After the death of his father, an employee receives a WhatsApp from the manager.
The content hits him unexpectedly, because in addition to a sympathy expression, it contains a big surprise.
A post on the Internet platform Jodel is currently attracting attention that deeply affects the community.
An employee named “Tim” from Munich shares a WhatsApp message from his boss that hardly anyone has received before.
Touching gesture after the death of the father: the boss exempts employees from the probationary period
As can be seen from the message and comments, Tim is just coming to
terms with his father's death
.
According to his own information, he was seriously ill with cancer, was in the intensive care unit for three weeks, then Corona was added.
The sender of the message, according to Tim the managing director of a security company, expresses his condolences on behalf of the company.
But the real surprise follows immediately: “I know how shit is like that”, writes the author quite bluntly, “take the time you need.
Do not worry about your probationary period *
, you will now receive the
cancellation of
your (still) ongoing probationary period
by email in advance
. "
Tim probably didn't expect that at all.
"There is still hope in humanity", he comments on the message on Jodel and immediately adds: "I
was thinking
that they would
throw me out
, because I will be out for a few days and still in the trial period".
As can be seen from his comments, he had communicated his concerns to the head of operations, "and 20 minutes later came the WhatsApp from the manager".

Jodel: Users are enthusiastic about the “human” gesture
The yodelling community is deeply moved by this touching gesture: “I just had tears in my eyes because of the news.
So nice that there are still people like that, ”commented one user.
In addition to countless expressions of condolences, the yodel users also congratulate him on his superior: “You caught a great boss there.
See not only the personnel number, but also the person behind it
! "
Another user would even
vote
him
“Boss of the Year”
.
Obviously, the cancellation of his probationary period is no coincidence, because as a posted e-mail shows, the managing director thanks Tim for his “excessive commitment”, which does not remain hidden from the yodel community: “Your boss would do that to you Don't do lazy employees ... be proud of yourself. "
In view of this positive example for a managing director, however, there are also thoughtful voices in the yodelling community: “On the one hand, I'm really happy because it's so human and empathetic.
On the other hand
, it makes me sad that it is not normal, but rather the exception ...
".
In other companies, bosses threaten to lay off
In fact, other companies are less human.
A security company from Bavaria recently threatened its employees with dismissal if they wanted to work at home.
And that despite the fact that it is mandatory to work from home during the corona pandemic.
Another boss threatened to dismiss if one of his employees was vaccinated against Corona.
