What exactly happened?
It was a short week at work lol byu/trustmebrotrust inantiwork
By posting the screenshot of the chat with his manager, the Reddit user sparked an avalanche of criticism and brought attention to a divisive topic related to work, health, and financial constraints that many employees face.
The user reported to the supervisor in the chat that he was feeling unwell, as can be seen in the shared image, describing chills and a constant increase in body temperature.
The person said in the chat: “I hate doing this, but I woke up in cold sweats.”
When the Redditor claims that he cannot report to work under these circumstances, his supervisor unexpectedly responds by requesting that a doctor’s note be submitted to file an “excused absence.”

The worker responds: “It’s been three years since I visited a doctor. I’m too poor to visit a doctor because I have a fever. Yesterday I earned the equivalent of $8 an hour. Does the company pay for the doctor’s visit?”
The manager doesn’t seem to care and continues to require the worker to bring a doctor’s note to get time off and tells him, “You should be able to return to work if the illness is just a fever. Right?”
When this happened?
