Have you ever wondered what happens when the ‘invisible’ ones at a company finally become visible in their absence? Here’s a gripping story from r/AntiWork that will make you think twice about how employees are treated:
At a company of 650, an overworked HR assistant, earning less than $25 an hour, shouldered a workload meant for several people. At the same time, their boss, the HR Director, worked part-time and enjoyed home office privileges. After years without a raise and facing indifferent upper management, the assistant landed a better job with higher pay and a supportive team. In a bold move, they decided to quit without notice, right before a significant year-end project and their boss’s vacation.
Adding to the company’s impending chaos, the assistant is the sole expert in the company’s HR software. This story from r/AntiWork highlights the consequences companies face when they undervalue and overwork their employees.
