Viral News: A recent memo from a company has sparked outrage among its employees and also on the Internet.
The memo stated that illness of employees’ children was no longer a valid reason for missing work, sparking a heated debate online.
The memo, which was shared on Reddit’s ‘antiwork’ forum, stated that employees would no longer be able to miss work due to their children’s illnesses. It said: “Calling in because your child is sick is no longer a valid excuse for missing work and will now result in a penalty. We do not employ your children and as such, your illness is not an excuse for you to miss work. Go team!”
The note surprised Internet users and several users expressed their discontent in the comments section.
One comment read: “I’d stick a note next to it that said, ‘My son has the stomach flu. See you tomorrow.'”
Many people called the note anti-women.
One person wrote: “Realistically speaking, this is mostly an anti-women policy. Nothing new, right?”
“We don’t employ your children, but if we could exploit them for profit, we would. If you need to take care of your children, you will be penalized,” another user commented.
“There are things that make you roll your eyes and say, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’ Other things create resentment and make you work against the company. This is one of them,” said a fourth user.
A fifth user added: “State law issue. Looks like it’s time to unionize. Terrible, terrible management.”
