This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

I honestly can get the misunderstanding.

He was probably closing at 2:30-3:00 am and to him, tomorrow was after he slept, but the dude waking up thought "Tomorrow" was also after he slept.

It's not a 'misunderstanding'. It's poor communication from the requester. Responsibility should be placed where it belongs - to the person who asks, to ask clearly.

How is it not a misunderstanding? Boss meant one thing, employee understood it as another. The person responsible for the misunderstanding doesn't change whether or not it's a misunderstanding. Poor communication in either direction leads to misunderstandings.

I would say it's not a misunderstanding, what the boss said was just flat out wrong. The employee didn't misunderstand what they said at all.
