I recently experienced a terribly frustrating and unfair situation at work. I had requested a leave of absence which was approved by my manager.
but I was later old that I was going to be fired or have my leave cancelled unless I agreed to certain conditions.
Boss agreed
It all started when I applied for a leave of absence to take care of a family holiday. I was granted the leave for two weeks, which I thought was fair in the circumstances. Before I left, I made sure that all my work was up to date and that my absence wouldn’t disrupt any of my coworkers.
Change his mind
My boss suddenly text me this garbage and told me to go to work. At first, I was taken aback. I had already taken the leave, and I didn’t think it was fair for me to be asked to work extra hours or weekends when I had already taken the leave. I tried to explain my situation to him, but he was not sympathetic. He said that if I didn’t agree to his demands, then I would be fired.
It’s been very difficult, as I’m often exhausted after working long hours and I’m not able to spend as much time with my family as I would like. I’m also worried that my boss might try to use this situation against me in the future.
What should I do?
Here are what netizens think:
- And it’s a win win, you don’t want to work for sometime like that.
- Unless you are making the absolute minimum wage unemployment pay is not a win for the majority of people.
- a wrongful termination suit as blatantly in the workers side as this would be such an easy case for any firm to take. If they live somewhere with wrongful termination laws this would be an easy win.
- Yeah, he should reply back with “ok”. Then show up on the 3rd and 4th. Not on the 5th-10th. Then show up again on the 11th.
