When one of your employees misses work, the extra duties might fall on your shoulder. This can be annoying, but a necessary part of being a manger or business owner. But when an outstanding employee doesn’t show up for work without calling in sick, this is much more worrying.
That’s what happened for the boss in this story, so he picked up the phone and called him employee’s home.
Boss Calls Employee’s House And Starts Getting Nervous When He Hears This.
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not rung in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with a main computer, he phoned the employee’s home number and was greeted with a child’s whisper,
“Hello?”
“Is your Daddy home?” he asked.
“Yes,” whispered the small voice.
“May I speak to him?”
The child whispered, “No.”
Surprised and wanting to talk to an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mummy there?”
“Yes.”
“Well, may I speak to her then?
Again the small voice whispered, “No.”
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, “Is anybody else there?”
“Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”
Wondering what the police would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked,
“May I speak to the policeman?”
“No, he’s busy,” whispered the child.
“Busy doing what?”
“Talking to Mummy and Daddy and the fireman,” came the whispered reply.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background coming down the phone, the boss asked,
“What’s that noise?”
“A helicopter,” answered the whispering voice.
“What’s going on there?” demanded the boss, now really apprehensive.
Again, whispered, the child answered, “The search team just landed a helicopter.”
Alarmed, concerned, and a little frustrated, the boss asked, “What are they searching for?”
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle…”ME!”
