People Share 30 Of The Craziest Situations That Their Employers Still Expected Them To Continue Working Through
Many of us had to go through “the initiation” that was our first job, especially if these were summer jobs back when we were in high school, and even more especially if it was in retail.
However, for some, horrible jobs are not necessarily their first ones. It can, unfortunately, happen to any one of us and at any point in our lives, especially if the source of all things horrible is the manager.
Comic writer and editor Stephanie Cooke recently took to Twitter to ask everyone about times when something crazy happened to them or to their work, but their managers expected them to continue business as usual. This led to some of the most horrific replies provided by other tweeters.

Sorry for your loss and I am glad that you didn't go back. This employer sounds terrible.

"Nah, she just helped raise me, look after me when my parents were busy/needed a break, sneak me an extra $20 when I was going to the movies with my friends, all the usual awesome grandma stuff. Not important at all. Fool."

You should have reported the dairy plant and your boss to the health authorities.

Yeah, actually. I'm horribly allergic to both devastating natural disasters and BS management decisions....

My sister had pneumonia when she was a kid. Nearly died. I guess she would have had a stronger immune system as an adult, but she got it just the once over ten years ago, and her immune system has weakened pretty significantly as a result. She gets pretty sick every month or so, and usually misses a week of work. It doesn't help her situation that she works in a care home, but there's not much else available where she lives, so their colds/flu/whatever usually affect her at some point.

The kid was not fine and could have killed you and your unborn baby by throwing that chair at you.

"Sure. I mean I won't be able to work, since I can barely move, and have an IV in my arm, but I can visit. For a fee."

These stories make me so angry. There's no way that any of these should be normal, bosses should get fired for making employees work in these conditions. Just what kind of world do we live in?

Those working conditions aren't normal and the majority of those stories would be illegal under labor laws in a lot of European countries. Refusing to pay because of a natural disaster? Nope. Refusing someone to go home? Forget it, it's work not a detention center. There's a long way to go for a lot of American workers.

I was four months pregnant and suffering from hyperemesis gravidarium (severe unstoppable vomiting). My boss laughed and told me I had to come in anyway because his lawyer said "pregnancy is not an illness". I showed up every day and spent my entire shift curled up next to the bathroom because it was literally all I could do. (Fun side note, my boss and colleagues all smoked. Indoors, on the job.)

You should have contacted a lawyer and let him talk to your boss.

I have the opposite experience with my employer. A few years ago, I got steroid poisoning from a shot for eczema. I was supposed to only get one in the office, but ended accidentally got prescribed at home shots. After a few days, I couldn't eat, sleep, and was seriously dehydrated. I only figured it out because I went to the doctor with my uncle and she noticed something was off. I was too weak to get out of bed, so my sister and dad went to my boss and told her what happened. She was very cool about it and gave me as much time as I needed to get better.
