'Take leave, but finish work': Manager's response to pollution crisis
A Delhi worker's request to work from home was turned down by their manager, even though the city's air quality had hit a hazardous AQI of 425.
The manager advised the employee to take leave but still complete their assigned tasks, which didn't sit well with many online.
The employee shared that they'd been getting headaches from the pollution and that earlier requests for air purifiers at work were also ignored.
