There are rules about contacting workers who have called in to report their absence, and they can be summed up with ‘don’t’, but we reckon an exception can be made when the contact is like this – purely for entertainment value if nothing else.

Judging by Roy’s #fmymanager and #imnotgoing hashtags, we’re going to assume that not even the thought of all those eggs had the desired effect, but with 650,000 likes and almost 5,500 comments, it certainly motivated TikTok users.

Was that pep talk for you or him?!

No idea, but it could have been worse – much, much worse.

One time I told my boss I couldn’t work bc I was too sick… I fall asleep and open my eyes and he’s standing in my bedroom demanding I get to work.
