'[A] good lesson for him:' Entire team calls out ‘sick’ after one coworker is forced to come in unwell, now the boss is covering the entire senior staff the week before Christmas

Did you ever think that maybe something that is not a big deal to you is a big deal to someone else? Maybe that's something you should respect. That's kind of an obvious train of thought to most people. However, to most upper management, it must seem like gibberish because, apparently, they are the masters of the universe and whatever they say must be the end-all-say-all… Why are so many managers and bosses like this? An instance of upper management gaslighting something that is a big deal to o…

'I'm suddenly feeling feverish': EMT gives his 2-week notice then learns he will be shorted PTO, uses all of his sick days in his final two weeks

According to the Feds, employees are only allowed to get sick 3 days out of the year. At least, PTO and sick leave is intentionally convoluted and in America, some people actually feel guilty taking sick days (even when they ARE sick) because they have that vacation to Bermuda later in the year that they're saving those days for. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of a sick day? We should just call it what it really is: Floater days where you're paid to not work.

'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…

‘Bank Robber (texting via my phone): Your employee is tied up right now’; Workers share the best excuses they have actually had to use for not coming into work

We have all had to call out of work for whatever reason. Maybe you're not feeling well so you call in sick. Or maybe you're just feeling the pressures of capitalism and need a mental health day. Or maybe you missed a flight. Whatever it is, you tend to keep it brief and hope for the best. At least that's the usual consensus. However, there are some employees who work for toxic managers who don't trust their excuses and pry for more and more proof of why they are missing work. Well, when they do…

‘I’m literally throwing up at work': Millennial employee gets accused of faking sickness to get out of work, boss threatens to fire them if they don't finish their shift

‘I’m literally throwing up at work': Millennial employee gets accused of faking sickness to get out of work, boss threatens to fire them if they don't finish their shift

Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.
