“…medical interns/clerks abandoned their duty post to watch The Era’s Tour…” a concerned Netizen posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on March 21, 2024, at 6 PM.
The tweet read, “I was left flabbergasted after finding out that several medical interns/clerks abandoned their duty post to watch The Eras Tour. If you think it’s justifiable, then maybe a career in medicine is not for you.”. With over 4 million views before it hit the first 24 hours of posting, the term AWOL immediately shot up to the X trends as some Netizens thought the interns went to the concert without an official vacation leave.
Speculations ran wild as Netizens debated whether the interns should be held accountable for their actions. While some argued that employees have the right to use their allotted leave as they see fit, others emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism and proper work ethics, particularly in internships. The original poster revealed that some interns had taken leave, but for different reasons, raising further questions about transparency and accountability.
As the discussion continues, the question remains: should the interns face consequences for their actions? Join the conversation and share your thoughts below!
