Once, my employee’s wife lost her pregnancy.
I wasn’t aware because he was always showing up at work.
But I noticed his work rate dropped drastically.
First, I had no idea what’s happening.
I asked his colleagues if they knew what’s going on.
One of them told me of what happened.
How come he told nobody.
He said, ”He doesn’t want to be ‘pitied’. He wanted to act strong.”
I never liked that idea.
Men are not robots.
I called him into the office and advised him
to take a break to heal if there’s a need.
I believe:
1) We are all humans, and we need each other.
2) No matter how strong of a person you are,
there’s always some thing which can make you weak.
Agree?
