As we keep learning repeatedly from these r/antiwork posts… A little understanding and flexibility go a long way when managing a team.
This manager exercised that lesson to perfection when they were understanding of their employee's need to take the week off following their semester at school.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by user u/xTylordx. The thread was posted with the title, "Employers, take some notes. This is a good interaction." and features a screenshot of a text exchange between an employee and their manager.
The manager writes, on the day, to see if the employee is still coming in for scheduled training. The employee responds that it was probably their own error and they are unable to come in due to burnout from their other commitments. This is probably not the best look for the employee but the manager takes it on the chin and offers to move it to the next week, showing that wonderful understanding and flexibility.
