'[Boss] picks NOW to treat me like a child': Hospitality worker gains 5x more sick time off after boss forces them to go to a doctor

'[Boss] picks NOW to treat me like a child': Hospitality worker gains 5x more sick time off after boss forces them to go to a doctor

Why do so many bosses choose to pick on their most hardworking employees? Maybe it's a power thing---the boss still wants to feel in charge, even though they see their employee working autonomously. As an employee in the hospitality field, this person had been enjoying the job for about 18 months before any issues arose. “I am a good noodle,” u/PughpunkBC insisted, adding that they would work nights and never miss their shifts. Their rapport with their boss was all good until the moment the emp…

‘That is a complete violation of my privacy’: Boss spies on employee on sick leave to make sure he is actually sick and not on vacation

It might be hard to come to terms with the concept, but there should be total and complete trust between a manager and their employees. If a manager is unable to trust that their employees are there to do the best they can, then maybe managing is not the best thing for them. Not to say there aren't any employees who take advantage of a job, but if an employee feels like they are not trusted and are being observed with every step they take, they are definitely not going to stay at that job for l…

'I had the plague': Sick teacher forced to come into work after calling out sick; admin thought they called her bluff but were horrified by her arrival

It seems like managers are always skeptical about whether or not their employees are actually sick. Perhaps it's a worker's inherent guilt of leaving your team in a bind with your absence, but most likely it's because managers don't trust their staff. Truth is, most people only have a handful of PTO to use per year, so workers would rather show up ill to the office once or twice a year instead of forgoing their 2 week trip to Bermuda.

'You shouldn't be here': Bartender calls in sick, but boss forces him to come to work anyways; gets saved by boss's mother who pulls the 'mom' card to send him home

Being sick as a little kid isn't so bad because you have Mom around to feed you soup, press her hand on your forehead, and tuck you in for a nap. If she says you're too sick to go out, you're too sick to go out. As an adult, you're forced to gauge your own illness, which, as mother always said, means you're going to be sick for weeks. In this case, OP tried to do the right thing by calling in sick to work, but his unyielding boss wouldn't allow it.

'I haven't had a sick day in nine years': Boss forces employee to come in so he can decide if she's actually sick, she gets him sick

'I haven't had a sick day in nine years': Boss forces employee to come in so he can decide if she's actually sick, she gets him sick

Being sick comes with the territory when you are a literal human being. If employers can't accept that reality, then they shouldn't be your employers. To continue with that concept, anyone who brags about not having taken a sick day in nine years on the job clearly has a poor grasp on their work-life balance and their general well-being. Once again, this mentality is reminiscent of the engulfing generational divide that has come to plague our workplace environments and culture. Who knows how to…
