Half the employees off.

Vietnam
June 4, 2012 8:35pm CST
Today morning, I feel unexpected because half the employees leave! I attendance each day to order lunches for all employees. Today, I only order a half! They have left because they're tired, sick and their family member is sick etc... I have never seen this situation. Company can't work well. We must stop manufacturing. Have you ever known this situation?

When I was still employed that happened too. But it made me crazy because it would mean i have to adjust work time again and do most of the work because of other people's absence.

Remaining employees must work much more to finish order on time. It's hard for them and manager board!

Sounds like either everyone is plagued with an illness or it's an old fashioned negotiation tatic of "sick out". That's no good that things have to shut down because of the lack of employees.

Oh what a coincidence that most of them will be absent that day. Whenever that happens in an office, the boss are the ones who can feel the difficulty because they are used to be just telling the employees to do this and that. Now, they have to do them themselves.

Hi tkonlinevin! I hope the employees would be able to get back to work soon. If not I would suggest, perhaps you hire somebody to take over temporarily for a while so that the production will continue and to prevent any further loss on the company.

Half of the employees left work!That's strange.All of them got tired and sick at the same time!Didn't you try to find out the actual reason?I have never seen such a thing happening in any company.Well,if the employees have left,it is really impossible for any company to continue functioning and manufacturing.You have taken the right decision.Stop manufacturing,but try to know why all of them left at the same time.What made them feel tired and sick at the same time.A one-off incident.

No... never had that happen, at least to that extent. Maybe there is some kind of virus going around? That's always my first thought. I hope it isn't the beginning of some employee rebellion!

Did they leave for good or did they take the day off only? Our office will go through days when workers just don't show which reflects in the quality we hire since we start to earn less.

Oh my, that was such when half of the employee is on leave. It really makes the boss go crazy, it happens to us, though we are only about 4-5 employee in the office including the boss. When all the production department is on leave, no one will do the project, my boss was frustrated and angry, it's just the two of us in the office and I hate that cause he will make me do all the work except CAD drawing. There are employee who is professional and don't absent that much and there are employees who loves to leave even in petty reason.

No. Hi, tkonlinevn. You had better pray that the half employees really leave as they claim. Or you may face a strike. Good luck!

Your company should provide vitamins and healthy foods for employees to prevent them from leaving work due to sickness.
