'Also, I quit': Boss pretends they didn't approve worker's leave and demands they come in, worker quits in viral post
The leave approval process exists for one reason and one reason only: To ensure that workers have a proper guarantee and assurance that they will be able to be absent on the submitted dates before spending money and making social commitments. It's a rather simple process, black and white, really; can the employee take leave or not? Yes or no?
Well, this manager decided to introduce a whopping massive grey area into the middle of "Yes" or "No" by first saying yes, before forgetting they had approved the leave, and then doubling down and demanding the worker show up once they had been adequately proven wrong.
All of this led to the worker quitting on the spot, leaving the manager even more shorthanded than before. The worker then took to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit to share screenshots of the messages exchanged between the worker and their boss.
The messages went viral on the sub, and the boss's responses earned the ire of the internet.
Keep reading to see the screenshots, as they were posted in the original thread, and to see a selection of the reactions below.
