This is so different industry by industry. Some can build in redundancy to cover employee leave yet still have something to do when everyone is healthy.
For many other companies, particularly in reference to hourly employees, having too many employees in the same position to cover call outs means scheduling gets diluted among them, which leads to lower earnings for all employees and higher turnover.
I pro worker and anti abusive management, but vague generalized posts like these feel disingenuous or at least not well thought out.
Management or not, the older you are, the more opportunities you would have had to understand it’s more nuanced than that.
Labor market faces so many issues on both sides between overworked salaried employees, average and minimum wages not keeping up with inflation, decline in education standards putting out lower quality candidates, jobs shifting towards gig and independent contractor positions that punish independence, and so many things. This just comes off as a novice brat who didn’t like how they were made to feel.
The thing you’re doing right now is equivalent to explaining why giving people Saturday and Sunday off isn’t feasible in the current market before these were established in employment law.
There are a thousand reasons why four people might be doing the work of six and so can’t call out, but it’s really worth asking why are there only four people?

This kinda shit only gets written and spread by people who either have never been management or are really shitty management.
There’s way too many nuances to being a “good boss” to sum up in one dumb tweet.
My first impression is that a child wrote it.
