Well, this situation definitely wasn’t handled the right way.

In fact, I’d even say that it was straight-up DUMB.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that you’re gonna agree with me!

In today’s story, a worker explained why he got pretty ticked off about how his manager handled his leave of absence from work.

Take a look!

My job called my emergency contacts and threatened to send police.

“I’ve been out of work pending a leave of absence.

I’ve been calling/emailing my supervisor every day like I’m supposed to until my leave of absence is approved/denied.

Today at 12:30 pm, my supervisor left me a voicemail saying she hasn’t been getting my voicemails and emails are not protocol for calling out.

She also stated that she’s been having issues with her phone system so it’s possibly the reason she hasn’t gotten my voicemails.

Note: she’s told me directly that leaving a voicemail if I’m not going to be is okay and I don’t necessarily have to speak directly to her for confirmation.

Uh oh…

Well apparently she also called and left a voicemail for one of my emergency contacts at 12:30 pm (same time she left one for me).

In her voicemail she said she would have to send police out for a welfare check if she doesn’t hear back soon.

I immediately called her and left a voicemail then emailed her on our company email, CC’d her boss as well.

Come on!

Around 1:50 pm she calls my other emergency contact and again threatens to send police if she doesn’t hear back soon.

This emergency contact is my mother who is neurotic.

She immediately calls me freaking out.

So I called my supervisor and actually got through to her this time but of course she’s in a meeting and will call me back later, also calling police is “protocol”.

I went and sent an email to her supervisors supervisor because her supervisor is currently out of office.

This is so dumb…

I tell them basically how I feel about being threatened with police, how I was recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety, (literally yesterday), how my emergency contacts suffer from their own anxiety etc and it’s not okay.

At this point, I don’t know if I’m comfortable returning to work under her supervision.

There are other supervisors I can transfer to who work in the same office/same department/responsibilities.

I think it’s time I look for a different job.”

What was the point of this?!?!

Getting someone’s mother all riled up for nothing?

Not cool!

Let’s just say that this company isn’t being run very well…
