Heartless boss tells employee 'only death is excused' after they're late due to car accident
A viral post on X shows a shocking exchange between an employee and their manager after the employee was involved in a severe car crash. Instead of expressing concern, the manager focused on the employee's tardiness, stating that any absence not related to a death in the family is unexcused.
Having an inconsiderate manager can have a detrimental influence on both your professional life and your mental health. Some toxic employers might even go so far as to ignore any pain or harm sustained by their employees. One such manager's reaction to their employee getting into an accident has gone viral on social media.

In a post on X, user @kirawontmiss shared a screenshot of a chat between an employee and a manager after the former escaped a vehicle crash.
"What would y¡¯all respond with if your manager says this?" read the caption.
The screenshot depicted a series of text messages between the two parties, beginning with the employee emailing the manager a photo of his car fully wrecked in the front. The car's crumpled look indicates that it was in a catastrophic crash.
Instead of asking what happened or how their employee was, the manager simply replies, "Keep me updated on what time you're expecting to be here." The next text message on the trail comes a day after when the manager does not get a response to his earlier text. "It's understandable why you would be late, but regardless anything that prevents you from being at the workplace other than a death in the family is unexcused at any company," the manager wrote.
How did people on the internet react?
The post, which has nearly 11 million views, has upset users throughout X, who were shocked by the manager's approach to a potentially fatal mishap. Here's what people wrote.
Managers like this scare me, like is your life that miserable?!
