Latest in an occasional series, awful employer of the day goes to this boss and their exchange with an ill member of staff who was unable to come in because of a stomach bug.

‘As a consumer of food, I prefer that people handling my food call out if they’re sick…I’ll deal with slower service.’

‘How does texting indicate you’re fine to still come in?

‘If you went all the way to a Dr, checked in, waited in the waiting room, was examined, then given a Dr note, I think you’d be able to send a quick text… Then if you actually couldn’t text because you’re that sick you’d be a ‘no call no show’ and fired for not giving notice.

‘Managers like this just like being assholes. His next complaint will be how he can’t find loyal consistent workers because ‘nO oNe wAnTs tO wOrK aNyMorE’ even though he pulls this shit.’
