NEW DELHI: Company boss asks employee to take sick leave or unpaid leave for going to the toilet while at work. The woman, who is a reddit user, shared her ordeal. The post went viral within seconds. Bose is receiving heavy criticism.
The woman took eight minutes to go to the toilet while working on a work-from-home basis, which angered the boss. The woman's post goes like this. "I work from home and stepped away from my workstation to use the bathroom this morning. Halfway through my 8 minute bathroom break I got a voicemail from my boss telling me that I either needed to call in sick, take pto or get back online right now. I reiterate, I was offline for 8 god damn minutes and they wanted me to use a sick day. I frequently skip breaks and work past when my shift is set to end. I got this job my second year in college because I was sick of working retail. This job has slowly gotten much worse than retail. The customers are worse, the supervisors don’t care if they verbally abuse you, your schedule can get changed without any notification, they give people work that they legally can’t be asked to do because the company won’t foot the bill to give employees proper qualifications and we get paid less than we would working at McDonalds. It was a decent place for a college student to work at first, but this entire company has gone to hell.' Within minutes, the post went viral and many people came forward with comments.
Many cited several problems they faced, such as verbal abuse by supervisors and sudden changes in work schedules without notice. Not a single person commented in favor of the boss.
