A college student’s online post has sparked outrage after revealing her mother’s manager pressured her to return to work despite battling stage 4 cancer for 18 months. The user, @disneydoll96, shared a screenshot of an email from her mother’s supervisor requesting a doctor’s note confirming her fitness to work, along with details of her limitations and treatment plan. The email also demanded her presence at a meeting the next day, disregarding her illness and offering no flexibility. The post’s origin in Ireland emphasizes the emotional and financial strain placed on the family. The daughter is completing her studies before seeking employment to support the family. Her team of doctors has consistently expressed hope for her recovery despite her long-term chemotherapy. Social media users expressed anger at the manager’s insensitivity. Comments ranged from suggesting the employee record meetings to expose the company’s behavior to condemning the lack of empathy. “I wish karma had real power. Like bullying a disabled person, karma gives you nightmares based on that disability until you’ve learned your lesson. Every night, horrid nightmares occur. People would certainly be nicer to each other,” commented a user. “I am so incredibly sorry about your mother. I just noticed you’re also from Ireland. I am from Cork. You should post this in the Ireland sub and the county sub too,” wrote another user. Ireland Social Issues
