‘Hope your...: Employee fakes sick leave for Coorg trip, gets caught dancing in viral reel; boss's reaction leaves internet in splits
In a bizarre incident, an employee faked having a 'stomach flu' to skip work and enjoy a fun weekend trip to Coorg, which turned into a nightmare. The employee claimed to have been exposed in a Reddit post after being noticed by his boss in a viral vacation video.
The employee shared a video of himself enjoying a trip to Coorg last month. He captioned the Reddit post, mentioning, "Last month I took Friday off for a trip to Coorg. Told my manager I had stomach flu. Got tagged in a background reel of someone dancing at the homestay."
The video quickly went viral and blew up on Instagram with 13K likes.
How did the boss find out about the viral reel?
The employee later revealed in the post that on Monday, his skip-level manager sent the reel link and said, 'Hope your stomach is better.'
Further, he thanked God that he is still employed, but since the incident took place, none of his work-from-home requests have been approved by his manager. 'He doesn't trust me now,' he added.
The post sparked discussion on social media, and some even shared their own experiences.
Netizens react to the viral post
As soon as the post surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral, and netizens started sharing their reactions to it. One wrote, "Wish the social media team would have noticed this for some tips."
"Deleting insta rn," another added.
While one said, "This is hilarious."
Well, such incidents are not uncommon. In our everyday lives, we come across stories of overly cautious, toxic bosses who are also common. In an unrelated post, an employee made a shocking claim about her boss that she is asking her to send her GPS location even while she is on leave.
The woman wrote on Reddit that she applied for leave due to the cancer surgery of one of her family members.
