Here's what people are saying about it:
An individual wrote, "Ankit Aggarwal I also sent a text like this to my boss in 2020 during a New Year party, but his response was quite the opposite of yours. So requesting everyone to send these things as per your boss' behaviour only, don't text the right thing to the wrong people."
A second commented, "This is what I needed to read today. In my past work experience, there were instances where my team and I were honest and gave our manager the true reasons why we needed leave - it could be a weekend getaway, to attend weddings, or just 'we're mentally exhausted, we need a day off to do nothing'. We weren't permitted to take a day off until someone from our family was either hospitalized or dead!"
A third added, "That’s how high-performing teams and a great culture is created."
A fourth shared, "Ankit! Openness and trust are the cornerstones of a strong team culture. It's these moments of lightheartedness that strengthen our bonds and make our work environment more enjoyable."
"It's great that your team feels comfortable being honest with each other. It is one of the ideal environments to work in," commented another.
