Elon Musk's Tesla has reportedly taken strict measures to tackle rising absenteeism, with the company reportedly sending representatives to the homes of up to 30 German employees who had called in sick. This aggressive approach has sparked debate on social media, with users sharing their own negative experiences of employers responding poorly to sick leave. A Reddit user asked Indians how their managers reacted when they called in sick, and the answers were a mix of both sad and funny stories.
“Have you ever had managers who actually check to see if you're sick when you're sick?” asked Reddit user “pranagrapher” in the “Indiasocial” community.
The user further wrote, “Managers are so used to crossing boundaries and breathing down the necks of the employees. Everyone complained about the Indian work culture and called it toxic. But what Tesla is planning is just the next level of toxicity .”
The post quickly went viral and sparked a series of comments from Reddit users.
One user said: “My manager once accused me of falsifying the reading on my thermometer (102 degree fever)”
Another user claimed: “I once had an accident and my kneecap was dislocated. Mind you, this happened on the way to the office. When I informed my manager, she instructed me to go to the office for half a day to go.”
“My friend's manager went to his house and dragged the team management to check if the friend was sick as it was a Monday. The management was helpless as the manager pressured him to come too and Finally gave in. Since the manager didn't have the address, he took the address from the transportation team, which provides taxis to employees. Needless to say, my friend filed a complaint with HR,” the third user shared.
One user said her manager once asked her if her period pain was real. “My colleague was asked by her manager if she could postpone taking her menstrual leave to another day if it wasn't too painful, because they had a lot of work and couldn't afford to approve her leave.”
A user shared a shocking incident when the manager asked him to work while he was having an endoscopy. “I once had to have an endoscopy and my former team leader wanted me to work during the procedure without even realizing how the procedure is done.”
