It's better to give them a break than overwhelm them with deadlines when they are already under the weather. Less suicidal tendencies the better.

Another Employer Shared Similar Experience

Deja Vu. Exactly same thing happened with me. The guy did not declare even. He was not available in the office and when his TL called him, he said he is in Uttarakhand trying to get over his ex who broke up on Saturday. Gen Z are really...I am worried for my children now.

This Is What He Said in Defence

Mate. No need to assume the worst. The guy is still in my team and has even been promoted for his good work. I was just stating how gen z’s are doing things differently
