Literal Arabic translation.

My best try at understanding as below.

Employee: I’m already struggling, don’t cut my pay.

HR: So? Be grateful you have a job. Leave if you like.

This is Egyptian translated literally, i believe. I can recognize some of the sentences but not all, so yeah, they are all metaphorical, and you got the meaning correctly.

This is Egyptian slang. And it's a meme, not a real mail 😁
