could have just said, "sure, take the time you need."
instead of wasting 5 minutes and burning down a tree and a half.
Especially since the prompt couldn't have been all that much shorter. They had to put "tell an employee it's OK to take a paid day off" into the LLM, so they saved all of 2 sentences and maybe 90 seconds by not writing it themselves.
Opening chatgpt, copy pasting the answer into the email client probably took them as long as it would have just typing: "It's ok you dont need approval for when you are sick, get well soon"
Ah, but didn't you see how flowery and professional the result sounded? People like flowery, two-faced corporate lingo.
Oh no, somebody did something you wouldn't do, will you ever recover? ๐ฑ

Sick leave approval? What is this. If im sick i dont need approval such an american thing.
Yes. We know that. Some of us Americans have been trying to tell the whole world how bad it is here for a very long time. Lobby for the U.N. to send the blue hats to help us if you actually care
