"Gen Z breaks up and applies for leave. Millennials broke down, cried in the washroom, and still met deadlines. Gen Z treat HR like their therapist and Outlook like a diary. Next mail: “Sir, Mercury is in retrograde, need WFH till it sorts itself out.”

"I mean isn’t it better to be real about it? Yeah gonna be harder for you if don’t take the opportunity and be better in every department and make great things out of it but being real never gonna hurt you more than the other."

Leon Hitchens said:

"When I see these types of leaves or over share, I love them. Instant approval. I don’t have to question why, and there’s only so many time they can use the excuse haha."

Stratosphere said:

"I would approve it immediately; honesty plus a situation that affects their ability to work. You can tell they make a good employee with only 2 sentence's. I see you approved it too, you are a good boss man! Cheers!"

CK32 added:

"I see that you have approved the leave request for 2 weeks. If that’s immediately approved then maybe that person isn’t even critical to the operations. This might seem nice and emotional heartwarming but realistically this should be worrying as that person is either easily replaceable or if there’s a downsizing he might be one of the first ones to be let go."
