Boss’s reaction to employee fainting at work causes stir

  • The woman faints at work, the boss calls her unprofessional.
  • The boss criticized the employee for “unprofessional” behavior after she fainted.
  • The woman shared her experience on Mumsnet, sparking outrage.

Following a female employee’s illness during work, her supervisor contacted her the following day and labeled her actions as ‘unprofessional.’

This incident has sparked significant outrage among many individuals.

After a woman fainted at her place of work, her boss displayed an unforeseen reaction to her health condition. Instead of expressing concern for her well-being, the boss criticized her for displaying “unprofessional” behavior.

The woman shared her distressing experience on the platform Mumsnet, which offers information about pregnancy and childbirth.

The website also features a forum where women can discuss their everyday challenges.

In the post, she wrote, “I’m a healthcare professional and fainted. It was mid-conversation, and I realized I wasn’t well. So, I said to the patient ‘Excuse me, I’m sorry, I’m going to go and get someone else’ (so I could go out quickly and get some air as I thought I was maybe just hot!) and I stood up, and while walking out, I fainted on the floor.” She further explained that the next day when she came in for work, she was scheduled for a meeting with a “slightly scary boss to discuss how unprofessional it was.”

Take a look at the post shared by the woman here:

Since its posting on August 6, this post has garnered numerous likes and comments.

Check out what people are saying about this post here:

An individual wrote, “I don’t understand. You can’t choose to faint or not faint. What would a ‘professional’ have done according to the person who wants the meeting?” “What could you have done to prevent that from happening? Absolutely nothing. Hope you’re feeling better now,” added a second.

A third shared, “Fainting is not unprofessional, it’s a ‘can’t be helped’ kind of thing. If you were unwell and went to work too ill to be there, that’s not great.” A fourth commented, “It can’t be ‘unprofessional’ because that refers to behavior. Your body just did something you didn’t expect, and you’d just realized you didn’t feel well and were going to remedy it when you fainted.”
