My company is very strict about having us work from the office (WFO) with only one designated WFH day during the week. Honestly, it weird because it’s an advertising agency which deals with social media marketing, something that can be done remotely, but nevermind. They require us to use a vacation day if we want to work remotely on any other day. I wasn't feeling well one day and requested to WFH, even though it was a WFO day. I assured them I could complete all my tasks from home, but my request was denied. Since it was a scheduled leave day according to company policy, I took the day off and rested.

Later, when my workload became urgent, my manager messaged me asking me to get it done. I politely reminded them that per company policy, since I had requested a leave day, it meant I wouldn't be working
