Petty boss refuses employee's request for paid sick leave, then fires employee when she puts in her 5-week resignation notice: ‘At this point I’ve had enough’

Who knew that employees could get sick, thus keeping them out of work for a few days? C-suite executives can't believe it every single time one of their underlings requests some paid sick leave, which is promoted and protected by the law.

No employee should have to worry about their job being in peril because of routine wisdom teeth removals or the less common tonsillectomy. Things happen—the best way to go about the situation is to know when your boss is participating in workplace mistreatment, even with a doctor's note.

In this next story, a woman is advised by her doctor to take off work for 10-14 days after her surgery. The woman's boss opposes the doctor's orders, claiming that she doesn't need that amount of time off. Instead of arguing with her boss, the woman decides to accept an unpaid sick leave instead. In the weeks leading up to her procedure, the woman is increasingly mistreated at work. So, when she gives her boss a lengthy resignation notice, the boss decides to pull a fast one. Scroll to read.
