South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on the 23rd that a boss in Malaysia demanded that his subordinates share their location in real time while on vacation, saying it was a company rule.
When a woman who uses the account ‘@_nadrahhh’ on social media asked for a vacation on the 10th, she asked the Internet if this was normal, saying that her boss should share location information if she went on vacation.
He added that his boss said this was the company’s new rule and that those who did not share the location in real time would be treated as absenteeism even if they had applied for annual leave.
The woman claimed her boss told her she would withhold her leave application until the location was shared.
He traveled to an island in Malaysia. He said he was given vacation time by promising to share the location, but did not share it at the vacation spot because he thought it was unfair.
As a result, he added that he received several calls from his boss asking where he was.
Internet users are angry when this fact is known. One netizen said, “How can a boss invade privacy like that? Employees should be able to do whatever they want during the vacation.”
Another netizen claimed, “If they sponsored your trip, you can ask for your current location, but if not, there is no reason to share the location.”
Another netizen said, “If I were you, I would have found a new job,” and there is a flood of resistance from the netizen, SCMP reported.
