Boss Lashes Out After Employee Refuses Weekend Work: "Make Me Quit" https://ift.tt/wEClh9V Employees worldwide struggle with the challenge of weekend work and manage to set boundaries, while others face pressure to extend their hours. A Delhi-based video editor recently experienced this firsthand and took to Reddit to share screenshots of their boss's unexpected and frustrated reaction to their refusal to work on weekends. Having joined a marketing company in December with the expectation of a relaxed work culture-an impression formed through its social media presence- the employee shared the exchange to highlight the stark contrast between the company's image and reality. "Reality soon changed with massive amounts of changes and weak briefs," he said. He added that he edited a video in 55 minutes and left the office at 7:30 pm, which is the office time. He said he got some changes that needed to be made to the video at around 8:30 pm. "Need it for posting tomorrow afternoon, please get it down," the boss was seen saying in a screenshot of a WhatsApp Group conversation the video editor shared. "I won't be able to take this up as I don't work on weekends. I can share the project file. Let me know if that works," the Reddit user replied. The boss asked the video editor to send an email "saying exactly this" before asking him to see him on Monday. "What kind of a f*****g response is this?" the boss said after the editor agreed to see him on Monday. The Reddit user said he has been clear about not working on weekends, to which his boss replied saying, "Wow. Simply wow." The post soon went viral across social media platforms. A user wrote, "Ofcourse how can you not work on weekends? You are a robot who needs to work 24*7." Another user commented, "Been there, startup companies CEO usually behave like this. I wish i could expose him and his team for behaving unprofessional and rude. left within 3 months. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER." "I am glad that person took a stand for themselves. More power to whoever you are mate," the third user wrote. https://ift.tt/VtGwiUy March 02, 2025 at 08:29AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Employee's Response To Manager's Video Meeting Rule Wins Praise Online https://ift.tt/OADWSsN An employee whose strict manager reprimanded him for keeping his camera off during a virtual meeting is receiving praise for the way he dealt with him. In a Reddit post, the employee shared an incident from 2021 when his manager, Mark, asked him to turn on the camera, unaware he was undergoing treatment in the hospital. Describing his manager "as stricter to the rules," he said Mr Mark didn't allow chitchat in the team and wasn't aware of his chronic illness. He decided to keep his camera off during the meeting to avoid discomfort and thinking it wouldn't be a problem. He was immediately called out by the manager to switch on his camera. He wrote, "I get onto the call and Mark immediately comments that he can't see my face. I tell him that I've not got my camera on today and don't elaborate, figuring that it's a 15-minute call and I could just as easily be driving or something." Mr Mark then asked him to stay back on call after the meeting was over and scolded him for not complying with the rules. He said, "Mark chews me out for not turning on my camera, saying that it's a rule that we all need to show our faces." The employee then turned on the camera, revealing a hospital setting, leaving the manager speechless. "I turn on my camera and watch his face go from red to white as he sees me in what is very clearly a hospital room," he wrote. The employee chose to keep their health confidential and just said that he was uneasy showing up on camera while receiving treatment. Continuing further, he wrote, "His sweaty little face still brings me joy. It was a really nice moment to bask in, and I think about it pretty often when I get managers who like rules just a little too much." Turn my camera on? Fine... byu/scissorfella inMaliciousCompliance Social media users appreciated the way he responded. One user wrote, "The only way that could've been better is if you turned it on in the meeting and caused him to get sweaty face in front of everybody on the call." Another commented, "Any manager who always thinks that everyone on their team is trying to get one over on them needs re-training. These aren't children and you're not Daddy. Trust the people you work with." A third user wrote, "Attending work meetings from a hospital bed. American work culture is really something." Over the last few years, the employee-employer relationship across industries has undergone transformation, with work-life balance and mental health becoming an important part of the discussion. There's been a massive pushback to toxic practices in workplaces, with employees making their bosses aware of the discomfort their behaviour caused. https://ift.tt/D9QyStg February 27, 2025 at 04:18PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
