A recent social media post by a female employee denied leave by her manager has sparked widespread debate about workplace culture and boundaries.
The post details a distressing incident where the woman, whose relative was undergoing cancer surgery, requested leave for a family emergency. Despite informing her team leader about her need to be absent from a work seminar, her manager insisted on her attendance and subjected her to verbal pressure.
The incident, shared on April 20, 2025, describes how the manager insisted she attend the seminar, even after being informed of her relative’s critical medical condition. The employee recounted that the manager yelled at her for 20-30 minutes, demanded an apology email, and requested photos of the hospital prescription. This confrontation led her to resign from her job the following day.
Her resignation has resonated with many on social media, sparking a wave of support and criticism towards the manager’s behaviour. One commenter urged the employee to stand up to the manager, to which she responded that she had tried, only to be met with further hostility. Other users have shared similar experiences of toxic workplace environments, including issues like delayed pay and lack of support during personal crises.
The viral post has highlighted the challenges employees face in balancing work commitments with personal emergencies, and the need for more empathetic management practices.
