SG employee frustrated as colleague takes 3-5 days of MC almost every month: ‘It can get pretty exhausting’
The employee says he doesn't mind the MC — he minds what happens to the work afterwards. This article ( SG employee frustrated as colleague takes 3-5 days of MC almost every month: ‘It can get pretty exhausting’ ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
An employee in Singapore has expressed frustration on an online forum after a colleague allegedly takes three to five days of medical leave almost every month, causing inconvenience for others. While the employee sympathizes with colleagues who are genuinely unwell, they find the colleague's frequent absences particularly exhausting.
The colleague's tasks would pile up during their absence, leaving other staff members to chase them for help. When the employee asked if their colleague needed assistance, the colleague responded with a "no." The employee seeks advice on how to handle the situation without appearing insensitive. Some Redditors suggested the employee should not bear the responsibility of managing their colleague's workload, as it falls under the manager's responsibility.
Others advised the employee to ignore the issue, focus on their own work, or even consider leaving the company if the situation persists.
