‘Only Death Excused’: Toxic Manger To Employee After Running Late Due To Car Accident

A manager’s shocking response to an employee’s car accident has gone viral, drawing widespread outrage on social media. The incident, shared by X user @kirawontmiss, highlights a conversation where an employee sent a photo of his heavily damaged car to his boss after surviving a severe crash. Rather than expressing concern, the manager coldly replied, “Keep me updated on what time you’re expecting to be here.”

The next day, when the employee didn’t respond, the manager followed up with another insensitive message, stating, “It’s understandable why you would be late, but anything that prevents you from being at the workplace other than a death in the family is unexcused at any company.” This callous reaction left many online users horrified, with the post racking up nearly 11 million views.

The lack of empathy sparked heated discussions, with one user commenting, “Managers like this scare me, like is your life that miserable?!” Another user shared their own experience with a kinder boss, noting, “It doesn’t cost anything to be cool to people.” The viral post has ignited debates about workplace empathy and toxic management behavior.
