Trust and support are fundamental to motivating your team to do well at work. Unfortunately, some managers don’t quite understand some of the basics of leadership and only ever aim to punish others. At times, these punishments are beyond ludicrous. And some management decisions specifically discriminate against remote workers.
Case in point, Reddit user u/SpecterGygax, who works remotely, recently went viral on the r/antiwork online community after sharing just how much their boss micromanages them. They received an actual warning for going to the bathroom, during which time they were offline for a few minutes. Scroll down for the full story, as well as the internet’s reactions.
Bored Panda reached out to the author of the story, u/SpecterGygax, and they shared some more context about what happened, as well as what proper support in the workplace should look like. You’ll find our full interview with them as you read on.
