Not everyone is lucky enough to have an understanding boss. Social media is full of instances where netizens have shared their horrible experiences with their bosses. Taking to the internet, a woman opened up about something similar and shared the ordeal she faced with her superior at the workplace. The incident was regarding her boss calling her ‘unprofessional’ for ‘fainting’ in the office. The post went viral as many were left shocked over the boss’ behaviour.
The woman shared her experience on a website called Mumsnet. The website is a platform where parents can speak up about their daily struggles. Women can also share and get information regarding pregnancy on this platform.
The post was shared by the user ‘magentapink3’, with the title, “Would you judge me? Was i unprofessional?”
The description read, “I’m the healthcare professional and fainted. It was mid conversation and realised I really wasn’t well so I said to the patient excuse me I’m sorry I’m going to go and get someone else (so I could go out quickly and get some air as I thought I was maybe just hot!) and I stood up and whilst walking out I fainted to the floor. I’ve never done it before, the patient was lovely about it and was seen by a different colleague and all was fine but I went home from work afterwards and I’m back tomorrow and I’ve been scheduled a meeting with my slightly scary boss to discuss how unprofessional it was.”
The woman then went on and asked the netizens if the act was unprofessional. The description further read, “I just wanted to ask here to gauge some opinions on whether I was unprofessional etc and should prepare for a bollocking or not!”
The story received all kinds of reactions, where people mostly called the boss’ behaviour questionable. Taking to the comment section, the netizens shared their take on the matter.

“I don't understand. You can't choose to faint or not faint. What would a "professional" have done according to the person who wants the meeting?” a user said. “Not at all! I mean what could you have done to prevent that from happening? Absolutely nothing. Hope you're feeling better now x,” a second netizen wrote. “Fainting is not unprofessional, it's a 'can't be helped' kind of thing. If you were unwell and went to work too ill to be there, that's not great,” joined a third. “You're a health professional yourself so will know how ridiculous it would be for any claim to be made that you were unprofessional due to fainting,” added a fourth.
