‘Kabhi mana nahi kiya’: Employee shares chats with super chill manager, internet loves it

A Mumbai-based UX designer recently shared screenshots of his chats with his manager on Reddit, describing him as a “chill manager.”

The post quickly gained attention for its relaxed tone and unusual level of flexibility.

In one exchange, the employee informed his manager he would be late, writing, “Aaj thoda late hoga, matlab 11:15. Late utha aur alarm band hogaya tha.”

The manager responded with a brief “K.”

In another message, the employee asked for a half day, saying, “Aaj main half day lun kya sir, after lunch. Wo thoda didi ko lene jana hai wo aa rahi.”

The manager replied simply, “Ok,” followed by a heart emoji.

The employee later wrote that his manager had never refused requests for work-from-home or leave. “Kabhi wfh ya chutti ke liye mana nahi kiya, & abhi company leave kerne wala hun so I wish aise Manager mujhe mile,” he said.

The post struck a chord with many users, who shared their own experiences and opinions on workplace culture.
