Boss's Texts to Hospitalized Employee Spark Workplace Culture Debate

Imagine you're sick and in the hospital.

Now imagine your boss, instead of caring, is asking for proof you're really there.

That's what happened in a story that went viral.

A person shared messages from their boss who demanded proof of their hospital stay and details about their treatment.

People online are angry because they feel the boss wasn't understanding.

This is making people talk about how some workplaces in India expect employees to work even when they are not well.

People are saying companies should be more caring and have better rules about how they treat sick employees.
