They have sent me a voluntary acknowledgement where they are asking me to sign up for voluntary early release.

Can they legally fire me if I don’t sign up for this? How should I handle this situation? I have several leaves pending, should I apply leaves till my last working day?

I work as a software developer.

They have sent a voluntary acknowledgement to me to sign up for early release which I refuse to acknowledge. Can they legally fire me if I don’t sign up for this acknowledgement?

I’m 29 yo gay guy from Hyderabad, I live & work here too. 5’10”. I work in the fintech domain as an SDE, I can speak 4 languages fluently - Marathi, Telugu, Hindi & ofcourse English. I can also read & write Arabic, can manage basic Kannada, Tamil & Bengali.

I have been told that my cute face doesn’t match my heavy & deep sounding manly voice & a broad chest.

I live alone.

I’m not yet out to my parents, but I’m out to my brother, cousins & few of my close school & campus friends.

At workplace I am perceived as just another straight guy who isn’t married yet, (while my colleagues younger than me already are) & someone who has apparently has elegant sense of clothing & fragrances (given how disappointing the general sense of clothing young people of Hyderabad is, especially at IT companies)

I come from a fairly socially liberal family yet I myself am very religious as a Hindu & I consider this as a very important part of my life. I have a whole personal library for myself which includes set of all important scriptures.

Politically I am conservative, I believe the classification of politics along the lines of left/right/center doesn’t really really befit Indian political scenario, given how such a classification has western nuance/lenses to it. But just for the sake of it, I lean towards ‘Right’.

As a hobby I like to make impromptu travel plans to ancient places of pilgrimage & capture the aesthetics of that place & the temples there.

I also love binge watching documentaries based on history, travel, different cultures, cuisines, flight reviews & air crash investigation. I have been glued to national geographic/discovery channels during my childhood.

In music, I am into Carnatic music, orchestra, Hindustani classical, pop, electronic, Arabic songs, but rarely into Hindi songs.

I am fond of fragrances & can go to buy even expensive perfumes if it fits my olfactory palette. I have a small collection of amazing perfumes which has gotten me several compliments by random people. My personal favourite notes are sandalwood, vetiver, oud, musk, aqua, citrus, sometimes coffee. Notes I don’t like - lavender, patchouli, floral (floral notes in perfumes are great to smell, but not from my body)

Physique wise I used to be regular at building muscle, but since past few months, all I have been doing is just feeding my muscle memory! I can blame upon several reasons for not making it to the gym, but I do acknowledge that its high time I catch up again since my body type is such that I tend to gain weight easily.

Lately I have been trying to eat healthy & cut down drastically upon sugar & carbs & to include more protein in my diet & to mostly cook for myself.

On the dating apps, the kind of guys who find me attractive are generally on the extreme ends of the age range - the twinks less than 23 & 32-34 yo guys, but rarely the guys of my age or +-2. I have always wondered why? I don’t know for myself honestly.

Also on the dating apps, I have disappointed several guys just because they assume that I’m a top looking at my pictures, but to their surprise I’m not.

I am ideally looking for a like minded boyfriend who has a good sense of aesthete.

I was being tossed around getting my team changed every year without promotion where I lost ownership & I had to prove myself from scratch all over again while other team members in the team always have an edge.
