Employer Makes Their Worker Pick Between Demotion Or Termination And Gets Accused Of Discriminating Against Her Mental Health

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/Absolut_Failure:

The employee failed to show up for work that day, and the store remained closed throughout her entire shift.

The employee's response confused OP and didn't make a lot of sense.

OP made their employee choose between two options after her neglect.

OP feared they might have reacted poorly, which drove them to consult with the Reddit community.

OP modified the post later to include an "Edit" with more info.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/Absolut_Failure's post:

The employee failed to call and never showed up to work.

OP was kind to give their employee a choice.

The employee's performance was amazing before the promotion.

The way employees behave can cost a business a lot of money.

"Don’t be surprised if she continues with her attitude and ends up having to be terminated."

OP could use the same excuse as their employee.

You can't just say something like that and not explain it.

You can't just say something like that and not explain it.

OP doesn't care as much about the money loss and is worried about their employee's mental health.

OP should tolerate this kind of behavior from their employees.

"Needing a mental health day is all well and good, but this was just irrisponsible..."

The cost is sometimes higher than the benefit.

OP's employee could need some time away.

"Your business cannot depend on what an employee feels like..."

OP was left with no other choice after realizing they couldn't depend on their employee for a task that important. A business needs to run efficiently; otherwise, it won't succeed.
