Workers have made more than 200 calls to employment law experts requesting compassionate leave because Zayn Malik quit One Direction.

The singer, who is engaged to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, announced he had left the boyband yesterday.

Between 6pm last night and 9.30am this morning Manchester-based Peninsula received 220 calls to its Employer Advice Service.

Alan Price, employment law director, said ‘it was a situation you just couldn’t make up’

I worry about the alarming levels of f*cktards we're seeing these days.

I just had to google one direction because I am a luddite and dont have a clue who they are

Luckily I'm off sick with man flu else I'd have to tell work the truth about my one direction obsession

Just sack the idle ****.

[Rossgo]

Some people are so pathetic!

I think I would be suggesting they don't return to work at all ever if they were my staff.

Bratty what will you do if another one leaves???

[D41]

He'll join!!! They gotta have a pair of castinets kicking around somewhere??

It should be an employment question.

Do you follow the band One Direction?

You do? Sorry we can't give you a job. Feck off.

...and we wonder why so many foreign workers are employed over our own .
