'Sociopathic' | Boss tells employee to reschedule surgery after rejecting leave request

A Reddit post from a disgruntled worker outlines how their boss refused to give them, a long-term employee, time off to recover from surgery, and instead suggested they reschedule the appointment for over Christmas.

The worker explained they were refused time off for surgery recovery despite having only taken three days off in four years and had therefore accrued 320 hours of annual leave to use up.

Yet, despite giving three months notice to her manager, her two-week recovery break, which was due to be scheduled in January, was met with hostility when her boss insinuated the leave would be an inconvenience.

The caption for the Reddit post, which was posted in the ‘antiwork’ thread, read: "Boss told me to reschedule my surgery so it falls over Christmas."
