“Marriage Is Not an Emergency”: Manager’s Remark Sparks Outrage Over Toxic Work Culture


An employee’s Reddit post has triggered a debate on corporate work culture after they claimed their manager told them, “Marriage is not an emergency.” Despite informing the company two months in advance about their engagement, the employee was assigned a high-pressure project just days before the ceremony.


The employee alleged that the workplace treats everything as urgent without proper planning, with multiple managers giving conflicting instructions and avoiding responsibility. They also cited daily micromanagement, constant Zoom calls, hourly updates, and a new geo-fencing rule restricting work beyond 120 km from the base location.


According to the post, management ignored prior notice of the engagement and now expects the employee to work through the weekend. The employee added that they are scheduled to be released from the project in March but are still being pressured. Leave applied through the company portal remains unapproved, leaving them stuck between personal commitments and job uncertainty.


The post drew strong reactions online, with users calling out “toxic corporate culture” and urging the employee to prioritise personal life and consider a job change.
