In the workplace, taking time off work is a normal thing for office workers, because everyone will have some urgent matters to take care of. However, how many times have you heard of being fired by your boss for taking time off? Here's a real-life experience shared by a reader, let's take a look:
Xiao Li is a veteran employee who has worked in the company for five years. He has been interested in the workplace since his university years, and he is well aware of the complexities of the workplace. Therefore, after entering the company, Xiao Li has been conscientious and strives to do his best in his work. He is not only a hard-working person, but also often helps colleagues solve some small problems, so he is very popular in the company. Whenever he needed to work overtime, Xiao Li was always the first to stand up and complete the task without complaint.
However, fate suddenly played a joke on Xiao Li. At the beginning of this year, a major event happened in Xiao Li's family: his father died suddenly due to illness. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xiao Li, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom. His father was the closest person to him, and he didn't know how to deal with this sudden change. After a night of ideological struggle, the next day he asked the company for a month's leave, hoping to return to his hometown to deal with his father's funeral. The boss readily approved the leave at that time and expressed his understanding and condolences.
However, when Xiao Li returned to the company after handling family affairs, he found that a strange young man was sitting on his desk. Xiao Li was shocked, walked over and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" The other party looked up at Xiao Li and said with a smile, "You are Brother Li, right?" I'm a new intern in the company who has taken over your job, so you can ask your boss for details. ”
When Xiao Li heard this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He hurried to his boss's office and politely knocked on the door to enter. The owner saw him coming back, warmly beckoned him to sit down, and poured a cup of tea himself. Before Xiao Li could speak, the boss spoke first: "Xiao Li, have you taken care of the affairs at home?" I know you've had a hard time, but there's been some change on the company's side. ”
Then, the boss began to explain the situation in the company. He said: "During this period of your absence, the company's business volume has increased a lot, and we have to temporarily recruit an intern to take over your work. Considering that you have just experienced changes in your family, we feel that you may need some time to adjust, so we will let an intern take your place for the time being. ”
When Xiao Li heard this, he already understood what the boss meant. This is clearly a tactful dismissal. He was silent for a while and said, "I understand, thank you boss for taking care of me during this time." Then, Xiao Li returned to his workstation, packed up his personal belongings, and left the company silently.
The moment he walked out of the company's gate, Xiao Li felt a sour and helpless feeling in his heart. He once gave five years of youth and sweat to this company, but was replaced because of a leave of absence. He secretly made up his mind in his heart: "There is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep him." Such a company is not worth fighting for. ”
The author believes that Xiao Li's experience is indeed distressing, but from another perspective, it also reflects the reality of the workplace. For a business, the proper functioning of the business comes first, and the personal problems of employees are sometimes inevitably overlooked. This also reminds us that we must learn to protect our rights and interests in the workplace, and at the same time, we must be mentally prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
