Few days back an employee submitted their resignation on toilet paper. This is what was written: “I have chosen this type of paper for my resignation as a symbol of how this company has treated me. I QUIT.” At first glance it feels funny but if you pause and think it is also sad. No one joins a company planning to leave like this. It takes repeated disrespect, broken promises, toxic behavior and a complete lack of empathy to push someone this far. Workplaces are meant to build careers and not break spirits by making employees quit mentally much earlier the day they stop feeling heard, valued or respected. Let us create environments where people do not have to scream through toilet paper to be noticed. #WorkCulture #Leadership #Respect #EmployeeExperience

I think he has gone for an interview… He wasn’t looking sick yesterday. Ashish said. You need 6 days PL for your brother’s wedding? Come on, it’s not your wedding, Arti said. You need 1 CL for bank work? The bank closes in the afternoon, come back in the 2nd half, Rohan said. Even in 2025, we still hear such conversations in offices. Why do 80% of employees feel they must make up reasons for their leave? Leaves should not be treated like courtroom trials. If you are an employee – those 21 Privilege Leaves or 12 Casual Leaves credited to you each year are part of your earned benefits. Just like your salary. They’re not a favour and not gifts. If you are a manager – when someone takes a leave, they’re simply using what’s already theirs. If your team members can take their leaves without guilt, they will return more engaged, motivated and productive. -> Leaves are not a sign of disloyalty. -> Leaves are not a sign of laziness. -> Leaves are a sign that people are balancing life and work and that’s exactly what leads to long-term retention and trust. If we stop policing leaves and start respecting them as a right, we’ll build a culture where no one needs to lie about taking a day off. After all, Happy employees don’t look for excuses to stay away from work… They look forward to coming back.
