Hilarious reply: HR does ‘UNO reverse’ after employee's demand for paid leave; check viral social media post

A human resource (HR) manager's hilarious reply to an employee's rude demand for 30 days of paid leave is going viral on social media.

In a viral LinkedIn post, a social media user shared a screenshot of the alleged email exchange between an employee and HR of the firm, and it was hilarious.

According to the viral screenshot, an employee named John T said he was suffering from coronavirus and requested 30 days of paid leave.

All was fine until the tone of the leave email changed. John, who had requested for the leave earlier, suddenly took a rather demanding tone. He threatened to come to the office if the paid leave is not sanctioned, and said, "Otherwise, I will come to the office."

Notably, coronavirus or COVID-19 is a contagious infection that was declared to a global pandemic, leading to a series of lockdowns in the past.

However, undeterred by John's tone, the HR replied with an unimaginable solution to the issue.

In a very calm tone, the HR said, "After knowing that you are infected, we have immediately asked all other employees to work from home."

But it was this last line that changed the narrative completely. "Therefore, you can come to the office and start working," the HR said, adding that John's leave request has been rejected.
