A young woman who decided to take sick leave to travel had an embarrassing moment when she spotted her boss…who was taking the same flight as her.
In a video posted to TikTok, Grace explains that she had requested the day off, claiming a “doctor’s appointment.” In reality, she was flying back to her home in Bali, Indonesia.
The 23-year-old self-employed worker often travels between her hometown and Europe for work.
However, she faced an unpleasant surprise at the airport. “I was waiting in line when I saw a familiar face approach me and call my name,” she told Newsweek.
His boss asked him sarcastically: “So this is the hospital?”
However, the young woman was not frustrated by this unexpected encounter. “I was very surprised [de le voir]but we ended up laughing together,” Grace told the British media.
She explained that they chatted until they returned to their respective seats.
Tens of thousands of people online reacted to Grace’s video, with one person saying she “would have cried like a baby and handed in her resignation letter” if she had been in that situation.
Another person said he also took sick leave to travel and was called by his boss while he was waiting for his flight. “You could hear the boarding announcements in the background,” he wrote in the comments section.
