A man in Beijing is facing heavy pressure in his life, and many relatives in his family have suffered from illness one after another, including his father, mother, wife having a second child, his eldest son is sick, and his newborn is also sick. This series of unfortunate events forced him to take continuous leave, and after exhausting his paternity and annual leave, it was still insufficient, so he took 37 consecutive days of personal leave. Feeling the financial strain on an employee's frequent leave, the company refused to approve it when he asked for leave again, and even threatened to fire him.
Although the employee had explained his family's emergency situation to the employer in detail, the employer treated him with indifference, rejected his request for personal leave, and threatened to dismiss him for absenteeism. Considering the hard work of the employee over the years and the special circumstances he faces, we can't help but wonder why companies can't take a more humane approach. Perhaps, while understanding the plight of the employee, you can negotiate with him to temporarily reduce working hours or suspend salary, so as to alleviate the financial burden of the enterprise and give the employee more understanding and support.
Enterprise management should pay more attention to the personal plight of employees while maintaining its own economic stability. In the face of sudden family changes of employees, adopting a more flexible and humane way can demonstrate the sense of social responsibility of the enterprise and maintain the stability of human resources. It is also a strategy to find a balance in business operations, so that both employees and the business can understand and support each other in difficult situations, and ultimately achieve a win-win situation.
