A conversation between an employee and a boss, who denied a sick leave without a doctor's note, has gone viral on social media and left users furious. A screenshot of the exchange was shared on Reddit by user 'trustmebrotrust'. It shows how the employee was asked to submit a doctor's note for an "excused absence" by the supervisor. "I hate to do this, but I woke up with cold sweats," the employee wrote to his boss, adding that they had "fever creeping up and every part of the body is aching". "I don't think I'll be able to make it today," they stated.
To this, the boss asked for a doctor's note to grant the sick leave. "Please get a doctor's note for an excused absence," the boss wrote.
The employee then responded, "I haven't been to a doctor in like 3 years. I don't have the money to go to a doctor for just a fever, and yesterday I made the equivalent to 8$ a hour, is the doctors visit covered by the (company)".
