On December 12, 2023, a shocking mass absenteeism occurred in the human resources department of a company. The head of the department took a day off for personal reasons, but on the day he took the leave, he went so far as to approve all the employees who asked him for leave, resulting in a collective absence of the entire department and the dismissal of 18 employees. The incident sparked widespread discussion and controversy, with different views on the attribution of responsibility.
On the one hand, it was argued that the responsibility for the incident should be borne by the employees. They believe that as employees, they should have the awareness to consciously abide by the rules and regulations, rather than taking time off at will or expressing their demands through collective action. They point out that employees' individual actions directly affect the stable operation and efficiency of the team, so employees should be responsible for their own actions. In addition, they also believe that the company's management should be more strict when formulating rules and regulations to prevent similar situations from happening.
On the other hand, there are also those who believe that the responsibility for this incident should be borne by the management. They believe that as the leader of the team, the manager should have the responsibility and management ability to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. They point out that the individual behavior of managers directly leads to the collective absence of the entire department, which is a sign of mismanagement by managers. In addition, they also believe that the company's management should strengthen the supervision of employees, plug management loopholes, and ensure the effective implementation of rules and regulations.
However, we cannot deny the entire company because of the individual actions of one manager. In fact, every company has different levels of management problems and management loopholes. The occurrence of this incident reminds us that the importance of scientific management cannot be ignored. Both employees and management should take responsibility for their actions and work together to ensure the stable operation and efficient work of the team.
Drawing lessons from this incident, we should learn from them and avoid similar situations from happening again. First of all, the company's management should strengthen the supervision and management of employees to ensure the effective implementation of rules and regulations. Secondly, employees should consciously abide by the rules and regulations, express their demands correctly, and do not ask for leave or participate in collective actions at will. Finally, the company should strengthen training and education to improve the management awareness and sense of responsibility of employees.
In short, the company's mass absence incident sparked widespread discussion and controversy. The attribution of responsibility is a complex issue that involves both employee behavior and mismanagement by management. We should learn from this and work together to ensure that the team is running smoothly and efficiently.
