Nowadays, such incidents are becoming very common, where employees are not able to take leave comfortably even when they are ill, because some managers or bosses put pressure on them instead of understanding them. The same thing is visible in this Reddit post also. The employee had conjunctivitis (severe eye infection). Which is not only painful, but can also spread quickly to others. In such a situation, it is better not to go to office. But instead of showing sympathy, his manager behaved badly, which made the employee feel that his health was not cared for. The caption of the post read, “Some managers are so cruel and inhuman that if they had lived in the olden times, they would have been beaten to death and cut into pieces by the public for their actions.
Post viral on social media
A post went viral on Reddit when an employee said that her manager treated her very poorly due to her illness. The employee said that he had joined the company in May this year and had developed conjunctivitis (severe eye infection) since last Friday. He wrote that on Tuesday the doctor had advised him to take rest for a week and this was also written on the medicine prescription.
But on Friday, when his eyes started bleeding, he got scared and sent information about his condition and the doctor’s prescription to his manager on WhatsApp. The manager gave a surprising reply – “Talk to HR. I will not work with you in future.
You are not doing anything.” Seeing this reply, Reddit users became angry. People said that the manager’s attitude was very inhuman and the employee was just following the doctor’s advice.
People’s reaction on Reddit
Many users supported the employee and wrote that they too had to face similar ill-treatment in their office during their illness. One user asked, “Why are you telling all this on WhatsApp?” Another advised, “Next time just tell them you’re sick, then turn off the phone and rest — because people like this only understand when they don’t get an answer.” Another said, “How do managers like this get away with such bad behavior?”
