'Sorry, can't come in today': Employee Calls in Absent for 11 Years After Getting Disciplined for Arriving 22 Seconds Late

Why are micromanagers allowed to manage people, systems, or anything at all? Who put them in charge? They need to be fired, asap.

One employee was fed up with their strict office administrator who wrote them up for being 22 seconds late without notice. Suddenly I feel better about my own managers… 22 seconds? Is that a joke? Apparently not.

The reason that this employee was late was because a stopped train was literally blocking their car in a rural area on their way to work. As soon as they got to work, they immediately told their manager, who was okay with it. But another manager, the one who was in charge of the attendance system, was not. This called for malicious compliance… Scroll down to read what happened, and then check out this woman who showed up at her daughter's workplace in tears after she hadn't answered her calls, and then proceeded to tell her to put a 'tracker on her phone' so she would know where she was at all times. Overprotective much?
