'HR is not your friend': Man is brought back to life after suffering a heart attack, HR thinks he should already be back in the office

We've all been through our fair share of workplace drama, or at least witnessed it from the sidelines, totally engrossed in Karen's fierce threats to the higher-ups, eagerly anticipating her to get the boot. Or something like that. You know, the usual office soap opera.

But what about this? Have you ever actually d*ed, got shocked back to life by a defibrillator, and then tried to spend the next few months recovering from the surreal "life flashing before your eyes" moment? No? Well, it actually happened to our fellow Redditor, the OP.

You'd think work would be the furthest thing from his mind, right? I mean, the guy just narrowly escaped the Grim Reaper's grasp. But oh no, HR was there, tapping their fingers impatiently, expecting him to be back at work, like, yesterday. Even though his doctors insisted on a minimum of three months of rest, HR wants him there five days a week. Keep scrolling to catch all the juicy details and hear what some other Redditors had to say about this wild situation.
