According to foreign media such as the Daily Express, a netizen recently posted a question on his SNS account, "'Is the president's demand to share real-time location during the annual vacation normal?'
According to her, the president ordered employees to share real-time locations even if they left the country as well as abroad, and warned that if they did not comply, they would be treated as 'unity absenteeism'.
Even before the annual leave was approved, she claimed, there was a situation in which the application was put on hold, asking for real-time location information.
The woman, who took a vacation to an island near Malaysia, said she was angry and did not share the location. As a result, the president called me several times, but he finally refused the request.
She later released a photo of herself enjoying a vacation by the sea, adding that she was angry at the "nonsense demands".
The story quickly spread online, generating hundreds of comments.
Netizens say "This is not normal. The boss is crazy", "It's a violation of privacy. The annual leave is personal time, but why do we ask for a location when it's not even a company that supports travel?","There are safety issues and human rights violations. He criticized the company's behavior by critically responding, such as quitting immediately and looking for another job.
In response, she responded, "'I think I'm just a slave.'"He revealed that he was asked for location information not only during annual leave but also during sick leave and unpaid leave," he said. "If the company makes such a request again, we will report it to the Labor Office."
Meanwhile, under Malaysian labor law, employees have the right to receive at least eight days of paid annual leave per year.
