A woman revealed she got into trouble at work after she recruited her identical twin to take her place when she went on holiday.
On their joint TikTok account, @chance_twins, Ariane and her sister Noe frequently post videos about their lives as identical twins. In a video posted earlier this month, Ariane shared the email she received from her boss after he allegedly discovered that to go on a trip, Noe was posing as her at her work.
“My boss saw the video my twin posted while covering for me at work,” she wrote in the caption about the video. The subject of the email addressed Ariane's “unacceptable behavior” regarding her absence from work.
The email went on to describe the TikTok video posted by Noe, stating that the clip featured what “appeared to be [Ariane’s] shameless boast [her] disregard for company policies and responsibilities.” His boss continued to make statements about his “attitude toward [her] work,” due to her decision to have her sister take her place when Ariane’s initial leave request was not approved.
“I shouldn't have to remind you of the importance of professional conduct, both inside and outside the workplace,” the email says. “Your actions not only reflect poorly on yourself, but also tarnish the reputation of our company. “This level of disregard for protocol and decorum is frankly shocking and will not be tolerated.”
Ariane's boss went on to ask for “an immediate explanation” for his behavior and for him to be given an “action plan to rectify this situation.” He also asked her to offer a “sincere apology for the embarrassment and interruption.” [she] cause”.
Her boss then referred to the email as “a final warning,” before describing how any further bad behavior could jeopardize her future at her job.
“Any other instances of misconduct leading to serious consequences, including possible disciplinary action,” the email concluded. “I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to discuss how we can address this blatant breach of trust and professionalism.”
Ariane’s supervisor then signed the email with “disappointed regards.”
The TikToker mocked the situation in the caption, writing, “WE WERE WRONG.”
The video quickly went viral on TikTok, with more than 87,000 views. In the comments, many people reacted to the email from Ariane's boss, while criticizing him for denying her her vacation in the first place.
“Oh John, she quit the moment you denied her a vacation. You were lucky she cared enough to put on a warm body in her absence,” one wrote.
“Tips for the shitty company; “Don’t deny people’s requests for time off,” another added.
“Disappointed regards is my new favorite signature,” joked a third.
However, other people claimed that the email did not seem real, while others gave Ariane advice on how to handle the situation with her boss.
“Lmao, that's clearly not a real email,” one stated.
“Just say the video was a joke, you didn't actually do that. It's your personal comedy page. Nothing to see here,” wrote another, while a third added: “I just left it. There’s no opportunity for a job worth dealing with that.”
The independent Ariane and Noe have been contacted for comment.
