Imagine being 25-years-old and you still have to pull out a mom-card to ask for a leave. But guess what? Prachi, an X(formerly Twitter) user, had to pull out the master card to request for a half-day at work.
Taking it to X(formerly Twitter), Prachi posted a screenshot of the chat with her manager. The screenshot showed Prachi requesting for a half day on a Saturday, citing a family event. She drafted the message by incorporating a number of ‘please’ to put stress on the urgency. “Hello ma'am, Good Afternoon! I wanted to request a half day this Saturday. I understand a leave may be difficult given the project day, but kindly please grant me a half day, as I have to go with my family for a personal event. Please grant me the same,” she wrote.

Her boss responded with a request of her own: “Please please don’t take,” she wrote, adding that it was a “Request” with three crying emojis. “Please na ma’am. I really need to, my mom will kill me,” Prachi replied.
“Imagine being 25 and still pulling the mom said no card,” Prachi captioned the post. X took no time to react to it and it's hilarious to see how people took the conversation. The post divided the internet as some find it sweet as to how the junior-senior conversation took place while others questioned why Prachi had to beg for a leave.

Why do Indians insist on keeping Saturday as a working day? What feats of productivity are you achieving that westerners aren't, by taking one more day a week? Glad I left the country. — Manas (@architect_acc) August 1, 2024

Imagine the toxicity of this workplace where an employee has to beg for a half day, that too on a Saturday. — Citizen (@alttcitizen) August 1, 2024
I get them. Not many employees are lasting in a place that has Saturday working. Best of luck — chkaini 🇵🇸 (@chkaini) August 1, 2024
Whereas on the other hand a few people had other views. “Imagine the toxic work culture where an employee has to beg for half day that too on a Saturday,” expressed one user. “Imagine creating such a toxic culture that 25 yos have to “beg” for a half day on saturday and then bragging about it on SM,” mentioned another user. “Saturday bhi no off ?” questioned the third user.
