This manager's simple reply to a leave request left everyone talking
In Indian offices, getting leave approved– especially around national holidays and weekends– can often feel tricky. So, when a professional from Noida shared a recent conversation with her manager that showed trust and understanding, it quickly caught people's attention online. Kanika Raina, a digital marketing manager, had requested a few days off around Independence Day to enjoy a long break combining the public holiday and the weekend. What really stood out, though, wasn't just the leave request, but the kind and supportive way her manager responded. 'Leave approved. Enjoy your trip to the fullest. Don't take unnecessary stress. We will manage in your absence. Cheers.' This one line– simple, kind, and assuring– has started conversations online around leadership, empathy, and the small ways managers can support their teams. 'We often hear 'We've got your back' in offices…' In her LinkedIn post, Raina reflected on the message and what it meant to her as an employee. 'We often hear 'We've got your back' in offices, but very few teams actually live by it,' she wrote. Her post went on to highlight how gestures like these– though not grand– can have a lasting impact on how people feel about their workplaces.

‘Do not apply if not highly intelligent': Blunt LinkedIn job listing sparks debate
A job listing on LinkedIn has gone viral after it explicitly warned applicants not to apply if they are not "highly intelligent and hardworking.' The post, which was for a sales and analyst role at a remote company, was shared on Reddit, where users questioned both its tone and expectations. The job description asked candidates to apply only if they can work under pressure without losing precision.(Representational) The listing claimed that in its previous hiring round, 'more than 5,000 candidates applied' but 'zero' were found to be both highly intelligent and hardworking. In an apparent attempt to weed out unqualified applicants, the company declared it was now targeting the 'top 1%' of talent in India" for its US-based clients. The job description asked candidates to apply only if they can work under pressure without losing precision. However, the post's boldness and blunt demands drew attention and also sparked criticism. Many Reddit users argued that the role seemed to bundle three separate, high-demand jobs into one position. 'Any SaaS company would have three different functions for these roles and hire the right skills for each role,' one commenter noted. Others called it a reflection of an increasingly competitive job market. 'It is normal in the upcoming IT market. It's gonna be worse and more competitive, especially for companies that haven't touched a billion yet,' wrote one user. Some speculated the tone came from frustration with past hires, while others questioned who would even apply to such a job. "Looks like they have had some bad experiences with the candidates before. But who will apply for such job descriptions anyway?" said one of them.
