Colleagues who are not pulling their weight
Just a rant…I have colleagues who are frequently on sick leave or excused from meetings because their family members (it can be anyone from children to adults) suddenly fell sick and they needed to rush home to take care of them.
Granted we want to take care of the staff welfare so they are always allowed to take the leave (to the extent the management will proudly exclaim that they will let them take the leave without any question asked) but lately it has become obvious that some are taking advantage of the situation.
Also, this is definitely not showing welfare to those who take their work seriously and show up every day because they are expected to pick up the slack and take over the workload. This is basically just punishing people who are earnest and responsible.
Does this issue happen at your workplace? How does the management at your workplace handle this issue?
But what I have noticed is once you are branded as the hardworking ones and you try to take such leave, people will mark you down more compared to those who skived blatantly.
Yet another time responsible people are being penalised over those who don’t even have integrity and do their work properly

- Eh come on man.. have some sympathy… put yourself in their shoes ok??
How would YOU feel if your grandma’s uncle’s big brother passed away for the 3rd time this year already???? - Either suck it up or change company.
Culture doesn’t change overnight and culture starts at the top. You are powerless at your level to change a company’s culture. - This is something u voice out to ur manager, if the dead weight impacts u. For manager to tell u that they are aware and ensuring u are equitably treated, give u more bonus or hire more ppl etc
