Viral News: Recent online outrage was caused by a company that has banned every type of leave, such as sick leave, until December 31. Employees must report to work, even if unwell, according to a controversial order posted on Reddit. The company justified its stance, arguing that the period from November 25 to December 31 is among the busiest times of the year and full attendance from staff is required.
The viral memo has caused quite an uproar with users calling it the "tyrannical order." Many asked if the rules were fair enough for the workplace, especially at the height of discussions on toxic work cultures the nation is facing.
The controversy has arisen against the backdrop of widespread criticism about overwork in both the private and government sectors. Just last week, a Pune-based young employee reportedly died due to excessive work. Employees at the market regulator SEBI had earlier sounded warning bells over the toxic work culture at the place of work, citing humiliation in public and too much pressure. The company name remains unspecified, but the policy has renewed calls for workplace reforms and fair labor practices.
