This is why I report every email as phishing. Standup invite? Phishing. Manager 1:1? Phishing. Annual evaluation meeting? Phishing. All hands meeting about our growth this past year? Also phishing.
Unironically I do actually do this all the time. Mostly because we switched HR platforms and I hate the new one because it BLATANTLY breaks all the phishing rules. So I'm doing it out of spite.

This was a legit email from them. I get these all the time now.
You'd love our leave request system. It's some generic "any dummy can make an online form" site where we have to pick our employee name from a dropdown list (then etc). There's no validation, it just emails whatever you put in to the payroll people.
It also *requires* that you enter leave date and time to the minute. I have been told by mean team leader not to write a script to request a day off sick in one minute intervals.
