Malaysian woman claims boss demands live location during leave as proof of holiday
Superior at company says if ‘new rule’ not adhered to, staff will be marked ‘absent’, location details also required for sick, unpaid leave
A Malaysian woman whose boss demanded she share her live location while on leave to prove that she was actually on holiday has attracted a flood of sympathetic and angry comments online.
The woman, known as @_nnadrahhh on a social media platform, posted on June 10 asking if her superior’s leave location request was “normal”.
She said her boss even demanded the location information if they were overseas.
The superior added that it was a “new rule” of the company and people who failed to share their live locations would be marked as “absent”, even if they had applied for annual leave.
The woman said her superior would keep applications pending until the live location was shared.
According to her posts, the woman travelled to an island off Malaysia.
She did not reveal the name or location of her employer.
