Employee Shares His Ordeal After Boss Deny Leave For Getting Injured At Workplace

All around the world, there are many organisations and companies that have a toxic working environment. Boss bullying of their employees is common in many workplaces and is often called out as well. While some people choose to remain silent and adjust themselves to the toxic culture, there are some who openly criticise these unsaid norms. Recently, another incident has gone viral where a man revealed that he wasn’t offered leave despite being severely injured. The employee has shared his experience on social media, and his post has sparked a widespread debate among netizens regarding the working culture and the value of employees.

In a post on the public interactive platform Reddit, a user shared his experience of being denied leave even though he got injured at the workplace. He added that his boss had mistreated him despite giving his all to the company. He wrote, “So background, I work maintenance for a couple of big private schools, my manager is 70 and can’t do shhhiiiiit, I’m full time, we hired another guy to work three days; he immediately cut down to one day, that guy only does projects, no general maintenance, so we hired another casual too, that was two weeks ago and he has called in sick everyday. So I basically held it together, I rolled my ankle today at work and can’t walk without a nasty limp. Instead of acknowledging how valuable I am, I get treated like a pest for being injured.”

The man also posted a screenshot of his conversation with his boss over text messages. He told his boss about his appointment with the doctor and asked for leave. In response, his boss replied by saying that he is making it really hard to get the “general jobs” done. After the post was uploaded, many people commented on it to share their views. One of the users wrote, “Respond with – Oh, thanks for letting me know about your schedule. I’ll drop it off.” Another user commented, “If me being there is so important to anything getting done, then I think you should pay me more.”
