NDTV
According to the memo, the company allegedly states that employees will not be permitted to take leave to care for a sick child.
Every company has its policies and rules when it comes to taking leaves, including sick leave, parental leave, vacation time, and more. These policies can vary widely depending on the company's size, industry, culture, and values. Some companies may have more generous leave policies, while others may be more restrictive. Recently, a company's memo stating that employees' children's sickness is no longer a valid reason to miss work has sparked outrage online. The memo shared on the Reddit forum 'antiwork', allegedly states that employees will not be permitted to take leave to care for a sick child.
The company note read, ''Calling out because your child is sick is no longer a valid excuse to miss work and will now result in a write up. We do not employ your children and as such their sickness is not an excuse for you to miss work. Go, team!''
