Such home visits were not well-received, and bosses were greeted with slammed doors and threats to call the police. But Thierig claimed checking up on sick workers at home was common practice and that they were appealing to “the employees’ work ethic.”
Wrong. You are allowed to visit your employee at home when you have a very good reason to believe they are faking it. But you visited 30 employees. You’re doing this shit systematically. Even the union is calling you out for overworking people until they get sick. I hope you keep fucking up like this. Labour courts are usually heavily in favour of employees. When they band together the court will rip you a new one.
Not to mention that these managers had time to do this in the first place, which indicates to me that those managers are doing a whole boatload of nothing.
Exactly. Unless for some reason these bosses are all trained medical doctors, aren’t the medical notes, emitted by medical doctors I’m assuming, enough to show they aren’t faking it?
The thing is, I never heard any employer actually doing this. I knew they could do it. But until now I thought even the densest boss would shy away from risking a legal enema.

Look, of they show up with a smile and a get well soon package you make a very different impression even if it also serves as a check up.
How would they know they are faking it? Not all sickness is visible.
Yeah I’d even go so far as to say what if it’s a mental health day. Those are totally valid for preventing mini burnouts.
