A British CEO has set the internet on fire after denying a wedding leave request!
Lauren Tickner, CEO of the marketing company Scale Systems, faced backlash after refusing two days off to an employee... who was getting married!
Lauren claims the employee had already taken 2.5 weeks off and didn't train their replacement, leaving two critical projects hanging in the balance! She took to the social media platform Threads to explain her decision… and boom!
Her post exploded with over 2.9 million views!
Now, this has sparked a massive debate on social media! Some argue it's harsh, while others say work comes first.
So, where do you stand? Should employees be more responsible for preparing during time off, or should special events like weddings always take priority?
