Boss demotes managerial employee for taking 2 months of sick leave, faces consequences of rash decision making: 'I told my former staff to direct ALL questions to my boss'

No matter how some bosses would like to pretend otherwise, human employees are not machines. Even the most healthy and robust of people can run into surprise health issues, and newsflash, target obsessives, stress and overwork are incredibly common reasons for somebody to need to take sick leave.

When somebody is dealing with an unhelpful boss or a cutthroat corporate company, being ill is the worst thing that can happen to a worker trying to make a living. Heck, it can prove deadly even in a more liberal workplace. Even though a period of poor health can occur through no fault of the individual experiencing it, the consequences often make their situation that much more difficult.

Management can make or break the unfortunate occurrence of going through health troubles while being an employee. While it doesn't always happen, this makes it extra satisfying for somebody who has dealt with the more negative side of this to get their revenge.

This is something that one programmer and department manager managed to benefit from. After taking 2 months of leave because of their poor health, their boss decided they were no longer competent enough to be a manager and requested that they stick to programming.
Advising their former team to direct all queries to this higher up, things soon unraveled for him, and eventually became much better for the programmer. They shared their story.
