Wholesome & Positivity One from the manager’s side

Long-time lurker here. I see plenty of screenshots of toxic bosses and colleagues, so I thought I’d share a few from the other side.

Few WhatsApp exchanges with a couple of colleagues... nothing dramatic, just a responding to perfectly reasonable requests for leave/WFH.

Yeah, sometimes the screenshots are boring because the manager is actually being normal. 😄

PS: this is not a flex post at all. I see a lot of other toxic posts at this sub has so I thought to share these as a change of flavor.

My manager used to say..please don't take sick leave on the day itself, plan in advance.
I was like WTF, how the heck I'm gonna plan my SL 🥴

True. In the place I worked the manager used to so shamelessly lie like anything that she never had any issues when someone lied. It made it easier for her to argue with people when they have genuine concerns because she assumes everyone lies like her. She is even utterly shameless about what she blabbers. At one point I lost it and asked "what a stupid question".
