My manager sent a colleague to show up outside my house when I didn't answer an email.😒

So, I didn't check my emails yesterday because I was unwell, I took my annual leave. My manager was calling me on my phone, but I didn't answer! Wasn't looking at my emails either obviously. I get a message from my neighbor, saying there is some lady standing on our door knocking constantly. We were not expecting any deliveries. So, I asked my neighbor to take a picture of the person because I went out for a while. To my shock, the person in the picture was my colleague. I was confused because I am not friends with any of my colleagues that I would share my house address with them. So, I go into my emails to contact HR about this and find an email from my manager that as I am not responding to phone calls or emails, she sent a colleague over to my home to talk to me in person about this 'urgent task.' My manager is now literally stalking me in my own property. I have emailed HR about this. I would take legal action but we don't earn enough money to be able to pay legal fees.🤷‍♂️

If an employee or manager is doing something unethical or illegal, especially on the company's time or as a representative of the company, they are a liability to the company and it is absolutely in the company's best interest to discipline or part ways with them

[a content writer](username) Better yet, if HR does nothing you'll have it on record that they did nothing. Once shit hits the fan and the company is held accountable, there will be no question that it was due to a complete failure of HR to adequately protect the company.

HR is not your friend. Tell the police he's trespassing.

So your manager gave one of your colleagues your home address without your permission? Doesn't that violate some privacy law or policy? I am not an expert but that sounds like a breach of confidentiality. Colleague or not the data that your employer has is not to be distributed to anyone😅

This happened to me as well in my previous company. Had a tooth emergency, called to call out and got no answer. Sent a text to my manager and got no answer. Had the tooth extracted and while laying in bed with my mouth full of gauze I heard a knock at the door. I open the door to a coworker asking me what's going on. The manager sent him to my house because I "no call, no showed" This person did not know where I lived and was given my address by said manager and told to go see what was going on. It blew my mind. I was younger and just accepted it.
