Work Life Balance: Everywhere rules are made for the convenience of the company and the employees, but what happens when these rules and regulations cross the limits and become a noose around your neck. Something similar happened with this woman, who was asked by her boss to take sick leave when she went to the bathroom. The female employee expressed her pain on social media, after which there was a flood of comments.
Condemnation of the boss who makes illegitimate demands
This female employee recently shared this story on Reddit. He wrote that due to my work, I did not even have lunch many times and worked more than the prescribed hours. But, after spending only 8 minutes in the washroom, I got a message asking me to either take sick leave or return to work immediately. After this, many people came in support of this female employee and started condemning the boss who made illegitimate demands.
Voicemail arrived after being offline for just 8 minutes
He wrote on Reddit that it had only been 8 minutes that I got a voicemail from my boss. He said come online immediately or take leave. I was offline only for eight minutes and they are asking me to take sick leave. I have worked very hard. Many times worked without taking breaks and even after the shift was over. But still I was treated like this.
Now the girl will look for another job as per her qualification
She further wrote that initially she wanted to tolerate this behaviour, but now she will look for another job according to her qualifications. Tired of working in the retail sector. Customers behave badly here. Your seniors use wrong language. Your shift can be changed at any time. They are given work even without qualifications and are paid less than McDonald’s. He wrote that the atmosphere has deteriorated a lot since he first joined the company.
People gave different suggestions
As soon as this post came out, people showed sympathy to him and gave different suggestions. Everyone unanimously described this behavior of the boss as condemnable. A user wrote on social media that legal action should be taken against such people. Another advised the girl to take all her legal breaks without fear. One wrote in a humorous tone that soon the company will also bring a bathroom policy. One wrote that the situation in every sector has become worse in the last 10 years. This is today’s truth.
