A woman sparked debate after sharing a TikTok video, claiming that she sought revenge on her boss by taking 200 paid sick hours within a span of two months.
The Baltimore public school employee, known as Britt_bratt on TikTok, shared a viral video this month revealing the staggering amount of paid time off she had taken during May and June 2022."
She wrote overlaid text in the video, expressing her reasoning and stating that her employers had 'p***ed [her] off.'
She explained: 'When you never call out and have over 200 sick hours — so when they p***ed you off you left sick every day for almost two months until your transfer went through.'
The video featured a spreadsheet with the header Baltimore City Public Schools.
According to the table, in May 2022, Britt took off 39 hours over seven days, and in June 2022, she took off 30 hours over eight days.
Each stretch of allotted paid sick time ranged between three and eight hours per day in both months.
In the comments section, the disgruntled employee suggested that her action was prompted by her workplace's insensitivity to the passing of her grandmother.
She wrote: 'I hate calling out! But my grandmother had just passed and they was blowing me! But they tightened up on the policy now.'
In another response, Britt explained that h one of her benefits was an annual base of 80 hours of paid sick leave, which she accumulated year after year until she had hundreds of hours to spare.
Numerous commentators sparked a divided response after the employee's subversive act, albeit technically compliant with the rules.
One person said: I don't think I would employ this woman now she's exposed herself as manipulative, I'm guessing many others wouldn't want her either.
A second wrote: So in other words, she was PAID 8 hours a day for who knows how many years, for a job that only takes FOUR. Paid twice what she's worth and STILL complains...
While a third commented: Tacky and good luck getting hired to a new position. If she gets fired she will sue for discrimination. Pathetic
Another said: Just remember when you're bunking off, somebody else has to cover your work load, to me this proves you're not a team player.
