OP (Original Poster) never felt like her boss supported her. However, visiting her home without letting her know might be grounds for her to sue!
Taking a Sick Day
OP had a manipulative boss. She said he got “extremely passive-aggressive” whenever she called in sick.
Frequent Absences?
She mentioned that she takes a sick day almost every six months due to the nature of her work.
OP explained, “I’m in healthcare, so we have to be stringent about infection policies.”
Backhanded Comments
Whenever she does so, he would say things like, “You’re sick yet again.”
He would also guilt-trip her by saying he’d “have to work late for her.” OP noted that she never got a standard “get well soon” from him.
Unexpected Visit
The night this story was posted, OP called in sick, and her boss suddenly appeared unannounced at her place. Her boss then repeatedly called her when she didn’t answer the door.
What Is He Trying to Do?
She noted that her house was on his way home from the clinic. However, she felt he was trying to get her to return to work earlier than she was allowed.
All Over the Place
OP’s thoughts are all over the place. She asked the community, “Am I just being too sensitive?”
What Redditors Think
For users, OP was right to be concerned.
One said, “That’s f***** up. Shouldn’t be at your place without a reason.” To this, OP replied, “That’s what I thought! I’ve been planning to leave for a while, but I wonder if I should get some legal advice in case things get ugly. Can you get a restraining order for your boss?”
Sound Pieces of Advice
Redditors threw in a lot of pieces of advice for OP.
On the one hand, this person said, “Put in writing via your personal email to your boss that it is unacceptable for them to drop by your house as they did. Describe the day as well. Paper trail.”
Then, another said, “I think it would be a better idea to email HR than to email the boss. If you email your boss, then he could proactively make allegations against you. Email HR to ask what the policy is for sick leave, if a supervisor can act a certain way, including stopping by your place of residence to check the validity of your being sick, and if they have a policy for harassment and retaliation. Word it in a calm way to minimize them being automatically defensive. Companies are supposed to have these available, but they are not always easy to find.”
Better Be Safe Than Sorry
One user pointed out that what her boss did wasn’t illegal, but it would be better for OP to be extra cautious.
“It’s not illegal, but it may violate company policy. My dad worked for the railroad years ago, and if they called him to come in and he ignored the phone, they sometimes came over to try to force him. I know that sounds archaic, but if you’ve heard anything about recent railroad contract negotiations, you know current practice is about that bad. In your case, OP, I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the ‘creep’ card with upper management and insinuate something untoward about this male supervisor coming to your home unannounced and uninvited ’cause f*** that,” wrote one Redditor.
Do you think what OP’s boss did was creepy? What should her next steps be?
