An employee took to LinkedIn to highlight what they described as a toxic work culture at their company after their boss refused to grant them even a single day of leave.

According to the employee, the boss said leave could not be approved because they would be 'under training'. The employee also shared a screenshot of the WhatsApp conversation with their boss, which quickly made its way to Reddit.

The employee responded by politely asking the boss to clarify how the company's policy aligns with labour guidelines.

'I just want to understand this clearly. With an 11 am to 8 pm shift, six days a week and no leave, the total comes to around 54 hours, and that's before any extra client time. Since labour norms usually allow about 48 hours a week, could you help me understand how the company manages this within the guidelines?' the employee wrote.

In response, the boss said the employee had already been informed about the policy during the interview process.

Following this exchange, the employee decided to withdraw from the job offer and shared their decision in a message.

'I understand it's a sales role, and extra hours and effort come with the job. The one-year contract is also fine. But if there's absolutely no room for even a single day of leave, then it's not an environment where I can grow. I was genuinely impressed by your achievements, and I do want to learn and improve, just not under these conditions. So I'll step away from the offer. Wishing you all the best,' the employee wrote.
