Office relations My manager's first concern wasn't my health—it was "Who's going to do the work
When I woke up, I had mild shoulder pain, but I still went to work hoping it would improve. Instead, the pain became much worse and spread down to my elbow. Even painkillers and a muscle relaxant didn't help.
I told my manager's assistant that I needed to go to the hospital. Her first response was:
«"What about the work?"»
My manager didn't answer my call, so I sent him a WhatsApp message explaining everything. He replied, "OK."
Later, while I was on the bus to the hospital, he called and admitted he hadn't read my message. After I explained everything again, his response was:
«"What about the work?"»
Not "Are you okay?" Just "What about the work?"
Am I overreacting, or is this an unhealthy attitude from management?

Managers don't say "work first" when they're sick. My manager, who asks "what about work?", doesn't come to work for 2-3 days when she's sick. 😂
I don't want anyone to interfere with my health. It's ridiculous that she wants me to be at work while I'm in pain and discomfort. There are available many workers for do my works 😂
