was giving everyone a hard time and why wasn't I a better team player.
"Boss, I'm not a team 'player'. I'm a 'worker'. As in I get paid to do my job, I'm not here because it's a charity. If you don't pay me then I can't pay my bills and I can't get my work done. So why don't YOU be a good 'team player' and get me MY FUCKING MONEY, NIKKA."

that's what you should have said.
