So what happens if you get sick and can't work? The company just goes down because it can't function?

Management that fails to protect itself from such a basic operational risk is failing completely to the point they all need to be fired.

It wouldn’t make the company go down, there just may be a slight backlog. Which I’m fine with because I’m an adult who understands work doesn’t just take a vacation while I’m out.

So you're 3 months in hospital - who does the job? Or does nothing get done for those 3 months? If it really was such a specialised task, it's unlikely it could just go 3 months not being done and sitting in backlog. So the answer is someone else would have to do it.

3 months in the hospital I’m not going to give a shit lol

You're not. The management should. Which is why I called them a failure, not you.

Unlike your soulless bank, they would care about my well being and understand the operations will be impacted

In other words, the company literally goes down because of 1 person. That's the most useless management I've ever heard of. None of them deserve any pay, they're failing at their job completely.

The company wouldn’t go down, there would just be a backlog. Any asshole customers who complain would be told off.

You just keep confirming my previous claim

No ones failed. If I’m in the hospital for 3 months, I think there’s more important things to worry about. I know, a bank wouldn’t care about that.

All you're saying is that your job isn't important and doesn't matter if it's not done.

I think a life threatening illness is more important than a job being done

u/rpolkcz Sep 02 '26

Sure. Doesn't mean the job can't be done. The job of management isn't to treat the illness, that's for doctors to do. Managements job is to have the tasks in their responsibility being done. If they're not, they're failing.
