The manager denied leave for caregiving for the mother: the employee is forced to quit.

According to ТСН: An employee of a private bank in India was forced to leave his position after his manager denied his request for leave to care for his seriously ill mother. A post on Reddit notes that the manager advised: if the mother "isn't recovering, it's better to place her in a medical facility or shelter — and come to the office." This response outraged many users and raised questions about toxic corporate culture.

The employee requested a few days off as her mother was suffering from a severe illness due to improper treatment and needed her support.

Community Reaction

"That's it. She has two options left — work as usual or be with her mother. She chose her mother. Shortly after, she had to resign. She worked there for years. I'm posting this here because, frankly, I don't know what the 'right' reaction is in such workplaces. What would you do?"

This post sparked a discussion about corporate culture and employee rights.

"Ask the manager to provide this suggestion in writing, and watch how his tone changes and his ego shatters," suggested one user.

"Damn, I sympathize with her and the feelings she had to go through. There should be some legitimate way to take revenge for such blatant exploitation," wrote another commentator.

The discussion of this situation again highlighted the importance of protecting employee rights and the need for improving working conditions. The situation drew attention to the problem faced by many people forced to choose between family obligations and work demands, complicating their lives and health.
