Curious what firms are doing to keep people socializing during COVID. I miss my coworkers but I'm sick of zoom calls.

Hi, I had applied 5 sick leaves on ultimatix in September(3rd week) and my supervisor(currently rmg) had approved them then it went to HR approver. The HR was taking too much time to approve so I asked her on 7th October that it is pending with you, kindly approve. She told she is not able to see the leaves in her queue and told to cancel and raise it again. I did that and now for that 5 days timesheet leave has been generated and I am not able to cancel them. Any solutions please.
