Toxic Manager Says 'Only Death Is Excused' As Employee Arrives Late After Car Crash | On trend

One such manager's reaction to his employee's accident went viral on social media. In a post on X, user @kirawontmiss shared a screenshot of a conversation between an employee and a manager after the manager survived a car accident.

“What would you say if your boss said that?” reads the caption.

The screenshot showed a series of text messages between the two people, which began with the employee sending the manager a photo of his car completely crushed at the front. Based on its mangled appearance, it is clear that the car was in a terrible accident.

Check out the viral post here:

Instead of asking what happened or how the employee was doing, the manager simply replies, “Keep me updated on when you expect to be here.”

The next SMS comes a day later when the manager receives no response to his previous SMS. “It's understandable why you're late, but whatever prevents you from being at work, other than a death in the family, is unexcused in any company,” the manager wrote.
