After a Reddit user shared a troubling experience, it became clear that many people were unhappy with the way the HR department handled the situation. According to the Redditor, he found himself stuck in an elevator on his way to the office, leading to a series of unfortunate events that resulted in deductions from his salary. The post quickly gained traction on social media, sparking outrage among netizens.
In the Reddit post, the individual explained that the elevator in their office building had been experiencing technical issues. On this particular day, as he was heading to work, the elevator suddenly malfunctioned, leaving him stranded for a daunting three-hour duration. Frustratingly, the electricity also went off during this time, exacerbating his predicament. Unable to contact the maintenance department or his office initially, he persevered in his attempts to reach out for help.
After several tries, he managed to get in touch with the HR department and informed them of his dire situation. In response, the HR promptly dispatched a maintenance worker to address the elevator malfunction. Finally, after three long hours, he was rescued from the elevator.
However, the situation took a distressing turn when he attempted to clock in for work. The HR department informed him that he would be marked as absent for the day, and his salary would be docked accordingly. This decision left him perplexed and frustrated. He argued that if he were to be marked absent, he would prefer to take a day off and return home. To his surprise, his AM (Assistant Manager) insisted that he continue working since the company was short-staffed.
The Redditor maintained that the situation was beyond his control, and if the HR department allowed him to adjust his clock-in time to reflect the actual circumstances, he would be willing to work. Unfortunately, this plea was met with threats regarding his performance appraisal and work ethic. He was accused of making excuses, lacking motivation, and not putting in enough effort.
In response to this challenging situation, the Redditor decided to take matters into his own hands. He revealed that he had recorded the incident using the elevator’s camera and documented his interactions with the HR department. This decision aimed to ensure transparency and protect his rights in a situation where he felt unjustly treated.
