11 Jul Boss Has Incredible Reply To Employee’s Email About Taking A Mental Health Day Off Work

How far would your boss go for you?

For some people, it’s a question they’d sooner not know the answer to, because the chances are that it would turn out to be “not very far.” For others who have a good relationship with their employers, the answer actually ends up surprising them more than anything else, and a manager who normally stays remote and aloof can transform into a saint when they see an employee dealing with difficulties. Maybe this is just because complaints tend to ring loudest, but you typically hear more about the former breed of manager than the latter.

Sadly, in large corporations staffed by thousands upon thousands of people, human resources often considers employees expendable, and makes no effort to understand the individual, or listen and take note of what challenges they face beyond token gestures.

Inevitably, this attitude leads to employees feeling undervalued, unappreciated and ultimately miserable. In a lot of jobs “stress” is seen as being something to be endured without complaint, and any consideration of the mental health of employees is little more than a vague afterthought.

This fact is why this next story inspiring, and proves that there are plenty of bosses out there who are caring enough to really look out for the employees under them. A woman’s e-mail has gone viral this week after she shared her manager’s compassionate attitude towards mental health issues with the rest of the Twittersphere. Do you think your boss would do the same?
