'My boss keeps calling me when I'm home with pneumonia': Boss texts sick employee 15+ times asking for 'quick tasks'
There are bosses with empathy, and then there's this dude. U/yodascousinkevin told this surprising story of what happened when they came down with a bout of pneumonia, only to find out their boss just would not leave them alone.
We all want to feel unique and special and irreplaceable at our jobs. We want to think that the work we do is exceptional, and that the place just wouldn't run the same without us. In reality, everyone is replaceable. No one told that to the OP's boss, though, who is acting like the building's on fire without them there. They're quite literally treating the OP like the company can't run if they miss even a single day of work.
Interestingly, in the comments, no one could agree who was in the right. Most encouraged the OP to report their boss's rapid-fire messages to HR, and told them they weren't the a-hole. A few others said the OP should have known better than to have no replacement for them, but that's more of their boss's responsibility than the OP's. And finally, others said everyone sucks here. They believe it'd be rude for the OP to block their boss's number. Maybe HR will let the OP do that anyway, and give the boss a scolding for bothering OP while sick in bed.
Next up, these employees got fired at light speed for making hilariously dumb mistakes.
