And you might very well be that reason. If this at all sounds like you, one of my main questions for you, as a business owner or leader is, "Do you ask your employees how they are doing?" Or, are the real life scenarios below more telling of your bedside manner? Jeanne called in sick. Her boss, Dan*, said in a sarcastic and disbelieving tone, "Oh really?" Not, "How are you?" Not, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Not even, "Take care of yourself and thanks for letting me know." Just, "Oh really." Then, click. End of conversation. Another person I know, Mike*, emailed early --around 4:00 a.m. -- that he wouldn't be into work later that morning because he was up sick all night long. Since Mike's boss liked everything documented, Mike worked to speak his boss' communication style and emailed that he was sick instead of leaving this in a voice message. Anyway, later that afternoon Mike's boss merely replied, "O.k." That's it. Just like in Jeanne's case above, Mike received no bedside manner from his boss. The next day, Mike was still sick so he emailed that he would be out a second day, but that he would try, when he was feeling better, to get as much work done at home when he was feeling better (even though he didn't need to). This time, Mike didn't even receive an, "O.k." from his boss. Yet, a few days later, on Mike's day off, he received this email from his boss, "Keep up the good work," based on the work that Mike had submitted when he was home sick. When Mike was finally well enough to go back to work; his boss merely walked by him and said, "Hello." Let's see, sign me up to work there, right? Not I, but if you're okay with that VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR GMHCF THRIFT STORE Are you interested in giving back to your community? We have the opportunity for you!
