LinkedIn Post Highlights Corporate Leave Rejection Issues
A LinkedIn post shared by a user describes how a friend's year-end leave was rejected by their manager in a US-based multinational company.
The employee had given a month and a half notice and followed all the formal procedures.
The manager questioned the timing and said there was too much work.
The employee was asked to either cancel the leave or take unpaid leave.
The employee chose unpaid leave, losing half a month's salary, as they had already booked flight tickets costing Rs 1.5 lakh.
The post highlights that company policies mean little if the manager does not support them.
It suggests that employees should research their managers as carefully as the company when evaluating job opportunities.
The post concludes that a supportive manager can make a difficult workplace manageable, while a poor manager can make an ideal organization stressful.
