An employee shared about how an employer has restricted people working under him from taking any kind of leave, including sick leaves, on Reddit, and the post went viral and left social media users fuming in anger.

It is common for employers to impose some restrictions on vacation days if there are peak work periods.

However, the notice of a boss regarding vacation restrictions, which clearly mentioned to refrain from taking any sick leave, was not liked by the social media.

The netizens criticised the employer and expressed sorrow for the employees who were stuck in such a workplace.

“Why does corporate think this is ok? God forbid I get sick. Company doesn’t give a s**t,” wrote the individual who shared a picture on Reddit.

Here's how netizens reacted on social media platform

“If you die, you have to inform management 3 days prior,” a Reddit user joked.

“I know a guy who owns a company, and they don't let anyone off during the summer. The staff are overworked, underpaid and the guy treats them like shit. Then he would complain that people keep quitting and that ‘nobody wants to work’," added another.

“There’s this local coffee shop near me. Two sisters own it, and they are so nice. Every January, they shut down for the whole month and still pay all their people. It’s just a way to say thank you and let everyone recharge," commented a third.

“Call in with something highly contagious and say you're still willing to come in, but want to meet with your managers first to make sure it's okay," wrote a fourth user.
