A company is facing backlash for strict Holi rules. A Reddit post showed a manager’s message banning colours at work and denying leave. Employees arriving with Holi colours would be marked absent. The company called Holi a "Business Critical Day" and warned against falling sick or having emergencies. A "sandwich salary deduction" policy would cut extra pay for leave around holidays. The post went viral, with people calling it toxic work culture. Many criticised the rules, saying emergencies cannot be controlled. Some even suggested mass resignations as a protest against the company’s strict policies.
