The Leave Request That Broke Everything

When Rosemary, who had a live streaming session scheduled, partied until 5 AM and submitted her third no-reason leave request of the week, I pressed the reject button without hesitation.

Soon after, Rosemary dragged me online and incited a wave of cyberbullying. Netizens were attacking me, calling me a wage-slave simp for the capitalist overlords.

Those seemingly kind colleagues also huddled together, whispering behind my back that I was annoying and hateful—the old witch who wouldn't approve leave requests.

Fine, everyone wants time off, right?
