Sick Employee Quits When Boss Tries to Tell Them to Stop Missing Work For Hospital Visits

When this employee missed work due to a serious chronic illness, management called a meeting because they were "Seriously concerned." It wasn't the employee's well-being they were concerned about. Oh no, that would be too obvious, they were concerned with a decrease in KPIs and other performance metrics.

This thread was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit this week where it earned a whopping Thirty-thousand upvotes. Stories like this have been gaining massive popularity online thanks to forums like r/antiwork where workers gather to share workplace horror stories. It's all a piece of the larger Great Resignation that has been taking place worldwide, where people have been quitting their jobs due to poor pay or treatment.

It was posted by Reddit user u/yepdonewiththisshi who describes an incident at their previous job. They were called into a meeting with management due to the amount of leave they had been taking to attend hospital visits for their chronic illness. The poster describes how the meeting came to be as follows.

"I got called into a meeting with the General Manager and the lady a rank below him." The poster writes, "This guy proceeds to tell me that I've taken too much unpaid leave, more than anyone in the company including people overseas, and that I need to stop. He also said in the same breath that he was 'disappointed with my output' and he is 'seriously concerned."

Somehow these managers thought they could bully u/yepdonewiththisshi into not being sick. Yet, they were somehow shocked a week later when u/yepdonewiththisshi handed in their resignation.
