        Hey everyone, I need some advice.

        I’ve been working for the same company for a while, and due to personal reasons (my mother’s health), I discussed with my engineering manager and got approval to work remotely for most of the past year. I was also visiting the office once a week, as we agreed, and this arrangement was acknowledged by my manager and a few other stakeholders.

        Now that I’ve resigned and given my notice, I’ve been told that I need to apply for leave for the days I worked remotely. The issue is, no one raised concerns about this earlier, either verbally or in writing. I was under the impression that the remote work arrangement was fine and aligned with the company’s hybrid work culture.

        What’s frustrating is that they’re only raising this now after I resigned, and it feels like an unfair request considering the work I’ve done. I completed all my tasks and was fully engaged while working remotely. The remote work situation was well-known and approved throughout the year, but now it feels like they’re questioning my attendance post-resignation, which is causing a lot of confusion and frustration.

        Has anyone experienced something like this before? How should I handle this with my manager? Any suggestions?

          The audacity of such companies baffles me. If one had to apply the remote work as leave then why would he work that day. Stupid people.

                  Mail them that you worked on those days and it was already approved (attach Proofs to the mail if you have any and also add your personal email as well to cc so that you would have access to mail conversation even if they took back you access).

                  Also if you feel or they mention that you won’t get any work experience etc then be prepared to walk away from them. Your salary also serves as proof of employment and accepted by many companies. Also if they don’t provide work experience and you are sure about that then wait for the next salary and after that just mail them that you are leaving immediately maybe give some health excuse etc.
