I’d say the reply from the boss is enough to justify that response. The boss is chiding him for not putting in a 2 weeks notice, calling him unprofessional. From this one interaction you can make a pretty good assumption as to the quality of the boss. The only proper response to someone quitting is either a counter offer or a farewell, not a guilt trip.
Fuckin managers will fire you with 0 notice, but that’s life and “at will employment”. You fire the business and you have to give 2 weeks because business run “lean” and “at will” is only supposed to be used by the business.
Well, there’s risk and reward in business, and more risk in running lean. Managers can always structure their departments to not be impacted by an inopportune departure. After all, people can get hit by a bus leaving their house in the morning.
Hell, if an employee is that critical, maybe they should be put under an employment contract with set terms and compensation agreement. You know, like most directors have.

It is unprofessional though. And that boss was not really being a dick.
Now this person has to go call the staff to find someone to fill shifts last minute, which everyone hates.
Unless your relationship with your boss is absolutely awful, it’s not hard to give notice.
The “you’re lucky you even got a text” really looks like the employee is toxic.

But we all know these things will never happen.
Sir, this was a shift manager at a Wendy’s, not a VP at FedEx.
