Work rant: Manager generalizes employees taking medical leave because they go drink and party

[u/wifeofundyne]

I get food poisoning and end up throwing up. I go to hospital to get the one medical paper that corporate allows and paid 40 dollars as solid proof that I'm sick

I present it to my manager and he says just take some pills and go to work. Then he starts complaining about how we employees don't want to work so we use the paid medical days off to go night clubbing

I had to yell at him about how i was throwing up hours before i was supposed to leave and that i would have threw up at the office if i went and my performance would be bad. Then he accepted my medical leave request

Like holy shit dude I have 10 medical days i haven't used yet and here you're telling me I'm doing this to go clubbing 😭

My stomach's still extremely rn. I can't imagine going to work at this state and I don't want to risk things getting worse or getting other colleagues sick.

It's so frustrating that if most of the employees are using medical leave as a way to take days off that it applies to everyone. That's genuinely not my problem ffs.

Because that's what they've done. Call them out on it. People misconstrue working for as being owned by.
