In a disturbing display of toxic workplace culture, a manager’s shocking response to an employee’s car accident has left the internet outraged. The incident came to light when a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user @kirawontmiss went viral, revealing a cold-hearted conversation between the two.
After surviving a serious car accident and sending a photo of the wrecked vehicle to the manager, the employee expected some understanding. Instead, the manager bluntly replied, “Keep me updated on what time you’re expecting to be here.”
As if that wasn’t enough, the next day, the manager sent another message, stating, “Anything that prevents you from being at the workplace other than a family member’s death is unexcused.” This callous response sparked a social media storm, with users voicing their disbelief.
One user wrote, “Managers like this are terrifying. How heartless can someone be?” Others shared horror stories of insensitive bosses, fueling a wider conversation about toxic work environments.
This viral exchange has drawn attention to the alarming disregard for employee well-being and has sparked debates about the need for empathetic leadership in today’s workplaces. Could this be a wake-up call for companies to rethink how they treat their employees in crisis?
